September first had been one of the most magical yet emotional days in the life of the young blonde known as Alora Shendrow, in fact the past few months of her life had seemed to blur into some kind of dream that she expected to be waking from at any moment now. For a few months ago in the midst of stress from preparing for her upcoming school exams that would determine what senior school she would be attending in the fall things had completely changed.

Mid study the tensions would rise to a boiling point as Alora just couldn’t find the right page for the topic she needed to revise when out of nowhere a seeming gust of wind would swirl through her small bedroom flipping the pages to reveal the desired area. Speaking with her family about this event it was agreed that the stress had probably gotten to much for her to bare in that moment that her mind had made up this event to help ease the tension. But deep down the young blonde knew that what she had witnessed that day was real, and it would only be confirmed a few weeks later in the form of an unexpected letter.

A letter of invitation to attend a prestigious school of Witchcraft and Wizardry by the name of Hogwarts arrived in the mail for Alora and slowly over the weeks both Alora and the rest of the Shendrow family would have to come to terms with the news that everything they’d believed and dreamed of were now a thing of the past as this new world opened up around them. Agreeing to move forward with this new opportunity the entire family would head to London two weeks before Alora’s scheduled departure to enjoy their annual family trip together visiting a few of the sights and purchasing all of the blondes needed supplies for the year ahead before the day of departure would arrive.

Leaving London on the Hogwarts Express train heading towards Hogwarts for the very first time after an emotional goodbye to her family, Alora had already experienced so many new and somewhat overwhelming events already and it had only been a day. From her arrival at the school over the lake to attending the Sorting Ceremony where she would be sorted into the Ravenclaw house the young girl had retired to bed as soon as possible and fallen asleep peacefully with ease.

September 2nd, 2022

With the sun shining a little through the netted curtains of the booted eagle dorm room and the sounds of birds chirping gently outside, Alora would begin to stir from her deep restful slumber around 8am in the morning. With no classes scheduled till the following week to give the first-years some time to familiarise themselves with their new home and with that the young blonde stumbled herself out of her large bed preparing herself for a day of exploration. Heading to wash up and change before deciding to stop by the great hall where she had been sorted the evening before for a spot of breakfast Alora heads down from the west tower.

Entering the grand hall, the blonde takes a seat at the Ravenclaw table grabbing herself a plate of potatoes and bacon before filling her goblet with some freshly squeezed orange juice almost reminiscent of her mornings spent at home in Ireland before heading out to school or tending to the farm. Enjoying what seemed to be the best part of an hour with her breakfast and deciding on what she would spend the day doing that would be productive, the young blonde decided to attempt to get her bearings through the castle well the places she would spend most of her time at least and the first stop would be the school library.


Finishing the last bites of her meal the first-year Ravenclaw makes her way out of the great hall in the direction of goodness knows where in search of her first destination on the cards that day. Searching the first floor she starts her exploration not really taking in much of her surroundings looking for anything like signposts that may symbolise the way she needs to go. Spending what seems to be the best part of an hour searching this maze of a school Alora finds herself startled as she accidentally collides with a taller male student her bag tumbling to the ground beneath her feet as she stammers in shock and embarrassment trying to both grab her belongings as swiftly as possible whilst hoping the student was okay.

“I am so sorry, I should have been watching where I was going. Are you okay? Please tell me you’re okay? The last thing I want is to land someone in the hospital on my first official day. I am so sorry” she rambles on almost inaudibly as her Irish accent takes over and she finds herself in a panic speaking far to quickly for those around her to understand fully.
