Sam sat back onto the bench, abandoning his omelette to the rest of the post-breakfast mess. There was barely anyone left at the Hufflepuff house table. Sam just simply wasnt hungry. Every other first year was ravenous after their huge day, with first lessons and exploring the grounds. He had done none of that. For some odd reason, he was with the most amount of people he had ever been with in his life and yet he was so desperately lonely. It was as though his individuality was gone, replaced with the chaos of diversity that usually made everyone at home. Most people had found a friend immediately but Sam, shy as always, remained hidden as though invisible. Now it was not only girls who frightened him it was everyone.
His omelette remained untouched as his mind floated back to the only thing he had been thinking about these days; Siobhan. He didnt even know her full name, yet he had never felt so free to talk and laugh with anybody else. Of course, Sasha was sweet as well, and she was introducing him to her friends. It seemed he would fit into a group before long. It wasnt the same, though. Siobhan was a sprig of babys breath in a field of poppies; all so loud and colourful, but one, unique secret that remained his.
This was all Sams imagination though, and he knew it. He had caught glimpses of her from time to time, and not having the courage to call out, he witnessed this firecracker of colour and laughter float about the room like a butterfly. He couldnt approach that sort of girl. So what was he to do? He absent-mindedly took a swig of pumpkin juice.
