A large snake dropped from the tree I was leaning against and struck out at the nearest monster, apparently I had run into it's territory along with the other monsters. The snake lashed out at all the monsters that dared to close in on me and the tree from the clearing edge. After the monsters had given up trying to attack me and left the snake slithered slowly towards me. 'Why...are...you crying...dear one?' It asked me, clearly out of breath.

"I-I just wanted to go somewhere without be pushed around." I confessed as tears rolled down my cheeks and off my chin.

'Look into the reflecting pool.' The snake suggested

I got up and walked to the lake to see my reflection, my normal self looked back, a tear fell and then a black shadow with red eyes, fangs, a silver bracelet fashioned to look like a snake wrapped around it's arm, and with a real snake wrapped around it's stomach stared back. I wrenched my gaze away from the otherwise undisturbed glasslike pool.
'I don't like how my reflection looks' I told the snake.

'I'm sorry to hear that dear one.' The snake symophosised

"Goodbye friend." I told the snake as I saw Merin nearing the ground.

"Hello" I said to Merin

Instead Merin bombarded me with questions.

"Calm down, please!" Flare interrupted her "start at the first one"

"How did you get into Hogwarts?" Merin asked hurriedly.

"I walked in through the front door" I answered truthfully

"When was the first time you entered?" Merin questioned

"Less than ten minutes ago" I sighed "I thought I would be more welcome"

Hey wonder, I was wondering if you could leave the answers to you're character's questions as blanks so that I could just fill in the answers.
