To get along with you or not ?
Being a muggle born isn't easy. From what I've been told, they are mocked because of their blood. It's not what I want, but if that's the price of being a witch, I can ignore that caveat. If someone had told me I was a witch before the other day, I probably wouldn't have believed them, but my incident would have removed some of my doubts, just a little. After the magical incident, even though I already knew it a little, I knew even more that I was weird and that I had a problem. Witch, I wouldn't have guessed it. All the same, it is, against all odds!
Not long ago, in fact, last week, once I had my letter in hand, I knew for sure who I was, for the first time in my life. How happy I was! So, as mentioned, I went to Diagon Alley to buy my school supplies, including a magic wand, the most useful instrument for wizards it seems. Cool! Mine has an owl's head, weird but stylish! This was only part of my entry into the world of magic, the real world I was now facing. Then, according to the instructions, I had to go to platform 9 3/4, which brought me confusion because at King's Cross, it seemed to me that there was track 9, 9 and a half and 10... Well, it was magic after all, there was surely a solution... Magic!
I then thought about possible solutions and realized that it could only be one thing: a path invisible to muggles, obvious, right? As I approached track 9 and a half, I was asking questions, until I saw a brown boy with a yellow tie crossing the pillar of track 9 and a half... I had to cross it at my own time, so it was obvious! Courage and determination in overflow, it was not a problem for me, to go for it. Not at all contrary to my habits. Although sometimes, I knew how to be more discreet... No big deal!
When I got to where I needed to be, I felt like I belonged. This place was crowded with sorcerers, noise and magic, with a train standing there, all red, beautiful. I was obsessed with beautiful machines. On the side of the rounded locomotive was painted in white "Hogwarts Express" my train! I absolutely had to get on board before it was too late!
So with great haste, I boarded the beautiful train. I almost ran to get in and once I got to the steps, I almost fell, luckily I held on! Contrary to what I thought, the train was not about to leave and I found myself in an empty compartment. A little silence won't hurt me, I thought. I took out my precious camera and took a picture of my compartment and the crowded platform I saw through the glass separating me from it. It was of course, enough to document my experience but I had to keep his photos to myself and my family, the magic secret above all!
Having nothing to do before the train left, I looked at the many pictures I had taken, not so long ago. However, the device was already very full! No big deal. I let go of my craft, set it down next to my luggage, and lay down on the bench on my back, my hands resting on the back of my head, full of red locks. I cried out very loudly : "I can't wait! Hogwarts, I'm coming!", Believing that no one would hear me...

To get along with you or not ?
After having bought everything I needed for Hogwart, I had only one wish left, to be alone.
I had to support people for so much time until now but I can finally be alone, free of them, free of this need to "talk" or "listen" to people saying dumb things like "How are you" or "where do you want to go" as if it wasn't clear enough that I hate talking and being with them. I wanna go somewhere I don't have the necessity to talk to people, a place where I have no obligations, no sanctions by staying quiet.
And this is now, for Hogwarts, to enter my life. Or for me to enter Hogwarts, whatever to be honest, life may be more and more peaceful starting now. The more I'll grow, the more I'll have calm and peace, until finally I can have a job and an apartment where I will be... Alone.
The rest doesn't really matter, Slytherin, Griffindor, Hupplepuff or Ravenclaws... I don't really care but I have to admit I'd prefer Slytherin since I love reptiles and insects and my one and only friend is my snake, which I like to talk to... But anyway, let's take the train now before an idiot start screaming AGAIN about how hard they wanna be hogwarting, I want too but... Screaming it ?
Anyway, now..
Walking by this long corridor, looking at all these people, talking and joking and laughing. All I can think about all that is how pathetic they look but, anyway, let's be real, I'll never talk to them lol.
So whatever they want to do and do.
Now here's a cabin which does look empty, let's install.
