Backstory

I grew up in the muggle world, all my life it was just me and my mom. On my eleventh birthday I received my letter to Hogwarts. My mom was shocked, before this, neither of us knew of the existence of magic. On my way to platform nine and three quarters I met my first friend in the wizarding world, Cedric Diggory. He showed me how to get onto the platform and invited me to sit with him on the train. Once the train stopped, I waved good-bye to Cedric and followed the other first years to the boats. Once we reached the castle we met Professor McGonagall. Once the sorting ceremony began I recognized a few boys that were sorted before me. One, a boy with pale blonde hair and silver eyes, I met briefly on my trip to Diagon Alley, he was sorted into Slytherin. The other boy had jet black hair, green eyes and a lightning bolt scar on his forehead, he was placed in Gryffindor. I knew him for awhile, we grew up in the same neighborhood. Finally my name was called. The Sorting Hat was placed on my head and it spoke to me in my head, 'I see a kind heart. Also a dreamer with a wonderful imagination. You would flourish in either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. But what's this I sense you would fit in in Slytherin too. Hmm. Interesting. But where to place you? Hmm, where do you want to be placed?'The first thing that came to my mind was Hufflepuff, please. 'Hufflepuff, are you sure? Well then.' "HUFFLEPUFF!" the hat shouted.
And that is how I was sorted. Over my years at Hogwarts I became friends with many people including, most of the Weasley family, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Draco Malfoy, Justin Finch-Fletchly, Cedric Diggory, and many others.
