Magical

I was a wizard. Or at least that is what I was told. It seemed so strange. I came from a non-magical family and had no idea what Hogwarts was until a few weeks ago. I always wished that magic was real, but I never expected that it would be.

I took a seat in an empty compartment of the train. Everyone here seemed to already have friends and I didn’t want to intrude on them. I felt very alone here, but if I had learned anything from my previous years of school, it was to keep a positive look on things. Surely I would make friends somehow. I could feel that I was going to have a good time here.

Hogwarts was going to be my second chance. No one really like me back at my old school. They thought that I was too much of a show off. Not with sports or anything normal like that. No, I was just abnormally smart and everyone despised me for it. I suppose I shouldn’t have been so cocky about it though.

At that point I heard a small knock at the door. I looked up to see a boy about my age at the door. He was cute and nerdy with brown hair and glasses that were obviously a bit big on him. He was surrounded by a few more boys, but I didn’t take too much time to look at them. I was so absorbed in the little brunette that I almost didn’t notice his question.

“Can we sit with you? Everywhere else is full,” he asked. “Uh yeah, sure,” I spit out, rather quickly. “My name is Mikey. Mikey Way,” He said as he and his friends took their seats. Mikey sat next to me. “This is Pete Wentz,” he said motioning to the guy across from me. He looked at me and gave a little smirk. “That guy is Zack Merrick,” Mikey said, pointing at the guy next to Pete. “And finally, this is Dallon Weekes,” he finished, gesturing to the kid next to Zack. Dallon gave a small wave and continued to look down at his book.

“So, who are you?” Mikey asked me. “I-I’m Ray. Ray Toro,” I stutter a bit. Oh great. Now I look nervous. What house do you expect to be in?” Pete asked me. “House?” I asked back. “Yeah, like Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin,” Zack Said. “I’m sorry. I don’t know what those are,” I said quietly. “Oh, you must be a muggleborn,” Pete said. “A what?” I questioned. “A wizard who comes from a non-magical family,” Mikey replied.

“Don’t worry. We’ll help you out here,” Mikey said reassuringly. For the next few hours we continued to talk to each other. Once in a while Dallon would say something and then look back down at his book. We got really close to each other. I almost forgot what it was like to have friends. We had a lot of fun together on the train.

I wasn’t sure what the houses were, but I figured that they were a way of dividing us. I really hoped that I would be in the same house as them. Or at least the same house as Mikey. That kid was adorable. I didn’t really know how I felt about him yet. He was very cute and he was super nice to me. As of now, I figured that we could just be great friends.
