-Volume #1 - Issue #1-
When you walk into Hogwarts for the very first time as a first year; you walk into the walls as a human being with a past, that you and whom ever else deep to you has written into your book called 'Life'. A new chapter begins as you pass those double doors and walk in lines between two sets of tables to be placed under a hat...
Four Tables for Four Houses; we are sorted to one of these four places...
Another chapter in your life is written and now you are given a mask that is given a color of red, blue, green or yellow and with that a mask you wear with pride! Seven years you place this mask onto your face and act the way that seems fitting within that house and seven years you keep to that houses oath like if they were blood kin... But do you still keep these masks on during the holidays when we leave these school walls?
Even better... Do you still wear these masks when your seven years in these stone walls are up?
Many say "I was chosen in this house because it runs in the family," but is it true for those that are being accepted in the school as first of their kin? It has been said many times "How did I end up in this house?" when their personalities and decisions are not keen or precise as like the housemates that they reside with. Was the Hat that was placed on their head wrong?
But the reason and words I write are not for me to keep to myself but to give you a question that maybe was burning in your mind as it is to mine; Do we still wear these masks when we leave these walls or do we place them on our bed-sides when the day is over and the last of our books are closed?
Because past those masks was something that was different... Before that fateful day; when you walked through those double doors to take that test under a hat you were and still are like the beings around you...
