She helped open his eyes to more possibilities that Hogwarts had to offer. Being from a small, rural, coastal community, Xerxes didn’t have as many opportunities. Even though very much hidden in the rural countryside, Hogwarts and nearby community functioned more like a large city.<br/><br/>“Astronomy…” Moray described astronomy as both a science and almost magical. “S…sounds amazing.”<br/><br/>“I live in Bowness-on-Solway. It…it’s a small town on the edge of the Irish Sea at one end of Ha…Hadrian’s Wall.” Xerxes was proud of his small town. It wasn’t much, but the tides were a feat to experience – rolling in and out each day and night.<br/><br/>“Weaknesses?” Xerxes had to think. “I…I’m not sure. I would say maybe wanting to learn everything I can.” It was a pathetic answer, but Xerxes couldn’t think of much else. “Maybe water too…”<br/><br/>“What are the rooms like in Slytherin?” Xerxes asked. “I’ve only read about them.”<br/>
