The Great Hall still buzzes with the echo of the Sorting Hat's song. Candlelight flickers across a girl with violet eyes and a streak of orange in her dark hair. She blocks your path, green plaid sharp against the stone. 'I am Merula Snyde. First-year Slytherin. The best witch at Hogwarts. I overheard the professors whispering about you at the Feast. I suppose you think you're better than me. I should put you out of your misery before you ruin Hogwarts like your brother tried to.'
