I sincerely apologize for the absence. My computer was taken away for a month. Took me awhile to get back in the writing mode. Not my best, but I still hope you enjoy it!

Student: Kevin Entwhistle
Prompt: Mind
Entwhistle, Kevin
Kevin climbed the stairs leisurely, going over all the historical facts he had just studied. He could never remember the differences between the goblin rebels. He would never use this information when he became a Healer.
At the top of the stairs, a first-year glared at the bronze eagle knocker. Kevin instantly felt pity, for he remembered when he would get stuck in front of the door because he couldn't answer a question. Standing there for what seemed like ages until another person came along. Plus, there was the feeling of humiliation when that person said the right answer and he had felt like he didn't belong in Ravenclaw.
He put his hand gently on the first-year's shoulder. "Excuse me, miss, but what's the question?" The girl looked at him in shock and instead of answering, pulled at the knocker instead.
"What is the mind?"
The mind? Kevin chuckled. To most, the question would provoke some thought, and the answer would be well reasoned. But for him, he could only think of one text-book answer.
"The mind is what the brain does."
"Indeed." The door swung inward and revealed the common room. The first-year lowered her head in shame, for the answer had seemed so easy. Kevin gave her shoulder a squeeze and smiled.
"My mom's a psychologist," he said, giving the first-year a gentle push into the common room. She stumbled forward nervously and turned to him with one question.
"What's a psychologist?"
I know I have been gone...(SO SORRY)... but please still review! It's very important that I get feedback. :)
