A Muggle At Hogwarts

"You think he'll be okay?" Harry asked.
"Dumbledore will make sure he's okay," Hermione said confidently.
"You can bet your life they'll try something though," Ron pointed out. "I saw one of them actually stroking his wand."
"He'll be fine," Harry said. "Like Hermione said, Dumdledore'll look after him. And he didn't exactly seem scared. Did you see him swagger right over? Swagger! He's not scared, but he is arrogant."
"Harry did you hear what Dumdldore said?!" Ron exclaimed. "He's got a bloody right to be arrogant. Killed three Death Eaters, fatally wounded two. If I were him, I'd be arrogant! He'll have no problem with a bunch of Death Eater wannabes."
"I don't know," Hermione said thoughtfully, staring over at the Slyverin table. Or more precicly, at Alex. "It could all just be an act. I mean, think about it. His father is in hospital, he might even die. Can you even imagine it? He's sitting at home with his father one night, and suddenly Death Eaters burst in shouting curses, trying to kill them! He must have been terrified. He wouldn't have known what was happening, and then suddenly his father's dying in his arms!"
Harry felt a lump forming in his throat. He looked over at Alex, feeling an overwhelming amount of compassion for the boy.
"Wow," Ron said quietly. "I never though.I mean, I just heard the part about the Death Eaters and thought he'd be fine. God, what it must have been like for him. If that had been my dad, I don't know what I'd do."
"And that's not all of it," Hermione pointed out. "Suddenly, not just his life is ruined, but his intire world! It must be like everything he knew was a lie. Everything he thought was just stories is real.
Suddenly he's thrust into a world with creatures that he was brought up to believe were just fairytales. His very reality is shattered. He finds out that there are things in this world that he thought could only get you in your nightmares.
And that there are people, like you-know-who, who can get him, and he can't do a thing about it. He can't stand up to the things that we can. We've got magic to help us. What's he got?"
"He'll never be able to lead a normal life will he?" Harry said. "He'll never fit in our world. He won't even fit in the muggle world because of what he knows. Even if he is allowed to go back, we'll always be watching him. And what'll happen when he tries to tell other muggles?"
"You really think he'll try to tell them about us?" Ron asked.
"If you were him, wouldn't you do the same?" Hermione asked. "You wouldn't just let the people you love get slaughtered like animals if you thought there was even a slight chance you could do something about it would you? You'd try to warn them, prepare them."
"Yeah, I guess I would," Ron said, looking at Alex. "I really hope he'll be okay."
There was a scream at the Slyverin table.
