People say that, in a nutshell, I'mreally smart, and funny. I love to read, especially these Muggle books my mom helps me find. They’re really interesting. I learn a lot from them. I’m pretty quiet, and relaxed, not at all like my sister, who’s always buzzing. I like to take things slowly, and watch the world turn, you know? It’s fun to just sit and watch things, like you’re an outsider looking in. And, this isn't something I talk about much, but... as much as I love reading, I really wish I could go on an adventure. That's why I love reading so much; it takes me places I'll never go, to see things I'll never really see. I guess I could probably find a way to have some real excitement in my life, but... I just don't know. I don't think I really have it in me, as much as I would like to. I'm brave enough, I guess, but... I'm timid. I could work on that, I guess, get myself to where I could find the adventure I crave, but I don't even know where to start.
My background story isthat I come from a very happy, very loving family. My dad’s really smart, and he home-schools me and my sister, although she’s about to go away to school so it’ll just be the two of us soon. I’m okay with that, though, because she’s a bit disruptive when dad’s teaching us. She gets that from our mom, she’s an artist and she’s had Gypsy doodling and painting and sculpting since the day she was born, I think. I prefer to just sit and read, honestly. I feel like I’m a lot better with words than I am with my hands. My mom took me to a bookstore once when I was 5, because she was trying something new with her pottery and wanted a reference guide, and I found the fiction section for kids and went crazy. Ever since then, I’ve almost always got my nose stuck in a book. It’s nice to just sit back and let the words take you to someplace you’ve never been before, to let them make you into someone you’re not and live a life that’s not yours. I've never been... I'm not good at life. If that makes sense? I guess it doesn't. I'm just... awkward and shy and quiet and I'd much rather spend my time reading than doing anything else. I've never really had any friends. Gypsy always wants me to hang out with her and hers, but I'm not like them and it's annoying. Although, there is one girl she's friends with who's actually my age, Tanya, and she seems pretty nice. I've actually met a couple of kids my age recently, so I won't be going into school with no friends, I don't think. So that's good, I suppose.
I actually managed to make a few friends on the first night of school. Kas and Piera, they were both sorted into Ravenclaw with me. And another boy named David, who I can't tell if I like or don't like. The way he talks sometimes annoys me, like he thinks he knows more than the rest of us, but overall he seems nice. I think it's just because he's not used to being around other people his age. The year seemed like it was getting off to a nice start, but we went to this Festival thing in Autumn, thinking it would be fun... I was so wrong. While we were there, these vampires attacked! One of them got Kas really bad, but Gypsy got to me and took me to the Barn, where some people were casting shield spells and stuff. I felt bad for leaving Kas, but, I mean, I'd only had one week of lessons, what was I supposed to do? After that, things were quiet again. I'm hoping that the trend continues. I don't really want a repeat. It was horrifying. I'll stick to my books, thanks.
I enjoyreading, obviously, but I also like to write. And I enjoy learning new things, by whatever means, and I like watching Muggle TV with my dad almost as much as I do reading Muggle books. I also love rainy days, they’re the best for reading scary stories, which are my favorite.
I despisethe dark (can’t read in it!), stories with uncreative or predictable endings, people who are uncreative or predictable, things that are distracting or disruptive, and my grandparents. No, I’m not going to lie about it. I hate them. They’re horrible.
I'm afraid ofthe dark. Okay, I admit it, I don’t just hate it because I can’t read in it. I’m afraid of it. Yes, the kid who loves horror movies and books is afraid of the dark. You would be to if you watched those movies and read those books.
My strengths arethat I can step outside of a situation to see it clearly, and that I am a fast learner.
My flaws arethat I can be a bit preachy and might be a bit full of myself at times.
My wand is aDogwood with Fox Fur, 9 and 3/4 inches, supple and smooth.
My pet isa Brown Wood Owl, named Edgar, after Edgar Allen Poe.
