Serena was filled with a joyous feeling. This year was going to be wonderful. She couldn't wait. Eve walked in and Serena waved at her. 

"Hey Eve!" She giggled and turned back to Alin, her best friend. She had so many surprised for him, she wanted to burst out and tell him everything. Except everything wasn't ready, and she'd hate to ruin the surprise. Serena was in an extremely good mood, everything was going right. Quidditch practice was even coming up soon. That was where she would show the world that the Hufflepuff house is wonderful and worthy of praise. She could feel it between her fingers. Soon no one would be picking on Hufflepuffs. Serena couldn't stop grinning. She was a beacon of happy energy that could light up the whole room. Her eyes glittered with joy.
