Student's full name: DEAN MICHAEL THOMAS
I'm Dean Thomas, and I've just had the shock of my life finding out that I'm a wizard! I never even believed magic existed, those magicians you see at parties are all mirrors and trickery... but me, a real wizard?! No one in my family is a wizard, or a witch for that matter, but apparently it's quite common for magical children to be born to non-magical parents. It means I'm a Muggle-born. It was quite a shock for my parents, and my brothers too. I'm the middle child, Jason's thirteen and Adam is nine.
I don't really know a lot about the magic world. We went to a place called Diagon Alley to get my school stuff, it was really cool! I've started reading some of my books to get and idea of what to expect. Transfiguration sounds great, but I can't wait to get on a broom stick! I've read about a game called Quidditch, it sounds as though it's the magic replacement for football, although why anyone would want to replace it is beyond me. Football is my favourite sport. I play it all the time. I was on my primary school team my position is striker. I scored a hat trick in the competition for the schools in our area; we won the trophy that year. My favourite team is West Ham, I hope I can find some other Muggle-born who understands football, or I don't know how I'll cope.
It's quite scary, really, starting a new school where I don't know anyone, or anything about the subjects I'll be studying. I'm telling my friends that I've been accepted into a boarding school, but they're having difficulty believing it as I'm not the most academic of people, and Jason's gone to the local comprehensive. It's a shame I have to leave my friends behind, but I'll see them in the school holidays, and in all fairness, how many kids like me get the chance to do real magic?
I wonder what the school will be like. One of my books said it's a huge enchanted castle, but I've got no idea what to expect. Apparently there's a giant squid in the lake there... that would be so cool. I wonder if I'll see any dragons? Adam would be so jealous.
Anyway, what I'm looking forward to is actually doing some magic, and finding out what this Quidditch game is really like. It should be fun!
