History: What's that? You want to know about me? Well, isn't that something! Sit down, and listen up. It may not be a long story, and it may not be very good, but it's my story, and really that's all that matters.
I don't know much about anything before I came around. All I know is that I was born on the Hogwarts grounds. I think it was about five years ago, now. Oh my, those were happy days. Didn't have to do anything but burrow and eat and burrow some more. This year everything changed. Well, maybe not everything... Nevermind, I'll continue. Anyway, the school year started off the same as always. Hogwarts goes from being all quiet and peaceful, and then BAM! Students are everywhere, screaming, running, trampling. It quiets down a bit while they're all up in the castle, doing whatever it is you humans do. Now, I'm pretty used to students coming out onto the grounds, but this one was different. She was small and quiet and orange. All I know, is that Bella-Dawn kept me after that. Now I live in the Ravenclaw dorms with her. She keeps me in a nice cage at night, and usually takes me with her whenever she goes out.

I've got to admit, it's a pretty nice set up.
