Today was the day! The moment I’ve been waiting for! My heart was racing as I dashed toward the Slytherin table, my dark brown curls bouncing wildly with every step. My fringe kept tickling my eyelashes, but I didn’t care—I was too excited to even notice properly. Was this real life? Someone pinch me!
The Great Hall was even more magical than I imagined. The floating candles, the enchanted ceiling, the buzz of chatter—it was like stepping into a dream. But this wasn’t a dream. This was my fresh start, my chance to be the best version of myself.That being said, I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. Trusting people has never been easy for me. Family drama has a way of making you put up walls, you know? But something about this place felt different. I told myself, *Periwinkle, this is the beginning of something amazing. Stay positive!*
When I reached the Slytherin table, I froze for a moment. There were students everywhere—laughing, chatting, eating—but I didn’t know a single soul yet. Where should I sit? What if I picked the wrong spot? My mind raced as I scanned the sea of green-and-silver ties. But then I reminded myself: this is where I belong. This is my house, my people. I took a deep breath and decided to just go for it. After all, every friendship starts with a simple hello, right?
As she slid into her seat, Peri paused for a moment, taking it all in—the long rows of students, the floating candles, and the enchanted ceiling mimicking the stormy skies outside. Then, with a deep breath and a bright smile, she chirped out a cheerful "HELLO!" Her greeting wasn’t loud, but her soft scottish accent carried a warmly along the table.
Sometimes, it’s the smallest gestures—a friendly hello, a genuine smile—that make Hogwarts feel like home. And today, Peri’s simple act did just that.
