Picture by sena at Deviant ArtZarek Xavior Yeran was born to Chastity and Jared Yeran, in a small village near Little Hangleton. Being the only non-Slytherin oriented family in the entire village, Zarek was never allowed to meet many people, or have many friends. He was forced to stay inside during most of his early-childhood days, and chose to spend his free time reading or listening to stories about wizarding culture. Nothing remarkably interesting ever really happened to Zarek or his family, but a week after his 6th birthday, Zarek's father was attacked by one of the other wizards in the area. After a long duel that Zarek witnessed, his father emerged victorious, stunning his opponent and leaving him on his doorstep. Two days later, Zarek's family moved to a larger village with many of his parent's old school friends. Zarek's life quickly changed soon thereafter, and he was allowed to play with his parent's friends children as much as he wanted, and could wander down the streets without having dark looks cast in his direction. Zarek kept a few of his friends over the years, but as friends often do, they drifted apart around age 10. When he would complain to his parents about how all his friends began ignoring him, and how he had nobody to play with, they would tell him that it was all for the best, and he would have all the friends he could possibly want soon. Confused, Zarek would always push them for more information, but would never receive any. Finally, on his 11th birthday, Zarek understood. He received a note from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, explaining to him that he was accepted to the school. A list of supplies and directions for getting to the school were enclosed within the letter. His parents never looked so happy as they congratulated him on making it into the school, and explained all about Hogwarts and the people he would meet, other wizards. The next day, they showed him how to work Floo-Powder properly, and took him to Diagon-Alley to get all the supplies he would need for the upcoming year. Finally, on September 11th, he was taken to the station and boarded the Hogwart's express, a train that would take him to the school.
Train Ride and Sorting
Zarek's train-ride was an eventful experience. He sat with a girl named Charisse Banning and a boy named Gerrard Rayne, and a compartment full of Slytherin's all the way to the school. Charisse and Gerrard turned out to be very friendly and Zarek talked with them the whole way to school, and rode with Gerrard on a boat across the lake and to his sorting. The sorting was comforting in a strange sense. Zarek felt more comfortable with the other first years than he did with the rest of the school, and was truly thrilled when he and Gerrard were both pronounced to be in Gryffindor. Charisse, certain that she would be made a Slytherin, was much to her disappointment, sorted into Hufflepuff. After the sorting and the fabulous meal that followed, Gerrard and Zarek followed the prefects and the other older Gryffindor to their common room. Zarek and Gerrard were shown to their room, in one of the highest towers in the school, directly across from Hufflepuff's tower. Thankful for the opportunity to relax and sleep after the exhausting day, Zarek quickly drifted into a deep slumber, eager to begin his first year at Hogwarts.
