Who: Padma and Shaela Where: Dungeons When: Saturday early afternoon What: This is Padma's first full day at Slytherin Academy and she is scared and confused. Why: To introduce Padma into the game! Rating: Pg for now.
Padma had been having a rough few days. Well, the past three years had been tough enough being on the run and constantly on edge, but now that she had messed up and been captured she knew it was only going to get worse. She had been hiding from the Ministry since she was 16, her parents not wanting their daughters going to Slytherin Academy, had sent Padma and her sister off to hide. They were not that good at at hiding at first, but after awhile got passable. They hid the best they could during the day and then ran safely under the cover of darkness at night.
Padma could not believe that she had let her parents and sister down like this by getting caught. She had been hiding safely enough in some bushes when a little rat decided it wanted to bite her leg. She tried to stifle her shriek, but it was no use, a snatcher had heard her. So here she was in this strange castle, feeling very confused and alone. She knew her sister was probably here, but she had not seen her yet.
Padma did not know what to do, so she did the only thing she could think of, which was meditate. Her Hindu belief was the only thing that kept her going the past year without her sister. Whenever she stressed or scared she turned to her religion in order to bring her peace. So here she was sitting on the floor cross legged and eyes closed. She started chanting and singing softly in Indian, not realizing anyone was listening to her until she felt someone touch her.
