"So, is it like a dried ring of peach? I really do love a fresh peach." Any food right now sounded good. What was the agenda for this evening, anyway?

He looked around, trying his best to follow conversation but also discover what, exactly, was going on.

Most of the pranks though. That wasn't fun.

"Thanks!" Big grin! Because thanks! Being welcomed actually felt pretty cool. Her older sister was right, your house WAS like a happy family. Hopefully at least. Because the blonde --as she flipped the untangled part of her hair over her shoulder-- was going to be spending a lot of time with these people, and if they didn't get along too well, it was going to be a loooong seven years. But so far it wasn't gonna be bad. She already met two people and was planning on meeting many more.

And by the way, the excitement has not worn off yet. Ophelia doubted it would ever wear off. Because, Hogwarts. Merlin, it was a magical school! How could you get tired of this place? She doubted that the seventh years even grew tired of this place. There were witches and wizards and magical feasts! And if what Newton told her, goblins and ghosts and magical beasts! And she got sorted into the house her brothers and sister got sorted into! Oh, the first night was already fabulous, including all of the people she met. Yay! Maybe her worry was something unwarranted. Because this was awesome. As long as something crazy didn't happen this year.

There are so many levers that do nothing, and bricks that don't open anything. He spent many nights looking like an idiot to random people walking by. One day he was sure he found the room of requirement, but when he glanced back at the wall, the door was gone. I guess he really didn't need the room.

"You should try finding the Room of Requirement, that's the fun thing to find."
