Freshly-turned eleven-year-old Aiden Lockwood came down the steps of the boys dormitory after a very long struggle. Hogwarts robes were NOTHING like his HOME clothes....The tiny boy's mother had dressed him in his robes before he had gotten on the train the first time, and he really didn't know how to do them by himself. Now, he had finally gotten them on, though had somehow managed to get them both inside out AND backwards. Still the boy felt like he had made a very big accomplishment.
"Hello...." he said, holding his teddy bear Wally as he always was. The Hufflepuffs would soon find out that Aiden went NOWHERE without Wally. That bear was attached to him at all times. But of course he was! Wally was his best friend!
Now what? Mommy had said make friends. How did you make friends? Aiden was kind of tired since he hadn't slept like really at all cause he'd been homesick all night and that had made him cry. But now it was a new day...and Aiden wanted to try his best. "Im Aiden!" he said to nobody in particular. He looked around. Everybody was being kind of wild. But there was a nice boy who had talked to him yesterday at the feast (Jude). And a girl who was reading. "What's that...?" Aiden asked, pointing at the girl's book and looking up at her curiously. |
