[font=Century Gothic]Ari enjoyed his life before Hogwarts. Being born a pure-blood, his family fully acknowledged and participated in events within the Wizarding World. He held a reputation as a very creative kid in his class, often coming up with interesting ways of completing projects. He was and will probably always be an avid fan of quidditch and has attended many games with his mother and father, including the World Cup as a present for his 9th birthday.

Two years ago on his 9th birthday after returning from the Quidditch World Cup, Ari and his family sat down to eat cake and celebrate. His mother lit the candles and they began to sing "Happy Birthday". As they sang, Ari began to think of what he would wish for. He decided to keep it modest and just hope for a year of happiness within the family...and maybe another trip to the World Cup next year. Once they finished the song, he closed his eyes and blew out the candles. The moment he blew out the candles, though, confetti erupted from where the flames were, showering the entire family (and the cake). A little shocked, everyone erupted in laughter, unphased by the first instance of magic from Ari. He was thrilled at the proof. He'd always assumed that because he was a pure-blood, he'd have magic, but he didn't expect his first experience to be like this. It was incredible.

Upon receiving his letter to Hogwarts, Ari and his family immediately purchased the needed materials for schooling. It was growing hard to wait much longer for September to come. But finally, the day came and he happily boarded the Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 and 3/4. The next hours passed by very slowly as he watched the countryside roll by.
Then, the massive castle of Hogwarts loomed into view against the black starlit sky. More than eager to get off the train and cross the river, Ari was one of the first students to exit the Hogwarts Express. Soon, it would be time to be sorted.

As the students went single file across to face the sorting hat, nervousness was beyond tangible for everyone. The world seemed to blur out of focus as the first round of names were called.
"Gwild, Ari", the professor said, and everything snapped back into focus. He made his way to Sorting Hat, and gently lowered it only his head. A few seconds passed before a shout of "RAVENCLAW" was heard. The table of blue erupted in cheers, and Ari knew right then he was going to love it at the school.[/font]
