The Day Has Come open Closed

Marcus quickly put the Hogwarts robes over his regular clothes, trying his best to look good in it. His messy hair wasn't helping that much, and he felt a little awkward in the uniform, but the boy hoped he would get used to it. He HAD to get used to it, after all, he would spend most of the next seven years of his life wearing those robes. He blushed a little when Emily complimented him - although the boy knew she was just teasing him - and then looked up and down at her. Your hair... It looks pretty that way. Not that it didn't look good before, quite the opposite, actually… Sorry, I think I better shut my mouth now, he turned on his back, a little embarrassed, and turned his attention to his luggage. Yeah, I think so, he simply replied, feeling his anxiety suddenly rise again.

Marcus took the last couple of beans from the box and put them in his mouth.

Pepper and spinach. Not the best combo he ever had, but by no means the worst.

The trip to Hogwarts was about to end, but it was only the beginning of the journey for this young man's life.
