"Astoria!" Daphne screamed as she repeatedly tried to press the 'on' button on the hairdryer. "Can I borrow your hairdryer? Please? It's an emergency!" She said, grabbing the dryer off her little sister's table without waiting for her to answer. She walked into the living room. Astoria was there, reading Ancient Runes again. Her pretty face was buried behind the book as she practiced translating. On the cover of the book, the name "Daphne Greengrass" was imprinted clearly.

"Stop reading my textbooks, Ria," Daphne snapped, snatching the book out of Astoria's hands. She packed it into her luggage bag again. "1 more hour till it's time to go. Start changing. You don't want to leave a bad impression on your first day of Second year, Ria" she nagged.

"Stop calling me Ria. You know my name is Astoria." Astoria complained, making sure her Ravenclaw tie was in her luggage bag. She sat on the sofa, waiting for her sister to finish so that they could go off to the platform. She could not wait to see her best friend Cho again.

She combed her silky black hair. Her sea blue eyes twinkled as she remembered her experience at Hogwarts the previous year. She could not wait to be second year.

Sometimes she wondered why she and her sister were so different. She was sorted Ravenclaw, was quiet and shy, while Daphne was Slytherin and just loved to talk a lot and was wild.

Astoria couldn't wait to be third year already. She couldn't wait to take up Ancient Runes.
