Duel Abra; age 11, late 2091
Abey had been waiting for this day for ages. He'd hardly slept the night before. The Duelling Tournament had captured his attention since the moment he'd heard about it, so naturally he had signed up for it. It didn't even matter to him that he was only a first year and had barely learnt the most basic of spells.
So when Abey's alarm clock went off the day of his first duel, he was awake at once, scrambling for his wand before running straight out of the dormitory; he'd slept in his clothes the night before.
It made sense, actually. This was the happiest he’d ever been, at least since he’d been very young, Abra was sure of it. Finding happy memories wasn’t quite as difficult as it used to be.
That was why he’d had the idea to come and try today. It had occurred to him that, continued anxiety or not, he was happy. He had happy memories in abundance. May today, he’d thought to himself, that which had always been non-corporeal might finally change.
He had been right.
Abra beamed to himself as he watched his cheetah patronus sprint around the spare classroom.

Niko had never been mistreated at Winterhaus, but he had also never thought of it as much of a place of comfort, and that was without even having anything else to compare it to. He had spent his entire life so far living in the children’s home.
All that had changed. He now found himself in a completely different country, living in a big house with a man named Jamie and a man named Caspar and a girl named Pippa. Already, the house and the people had started to feel right. They had started to feel like comfort.
Like home.

Kaiser sat on his bed, balancing the new wand on his palm. Finally, he had one of his own. Fourteen inches. Hawthorn, with the heartstring of a Hungarian Horntail; the German wandmaker had told him that that was a particularly fearsome dragon.
The wand was a gift from the Hölzers, his temporary foster family. As he was due to move to England in just over a week, it was something to remember them by.
A gift.
Kaiser closed his fingers around the wand and gripped it tightly. He would miss it here, but he was determined to get to Hogwarts.

Spencer, who had expected to be among the 'M's, was taken by surprise upon hearing his full surname. He recovered quickly, and hurried forward. The Sorting Hat was gonna read his mind and tell him all sorts of cool stuff about his DESTINY. He was dying to know if he'd be a swimming champion; obviously the Hat would be able to tell him!
Spencer plopped himself down on the stool. He felt the Hat skim the hairs on his head and got ready to start talking IMMEDIATELY, except that it instantly bellowed, "GRYFFINDOR!"
Oh. Well. That worked too!

He'd never expected much from his OWL grades, even after being homeschooled at Stemp House for most of the year, where he'd done a little better academically. Jordan may have been a Ravenclaw, but a stereotypically smart one he was not.
Except apparently he was smart, according to the counsellor, just in different ways. And didn't that just sum him up? Different.
In the end, scanning through his results, Jordan found that he'd done a lot better than expected. Four Acceptables! A smattering of fail grades too, but just one solitary Troll.
Jordan never cared about History of Magic anyway.

Spinning in the street, spinning in the street. Arms flung wide, spinning, spinning. Shoppers getting whapped in the face or guts or arms. They shouldn't be so close. Spinning, spinning, spinning.
Diagon Alley was loud busy loud. Busy loud busy. Hot fuzzy smells bad. Diagon Alley, like maths. Diagonally to what? Smells bad loud busy hot fuzzy. Spin it away, spin it away. Best were circles, circles were bubbles, bubbles were safe. Jordan could spin anything away. Not a superpower. Fake. His powers were real.
People didn't like Jordan to spin.
Jordan liked to spin.
Spinning fixed everything.
He span.

The reality of the situation didn't take long to sink in, it never did. At the ripe old age of nine, Niko was a seasoned professional when it came to understanding and accepting reality. He was a seasoned professional - or close to it - in loads of things, actually. Or at least destined to be one.
One of those things was swimming. Or supposed to be.
Niko was a natural in swimming. Or supposed to be.
His jaw set, he looked anywhere else. Anywhere but at the silver medal draped around his neck.
Second place.
He had lost.

Spencer glanced up at his dad, jogging a few paces to keep up with his furious strides.
"Twice in two years. Two headmasters I've had to have this discussion with."
They passed a newsagents; a sports magazine in the window immediately caught Spencer's eye. He stopped and pressed his nose against the glass. "Dad, hey dad, can I have that? Dad? Daaaaaaaad?"
A moment later he was RUDELY pulled away from the shop window, his father's hand firmly around his wrist.
"Sure, Spencer, I'm going to reward you for getting yourself kicked out of another school."
"Really?"
"No!"

The others couldn't get up here. It was a trick reserved for Kaiser: shuffle up the wobbliest drains, leap across beams with ease, squeeze through tiny hidden gaps like a cat, and crawl up the outer walls, digging his fingers and toes into impossibly small cracks in the stone.
Kaiser could get onto any roof in any city. None had beaten him yet.
And up there, at last, a solitude that made perfect sad sense.
Kaiser couldn't yet recognise that particular brand of sadness; for now it was triumph. He stood up high above the city, and surveyed his kingdom.
