I was eleven years and a first-year,
Wide-eyed and wandering Hogwarts’ halls.
It was midnight when a voice cried near here,
From one of the second-floor bathrooms’ stalls.

Alas, it was Moaning Myrtle — a ghost!
Still, her haunting groans shook me to my core;
Still, just Peeves’ mischievous mischief at most.
Then six feet shuffled in and opened the door.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
