Even though it had already been a week since Lorraine arrived at Hogwarts, she never really had a knack for remembering things, she would often forget where she put her plushies when she was a toddler, and she'd usually throw a tantrum and wouldn't stop 'til it was found, though it was kind of embarrassing to admit it now.

She had just found out how to get of the dungeons, and you had to admit it was pretty creepy when you're wandering there all by yourself, wandering. After that very hard obstacle, she had now been circling the corridors for quite a long time now and her stomach had been groaning quite a lot too.

She didn't know why she hadn't brought that map of Hogwarts thad was given to her by a prefect, how she felt so stupid after the thought of that. After another turn, her stomach have another grumble, that was not a good sign...

But the good news, she had found another student. She was quite shorter than her, probably around 4'5 or 4'6, she had dark, very pretty, wavy hair, she was also wearing a Hufflepuff robe, so she must be helpful, she had been talking to a few other students and they explained Hogwarts to her, and it was very confusing.

She didn't know why but even taking a few steps towards the student felt very queasy. She never had this feeling when making friends with other people in the muggle world, and why now, when she was feeling extremely hungry?

With a large gulp of air, she took a few more steps and tapped the other girl's shoulder. "Er, excuse me?" , her stomach felt even more queasy and she didn't know why.

Aurette didn't know why she ended up in the corridors, she reckoned that a few minutes ago, she was still in her dormitory, changing. "Funny, how time flies, really" , she muttered to herself.

Now, she was somewhere in the Hogwarts Castle, Corridors, I suppose, she thought. She then remembered something, something very useful. She dug her hands onto the pockets of her robes and withdrew a piece of parchment; the map of Hogwarts, good thing she forgot to put it on her bedside table last night, was it last night, though?, that she wasn't so sure.

After looking at it for a few minutes, she was very confused. There were, apparently, hundreds of corridors in Hogwarts, so she might not know exactly where she was. After scanning it and making notes, she came to the conclusion that she must be in the corridors close to the kitchens, which was also where the Hufflepuff Common Room was.

After lots of wandering, she found herself in the dungeons, exactly how did I end up in the dungeons?, she thought to herself, bewildered looking up at the stone walls. I was probably thinking..., she added and wandered up to the corridors above the dungeons.

Now she didn't know where she was. She kept consulting her map and it was even confusing than the castle itself, probably because of her attempt to write 'additions' to the map, which was naming all the paintings and statues and armour she came across, Well that was pretty stupid..

"Er, Excuse me?" , she jumped a little at the sudden sound and turned around to find a first-year in Slytherin robes, she was a bit taller than she was and had beautiful, long blonde hair and dark blue eyes, she was extremely pretty. "Er, yes?", she asked the pretty girl, trying to sound helpful, the girl looked extremely uncomfortable, Oh no! Did I do something wrong, did I look terrifying? Did I scare her?

"Er-, can I help you?" , the girl asked, a sympathetic look on her face. Lorraine fidgeted for a few minutes, then said, "Uhm, I left my map at our common room and I'm having trouble looking for the great hall, I just wanted to ask if ,you, perhaps knew where it is?", very quickly that she was sure the girl could catch the nervousness on her voice.

The girl didn't answer yet, Lorraine was so sure that she was uncomfortable, she had that same constipated look when someone was nervous. She remembered the first time she went to daycare. Not anyone approached her, but she, who always got things her way, marched up to a group of girls and confidently said, “Hello, do you want to be friends?”.

But she didn't know what was so hard about making friends here. Maybe because she felt like an outcast, not knowing about this beautiful world that was so carefully kept hidden from her parents' or muggles' prying eyes and nosy ears.

Lorraine fidgeted with her gold rings, looked around, tried to avoid the girl's eyes and found a slightly crumpled piece of paper. “Hey, is that a map?”, she pointed at the girl's hand, voice surprisingly calm.
