Backstory

I still remember half a decade ago when I received my Hogwarts letter through the post. To think that I, a fairly shy and reserved young teen, could be going to the same school as the legendary Golden Trio was ethereal. The first time my eyes caught a glimpse of Hogwarts' fairytale-esque turrets and spires I almost vomited out of sheer excitement. Hogwarts quickly enough became a second home to me, and it shaped the young witch I am today. If I could go back to the first day I stepped into my robes I don't think I'd recognise myself - Hogwarts' warm and welcoming community have irreversibly changed me for the better. No longer am I the timid little witch who used to run the opposite direction when confronted with any sort of social situation; my extroverted self now thrives upon meeting new people and meeting every new day with a smile.

I hope that the day I eventually leave Hogwarts I can look back at my time studying here with not only a pang of nostalgia but also with a happy heart. I may go on to do extraordinary things, or maybe something plain and mundane, but I'll never forget my days at school that were filled with studying, midnight feasts, and most of all fun!
