As Hannah opened the door into the Great Hall on her way to supper, the chatter and noise of the students hit her like a brick wall. The homework is so hard! Can you believe what he said? Look what my mum sent me! Everyone around her was catching up with their friends. Hannah took a deep breath. You can do this Quickly she advances forward picking up her pace. Okay. See? You can do this. She sits down on an empty seat. The noise around her surges as everyone takes their seats. Thankfully, the food appears giving Hannah something else to try and focus on. Trying to eat the food before her. Mashed Potatoes! Yes! And mac and cheese! Hannah quickly eats her food, excited for dessert. I hope they have chocolate pudding or cake! When the dessert appears Hannah sighs in disappointment. Oh Jello. Picking up her spoon, Hannah braces herself. Just swallow it whole. You won't even feel it. Mom always says to be grateful for what you have. Slowly exhaling Hannah quickly eats the Jello gagging a bit when the slimy texture hits her. Just a little bit longer until supper is over. Whew. Wishing she brought a book, Hannah fidgeted with her hands when suddenly CrAsH! Someone at the Hufflepuff table knocked over a plate, sending it and its contents all over the floor. The whole hall was quiet for a second before continuing to talk. Somebody laughed. The clattering of plates. The scraping of forks and spoons. Some boys talked about a new broom. When did the lights get so bright? Hannah took a few deep breaths, trying, trying to block it all out. Coughing. The door closing. Someone setting down their goblet to hard. Someone pushing in their chair. Hannah fidgeted with her robes, blinking hard, clearly agitated. I need to go somewhere, anywhere but here When Hannah gets up to leave suddenly everyone gets up and starts to leave with her! Did I do something wrong? Why is everyone getting up? With everyone leaving the Great Hall, Hannah pushes through people trying to get away as the lights and noises attack her. Gasping as tears prick her eyes, Hannah runs up the stairs and down a random hallway not knowing where she is going. Curling up into a ball behind a column, Hannah rocks back and forth, back and forth, back and forth; wishing that she could go home.
