You Started Hogwarts the Same Year as Harry Potter

You get your Hogwarts letter in 1991, the very same year as Harry Potter, and the Sorting Hat puts you in Slytherin. By Halloween there's a troll loose in the castle, your teacher has fainted on the floor, and that is only the start of your first year. This is the whole of Harry's first year, told from the seat next to him: the barrier at King's Cross, the boats across the black lake, the Sorting, Dumbledore's warning about the third-floor corridor, trick staircases, Peeves, Snape's Potions class, the flying lesson that went wrong, two Quidditch matches, a quiet Christmas, a 150-point disaster, very strange exams, and the end-of-year feast where Slytherin was sure it had won the House Cup. So what would you have done on troll night: follow the prefect, or go looking for the troll? Tell Dusty in the comments.
