It was the end of the first day of term.
Following dinner in the great hall, all the students were heading back to their common rooms. The dark and winding corridors were full of students, conversing with their friends about what they had been up to over the summer. Malin Ramsay had made a quick escape out of the great hall before everyone filed out. She arrived at the Slytherin common room before anyone else and headed straight to her dormitory.
She didn't want to sit around the common room when she knew hardly anything about her classmates, despite now being a fifth year. She wasn't rude and thought of herself above everyone else. In fact, quite the opposite.
Malin was born on the south coast of England, in a small village not far from Bournemouth. An only child, she astounded her parents by her magical talents. Her upbringing by her parents was one full of love, pride and she was never made to feel strange because of the magical things she seemed to do. Deep down, Mr & Mrs Ramsay knew their daughter was different. They knew their daughter was a witch. The day that letter fell onto their doormat, addressed to their daughter in such beautiful handwriting & the solid red wax stamp on the reverse, they knew their little girl was destined to lead a much different life to other girls her age.
At age eleven, Malin began to learn more and more about the world she was about to discover. She knew that some people in her world would look at her in disgust. I mean after all, why should a muggle born be allowed to study magic?
After what she had heard and studied about Hogwarts before she arrived, she was shocked and scared when she had been sorted into Slytherin house, especially when the few people she had begun talking to on the train had been sorted into other houses; the very intellectual yet slightly cocky brunette girl being sorted into Gryffindor and the nervous, giggly boy (Malin was never good at remembering names) being sorted into Ravenclaw.
She had read a lot about Slytherin. The history of Salazar Slytherin and his dislike of muggle born witches and wizards put her on edge. It was history, surely things had changed since then.
A socially awkward girl, Malin had never really made any friends since being here, but she was ok with that. She had a few acquaintances that she spoke to every so often and always worked with the same equally socially awkward young wizard in classes.
It was the beginning of fifth year. She had made it this far without too much concern to her blood status, although she constantly felt that she wasn't good enough to be here, especially with family's such and the Goyle's and the Malfoy's sharing a common room, constantly bitching about how muggle born are scum.
