Backstory

I definitely was more nervous than needed on the way to the castle for sorting when starting my first year. You see, I come from a long line of Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors--I want to make them proud. My older sister Eugenie (she's a 5th year in Hufflepuff) is incredibly smart, works hard to do well, and above all, she looks out for others. She inspires me to be the best I can be. I want to learn all I can, especially Herbology and Charms, and make true friendships. When my name was called, I barely sat on the stool as the old Sorting Hat came down that a sounding "Hufflepuff!" sounded into the Great Hall! Mum is going to be so happy (and 10 galleons richer I reckon). I brought my barn owl, Enjolras, with me and I almost wish I hadn't. He demands attention at all times and the look he gives me when I need to send mail--you'd think I'd spit on his fresh mouse. I imagine Enjy won't be too happy when the mail starts to arrive here at the castle now that my family knows there's yet another Hufflepuff!

I'm looking forward to all my classes but I definitely can't wait for quidditch to begin! I hope to make the team one day and I'll keep trying for Chaser like my life depends on it. At home, Dad and I listen to all the Puddlemere United matches that we can't go to so it'll be interesting to watch the matches here without him.
