Echo

Backstory

Born from a muggle father and a witch mother, I tended to feel divided between two worlds, sometimes finding it hard to fit in while growing up. At first, I didn’t know anything about the magic world, and went to a muggle school like every other muggle child.

That was until strange things began to happen. Objects moved by themselves sometimes, although they were so subtle at first, that no one noticed. But, of course, these minute changes happened more and more often. So, when my mother sat me down to talk, I got scared. Of course, I was expecting my mother to get mad at me over the vase I had broken and getting lectured about it. That’s why Ishe couldn’t believe it when my lovely mother told me everything about the wizarding world, and for a moment, I thought my mother had lost her sanity. But, as she kept talking, everything finally made sense for me.

Still, the bullies at my school couldn’t know it, what could explain why they, as you may expect, kept bothering me everyday. When the hogwarts letter arrived at my house, I thought it was another bad joke from them, until I remembered everything my mother taught and explained to me. Almost tripping on the way, I happily ran to the living room to tell my parents, who took me on a school shopping spree, except, for the first time, it wasn’t just notebooks, pencils and pens. No, that's what I realized when I got my wand. A maple wood wand, with a unicorn core, 14" and surprisingly swishy flexibility. As easily distracted as I am, I almost lost the Hogwarts Express, too amazed by it to realize it was about to leave. Fortunately, my pet, a ginger cat called "Pumpkin" catched my attention, and we rushed to the train.

I was always a shy and quiet kid so when the Sorting Hat said "Slytherin" loud and clear, I just couldn't believe it, but I couldn't be happier as I took a seat on the table with the other students. Now I can't wait to learn as much as possible, as a First Year student.
