There was something about the Slytherin common room that really made you feel comfortable. It was luxurious and posh- probably because of all the donations the pureblood families give to make it so.
After dinner, right after the prefects showed us the way to the common room, my friends and I found a seat in one of the many expensive-looking couches and continued our conversation. It's hilarious because it wasn't like we didn't see each other often or write to each other every day but I guess it was us feeling excited about our future together in Slytherin. It pushed my friends and me to talk about unnecessary topics just to spend more time together.
I felt at home. I really did.
"I know it shouldn't bother me," Jimin started looking down at his lap. "The older Slytherins all cheered for us but I couldn't help but notice the glares sent our way. Especially from the Gryffindorks.
"Yoongi had his arm around Jimin in an instant. "We're only first years and already we have people glaring at us.
"They glared. I noticed that the ginger head that was awestruck from earlier was suddenly looking at me with such anger it surprised me.
"That's nothing new. We're Slytherins. We're hated for being born brilliant." Claude said nonchalantly from beside me. "We take care of our own.
"We all nodded agreeing with him.
After a few sleepy yawns, we all decided to head to bed. All the boys shared one dorm while Jimin and I share one room because we don't want to share with anybody else and need some privacy.
Everyone in the dorm was already fast asleep when we came into our room. Changing into our nightgowns, we both said our goodnights and closed our eyes.
Tomorrow was a new day.

At breakfast, we sat at our same seating arrangement. The mail came and happily, I opened a letter from my grandmother, giving our family owl a scratch and a piece of bacon.
Claude pushed a box of sweets at me. "From mum.
"I take it, giving him a grateful smile. "Give my love to your mum, please.
"He nods going back to reading his own letter.
I look down at mine and smile. It's barely been a day but I already missed my grandmother.
My little one,
As expected, congratulations on making it to Slytherin. A long line of great Emrys has been in Slytherin and I do not doubt that you will be just as great or even greater.
I want you to enjoy your time in Hogwarts because my years in Hogwarts are still the best years of my life. Create mischief if you must but you know my rule with that, never get caught.
