Beneath the surface
Nobody is stronger; nobody is weaker than someone who came back. There is nothing you can do to such a person because whatever you could do is less than what has already been done to him. We have already paid the price.
--Elie Wiesel

"So we have to eat at our house tables?" Sarah asked Mei. "Yea but after lunch, do you want to get together at the library?" Mei asked. "It's the first day and you think we'll have homework already?" Sarah asked quite stupidly. "No. But my friend is going to bring two of her new friends, and I decided to bring you. Will you come?" Mei asked as they walked down the first row and stopped. Just before they were about to part and go to different tables Sarah answered, "Sure, for a little while." They said good bye and they parted, Sarah sat down with her new plans at the Raven claw table.
Sarah took a dry piece of toast and shoved it down her throat. She took her bag and stood up again. As she walked towards the doors, she remembered the lake she saw before. Checking the time on the nearby wall clock, she noticed it was still 45 minutes until the first class would start. She decided she would go check it out.
Sarah rushed out of the great hall, down the halls, and out of the school. To her it seemed odd, being in the field when the other grades weren't walking up to the castle. It looked so much bigger without hundreds of students coming from off the train.
Quickly she walked to the edge of the lake. She had never been there before but it looked just as beautiful from far away as it did up close. Sarah took off her pack back and sat some ten feet from the edge of the water. She grabbed her locket that lay upon her neck and opened it.
The lake shined and sparkled even though no sun was visible. She tucked the locket back under robe and stood up with her back pack on her.
She stood tall though alone, starring out into the lake. The lake was still and Sarah moved to its edge. The stillness of the lake was broken as a single raindrop fell into it. But Sarah didn't notice that rain started to fall, she would have run back inside, but her gaze couldn't be broken.
"Dylan." She trained off. More rain drops followed but Sarah could pay no attention to them. The rain drops came more frequently as figures ran out across the field. "Hey kid!" One of them yelled. "Schools started!" he yelled again and ran off with his group to a green house. Sarah unwillingly broke her gaze with the lake and made a mad dash for the school.
A little wet she ran down the packed halls of kids who were laughing and screaming at each other. "Sarah!" A girl Sarah couldn't see yelled. "Sarah!" Sandy yelled again. She came from a group of sixth years who were going to their first class. "Here's your time table, we have the first class together!" Sandy jumped for joy. "That's great" Sarah pretended to be just as thrilled.
"I have to go to our room; I'll see you later, save me a seat!" Sandy turned to leave. "Later!" Sarah and Sandy split. Sarah looked at her schedule, "Potions first!" Sarah had done quite well in her old school at potions. She followed the other Raven claws to her first class.
