BEGINNING OF YEAR 6

I get on the train for another mediocre year at Hogwarts. As I sat alone on the train, I begin to look back on how far I've come and how much I've grown since I started school at Hogwarts. I begin to stare out the window and watch the rain pour, trying to recall all the details of my first night becoming a student at this world renowned school of magic.

My family moved to England from the US when I was young, so I really grew up in the UK even tho by technicality I'm American. Growing up I never really had friends, people always had some preconceived idea of who I was before the ever spoke to me.

Transferring to Hogwarts 4 years ago was probably the best decision my family could have ever made for me. I was sorted into Slytherin my first night here and at the time I had no clue what the really meant for me. However, I knew anything would be better than my peers staring at me giving me disgusted looks for no righteous reason.

After that very odd sorting ceremony, I got to meet my roommate. I was incredibly nervous, I could feel my anxiety rise and the butterflies in my stomach were on a rampage. My palms were sweaty and my mouth was dry. I was told that being in Slytherin meant I was a strong leader, that I was ambitious and cunning, but that doesn't change the fact that for years, even though I worked for what I wanted and didn't let others opinions get in my way, that I was fully aware of what people thought of me and it scared me deeply. I will put on this face that appears as if I'm a girl who could care less about what you think of me, but when I go home or back to my room, those words will linger in my head for days on end, repeating over and over changing who I am on the inside. I fear one day I'll go cold, but I like to think that the sorting hat said I have a kind heart but a determined mind.

As I was stopped in my thoughts of anxiety, a stunning young woman walks into the room. She stood no taller than 5'6 and looked to be about 130 lbs. Light-skinned with black curly hair , eyes that look almost golden when the light hits them. Wearing uniform attire, she has on a a tight black skirt, a white button up with the Slytherin tie and robe.

My hormonal teenage self found her extremely attractive, but I decided to push that to the side because I really needed at least one friend here.

She put her bag down on her bed and introduced herself. Just by the way she presents herself she seemed intelligent and sweet, but she looked clever and mischievous.

    "Hey! My name is Aurora Greenwald, you must be Piper!" She said with enthusiasm, almost as if she'd be eager and excited to meet me.

My stomach started to ease, because solely from her introduction, I knew I had nothing to be anxious about, at least in this interaction.

"Hi!" I say maybe with a little to much excitement. "Yeah, my name is Piper Hale! It's so nice to meet you!" I say a little more tame trying to not frighten her with all my energy.

She takes a few steps closer to me and pulls me into a light, friendly hug. She pulls away and says "I can't wait to get to know you, I have a feeling we're going to be the bestest of friends".

I stand there surprised, but my heart begins to warm up and my hands are no longer sweaty because even though I have just met Aurora, she makes me feel safe. We stayed up for hours getting to know each other, we had common interests and were both very studious.
