“I know a lot who aren’t.”

"No. But a fair few are definite pricks." Xavier snorts angrily.

"I mean, there are pricks in every house. The Gryffindors are way overconfident, some of the Ravenclaws always flaunt their test scores, Slytherin always gets a bad rep, and I've even met some mean Hufflepuffs! And Hufflepuff has the 'nice guy' stereotype."

Xavier laughs, "I know the feeling. We get a bad rep just because all the bad wizards seem to come from our house. An interesting fact though, is that the great Merlin himself came from our house." He says shaking his head.

"Yeah, and not all Gryffindors are good! I mean, He Who Must Not Be Named's right hand man, Peter Pettigrew, was a Gryffindor!"

"Yep." Xavier nods, sighing softly, "You sure know a lot about hogwarts, kid."

"I read up on it the week before I came. I didn't want to come completely uninformed!"

"That's smart. My family's pureblood, so I've known about hogwarts since I was a kid." Xavier mutters.

"Oh. I'm muggle born, so I was shocked when I found out that I'd be coming here. I mean, excited of course, just really surprised."

He nods, "That's expected."

"Should I get an owl at some point to send letters to my parents? Do mailmen not come here to deliver mail the normal way?"

"Owls. That's what we wizards use." He says, chuckling a bit.

"But why? Is it more efficient somehow?"

“This kid is adorable,” Skye said, talking about Nolan, she turned to Xavier, “can we keep him?”

Nolan's face flushed a bit, and he looked away. I should have done more research on this…

Xavier nods, "Kid, it's official. We're now your hogwarts guardians." he says ceremoniously.

"What?! That's a thing? I must've missed that chapter in the book!" He grabbed a book from his bedside table and skimmed the table of contents.

“We need to make a pledge or something.”

"Yeah, no kidding. And kid. When you go to hogwarts, families are made. Since you're younger than both of use, we take you under our wing." Xavier explains.

“This kid is adorable.”

"Does that mean I have to stay in the Slytherin or Ravenclaw common room? What chapter are hogwarts guardians in? I can't find anything in this book…"

"They're not in the book, silly. And you stay in the hufflepuff, relax." Xavier chuckles.

"Oh…" He lay the book aside. "What are they in, then? I don't know anything about them."

"It's something the students came up with." He says with a gentle laugh. "You're not going to find it in a book."

"Well, what do you know about it then? I've never heart of hogwarts guardians."
