Hogwarts First Centaur Student

Hogwarts

Opal was sitting under her favorite tree in the forest. She was excited for her first day at Hogwarts. Minerva seemed scared though. Minerva had cared for Opal since she was a foal. She had found Opal abandoned by her herd in the Forbidden Forest. She had taken her to a cabin in the center near a small creek and Opal had lived there since, learning magic from Minerva. Two days ago Minerva came to the cabin with a man called Dumbledore. He had talked in hushed tones with Minerva, obviously not wanting Opal to hear. She had managed to pick up a few sentences in the conversation like "she does know some magic!" Or "she'd be the only centaur there". She hadn't given it much thought until Dumbledore called her over to talk.

"Opal, you have learned magic from Minerva correct?" Dumbledore said. "Yes" Opal said in a shy manner avoiding eye contact. "Would you show me a few spells?" "Yes. Lumos Maximus." A ball of silver light grew from the tip of her wand and illuminated the small room. "Wonderful. Can you show me an unlocking charm?" "Of course." She said as she trotted over the wooden floor to a cabinet locking it and and whispering "Alohamora" It clicked open and Dumbledore looked at her and said "Opal would you like to go to Hogwarts?"

Opal was a black centaur with two white socks on her back hooves. The news that she would be going to Hogwarts was amazing. Hogwarts was a school for humans like Minerva. A centaur had never gone to Hogwarts before. She had everything that she needed for the school and was more excited than she had ever been. After checking that she had everything for the seventh time Opal decided to practice some simple spells before lying in her pile of flowers and vines she used for a bed. Opal drifted off to sleep thinking off the new world that awaited her.
