Padma enjoyed

Padma gasped as the Hat sent Parvati away from her. Surely twins were supposed to be together?

Finding her way on her own in Ravenclaw was hard. Parvati – so much braver, more confident than she –coped better in Gryffindor.

But as time went on, Padma began to establish herself. She made friends – her own friends, not shared with Parvati. She found how much easier it was to work without Parvati giggling beside her. She gained in confidence in being a person in her own right.

By the end of her first year, Padma realised she enjoyed being on her own.
