Septimus dreams of the day that this headline (or some version of it, at least) will grace the front page of the Daily Prophet. He sees his name in striking bold print; below it, a glowing overview of his many accomplishments and accolades, bound to impress wizards all throughout the United Kingdom and even beyond. The perfect Prophet profile of the young wizard's imagination is complete with a handsome, animated portrait of Septimus at the height of his success, smiling a dashing smile for the newspaper's countless readers. When he gets to hold this paper in his own two hands, Septimus will have all he could ever desire.SEPTIMUS THEODORE MERRILL: A Wizard to Watch
But that future is still many years down the road! As the summer sun shines through his windows, young Septimus waits for his first day at Hogwarts, where he hopes to meet other wizards and witches his age and make some real friends for the first time. He also plans on making a name for himself early on, although he's not quite sure how to do this yet. Septimus expects that his time at Hogwarts will be the first step towards one day securing that prized spot on the Daily Prophet's front page; now, the fun is in discovering how he finds success (or how success finds him)!
