Raiden peered out onto the grounds of the Nott Estate, from the balcony of his own room. He was taking leave from skimming through a few of his new textbooks, that his mother had popped down to Diagon Alley to get the day before. It was a rather large pile comparatively to the previous year’s books. It was something that he had expected of course, since this happened to be his final year at Hogwarts, his seventh year, his N.E.W.T year. When the letters for his sister and himself had arrived from Hogwarts, Raiden had expected his own to hold something more. He had expected the normal letter advising him of the items he was required to bring for his different subjects; textbooks he needed; special wear for special events, to be accompanied by a letter advising him that he had been named Head Boy. That letter had not accompanied the normal school letter and he was reminded briefly of the emotions he had felt back in the beginning of his fifth year, when Scorpius had been named prefect for Slytherin instead of him.

Those feelings of worthlessness, of being inadequate, of jealousy for whoever had been named Head Boy had lasted for a brief moment. It had faded as quickly as it had come. As soon as Raiden started feeling pity for himself he reminded himself that it was more than likely that someone close to the Potter/Weasley family would be named Head Boy if not Albus Potter himself, or even Scorpius, since he had become so chummy with them. Reason being that their dear friend Neville Longbottom happened to be the Headmaster. Raiden considered it and eventually came to his own belief that if any of the favourites or those that belonged to the clan had to be named Head Boy, he would prefer that it was the Headmaster’s son. For a Longbottom and family friend of the Weasleys and Potters he at least was one who could actually do justice to the position. He didn’t know the boy that well, but to Raiden it seemed that Henry, yes he was sure Headmaster Longbottom’s son was called Henry, seemed to approach things without bias and it seemed he had a descent head on his shoulders as well, along with other things.

Raiden took a deep breadth and then spun around to face his comparatively large room. His new textbooks sat open calling to him, but his mind suddenly thought of something. The image that had popped up in his head was that of his sister, Elisabeth, or Elle. She was a year younger than him and before Raiden had started his Hogwarts life so many years ago, they had been the closest of friends. He adored her still of course, she was blood, but they had drifted a part. Raiden wasn’t the over protective brother type, mostly because he knew Elle was quite capable of looking after herself. Though they happened to be quite different on some fronts, certain aspects of their personality happened to be quite similar. It had been some time since they had sat down alone together and had a conversation with one another. With that thought in mind Raiden placed his hands in his pockets of his pants and made his way across his room to the door. Opening the door, Raiden turned and walked in the direction of his sister’s room. He was sure she was at home, he had heard movement earlier in the direction of her room and since her parents were not home it was more than likely she had been the one making the noise.

Arriving at the door of his sister’s bedroom, he pulled his right hand out of his pocket and tapped the door smartly with the knuckles of his hand. He would wait to be given permission to enter before he did as such.
