AN: So, this is my second fic, and I am going to try and make it the greatest fanfiction of all time, the Anti-My Immortal, so to speak. Enjoy it, and please review.
Many stories start with "Once Upon a Time," maybe this is because it's such a great way to start a story, I certainly think so. Others start by introducing people.
This one starts with a scarlet train, going to Hogwarts, it is known as the Hogwarts Express.
On this train, in a compartment, there is a boy at the young age of 14. This boy's name is Douglas Oswald McGuire, and he is the hero of this story.
If you were to see him, you definitely wouldn't think he deserved to be a hero. He's thin, pale, and covered in freckles, he has curly ginger hair that is just long enough to cover his ears, and his eyes are amber colored.
Now, we usually expect a hero to be in Gryffindor. They are brave and strong, like heroes usually are.
But Douglas is in Ravenclaw, where people are smart, and not all that brave and strong, in fact, they're quite neglected.
So why is Douglas the hero of this story, rather than, say, Nathan Harland, a tall, muscular Gryffindor with short black hair, brown eyes and a smile that brings most people attracted to men flying towards him?
It's quite simple.
Nathan is an idiot who bullies people to get his way, which is easy to do for him, as he is quite popular as Gryffindor's Keeper.
Meanwhile, Douglas is shy, nice, and intelligent, though not popular in anyway.
That is why this story is about Douglas, and not Nathan, because of intelligence, which is always important.
AN: So, that was chapter 1, it wasn't very exciting, and there wasn't any dialogue, but I assure you that future chapters will have plenty of both of those things. And once again, please review!
