Then there are also purebloods, which used to mean that your family was magic as far back as you could date it. Now most people take it to mean that you just had a witch and wizard for parents. Since you're a muggle-born some really mean people might think you're less of a wizard than they are. Don't listen to them. My mum was a muggle-born and she is the best witch I know! Graduated top of the class at Hogwarts.

Quidditch is the most popular game in the the wizarding world, but my friend Set would be better at telling you about it. As he's really into it, I'm more a stand on the sidelines and cheer kind of person. He should be here soon...

As for what I know about Hogwarts... it was founded centuries ago by for the most brilliant witches and wizards ever: Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Each of the founders prized certain characteristics in their students, and therefore when we get to Hogwarts we'll be sorted into one fo the four houses. Hufflepuffs are loyal and just people who would do anything for their friends. Gryffindors are brave, daring and chivalrous. Ravenclaws are very intuitive and seek knowledge more than anything. And Slytherins are really ambitious people.

We can earn and lose ponits for our house at school, and at the end of the year the house with the most points gets the House Cup which I guess is like this really big trophy.

My mum says Hogwarts is the best place in the world to grow up. That you learn so much and meet people you're going to be in contact with for the rest of your life probably. There are supposed to be secret passageways and hidden rooms and the staircases move! All the teachers there are brilliant. I can't wait to get there!

Cadence turned to Leeroy and smiled at him. He didn't need to feel scared about going to Hogwarts. It was going to be the best time of his life.



Seeing a girl who looked about their age walking down the corridor looking lonely, Cadence poked her head out the compartment door. Hello! Would you like to come a join us? There's plenty of room!

Each of the founders prized certain characteristcs in their students, and this is how we're sorted into houses. Hufflepuffs are very just and loyal and will do anything for their friends. Gryffindors are known for the courage, bravery, chivalry, that kind of stuff. Ravenclaws love to learn and ask questions and think about really complex stuff. And Slytherins are very ambitious people.

When we get to school, we'll have to put this hat on that tells us what house we're in, and while we're at school we'll live with that house and have clases and everything with them. When we do good things we'll earn house points, and when we break rules we lose them. Whichever house has the most points at the end of the year wins the House Cup.
She stopped and smiled at all of them. I read a lot she said simply.

But of course I won't discriminate over which house you're in. That's not important! For some reason, she sincerely hoped that Set would sit next to her. They were best friends, after all.

And I'm really sorry to hear about your dad. That must be really hard to not have a father.
