Throughout the hat’s song, throughout the sorting and most importantly, throughout the headmistress’s speech, Lara has  been listening with rapt attention. It was only the applause ended, the feast appeared and she secured a nice helping of drumsticks, potatoes and some salad that she allowed her thoughts to drift. It was hard to imagine anybody other than the current Headmistress in charge of the school, but Lara often tried, not because their headmistress was anything except exceptional! They’d be hard pressed to find anybody better than McGonagall in Lara’s opinion! But, people are always talked about how amazing Dumbledore was! It’s impossible not to wonder what it was like when he was still alive and the headmaster of the school and Lara often found herself wondering what he was like as a person.

Naturally he was a great wizard, one of the best in fact, but was he arrogant about it? Humble? People would probably be less willing to shower him in praise if he was a prick, so he had to be at least a little nice, and he probably had a good sense of humour as well from what she could pick up from the occasional comment from the professors, like the Headmistress’s comment about the socks! Well, that or he probably just liked socks a lot, maybe both? Sighing as she took a bite of her food, she abandoned her character-study for the moment. A mystery such as the true character of Dumbledore is not one that she’ll be able to solve easily and will require much of her attention, something that she probably shouldn’t give in the middle of the welcoming feast lest she misses something important. No, it can wait until she’s in her room, instead her mind wanders to her first class. A smile crosses her mouth at the thought. She couldn’t wait!
