Looking back at the memories
Flashback
The year was 2012, September 1st, Edward Nolan Mystic, a young wizard from a long line family of Wizards and Witches, had just arrived at Diagon Alley with his parents & sister to gather his wizard equipment after receiving his Hogwarts acceptance letter the day before, he first went to get his wand from Ollivander's, which was made from Phoenix Feather core and Alder wood, 13 inches and slightly springy flexibility, then went to gather his books from Flourish and Blotts, after that, getting his robe from Madam Malkin's, after acquiring his equipment, Edward finally arrives at Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross Station, where his family would say their goodbyes to their son's departure.
"Goodbye sweetheart, I want you to be the best wizard you can be out there at Hogwarts" Says his mother.
"Father, Mother, which house do you think I'll fit into?" Asks Edward.
"Doesn't matter son, what matters is what house would YOU like to be sorted into, but remember, whatever house you will be sorted into, never forget, it doesn't change the fact that you will be a great wizard, just like I was back in the day" Says Nolan jokingly, to which Edward's mother smacks him in the shoulder gently.
"Dear please, we are trying to teach Edward to be selfless, not to be so full of himself, like someone we know" Says his mother, giggling.
"Goodbye Edward, I'll miss you" Said his younger sister, hugging him "Oh I'll miss you too Rosie, but don't worry, one day when you're old enough, You'll go to Hogwarts too and we can be in the same house".
"All aboard! Train leaves immediately" It was time for Edward to go, he gave his family a hug and said his last farewells to them, after boarding the train as it was about to leave, he waved to his family, shedding a tear to see his family waving goodbye to him.
At the train, he would sit near a window looking at the scenery outside, later, two female students no older than Edward, sat in front of him "Oh I'm sorry" Said one girl "I thought these seats were free, we'll just move along".
"Oh no, I'm not expecting anyone, by all means, the seats are yours" Said Edward before the girls could leave "Oh thank you" Said the other girl.
Edward extended his hand to both girls "I'm Edward by the way, Edward Mystic" He said, to which the two young witches shook his hand "I'm Esther Runestone, this is my friend, Rian Starlove" "Pleasure to meet you, Edward" Said Esther & Rian.
"Pleasure's all mine" He smiled "Must be hard isn't it? One day, you're an ordinary child with your parents, the next, you find out you're a wizard and witch, and now we're off to learn how to become wizards and witches" Said Edward.
"It is indeed, you see, both me and Rian are half-blood, so we were really surprised when we found out" Said Esther "What about you, Edward?" Asked Rian.
"Oh me? Not really, I'm actually pure-blood, my family existed long before when Merlin was a wizard, or at least that's what my father told me, while Mother says her family dates back to Morgana the sorceress".
"Wow, really?! Then you must be a powerful wizard already!" Said Esther in amazement "Can you do tricks and spells?" Asked Rian.
"Not yet I can't, but here's what I can do, I can set things on fire when I get angry, observe" He says, taking a small piece of paper form his pocket, then opening the window next to him, his face suddenly changed from happy to angry, in a matter of moments, the paper was caught in flames and quickly turned to ash, out to the air it went from the window, Esther and Rian clapped at Edward's trick.
"Thank you, thank you" Said Edward, time passed as the three new friends talked and chatted along the journey until they reached Hogwarts castle, greeted by Rubeus Hagrid, climbed aboard the boats to the Castle, then entering the Great Hall inside, "Welcome Wizards and Witches all, to this year at Hogwarts" Said Headmistress Mcgonagall, after giving her speech to the students, it was time to sort the students to their houses, first it was Rian's turn.
"Ahh a brave girl I see, plenty of courage, the bravery to protect her friends and family form all sorts of danger, you will be well suited in...Gryffindor!" Shouted the sorting hat, Rian waved to both Edward and Esther, to which they both waved back, then went to sit with the other Gryffindor students.
"Esther Runestone" Said headmistress Mcgonagall, Esther sat and the sorting hat was placed on her head "Oh a girl who wishes to become something spectacular in the future, by any means necessary eh? Then you will be sorted into...Slytherin!" clapped Edward for his friend, then went to sit with her fellow Slytherin students.
"Edward Mystic" Finally, it was time for Edward Mystic to be sorted, he sat and had the sorting hat placed on his head "Well well well, what do we have here? Quite curious this boy is, I see courage and determination, and at the same time I see kindness and intelligence, but just where to put you?" Said the sorting hat "Put me in the house that will make me a great wizard" Said Edward, with a confident face and look, he didn't care what house he will be sorted into, as long as it makes him an extraordinary wizard when he grows up "Very well, you will be sorted to...Slytherin!" Edward smiled, Esther clapped, then went and sat next to his friend Esther.
Now it was time for each house to go to their common room, Edward, Esther and Rian, met one last time before they left to their common rooms.
"Congratulations to you both on making the same house, but if only we were all in the same house" Said Rian, a bit sad that she won't see her friends much "Rian, just because we're in different houses doesn't mean we won't be friends after this" Said Esther, patting Rian's shoulder, then Edward intervened "Besides, who says all Slytherins can't be friends with Gryffindor? No matter which house or place we are, we will be friends forever!" He says, finally, the three friends hugged and went to their common rooms
Present
The year is 2017, April 5, it has been 5 years since the three students met and became friends, now, all their minds and bodies have grown, Esther, Rian and Edward have become fine young wizards, with the same goals they had when they were young.
Edward was in the dueling stage, where he was seen practicing with his first and best friend Esther, a crowd of Slytherin students were cheering for both "Go Esther Go! Go Esther Go! Go Esther Go!" "Edward! Edward! Edward!".
"Hahaha, you are no match for the powers of the great Mystic Ed, the most powerful wizard that has ever lived!" Said Edward, acting as if he was an evil dark wizard, he pointed his wand at Esther and shouted "Stupefy!" And the spell was cast on Esther "Protego!" Her protective charm was successful against Edward's Stupefy spell "You'll never rule Hogwarts Evil Ed, I'll be the most powerful witch in all of the Wizarding World" It was a strong duel between the the two, both exchanging spells and blocking it, until Esther cast her spell "Flipendo!" Edward was knocked back and floating feet away to the ground.
"Surrender Edward" Said Esther, pointing her wand at Edward on the ground "Curses! Defeated by a witch weaker than me, how humiliating!" Said Edward, admitting defeat before Esther, with the crowd chanting her name, but at the same moment Esther was enjoying her victory, Edward quickly got up and shouted "Expeliarmus!" Just like that, Esther's wand was flown from her hand's to Edward's "Edward! That was cheating!" She said, a bit angry "Now now Esther, it's your fault, you should never turn your back on your opponent until you've made sure they are beaten" He explained, giving her wand back to her.
"I don't believe this, although you grew up, sometimes you behave like children" Said Rian, walking to check on her friends, she hugged Esther and Edward "Well, if you think you can do much better than her, then I dare you to, weakling!" Said Edward jokingly while making a fake evil voice, Rian rolled her eyes and smiled "Give it a rest Edward, if I wanted, I'd just transform into a lion and eat you" She replied, giggling.
"All right all right you two, we can continue this rivalry after we finish class" Said Esther, walking to class, with Edward and Rian behind her.
