I have exactly 784 paintings of me in the castle, and surrounding area. My favorite one is in the Gryffindor common room. The laughs of first years discovering new spells and the secrets of the castle warm my heart. I look forward every year to the introduction cermony the headmaster gives. The wonder that fills eager eyes when a feast appears before them always puts a smile on my brush stroked face.

Right now I sit in my favorite spot, longing the arrival of the first years.

'First years this way! Keep up!' I heard the head boy Nick Watkins shout to the young Gryffindors,"Welcome to the Gryffindor common room. At breaks you may relax here, as well as sleeping time, and such. Girls dorms are on up the stairs on your left, boys same on your right. You'll find all your belongings have already been brought up. If you have any questions feel free to ask me or one of the other prefixes. Tomorrow you will find your robes and agenda. One more thing if you need information,and the library doesn't have what your looking for, the paintings are helpful in times of need. I'll leave you to find your beds now, are there any questions?"

At first nobody raised their hand, then a blonde boy slowly raised his.

"Yes..?"

"Peter, Peter Pettigrew."

"Yes, Peter."

"What about our owls? They can't just fly loose in the castle, can they?"

"Thats already been taken care of. All owls are in the owlery. Thats the tower on the east part. Best to visit in the morning, if I might add. Any other questions?" he paused a moment,"None? Then off to your beds. Your classes will begin Wednesday."

After all the chitter chatter calmed I managed to finally fall asleep. I had a fun year to look forward too.
