Aoife thought Castle Black sounded like a nice place to live, but she already missed the sea while living at Hogwarts and in the near-by town. She couldn't imagine living away from the sea forever.

She shyly waved goodbye to Avice and made her way towards her own house table. She found the biggest gap and sat in the middle of it. The people in her house never tried to talk to her in the great hall or in the common room so she thought it best to sit as far from them as posible. She looked up where the teachers sat, spotting the librarian she smiled and thought of all the things she would learn this year.
