Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry; known school of young aspiring witches and wizards alike. One family in particular has attended the school for many a year. The Weasley family has attended the school for generations. The youngest of the Weasley generation was next in line to attend the school, his name was Ronald Weasley his younger sister Ginny Weasley was set to begin her time amongst the witches and wizards of Hogwarts next year along with another unique individual, who is known by the name, Raphael Psyches. Raphael lives among the muggle population of Little Whingent across from a loud family. He had never seen this family, nor had he ever met them. Why is this you ask? This is because Raphael was blind. He was born with murky white eyes, as a baby he showed great signs of magical talents. He was discovered by a gentle witch with black hair her eyes where blue, not just any blue but a gentle blue, like sapphire. She was a beautiful woman who took him from Little Whingent and placed him in the care of a woman with black hair and green eyes, like emeralds, she had a gentle smile.
"Watch over him, until I can return, upon his eleventh birthday he will receive a letter, I will raise him from then, okay? My old friend, it is his birthright." The green eyed woman smiled, "I understand my lady, just like before I will watch over him until the day you return." The blue eyed woman smiled down upon the baby, whose eyes where the mysterious milky white she'd adored so much. "Farewell my child, welcome to the Ravenclaw legacy." With that she seemed to vanish. The woman cradled the child and smiled It has been a decade since that day. "Raphael, won't you go and get the mail?" A boy, 11 years old, tall for his age, 4 foot 9 inches tall, his hair was white and his eyes where no longer the murky white they once were, a silver blue color a very rare color to say the least this particular shade of blue was exclusive to one family, his family. He was dressed in common clothes, white shirt and blue jeans, he had a belt with a special buckle a raven's talon, clutching a blue jewel a sapphire he thought. Reaching the mailbox he shooed away an owl. He grabbed the mail and came back inside placing the mail on the kitchen table handing it off to his mother as he sat down to eat breakfast, pancakes and sausage. "I got something strange mom, a letter from 'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry' is this really what you meant when you said I'd be going off to school?" The care taker nodded, "Yes, a very special school for very special people, people like you, child." He smiled and nodded, "Alright, but where do I go? And for how long?" the care taker smiled, "To Kings Cross Station You'll come across a place called 'the leaky cauldron' there you will meet a man by name of Tom, he's the bar man, speak to him and he will put you up in a room for the night, then you will be off to Hogwarts the next morning, now gather your things and I'll go with you." He nodded quickly and made his way up stairs to his room. His room was medium in size compared to the rest of the house he had lived here for twelve years of his life, the care taker having been the closest thing to a mother he could remember. He did not have much as far as material possessions, he did however have the few things his mother had left him, a pair of white dragon-scale gloves and a belt to match. The care taker had told him there was more to this set but what remained of the set had most likely been lost for many years more than likely never to be found again. Content with his decision to take only a few things he packed a suit case full of only necessary things before returning to the care taker. She smiled at him, "Ready to go to the Leaky Cauldron?" Raphael gave a slight nod, "Of course Madam Caretaker we may go now," And with that the two of them, the Caretaker and himself made their way to the one car he had grown to like, a light blue Ford Anglia.
Fastened in the car the two of them set off, the engine roaring into life only when she applied her touch. "I still don't understand how you can do that." Raphael stated as they pulled away from the house. "In time you will know, my child." He smiled and watched the scenery pass them by as they drove toward their destination. Raphael thought surely the car ride would have taken longer than it did, because it seemed like he blinked and they were out front of The Leakey Cauldron, when he looked around he then did notice that they were in fact outside. "Raphael? Surprised?" The Caretaker asked as she exited her vehicle. "This is amazing, how come I've never seen such a place in London before, and I don't think I've never seen such an odd, yet intriguing place of business." The caretaker smiled, "Well come along then, we mustn't stray else you may get lost, and it's very bad to get lost in this area." She offered her hand to him and, after he took it they made their way inside and the first one to see them was the bar man, Tom, "The usual Madam Caretaker?" She shook her head, "Not tonight Tom, Hogwarts business, young Master Psyches is set to join the ranks in a few nights time, remember I sent Ivanna with a letter." Tom shuffled behind the bar for a few moments and then smiled, "Yes now I remember you reserved his room a few weeks ago, I will have his things brought up immediately." She smiled and led Raphael to the room he had been given. "This is where you will be staying for the next few days, will you be able to get along by yourself?" Raphael nodded, "I'll be fine Caretaker, I won't stray beyond Diagon Alley; Are you sure you'll be okay back home?"
She gave a nod, I will be fine, child, you've been independently growing since your fifth birthday, you'll be fine on your own for a few days and I will be just the same, safe and sound back home in the manor, just like always, besides a Caretaker's job is never truly over now is it?" Raphael smiled, nodding "Yes ma'am, I'll see you during the holidays won't I?" He asked as he placed his bags at the foot of the bed he was to sleep on. "Well I suppose this is it then, you head for home now?" She smiled and hugged him, "Yes, I'll see you again on platform Nine and Three Quarters the day you are due to board the Hogwarts Express, understood?" Raphael gave a nod, "I understand." And with that she exited his room. He followed after her quickly but when he opened the door the Caretaker was gone.
Raphael had mixed feelings about going to such a new area. Yes he read books about his life's new destination but nothing would prepare him for the adventure of a life time. A life with new friends, the Legend of the Founders, His Legacy!
