I guess you could say I grew up like every other normal wizard. I was born into a pure blood family line and spent my young childhood hearing about the " boy who lived". My parents made sure I was always kept from harms way, going to great lengths to keep me protected, but now was my time to break away. My 11th birthday was last month and this month is time for me to go to Hogwarts. I had forced my parents to let me go shopping at Diagon Alley early, which they reluctantly agreed to and scolded me to be patient which felt impossible. I don't know any other 11 year old who wouldn't be counting the minutes till they boarded the Hogwarts express. That night I sat by our fire place and listened to my
big sister talk about what to expect. I would ask my brother but it's his last year and he's busy getting ready to go to Romania with one of his friends, Charlie Weasley. " so then you'll get sorted, but if you're not in Slytherin, I'm disowning you as my little sister." This is the sentence that shook me. Almost every single member of the family was in Slytherin except my brother and one of my cousins. The reason this scared me so much was because when my brother was sorted into Ravenclaw, my parents just didn't treat him the same way. Even though they care about him, the judgement, and disappointment is extremely evident in their eyes. Especially in my mother's. She was the classic pure blooded Slytherin with an extremely prejudiced family. I know that it's not her heart, it's just the way she was raised. I had realized I wasn't paying attention to my sister so I pushed the thought out of my mind and refocused. " and Snape is super strict so listen in his class but he's nice to the Slytherins, plus we know him since mom is friends with the Malfoys and....." I tried hard to focus but my mind was too clouded . "Hey
I'm tired I think I'll go to bed now." I was truly more awake then I had ever been in my 11 years on this earth, but I was done hearing about Slytherin this and Slytherin that. I stayed
up all night thinking, but my lack of sleep from previous nights caught up with me, and I eventually drifted into a dreamless slumber.
