Backstory
I grew up in a single parent household in a Muggle town, with my only real company being my pet cat and best friend. So when my halfblood father had seen my letter in the mail, he immediately rushed to tell me - at which I immediately rushed out the window to tell my best friend, Cylus (also a wizard).I was one of the younger students in my year, as I was one of the few who had birthdays after school began. Between this, the fact that I almost missed the train on the first day, I had a Muggle mother (who is now deceased), my father is a disgraced alchemist, and I, myself, prefer books to people, I was immediately made an easy target for bullying.
And it wasn’t just Slytherins. There were also a few in my own house who teased me, as well as some Gryffindors (Hufflepuffs in my year are too nice for that). Eventually, I learned to ignore them and embrace the academics instead of society at the school. I became friends with two Hufflepuffs and a Gryffindor in my year, as well becoming friendly with some of my fellow Ravenclaws. My friend Cylus came in my second year, and was sorted into Slytherin.
Now, multiple years into my time at Hogwarts, it has become a better home than the one I have waiting in that Muggle town. So many opportunities waiting ahead for me in the wizarding world, and so little time to wait.
