In the Shadow of the Sun
@River Grimes
It was the first weekend of September—my first weekend at Hogwarts—and I was wandering the corridors alone. Although I had made three friends, I wasn't yet close enough to them to spend all my time in their company. Actually, that wasn't quite it; mostly, I was afraid of being a bother. I was the only girl in a group of boys, we didn't share the same interests, we came from different backgrounds—well, you get the idea. For the time being, I didn't want to cling to them; I was afraid I’d end up annoying them. I was walking through the corridors with my head down; hanging around my neck was a chain with a beautiful red rose pendant at the end. It was my very first Christmas gift—I received it shortly after my first birthday. I didn't wear it as a necklace when I was tiny, but once I turned five, I could. That pendant has never left my side since. I don't know why I cherish the necklace so much; some might say there’s nothing special about it, but to me, there is. It’s special because it was given with love, and it’s something I share with my mom—though hers features a cherry blossom instead. I’m very close to my mom, and the necklace makes me feel closer to her.
As I walked with my eyes cast downward, I didn't see the boy in front of me; I collided with him suddenly and fell hard to the ground.

In the Shadow of the Sun
“I am so bored…” I groaned, watching the clouds from a window in the hallway. Fresh out of detention for accidentally blowing up the Charms classroom. I wanted to fly again; how much would a broom cost? I’m a second year now and can own my own broom.
It was a whole other year until I could go to Hogsmeade. The smuggled goods and candy I buy from the older kids make it so much more worth it to go. And whatever Butterbeer was, I need it. Half of me wanted to see if there were secret ways to go to town.
I got lost in the clouds, and in my mind, when something small and soft rammed into my back, “Oof…” I turned around and saw some Ravenclaw girl sprawled out on the ground. “Damn, did my butt do that? Let me help,” I quickly said. I jumped down, helped her fix her robes, and lifted her to her feet. I quickly scrambled to grab her scroll, books and supplies. I dumped them into her bag and slung it over my shoulder.
“Are you hurt? Do you need me to take you to the Hospital Wing?” I asked her. I checked her over, didn’t see any serious injuries. “You ok? Sorry, I was lost in my head and didn’t see you.”
