Dream
It seemed like the setting was Hogwarts. We didn't have wands or cloaks or school outfits, but something made it seem like we were there. I was with a bunch of students. Mind you, I don't have many friends and all of these students, like people in reality, only really liked me for my smartness. I knew we were going to try to sneak into the Slytherin house but unsure why. There wereany big metal doors in a line that housed a room with a single question written on a small screen on the side wall. It started as one door on the outside of the wall. In order to get to the next room, you have to answer the question correctly the first time, otherwise... Something else happens. We weren't aware of that second part, only that the questions needed to be answered accordingly like a riddle. Me and a few students enter the first room. We seemed the smartest of the bunch so we were put in first. I figured out the answer, and let a few others through from the outside before saying the answer out loud. The answer was "first". The second big metal door opened to the second room. Each room is identical, and since the doors are big heavy metal, they take a while to open and close, we decided someone (me) would go ahead and look and try to answer all the quiz questions first and someone in the back would make sure all the non-slytherin students got through. Everyone was giggling and shushing and having a good time. It seemed like all of the answers were the word "first", even though that answer wouldn't make sense in some cases. So I just yelled "first" through each door as it opened and it would open the next door too. A crowd of students pushed passed me and wondered how I got the answers so quickly. I said "all of the answers are first. Just keep saying it" and laughing along the way. It seemed like everyone pushed passed me and I was the last person of the group but I wasn't determined to lete down so I just kept going like I was having fun for once doing something I wasn't supposed to. Usually I am a rule follower but with a whole bunch of accomplices I felt better doing something 'bad' (haha). I don't remember what exactly happened at the last door, however, it seemed like I was the last person standing. I knew I was one door behind everyone else, and that's all I knew. I didn't hear anyone anymore either, so they couldn't be behind the next door. So instead of saying "first" at this door, I quietly, and somehow instinctually knew to say "last", and the door opened. It didn't open into another small room with a question though, it opened into the most gorgeous room I've ever seen. All black furniture, leather couches, modern tables, black and white rugs in top of a black stained wood flooring, and walls that had black diamonds with silver lining. Above each table there was a silver chandelier with dim pure white lights to barely light the room. I walked very slowly in awe around the room, but there was absolutely no one. I felt alone and embarrassed, even though I was the only person in the room, but incredibly intrigued and amazed by what I saw.
