Backstory

Im new, bear with me..

Growing up, witches and wizards was fiction.Something to give us dreamers an escape into a world where being different was magical. Seeing unexplainable things was somewhat normal. Turning your dog into a miniature fire barking dragon was just an honest mistake. And traveling to who even knows where to find an ancient most probably going to kill you object/creature with your crew was the best days of your life. Which is why when that crazy ass owl swooped down and scared the living daylight out of me, delivering the Hogwarts Enrolment letter, I ended up freezing in my tracks for a good 5 minutes before realising what had actually happened. It hit me like the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs (I'm not exaggerating don't roll your eyes at me). It's real and I'm in.

I have always wanted magic to be real, you have no idea. Both my aunts are witches and I've known this my whole life but like so many others i didn't fully register or even believe them. I had been told that I have Romanian witch blood passed down to me from my ancestors and so it makes sense that i am here, but why now? Im already 16. I know nothing about magic whereas the majority of the students here have known and studied it most of their lives. Im at a disadvantage and have a hell of a lot of catching up to do but i don't give up easily and i don't take shit from others either, I may just make it out unscathed.

I love meeting new people so send that owl my way ;)

Catch you in the halls,
