96. Socks

Carl sat down on his four-poster bed with a flomp. It was his first night at Hogwarts and he was amazed by everything that had happened in the past 12 hours – walking through a wall and onto Platform 9 3/4, riding the Hogwarts Express and meeting a hag, getting Sorted into Hufflpuff, and of course, the food fight that followed.

It was all exciting, but Carl was glad to be in his new Dormitory. The soft glow from the lamps gave a cozy feeling of warmth. He took out his favorite wool socks and put them on. He was home!
