Backstory

I knew from the very beginning that I'd be sorted into Hufflepuff. Although my father was a Ravenclaw, and my three brothers were as well, I had a feeling in my gut that I was one of the yellow and blacks. However, my mum was a Muggle, you see, but she still helped me every day to inspire me to find a talent. We went through potions, law, you name it, I tried it. But I was stuck on Quidditch [I always beat my brothers!] and magical creatures. I eventually decided to go further with Quidditch, though, so as soon as I got sorted I was excited for my second year! As a first year, though, I'm still quite new to everything, so I'll update you soon with my favorite and least favorite classes. People have shamed me for being a halfblood already, but it's mostly the Slytherins. Don't get me wrong; they're quite nice, but the elite ones like the Malfoy heir are quite rude. My father was a friend of a friend of Harry's, and he tells me all these stories of how Draco annoyed Harry! It's quite interesting. I wish I could've been around during the time of Voldemort. I would've loved to help in the battle. I'm glad we've somewhat returned to a time of peace, though. At least now, I can use my strength of kindness to help people in need anyway! I may not be the best at paying attention, but I try. And that's all that matters. Anyway, I'm absolutely excited about being a famous Quidditch player! I hope to have a few animals at home one day, too. My wife or husband better like animals as well! Oh yeah.. I'm a trans boy, so that makes it a bit harder. Hogwarts has been very kind though. I just.. I wish there were a spell that could transform you into the gender you are, heh.. Either way, magic is absolutely fascinating to me. I want to learn EVERYTHING. It's so awesome compared to the Muggle world! The Sorting Hat was between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, but it decided quite quickly that I'm more Hufflepuff. I just want to help people, though. To be happy. That's all there was to it. My cats and gerbils could definitely agree. There's Budzo, Maple, then Sirius and Lupin, named after those great people. All in all, I'm so excited to learn!
