“If the sky could dream, it would dream of dragons.”
First Year: Ben started attending Hogwarts for the 2069-2070 school year after receiving his letter at the turning of his eleventh birthday. Sorted into Gryffindor House at the opening feast his first year, the boy is trying his best to learn the way of his fate and how to do his house and family proud.
For the most part, he was a quiet, shy boy as he tested the waters of his new school and home away from home. Most notable of his first year was the disaster in one of his final potions class where he grew fearful of the subject and potions masters in general by the horrible reaction Professor Lafay gave him in response to his explosive mistake.
Second Year: On the road, or rather track, to his second year, he was joined by a companion. Conrad the owl was adopted at the British Creature Fair. Having been rather quiet his first term as he took it all in, Ben tried his best to become more friendly and noticeable. There was no way he is going to continue to be in the shadows and his parents had done their best to nudge him out of them. At the very least Conrad had made a friend...a toad named Gus and the boy, Adi, attached seemed destined to be Ben's first real friend at Hogwarts.
All in all the term was going along rather well until both boys started noticing themselves aging a lot quicker than normal, something that was effecting a good chunk of the student body as well as half the staff. What was this mystery? By the time the end of the term came about, Benny looked ancient and felt it to, until healers from St. Mungos and the Ministry came to the rescue. The second year once more looking and feeling like the 12 year old boy he was on the train ride home.
Third Year: News that quidditch had been cancelled for the duration of the term hit the Gryffindor hard but it wasn't as if he was bored with nothing to do. In fact he was so busy with new friends and old that his best friend, Adi grew jealous, turning into days and weeks where they weren't talking to each other. At the end of the term, it was revealed he had been voted as one of the students "Most Likely to Play Professional Quidditch," as well as "Most Likely to be Best Friends Forever" with Adi.
Fourth Year: His fourth year started out almost literally with a bang. Ian, a housemate of Adi's and friend to him and AJ had decided to cause trouble on the carriage ride up to the castle culminating in a fight at the Gryffindor House table, Benny having to step in both times, first protecting his best friend's girl from a hex and then by stepping in to calm the angered friends. But that was only to be the first drama filled moment of the school year for him.
A troublesome Fairy Tale Book took quite an interest to the staff and students in the school, Hogwarts soon filled with the occasionally possessed storybook character. Ben was one of the victims, taking the form of the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. The fourth year still doesn't fully remember it, bits and pieces filled in by his friends who had thought him either ill or crazy in his moment of weakness.
Angel and Benny had a friendly competition over the third spot in the Gryffindor Board most of the term, the fourth year eventually winning out with 684 house points. The boy taking seventh place in the school overall, quite an improvement over previous years.
Fifth Year: TBD
