The Common Room
Chapter 2
After the start of year feast, prefect Marcus Foster lead us to the common room. Once there, he sat us down to allow us to introduce to our fellow housemates. An hour later, we had started to play a game Katy had introduced, called 'Truth or Dare'.
"Maya, truth or dare?" a 3rd year asked.
"Ummm..." she said, "Truth."
The 3rd year looked slightly disappointed but asked the question all the same. "Ok, what is your biggest secret, I guess?"
"Ooo, ok. My biggest secret is probably... that I sent my brother to the hospital."
"Oh my gosh!" a 5th year piped up. "What happened?"
"Well... My brother was trying to stun me, and I had no idea what to do because I was only 8 at the time. So I just shouted the first spell I could think of with my mum's wand. Turns out it broke his leg." Everyone was in plain shock at this point. Kind of like the time my dad went back in time using a time turner and met Queen Victoria. But the excitement soon died down and we started the game again. Then it was my turn.
"Ok, Elena. Truth or dare?" Katy asked.
"Well, I guess I'll go for a dare," I said. I was the first to pick dare, which I thought was absolutely unbelievable. Apparently, I wasn't alone because a smile appeared on everyone else in the room: some people even started cheering. And well, as you can guess, I ended up in the Forbidden Forest.
