The unofficial guide to surviving Hogwarts(if your a muggle)

by 1n1k0

Every story has side characters, right? Well, this is mine. You'll get a glimpse of Hogwarts through the eyes of someone just trying to make it through the year. It may not be as exciting as what happens to you-know-who, but I'm just a normal student trying to survive.

Alright, if you're reading this, I'm going to assume you've somehow ended up at Hogwarts—probably because some bloody owl finally delivered your letter (about time, right?), Either way, congratulations, or, you know, commiserations. Welcome to Hogwarts. Hold on tight, because this place is a proper madhouse.

Now, I'm not saying I'm some sort of expert—though I've been here long enough to have figured out a few things. This isn't some twee little pamphlet they hand you when you arrive (spoiler: they don't even bother giving you one). This here is your guide to surviving the first few days without making a total idiot of yourself (trust me, there are plenty of opportunities for that, I should know I'm experiencing it firsthand so you're learning from my mistakes).

Let's be real: magic is great and all, but so are things like common sense. And you'll need loads of that. So, tuck this guide somewhere safe, and get ready for some solid tips. I'm talking spells, wizarding etiquette, and how to avoid getting flattened by those bloody moving staircases (honestly, they'll try to eat you. No joke).

And remember, if you want to get through the year without looking like a total prat, you'll want to keep this guide close. It's not official or anything—just a little something I've whipped up, but it's as close as you'll get to a proper survival manual around here.

Trust me, this little book is about to become your best mate.
