Hermione Granger stood before the train that would start her journey of a lifetime. She was a very special case because her parents were what the wizarding world called, "muggles", people who are unable to use magic. She got a visit from a witch called Ms. McGonagall informing Hermione of the world of magic. She got on the train and looked for an empty booth to sit. The girl didn't find one, but she encountered a boy named Neville Longbottom, who was willing to share a booth with her. They engaged in some conversation, mostly about what they think Hogwarts will be like and what house they hoped they would be sorted in. Finally the train halted to a stop and everyone got off. The entered Hogwarts which turned out to be a large castle, a headed towards the dining hall. After Hermione and the first years were sorted by the sorting hat, (she was placed into Griffindor,) te headmaster, Dumbledor spoke. "This year I believe will be an interesting one. Because of the incident last year, including some slytherins sneaking into the forest, we decided to improve security." Turning to the man who led them across the lake in the boats, the man nodded removing a sheet covering something behind him. Under the sheet was a tall, thin, robot, with a puppet ascetic and a mask with two red cheeks. It turned on soon after with creepy white pupils for eyes. "Thanks to Hagrid," the headmaster continued, "we have this robot that will monitor the hallways and make sure that no one will go where they are not supposed to. Don't worry my students, it will in no way harm you. If you are lost, try to locate it because it will help you find your way." He said other things about the school year but Hermione couldn't stop staring at the robot. Even after she left, she couldn't stop wondering about it. She somehow knew that it was more than it seemed to be. She just didn't know how.
