The girl let out a contented sighas she stepped over the threshold of hte Library. Lidia had always found libraries comforting, probably because of the happy hours her mother had spent reading to her as a child. And the silence, it was glorious, there was always noise in her common room and even in her dormitory, the girls she shared the room with being irritating giggling things. Casting a scathing glance at some second years who's arguement had spiked loudly for a moment, Lidia swept into a cushy leather chair. Pulling out some parchment and a quill and steeled herself to right a letter to her father.
What was she supposed to say? The first part was easy of course, mundane information about how she liked hte castle and that her classes would begin on Monday(tomorrow), but after that? Lidia bit her lip deep in thought. Her mother had gone to Durmstrang, and her father had been a Slytherin when he was in Hogwarts. Lidia had wanted to be in Ravenclaw or maybe Gryffindor, while her father insisted she be in Slytherin or as a second resort Ravenclaw. And she had been sorted into Hufflepluff. Damn hat. Lidia didn't really mind, but her father would be livid, or at the very least aghast and dissapointed. The girl snorted softly thinking of righting to him: Oh by the way Dad, remember how you told me you'd disown me if I was in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor? Well you'll never guess what happened....
Glorious, absolutely fantastic. Setting aside her half finished letter she picked up a book from inside her bag at random and pulled out Hogwarts, A History: Revised Edition. A small half smile crept onto her face in place of the grimace she had owrn. Might as well learn something about this school, at least a bit about the floorplan. It had taken her an hour to get from her common toom to the Library. Opening the cover, Lidia began to read.
