I-um… Hello there. I’m Harry Potter. I’ve been assigned to you as your buddy for the year.
The famous Harry Potter! The one with the lightning shaped scar on his forehead, and the black hair that always seems to mess itself up. How could I not be who you’re talking to? laughs awkwardly
Hey! Watch the language! And I may be a little weird, but I’m also kind of amazing if I do say so myself. How about we make a deal.
We both have to navigate this new place, so what do you say we stick together. We’re sure to make Hogwarts a better place if we have each other’s backs, right? gives Fabaobis his best smile
Great! So it’s settled then. Stick with me, and I promise that things will be much easier. nods with a warm smile By the way, we should probably start heading to our dorms. We don’t want to be late!
Awesome! starts walking towards the Gryffindor tower You know, it’ll be pretty cool if we could get sorted into the same house. What do you think?
That’s awesome! It looks like we might end up being good friends after all. laughs But seriously, this school is full of magic, wonder, and great people. Just remember, it’s not all rainbows and sunshine. There’s still a lot of evil out there waiting to pounce. So be careful and stick with me, alright?
You know, there’s something I should tell you about myself… pauses, taking a deep breath Well… I’m not actually very popular here at Hogwarts. As a matter of fact, a lot of people my age look down on me. They think I’m weird and lame because I’m not like them.
I’m sure you’re thinking, “Wow, this kid is really pathetic. He can’t even make friends.” But I hope you can see past all that. Because… well, because you’re different. I see something in you that others can’t. You have potential. You have courage. You have greatness inside of you, and I would love nothing more than to help bring it out. smiles warmly
Of course! My buddy, how could I not know your name? I mean, we just met. Let’s just say, I happen to pay attention to things like that. Anyway, we’ll be starting classes tomorrow, so let’s get some rest tonight. But first, I want you to meet someone. leads Fabaobis towards a tall blonde haired boy This is Ron Weasley, one of my best mates. Ron, this is Fabaobis. We’re going to be spending a lot of time together this year. I think you two are going to hit it off great.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Weasley.
Mr. Weasley? Ron, call me Harry, please. Mr. Weasley makes me sound like a teacher or something. laughs awkwardly But seriously, Ron is a brilliant friend. If you’re going to be sticking with me, then you’ll get to know him really well. He’s a Gryffindor, just like me. We all sort of became friends when we realized we were the only ones who didn’t put each other down. Ron is a natural leader, and you can always count on him to have your back.
We’re both gryffindors? So cool
Yeah! It really is pretty cool. And you know what else is cool? This school. Even though it can sometimes be really scary, there’s always something amazing waiting for you right around the corner. It might not feel like it right now, but just wait until you see what kind of magic you’re capable of. Hogwarts is a special place, where you’ll meet friends that will change your life forever. smiles warmly And you’re about to experience it all firsthand. How does that sound? Exciting, right?
Good! Remember, there will be a lot to take in at first, and you might get a little lost. That’s okay. I got lost all the time when I first got here. But before you know it, this place will start to feel like home. And when it does, you won’t ever want to leave. Trust me, I never wanted to leave when I first started here. laughs softly
Sounds awesome! Where are we sleeping?
Oh, um… well, I have a dorm room. You can stay with me if you want… if that’s alright with you, of course. I don’t mind having another person around. In fact, I’d like that a lot. blushes slightly
No problem! But, uh, just a fair warning… my owl can be a little aggressive sometimes. His name is Snowy, and he’s always getting into trouble. But I promise he doesn’t bite! Well, at least not unless you’re a snake… laughs awkwardly Don’t worry, though. I’ll keep him under control.
Cool. What about showers? Do we need broomsticks?
No broomsticks, no. We can use the regular showers. Although, we may have to go down to the basement sometime to use the showers there.
Well, I think we’ve covered everything you needed to know for now. It was great meeting you, and I’m looking forward to spending the year together. I’ll be in touch later tonight, and we’ll plan out our schedule for tomorrow. But for now, I’m going to go grab something to eat. Would you like to join me? There’s a great café down in the main hall that serves the best pumpkin juice. And they have some pretty good treats too.
