A Meeting of the Hufflepuffs Open Closed

It was the first day of school. Well the first day of classes and by the time lunch rolled around, EmmaLee was already exhausted with all of the knowledge they had crammed into her sleepy head and all of the running she had had to do in order to get to her classes.

Last night EmmaLee had been sorted into Hufflepuff house. It seemed to be a lovely house with very friendly people. She had had a great conversation with a few new first years and even a fourth year. It was very surprising that he was not only interested in talking to the younger students, but excited that they had been sorted into his house and very eager to talk to them.

All too soon, the food had vanished and all of the students sent off to their common rooms. The first years had been ushered out of the grand Great Hall by the prefects and once they had all gotten to the common room, gotten a tour of the common room, found their dorm rooms, and she had talked with the other new first year girls late into the night, EmmaLee had barely gotten any sleep.

When she woke up, it was go time. She had actually opted to sleep in instead of going to breakfast, because she doesn't normally eat breakfast anyway, and then headed to classes.

For the entire morning, her classes had been inside the castle, which was just as grand every where else as she had expected. The place was huge and it had taken her quite a lot of wandering to find all of her morning classes and quite a bit of running to get to any of them on time. Thankfully, she hadn't had to tackle the moving staircase just yet, as she was sure that she was going to fall off of those eventually, if not first thing. She wondered what happened if or when kids fell off of them. Was there some kind of magic that would save them or did they just fall into some kind of abyss? Well, she guessed that she would figure that out later.

Anyway, having been cooped up inside all morning in classes, EmmaLee had decided to take her lunch outside. She had entered the Great Hall, waved hello to the cheery Hufflepuffs who were already there (there was not a doubt at all that they were, if fact, the friendliest house), made a couple of sandwiches for herself, and headed outside to sit by the magnificent lake.

Now she was sitting under a shady tree near the water's edge. Her long white blonde hair was half up in two tails with yellow bows, while the other half cascaded down her back and blew lightly in the fall breeze. Her bright blue eyes scanned over the water as she ate one of the sandwiches and thought about her day. It had been a good day, but a fast paced and full one.
