Abandoned

Ravenclaw

Aerana couldn't have been happier. She was last seen excitedly skipping and dancing to the Ravenclaw common room, stopping whenever the prefects looked at her. The Ravenclaws were led by their prefect, Nate Preston. They soon arrived in front of two large silver double doors. On one, was the head of a bronze eagle. There was a handle but Nate didn't use it. Instead, a voice spoke.

" Under pressure is the only way I work....and by myself is the only way i'm hurt...."

" Diamond...duh" Aerana muttered to herself. However, the door seemed to have heard her and swung open, while Nate stood bewildered. They entered through the doors and Aerana's jaw dropped( as did the first-years'around her). The walls were marbled and covered with bookshelves which were overflowing with dozens of books. There were navy blue camel-back sofas arranged throughout the room and tables in front of them. Right in the middle, was a marble statue of Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the four founders of Hogwarts. Aerana could see students, their faces buried in books. At one corner of the room, there was a fire place and students sat around it, playing a game of wizard chess. A boy beside her,Zeke Iwvior Amaex           ( who she remembered from the sorting), was staring in awe at the room. Nate led them around the common room before letting them roam around for a while. Aerana and Zeke walked together to the students playing chess.

" Rook, two places left" A girl said. The rook immediately moved.

" Queen one step down!" A boy exclaimed, and the rook was destroyed. The girl threw up her hands in dismay. 

" Should've moved to the left. Then you could have trapped his king and won the game." Aerana suggested. A look of realisation crossed over the girl's face and she spun around to look at Aerana.

" You must be a first year! Welcome to Hogwarts, my name is Nadia Ember, fourth-year." Aerana introduced herself and shook Nadia's hand. Zeke had wandered off and was sitting with a boy who seemed to have some sort of Muggle object. Nadia and Aerana talked for a while, mostly about the new school year ahead. From four years of experience, Nadia was able to tell her a lot( and Aerana able to learn a lot more). Nadia was a half-blood and was the Ravenclaw Quidditch Chaser. Aerana's dream was to be a Beater. She was a big supporter of Germany and absolutely adored Mungo Hesleden, one of the two brilliant Beaters. Her grandfather was a Ravenclaw Beater back in his days and was the one who had sparked her interest. She and Nadia had a long conversation about Quidditch. Soon, Nadia was taken away by one of her friends and Zeke came trotting over holding an odd trinket in his hands.

" Have you seen this! It's a Muggle item! They call it a Radio. They say it plays music! Let me show you!". Zeke twisted some knobs on the back of the machine but instead of music, came a loud ear-piercing shriek. All around them, students threw their hands up to cover their ears.

" How soothing." commented Aerana. Zeke shrugged and walked off. Not knowing what to do, she decided to look at the thousands of books. Aerana found herself drawn towards a particular book on the shelf. It had a blueish- grey cover and seemed to be placed in a secluded corner. She could make out the words " Rise......Lord...." written on the cover. She began to proceed forward, her arm stretched out towards the mysterious book. She could feel herself-

" First- years please gather!". Aerana heard the sound of Nate booming over the bookshelves. She would just have to get the book later. She sighed before turning around and proceeding towards the large crowd of First-years. Nate then separated the girls and boys into their respective dormitories. In one dorm, there were 5 four-poster beds which were covered in sky blue silk eiderdowns. Aerana's trunk had already been delivered and her owl, Noctua, sat perched on the handle. She gently stroked her before preparing herself for bed as well as the lessons she had the next day. Her other four roommates were: Vilenna, Olynn, Wayly, and Jackie. The girls soon went to bed but one thought surfaced Aerana's mind before she drifted off.

Cora in Slytherin.
