Definition: prioritising a person's needs before your own.
Kindness is not something extra you show when you can, kindness is the bare minimum of humanity that you must show every day. Be kind.

Dear diary,
Today I helped a few girls in the library with their potions homework, I love potions so much, and I'm good at it, but I understand not everyone likes potions, it's a complicated subject after all.The girls were sitting together with several potions books around them, which made it pretty obvious they needed help. Harumi had been watching them for a while, she wanted to help but she was too shy, she always feared people would think she's arrogant or trying to show off, if she tried to help, she was accused of that before, and she doesn't want to be accused of it again. However, seeing the girls getting frustrated made Harumi feel the need to actually do something about it, so Harumi gathered all her courage and stood up, she walked to their table and explained everything they didn't understand to them. Harumi felt so much better after helping the girls.

Dear diary,
It's me! Today a boy broke his quill during class, nobody seemed to have extras, so I offered him mine, I always have extras just incase, and told him he needn't return it if he needs it for other classes.Harumi was preoccupied with copying the notes when she noticed the boy asking around him for an extra quill, she looked at his desk and noticed his was broken. Harumi silently offered the quill and the boy accepted it. By the end of the class the boy was returning the quill, Harumi told him he could keep it since they still have more classes for the rest of the day. The boy thanked her and kept, promising to return it tomorrow.

Dear diary,
A girl looked sad today, I wonder why, I talked to her and tried to make her feel better, thankfully she seemed to brighten up when we started chatting about random things, the girl seemed to like tea much like me.The girl was sitting by the lake looking sad, Harumi was sitting a few metres away reading a book and saw her. Harumi wondered what could the reason for her sadness be, did she fight with her friends? Harumi wouldn't know, the girl seemed to start crying softly at some point, Harumi wanted to comfort her, but Harumi isn't very good at comforting. Before Harumi could decide what to do, the girl stopped crying, Harumi decided it was now or never. Harumi approached the girl and asked if she could sit next to her. Harumi then initiated a small chat, she asked about her favourite things, and told her she looked beautiful. Sometimes people need a comforting presence more than words.

Dear diary,
People can be very cruel sometimes, the other day I saw a few students mocking a student's haircut, I think it's because this haircut is pretty popular among muggles, but so what? Muggles are humans too!The student was walking down the hall when, for no real reason, a couple of students said something along the lines of "Did you see those muggle-borns with their stupid haircuts?" and they kept laughing while looking at the boy clearly aiming their words at him. Harumi didn't know what to do, she felt enraged, can't they leave people exist in peace! And before she could think of anything, she walked forward to the student's side and said "I like your haircut! Don't mind anyone's opinion!" and then she immediately looked at the mocking students "You should consider working on yourselves instead of mocking others." she said dryly, the students seemed to be ashamed of themselves, perhaps they're not entirely bad and just needed a push to become a better version of themselves. Harumi hoped her words gave them that push.

The fifth event.
Dear diary,
I saw a student get hurt today, I helped him go to the hospital wing, he seems alright now, I hope he gets well soon.Hogwarts is a place that houses many students so it's only normal some will get hurt every now and then. Harumi saw a student who was limping to the hospital wing. Harumi kept overthinking whether helping him would make her seem like she was watching him for a long time but in the end she decided to stop thinking and she did. She went to him and told him to lean on her, she walks him to the hospital wing while averting his focus from the pain to random silly things such as a random pet walking by them.

Dear diary,
I'm here again! Today I had a fun little adventure looking for a lost cat, in the end it was hiding on a tree. Such an energetic cat! It was someone's pet and they were very worried all day! I'm glad they found it!A student approached Harumi asking if she saw a tabby cat, Harumi said she didn't, the student looked frustrated. Harumi offered to help them look for it and indeed she did. Harumi abandoned her homework and kept looking for the cat all day, it was kind of fun but the student beside her being worried made her sad. Finally during looking in the courtyard they heared meows from a tree, the student immediately beamed with happiness. Harumi stood on her tiptoes trying to get to the cat but couldn't, that didn't stop the cat though, it jumped on her head and then to the ground, Harumi laughed. Later that night, she stayed up doing the homework she missed.
