I've been at Hogwarts for about three days, it's been tough getting used to. It's better than being around the house all day, I suppose. I was sorted into Gryffindor, which I've been mulling over in my head. Can I do the whole nobility thing?
I don't have any friends. Not surprising really, I didn't in my old school either. Maybe someday someone will talk to me. That would be nice. I feel a bit of a wall forming around myself sometimes, which is also not surprising. Sometimes I sit in the Great Hall, and the noise of people talking is overwhelming. I have to leave and go outside. The grounds are beautiful, I found an amazing spot near the lake. It's a great place to just sit and write.
I won't fill you in on my whole past right now, I'm experimenting with not thinking about it. Maybe I'll be able to just live instead of dwell.
I've been observing other students, and a lot of them seem troubled. It's weird. Everyone has a terrible past, all of us. It makes me wonder what exactly makes a good witch/wizard. Or what makes someone magical. Is it a past that hurts so badly you feel it in every inch of your body? Does a person want so badly for the pain to subside that he/she uses an unused part of the brain, opening a way for magic?
There I go again, slipping into the past. I'm gonna leave now, find something to occupy myself.
