Yesterday had passed in a blur. There was the train journey, the boat ride, the march upto the castle, the sorting and the feast.
Today was the first day at school. And he was already bored. ...
He was always a bright kid and studying came easily to him. He was doing magic for as long as he could remember, that he did not find it amusing anymore. He had always been surrounded by magical folks, and he did not find anything about magic remotely surprising. As he walked listlessly through the long corridor, he wondered how he would get through the next seven years. He could see the months and years stretching before him like a long prison sentence of boredom….
“Hey, watch out!” He had nearly walked into another child who was coming in the opposite direction. “Sorry. Did not see you,” he grinned sheepishly. “Hey, you new here too?” asked the other boy, pushing back the shocking black hair which was falling all over his eyes. Before he could reply, the new boy stretched out his hand in introduction. “Hi, I am James.”
