21. The first letter of dormitory life

Hogwarts

Slytherin 1st year dormitory

Lin an

1991.9.2

Dear Linan,

I'm sorry, I wrote this letter in a hurry after I got up, I really didn't expect you to go to Slytherin!

Oh, and I don't mean to go to Slytherin badly, it's just, just on the train you've heard about it too, mystery (crossed out).

In short, no matter what, you are my friend.

I'm sorry you weren't at Gryffindor.

Our dormitories had to pass through doors hidden behind sliding baffles and draped draperies, and climb many high staircases to enter a hallway

At the end of the corridor hangs a portrait of a very rich woman dressed in pink. [Original]

She was in charge of the daily passwords, but I ...... Oh sorry, I can't figure out what last night's password was right now.

In short, when the password is spoken, the portrait reveals a circular hole in the wall, and we have to climb through the hole.

Oh, my God!

Although I was tired and sleepy at the time, I have to say that it was really a fun process!

The Gryffindor's common room is very cozy, a circular room filled with fluffy armchairs. Wait until you climb to the top of the spiral staircase—

That's right, we just live in a tower!

That's so cool!

I was in a dorm room with Ron, and our room had five beds with four drapes and draped draperies of crimson velvet.

The suitcase had already been placed in the room, but unfortunately I was really exhausted and only had time to change into my pajamas and go to sleep.

Plus, the dinner at Hogwarts was really hearty! Have you tried the syrup fruit tart?

It's really delicious!

I was probably overfed last night, and I had a very strange dream: I was wearing Professor Quirrell's big scarf - did you see Professor Quirrell? He was the one sitting in the teacher's chair last night with a scarf.

The gloomy professor beside him, who seems to be your dean, is very scary to hear, and is in charge of our potions teaching...... Oh, sorry I digress again, and ......

Sorry, I don't remember the rest of the dreams either.

Are you okay in Slytherin?

I've heard that your dormitories are all under the Black Lake, and that the people in the house are very discriminatory against Muggles.

Lin an, will you be bullied inside?

If anyone treats you badly, please be sure to let me know and I will help you!

Also, living in a tall tower is cool, but it's also a bit bad: because I have to memorize many, many stairs and steps every day, and if I go wrong, there's a good chance I'll fall down or be late.

There are also many doors, which I have to politely ask to open.

In short, they are constantly moving around, and the people on the portraits are constantly visiting each other.

I'm lying in the common room and I'm writing this to you because of my scar, you know, the "boy who never dies" or something, and there are a lot of students around me who share the magic of Hogwarts with me......

Of course, ghosts are also scary.

I hate Peeves the most, but Nick, who almost lost his head, is more than happy to show the way for new Gryffindor students.

If you get lost, maybe you know a Gryffindor friend?

In addition, there is another terrifying character that you should pay attention to, and that is the administrator Ax Filch.

I heard that he was very scary, and because he was a squib, he couldn't get used to all the students, and always tried to punish them.

Sorry, I'm running late, it's time to go!

Anyway, I wish you all the best, and I hope Hedwig can bring back your reply.

You are faithful
