It's funny how so many, many things change over the years, but the castle is still exactly the same. The Slytherin common room is fabulous, as always, and although there seems to have been a bit of change in some of the towers (do I even want to know what happened?). I've been here a few days, and I'm still trying to get used to the idea that it's the second millennium.

So! To get me started, because it's going to be impossible to tell people apart, what about all of you tell me something interesting about yourselves. I'll start, my name is Melinda Bobbin, and I came here with my wand, a towel and that's about it. Talk about a way to start of the year!
