Aiden walked into the classroom. This would be his first ever Hogwarts class. He was excited, but nervous as well. Hopefully, he would be able to answer a question or two. After setting his books down on a desk in the second row, Aiden slipped into the seat. Then, he stood up again.
After a moment, the small boy sat down again. He couldn't decide what to do with himself. Aiden didn't know any of the other students in the room, and he didn't want to get into trouble by talking. But he felt silly just sitting there. Quietness wasn't really the Gryffindor's strong suit. But he was anxious, so it came a bit more easily.
More than anything, Aiden Everett wished his pet prairie dog was with him. Over the last couple of weeks, Minkus and Aiden had developed a strong bond. Without MinkyPinky, the boy felt slightly lost. He would have to learn to manage alone.
Still not really sure what to do with himself, Aiden caught the professor's eyes. It was the headmistress, he'd noticed. Honestly, she was the only teacher he could recognize by face at the time. Aiden hoped that would get easier with time. Something about the headmistress made Aiden feel less nervous about the whole situation. With a quiet, slightly high-pitched giggle, the kid waved to her.
Hearing the professor's instructions, the boy put away his book. He took out his short, whippy wand with too much eagerness. Wandwork was one thing he was very anxious to learn, despite the warnings his mother had given him. She seemed worried that he would accidentally cause many explosions. She could be right, but Aiden hoped not.
The boy then skipped over to one of the cushions and plopped down on one. For some reason, having his wand in his hand made most of his fears disappear.
