It was his first day at Hogwarts and the Sorting Hat put him in Slytherin. He found that quite strange. Not the House, he was expecting that. But the way students got sorted here at Hogwarts. A hat.
Anyway, now he was in the Slytherin Common room, where he was supposed to feel like at home. It was nice down here, he had to admit. Professor told him the common room was under the lake, so that explained why it was so green. He quite liked it there.
His luggage and everything was up in his dorms already, but he didn't feel like doing the unpacking now, so he claimed the armchair in front of the fireplace. There were people in there, but mostly first and second years and he really didn't want to talk to those little brats, so he picked up a random book that was on the coffee table near him.
He felt as if somebody was looking at him and as he looked up, he saw that Maya girl from Hogsmead.
"Oh, hello." he greeted her, bowing his head slightly.
