This response is set before Cairo's later sorting and he too is open to any interactions. @Sonatine Webbs @Adrian Calhoun @Edward MacHugh @Willow Anderson

While taking a short ride on the Knight Bus along with his parents, Cairo observed the streets of London, loving the gorgeous view of it all. He enjoyed the intricacy of the architecture of the older vintage buildings along with the gorgeous fountains that sprang out water galore from the vessels of cupids and angels of the sort into a larger trough. Wondering if those fountains were used to hold wishes that would be placed onto coins, Cairo soon shook this thought away as those anxious, nervous feelings sprang back into existence. Feeling absolutely terrified for leaving his parents (his mom most of all) for an entire year, Cairo was forced to swallow down a lump in his throat that felt like burning coal against his skin. Being as analytical as he was, Cairo began to decipher and process the next possible outcomes of him enrolling into this prestigious school for the first time.

Knowing that he grew up to be just a muggle-raised, homeschooled boy, Cairo was quite afraid for he had never attended a school before, he had never left his mom, and he barely knew nothing about magic before his 11th birthday. Boy was that a surprising day for Mr. Hawthorne! Since Cairo rarely made any friends, he wasn't one to receive little to no owls on a regular basis for he was one to receive owls if it was around the Holiday seasons or on special occasions like August 3rd which was his birthday. Cairo was shocked though to receive an owl from a school of magic though! This made Cairo quite frightened for he had known little to no information about magic for he didn't believe it one bit until Seth enlightened the boy with a little demonstration. Being awed over his father's apt skill of enchanting charms, Cairo truly began to believe that magic existed and it wasn't something that happened by chance.

Pushing his cart that was filled brim with his luggage and main trunk of items, Cairo found himself make his way to the train station where he was to aboard the legendary Hogwarts Express after he reached the station. Using his magical map and having a roll of parchment which was his "to do" list which were in his hands, Cairo allowed his father to help the poor boy reach the unusual place called "Platform 9 3/4." Being unsure if it was safe or not to pass through, Cairo wadded up a ball of old parchment and threw it into the wall where Cairo's father told him to throw it at. Oddly enough, the ball of parchment immediately seeped through the wall and just obliterated into non-existence. Not understanding this phenomenon, Seth ensured his son that it would be safe for him to pass through. After saying and kissing his mother and little sister "goodbye", Cairo watched as his mother shed some tears as Cairo pushed his cart into the "invisible" wall and his father followed close behind to comfort Cairo in this strange occurrence. Cairo was in shock in wonder when he made it to the other side all in one piece. Sighing with relief, Cairo heard a whistle of the train stating that it almost ready to take off.

After speaking with his father who gave the nervous boy some loving, inspiring words of encouragement, Cairo nodded in agreement and hugged him one last time before seeing the father off as he waited along with the other parents who wanted to say their farewells with their children as well. Smiling softly to himself, Cairo continued to push his cart towards the loading area but was wayyyy too focused on his ticket to notice that he had accidentally bumped into some other girls and into a boy as well. Oddly enough, these kids looked like they could be first years as well. Feeling absolutely terrible that his smaller bundles of wrapped up school supplies landed on top or too close to those people, Cairo immediately placed his ticket into his pocket before running to assist them.

"Golly! I am truly sorry guys for bumping into you. I must be the clumsiest eleven year old on this planet. I hope the impact didn't hurt as much as I previewed it to be."

Laughing nervously, Cairo bent down and immediately began to stack his parchments up into a pyramid underneath his arms. Blushing from embarrassing himself on the very first day when he wasn't even present at the school yet, Cairo gently placed his packages onto the cart again and secured them tightly, not knowing that he had left some behind because Cairo was analyzing this situation wayyyy too much. Thinking that those potential new students probably hated him, Cairo decided not to say or apologize anymore for one apology was sufficient enough.... well, Cairo hoped so. Praying in his head, Cairo secretly hoped, wished, and desired to make some acquaintances here at Hogwarts as Cairo promised his father he would do. Cairo's only best friends in life are his books for they never judge you, never look down on you, they always listen to you for they have no choice, and they also give out great advice, wisdom, and words of knowledge that is truly priceless.... but, that wasn't enough for Cairo for his parents made him promise to make friends and so, that is what Cairo would try to do. Maybe he would have luck with these people? Who knows? Cairo can only hope that everything would be sorted out shortly and hopefully eventually as well.
