Torren Travers was like any other wizard, 11 years old, with a new wand from Olivander's, on the Hogwarts Express headed to his first day of school. After settling in and having to deal with a nosy girl asking about a toad, he opened up a book to read on the journey.
When the train arrived, Torren got of the train, knowing his belongings would be placed in his room. He followed the giant down to the lake and got in a boat to make his way across with the other students.
Professor McGonagall ushered them into the hall, that nosy girl from before commenting on the candles and the ceiling. When they'd gathered up front, Names were called in alphabetical order. A slight hush as Torren, and everyone realized that one of the students was none other than Harry Potter. Almost a hat stall, the famous wizard was placed in Gryffindor. It was Torren's turn soon enough, and a short debate over Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff hashed out in his mind, the hat deciding to land him in the latter.
The Headmaster Gave his speech, barring entry to the 3rd floor corridor, and sent the students off with their prefects. As they headed down to the commonroom The prefects explained the many rules at the school, curfews and the like. Torren found the speech exhausting but as it was needed information, he paid attention. after they arrived, the boy went up to the dormitories and found his bunk, sinking into the plush bedding and drifting off to a contented sleep.
