Rowen softly frowned, he wished that he was as well liked as Cedric. He was what everyone wanted to be and what everyone looked up to. His eyes went downcast as he looked to the board where the teacher was. Where he was writing what there first lesson would be, something called Wingardium Leviosa. Rowen got out his fountain ink pen, black ink and paper as he started to write down the charm. As he finished the instructor was explaining how to use the spell.
”First, you must take your wand in your dominant hand, whether it be right or left, and then you gently swish and flick your wand and say the charm, Wingardium Leviosa.” and as he said that the feather in front of him started to gently levitate into the air. The whole of kjids were in awe as they saw the feather lift up, but Rowen’s meek voice broke out from the silence that was deafening the room. As they turned to see what was happening Rowen’s feather was in the air.
The Raevnclaws cheered, the girl from earlier, whose name is Sarah Bitherby, she came over to him smiling and cheering him on. But, Rowen was a bit unresponsive as he was uncomfortable around her.

Rowen could see how the girl was being coy with Cedric, asking him to help her. He eyes slightly narrowed as he felt his stomach turn to knots. His feather slowly drifted back down to his desk where he sat down as decided it was best to ignore it, but his eyes couldn’t help but see his best and only friend not pay attention to him. He sighed and felt his heart sink to the bottom of his rib cage as his hand scribbled down some notes.
The teacher tried to quiet down the kid as they eventually did sitting down as he marveled at how well the children were already doing. The bell rang signaling the children to leave. At Hogwarts the classes were not all one day as one would expect, it was set up similarly like a college where students would have certain classes for however long. Rowen stood somberly and gathered his things as he went to his house common room.
As he walked others were talking about this or that, mainly Cedric. He seemed to be quite the celebrity. But, why wouldn’t he be? Charming, smart, handsome; everything anyone could want in a best friend and more, so unlike Rowen who was shy, introverted and not attractive. Once, Rowen reached his house common room entrance, the door stood there barren with no knob or handle only a bronzed eagle shaped knocker which proposed this question; ”What is the only creature to have four legs in the morning, two legs during the afternoon and three legs during the evening?” Rowen thought for a minute and then another.
He looked up at the picture and said, ”A centaur?”
The picture responded, ”You are incorrect, your entrance is not allowed.” Rowen was about to protest but the picture became blank faced again, not willing to take anymore answers from him. He would have to wait until another Ravenclaw could figure out the riddle. So Rowen decided it would be best to sit, not knowing how long it would take another to show up.
Thirty minutes went by then another; time seemed to take forever until Brendan appeared around the corner walking to the same area where Rowen was. The older Ravenclaw smiled and squatted down to his level. ”You must have gotten the riddle wrong, let me help.” he said standing as the picture looked at him proposing the same question; ”What is the only creature to have four legs in the morning, two legs during the afternoon and three legs during the evening?”
Brendan thought for a moment and then smiled widely with the answer. ”It is man, for when we are young we must crawl and then when we grow older we learn to walk and then when we are older still we must use a cane.” The picture nodded softly, the frame moving forward and letting the two enter. Rowen couldn’t stop thanking Brendan twice now he had helped him, Brendan was a true friend to Rowen and it made his heart glow when the other would be so nice to him.
