Allaine was ecstatic about the school year - actually arriving at Hogwarts had been a dream come true for her. Muggle-born as she is, she never even thought of a magical world existing, even though she grew up with fairy tales surrounding her little mind. She had reasoned that if those things do exist, they are in an alternate universe and definitely not hers.

Until a certain letter written on parchment with green ink changed her life forever.

Lost in thought, she recited the password to the portrait, climbed in -- and proceeded to trip over her own foot, landing face-first on the common room floor.
