Wool's Orphanage,30 June 1963

'Another lucky bastard' A black-haired boy was looking calmly at the retreating silhouette of 2 adults and a child from an old cracked window of his room. One can see a slight hint of jealousy in his eyes, When he was younger he craved for a Family, He hoped that one day someone will take him to a place that he can call home. But as the time went by, that hope began to fade away and despair started to take its place and by the time he was 11, the hope of him getting adopted was lost completely, As there were zero chances of him getting adopted at his current age.

As he was immersed in his own thoughts he suddenly heard a sharp voice from behind.

"Blair?, you got a visitor" The black-haired boy turned his slightly narrowed grey eyes towards the voice, There stood the old matron standing in the door way, looking at him indifferently while gesturing her hand towards a severe-looking Scottish women. The Scottish women was wearing a weird hat and a long black rob hiding her entire body. The Scottish women entered the room while hinting the matron to close the door to give them some privacy.

"Hello mister Bradley, My name is Minerva McGonagall and I work at the school called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft And Wizardry"

'Witchcraft?, Wizardry? Is this some kind of a joke'

He tried so hard not to sneer at her. Anyone would have the same reaction to her words. As if she knew what he was thinking, she took out a 13 inch long black wooden stick and waved it towards an old dusty book which was placed on the table, The book suddenly turned into a golden goblet. Blair's eyes widened a little as he looked at the golden goblet in disbelief. Right now he was doubting his own eyes. it's not every day you get to see a book turning into a goblet.

"What trick is this" he unintentionally mumbled to himself.

"I assure you, there was no tricks involved. Magic is real and today I have come to offer you a place in my school.....your school if you would like to come."

Tearing his eyes away from the goblet he asked hesitantly, There was also a hint of hope in his cold voice. "can I really do this... turning a book into a Golden Goblet?"

"Of course you can do this, this is just the tip of the iceberg, with magic there are limitless possibilities. We teach students not only to use magic But also to control it."Professor McGonagall said indifferently while handing him a letter.

"If you agree to attend Hogwarts then today we are going to visit Diagon Alley to get you your school supplies," said the Scottish women while changing the cup back to its original form before putting his wand away.

After hearing about getting school supplies A realisation dawned over him as his fist tighten a bit.

"But Professor I don't have money to buy school supplies."

Other 11-year-olds may not have to worry about things like this because their parents are there to manage everything for them, He was nothing but a pathetic, helpless orphan who was abandoned by his parents at the mere age of one. The stern gazes looking at him soften a little bit, But Blair was too busy cursing his parents to notice it.

"Hogwarts provides scholarships to the students who have similar circumstances as yourself, So you don't have to worry about it." She said calmly while extending her right hand towards him. "So if you are willing to attend the school, just grab my hand"

Blair confusingly raised his hand towards her, He didn't know what else to do in this type of situation. As soon as their hand made contact with each other, A suction like feeling embraced him and the world began to spin around.
