Lily sat at an empty part of the table, not knowing who everyone was or whether she would fit in. Those thoughts from the platform and the early train ride were back. 'What if I don't meet anyone and actually make friends. I hate being shy and unsure. But wasn't that why the hat put me into ravenclaw?' She though. Lily looked around at the people talking and having a good time and all she wished was to get to know someone and have friends like everyone else. It didn't help being muggleborn, because Lily knew only what she had read in Hogwarts, A History about the school and magic all together. 'If only someone would get to know me, and I could get to know them and feel more comfortable here'
