Sometimes it feels like the whole wide world has made itsself my enemy.
But I will stand on my own two feet && raise my head.

Kennedy Michael Graves looked at the brown parchement filled with his terrible writing. He hadn't been sorted into Slytherin. Le Gasp! His mother had told him to write her whenever he got sorted. It was after his sorting and he had been sorted into Mihael. What would his parents do? Disown him? Would they really disown their son? He was the first Graves or Decour to not be in the Slytherin house.
He chewed on his bottom lip as he thought about what his parents would say and think. They'd probably call him worthless or a beast. Could he help it that he got into Mihael. The Sorting Hat had said Mihael he didn't say, 'Hey put me in Mihael so my parents will hate me'. Even though his parents weren't his heros or his biggest fans Kennedy didn't want them to abandon him. They were still family; he didn't know anyone else.
Kennedy walked into the Owlry. The place smelled terrible and the look of the place didn't look any better. He jumped when an owl flapped their wings. Kenney was scared of owls even though he had one named Emmett. That was the only owl he liked but didn't like it at all when Emmett flapped his wings.
"Emmett," he called. Emmett and Kennedy had been on good conditions lately. The Hawk Owl hadn't tried to bite off Kennedy's digets...yet. Kennedy Michael took a deep breath and called his owl's name again. "Emmett," he called very softly.
The newly proclaimed Mihael heard a familiar hoot and walked over to where it seemed to have come from. "Hey Emmett," he smiled somewhat as he saw his owl perched next to a couple of owls. "Got yourself some friends I see. Well go give this to Mum and Dad. If you just happen to loose the letter then that's okay. I really don't want them to read it but if I don't send them a letter soon then they'll keep hounding me till I write them."
Before he would give Emmett the letter he opened it up and make sure everything was correct.
Dear Mum && Dad,
How is everything back home? How is Grandma? Everything at Hogwarts is fine. There are a lot of people here. Everyone avoids me it seems. Probably because I'm new or something. I'm not too worried about it. I signed up for my classes too. For now I'm just going to take the Mandatory classes. I don't want to over load myself right now.
The train ride was okay. It was quite bumpy and that didn't feel so well. I got sorted this afternoon. They still use that Sorting Hat thing. It kept talking and muttering to itsself. Quite creepy having that thing on my head.
I got sorted into Mihael. I'm sorry. It's not my fault. The Sorting Hat said I didn't belong in that house at all. Then he said Mihael and they took the hat off of me and gave me the password to the Mihael house. I'm really sorry. I already asked them if I could change and they said no.
Kennedy Michael
That's as good as it's going to get[/i], he thought to himself. A sigh came from his lips and he gave Emmett the letter. Kennedy hoped that Emmett would somehow drop the letter in the ocean or something. He was too terrified of his parents and their reactions.
Emmett spread his wings and Kenney moved back. It still terrified him. Would he ever get used to that? Emmett flew off and out to the horizon. Kennedy walked over to the window and watched the owl fly away back home.[/font][/size]
