You stand before the window of the Hogwarts Express for the first time, watching steam drift across Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. In your hand is a brand-new wand; in your pocket, only 70 Galleons—your entire fortune in the wizarding world. The Sorting Hat whispers above you, and hundreds of eyes fix on you in the Great Hall. You hear Draco Malfoy snicker behind you, and you see Harry Potter nervously gripping his fork. You know that from this moment on, you must find your path between pure-blood arrogance, the wariness of Muggle-borns, and the scrutinizing gaze of the professors.
