While Harry is busy surviving his Aunt's torture, unaware of another world of Wizards and Witches, Hogwarts educated thousands of Wizards n Witches every year even before Harry!
Raman Kumar Bhalla, was one of them.. a proud Gryffindor!
The first time, he got to know about his magical abilities in a very funny way! He was already known to his anger even as a kid. His family first got afraid to death, when he made Ashok blownup like a balloon out of anger! Even Raman himself got afraid seeing this consequence, but when he got the admission for Hogwarts School of Witchcrafts n Wizardry just for his magic abilities, his happiness had no bounds :) Bhallas also not so positive their son turned out to be a wizard.. but when one of the Hogwarts lecturer personally came and explained that it is required to control his unexpected magical performances which often result in a harmful way to normal people, they had to agree as it is just like sending him to Residential Education, n he will come to them in every Summer!
When he joined Hogwarts, he was so afraid whether he may get into Slytherin, the house which got most hatred because of its cunning nature...but the singing hat threw him into Gryffindor house, understanding his courage levels! Soon after joining Hogwarts, he found his love lies in Quidditch, he is one of the best seekers Hogwarts Gryffindor house got!
He is a charmer not only in his fellow Gryffindors, but also in other houses...he got a fandom for his bravery n Quidditch skills. But he is not much into girls, no one knows the reason, but he always been so khadus to all girls, whoever try to talk to him.

That is his 5th year for Raman in Hogwarts, and he just turned 15! He is also the prefect now!
Its November, and the Quidditch season began in Hogwarts. They are now playing their second Quidditch match for the year, where opposite are Smart RavenClaws! Raman was quite fast in field as usual, searching for the golden snitch with his razor sharp eyes. The very moment he saw the golden snitch, his eyes fell on that beautiful girl who sat there in viewers place, and cheering up for his opposite team! His breath stopped for a moment when his eyes just met her's! Suddenly he felt angry on himself, for wasting his 15 years without meeting this one! He felt irritated over the golden snitch which is moving right infront of his eyes, and now appearing like a baby-mosquito which is constantly disturbing his view!! Instead of holding catch of snitch, he just tried to shoo away that, which is blocking his view from that beautiful face! Hence Not only he missed the snitch, but also been knocked off the broom by a bludger!😕
That is the time, the seeker of RavenClaws got hold of snitch and Gryffindors lost the game. Seeing her cheered up for other seeker, Raman's stomach grumbled with jealous while he was carried out on a strecter to the Hospital wing! He himself not even able to move his finger, but he cursed 'Petrificus Totalus' to that guy atleast 100times in his mind, who just got the cheer ups from her!! While the other team members and Gryffindor supporters started worrying whether anyone confounded their seeker, Raman started worrying about the two emotions, that sweet disturbance in his heart and the jealous...which he experienced since morning and were too alien to him till now! While Madam Pomfrey treated his fractures and handed him a mug with hotchacolate medicine, he started wondering who that girl is, who just made him fallen not only out of his broom but also out of his love for Quidditch!
Next Morning..
It's the feast time, Raman and his friends just entered the hall. While others are trying to inquire how he is, his lips are answering their questions but his eyes automatically got busy in searching around, to have a glimpse of that beautiful face again and his thoughts...as usual busy in contemplating and questioning himself, why he is searching for he when he doesn't even know her!
His friends noticed his absence of mind on matter, and hunt for someone in the crowd didn't leave the chance to tease him today. After all they get opportunity to tease their strict prefect once in a bluemoon!!
"Someone is searching for 'someone' else!"😃 Asked one to which other replied
"Might have lost 'something' somewhere..😉"
Another continued "Might have lost' or might have gained'😛 ..."
When they got an angry glare from RKB, Second one covered "I am just saying you might have lost your wand somewhere..." and started concentrating on breakfast suppressing the chuckle .
"Ahhh! Nothing like that yar, I was just checking to make sure everyone came to breakfast!!" Replied Raman the most useless reason to escape, and diverted them into some other topic knowing very well they will not let him live in peace if he gets caught now searching for her!
***
After few unsuccessful attempts of stealing glances on every other girl in all houses, he started wondering if she is from Slytherin...! But luck is in his pocket! Finally he found her one day in the same feast time!! Sitting there with other Ravenclaws and giggling over some joke along with her friends. When her eyes met his, even its just a fraction of seconds, His breath stopped again and his heart started beating faster than ever! He started wondering, if this scenario continues he will be dead before he even talk to her. But at this minute, if anyone asks what s his favorite music, he would say it's the music that was hidden in her laughter, and getting lost in her thoughts is his favorite game.
...to be continued!
