Zach's Trip at Great Lake
Zach, a first year student from Ravenclaw, was wandering at the school. He was mapping the school in his mind. After an exhausting yet exciting trip in the castle, he decided to go to the Great Lake. This is where he first set foot at Hogwarts, with other first year students.
He was walking alone at shore of the Great Lake. He likes walking alone. While he was walking, he took a deep breath and feel the fresh air running into his nose. The air is still fresh. It clears my mind, he thought. He also played with the stone on the ground, kicking it weakly.
He then stopped to see the water of the lake. It is very clear, like a crystal. He could the reflection of the school and his own. I don't know why. But this lake feels so magical. It's a shame that my mom, brother, and sisters can not see this magical lake., he thought.
He took off his shoes and socks and folded his trouser up to his knees. He began to step his feet to the shallow. He felt the cold sensation from his feet. He also tried to scoop the water with his hand and play with it. The coldness of the water make him happy in his lonely time. After all, there's nothing more relaxing than spending time alone in the lake, he thought.
After being satisfied playing with the water, he walked off of the lake and fix his folded trouser. He sat on the ground and start enjoying his alone time again, staring at the sky. Are there anyone in my family that are a wizard too? It cannot be I am the only one being a wizard in my family. There must be my great great great grandparents that was also a wizard too, right? It must be a gene, he thought. He still thought endlessly how he could be a wizard. I wish there is a way to do a gene track. Just to make sure my hypothesis.
When he feels his feet was dry, he start to wear his socks and shoes again. I think it's time to go back to the dorm, he thought. Then he got up and started to walk to his dorm.

Zach's Trip at Great Lake
His Second Time at The Great Lake
It has been five days since Zach enroll in Hogwarts. He met many great wizards and witches in this magic school. He also met many students that are kind to him. He also still wandering in the castle when the he had free time. His favorite all of the place for resting and clearing mind is The Great Lake.
That day, the weather is very nice. The breeze that touch his skin, the sound of the tree leaves, and the sight of the lake is very pleasing. It was very quiet. He just heard the sound of the tree leaves. It refreshed his mind and made him relax. Zach really enjoyed the moment there.
Like last time he visited Great Lake, he searched a spot for him to sit. He found a spot near the shore. There is a very tall tree and a medium-sized stone right beside the tree. He sat there, gazing through the lake. He sometimes saw a wave formed by the wind at the lake. "I like this school. It is very magical, no matter day by day I have been here. I hope everything goes smoothly until I graduate from this school, and don't face any big problem while I'm here," he said it to himself.
After being satisfied relaxing there, Zach returned to the castle.

Zach's Trip at Great Lake
Third Time at The Great Lake
Zach was coming back to the Great Lake. But that day, he was not alone. He brought his companion with him, Zephyr, a barred owl. He walked to the same spot as the last time he came here. "You know, I like Great Lake. The atmosphere is very calming here," Zach said to Zephyr. "Do you like this place too, pal?" Zephyr was hooting to respond Zach's question. "You can play here. Fly anywhere but don't be to far! I will call you when we are going back. Do you get it, pal?" Zephyr is hooting again. "Good." Zach opened Zephyr's cage and let him flew away, leaving Zach alone.
Zach saw his owl flew away. When Zephyr was out of his sight, he sat under the tree, the exact same spot as the last time he came before. He looked at the ground under his feet and saw many fallen leaves. There are so many different shape of leaves there. He played those fallen leaves by tearing them.
Time flies so fast. Zephyr came back to Zach and pearched by the tree branch above Zach's head. Zach wasn't aware of the zephyr's existence until he heard a hooting above him. "You are back? What time is it?" He looked at the sky. It looked orange. "It's time to go back to the castle. Come in," Zach opened the cage. Zephyr flew to the cage and dropped something in it, then flew out again and dropped something again. "Is it beetles? And worms?! I guess you keep it for tonight's snack, don't you? But I remember that you are alway go out at night. Why would you keep a snack?" Zephyr is hooting to respond him. "Ahahaha.. Okay. Let me pet you." Zephyr closed his eyes when Zach pet him. Sometimes he hooted. "Let's going here again next time." They walked to the castle, leaving the quiet Great Lake behind.

Zach returned to Great Lake after a long time he didn't because of the many tasks he had to complete. He came back with Zephyr. He seemed to perch sweetly in his cage while looking around. Zach breathed in the fresh air of the Great Lakes which felt slightly damp but still refreshing.
He walked a few steps while looking for the right location for him to sit to enjoy the view there. A large rock in the middle of the trees seemed not far from where he was standing which then made Zach approach the rock. He sat on it then opened the Zephyr's cage and said, "You can fly now. I'll be waiting for you here. Don't fly too far and too late." Whether Zephyr understood or not, Zach said it slowly. Zephyr then flew away, streaking through the sky.
Zach looked at the scenery there. It was the fourth time he had come back to the Great Lakes, but he still wasn't tired of the atmosphere. Instead he felt like he was being recharged by the beauty and atmosphere of the Great Lake. Zach looked down and saw some pebbles. An idea occurred to him to practice Levitation Charms and General-Counter Spells. He then took a stick out of his pocket and pointed it at one of the pebbles. He then moved his staff, a swish and flick, and chanted, "Wingardium Leviosa." One of the pebbles lifted, flying into the air. Unsatisfied with the result, he cast a General-Counter Spell by making a shaped like wand movement and cast, "Finite Incantatem." The rock fell to the ground. He did it for some times until he felt Zephyr's presence through its hooting sound. "You're finally back. Are you tired? Me too. Let's go back to the castle and take a rest."
Zach opened the cage so Zephyr entered it then Zach closed the cage again. They went back to the castle and continued their activity.

Thought | Said
This is Zach's umpteenth time coming to Great Lake to clear his head. He also brought Zephyr and released it to fly far away. In the same spot, he sat down while gazing out at the vast expanse of the beautiful and magical Great Lake. His thoughts drifted, reminiscing about the past.
It's hard to believe that it's been a year since he arrived at Hogwarts. This experience was something he never imagined before. Being a Muggle-born and having to adapt to the wizarding world was difficult, especially for Zach, who was very shy. He arrived at Hogwarts on the Hogwarts Express, crossed the lake, and entered the castle. The Sorting Hat placed him in Ravenclaw, the blue house with values of wisdom, intelligence, and creativity that are always ingrained in the hearts of its inhabitants.
The Steppe Eagle dormitory room is where Zach rests with other male students. The atmosphere of the room, filled with map illustrations and a ceiling that reflects the outside weather, is what led him to meet his first friends, Simon and Cassian. Simon is a quiet and reserved person who appears to be someone who would defend anyone in need. Meanwhile, Cassian is a very friendly child. His amiable nature reduces Zach's loneliness while staying in Ravenclaw.
He also met other children, Kyle Sutton and Agnus Almalik. Both of them were interesting children. Kyle seemed to be a shy child. He was a creative child, as evidenced by the sketchbook he brought, which contained various drawings, mostly of dinosaurs and robots. Agnus was a confident but mysterious child. Zach felt that she had a secret in the book she had dropped.
The library was the setting for Cassie and Zach's meeting. While struggling with her astronomy homework, Cassie assisted Zach in locating some sources he could utilize. Their friendship persisted until the Royal Banquet. Zach regarding Cassie as a friend.
Once again, he met a student. Her name was Cicely, a Gryffindor, and at this point, he finally had a friend outside of Ravenclaw. Another fact about her was that she was good at cooking and invited Zach to taste the dishes she had made. Shortly after meeting Cicely, Zach also met Allegra, although their meeting was a bit awkward at first. However, she was a good person.
His daydream was interrupted by the hoot hoot of Zephyr. It seemed that he was satisfied with his hunting and had taken a little stroll around the Great Lake. Zach quickly opened the cage wide so that Zephyr could enter it. Zach then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He decided to return to his dormitory. "Goodbye, Great Lake. See you in a few months," he said then leaving the Great Lake, the majestic lake in Hogwarts.
