Out of the Orphanage

A preface

I've lived in this orphanage for as long as I can remember. I don't even know who I am. I'm just a number. 

In this orphanage we are addressed as numbers, and when we are 11 we are told who our parents are and if they'll take us back. Not that I care. I've been here for a reason. My parents are surely dead.

This is an orphanage for witches and wizards, so when we are 11 we get to go to Hogwarts and we are told all about our parents. I want to be in Ravenclaw. My personal mantra is 'wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure' which the dorm mistress told me is the Ravenclaw slogan. 

This orphanage is also a boarding prep school for young witches and wizards who do have parents. It's how I met Ron Weasley. He was best friends with me and Hope before he ran out of money and could no longer come. We still owl though, so that's cool. 

Hope Potter is my best friend and we are secretly in love. We don't think that the dorm mistress will be very accepting of our relationship (she is so stuck in her ways). She is the twin sister of Harry Potter and has been here since she was 2. Dumbledore didn't think to bring her to the Dursley's as well, and to be honest we think she's better off for it.

Our story begins on my 11th birthday...
