Chapter 4

All the first awkwardly stumbled through the door, and hurried to look inside. The common room was a deep, rich blue. The ceiling was charmed to look like stars, and there was a huge fireplace that was surrounded by large comfy blue chairs. On the walls there were Ravenclaw banners. On another side of the room was a walk covered in bookshelves groaning under the weight of so many books. In a corner of the room there were two staircases. One was a dark blue and the other a bronze. The prefects guided the kids over to these staircases.

"This bronze staircase is for the men, and the blue is for the women. First year dorms are the first doors as you go up. As you continue at Hogwarts you will gain another level up until you have the best views in the school as seventh years. You may stay down in the common room for however long you would like, but you may not leave the common room after 10 p.m. every night. Next year you will get a longer curfew. Any questions?" The prefect said all this slowly as most of The first years were not listening due to the fact that they were so amazed at the common room.

No first year spoke. So the prefect nodded and strode off. Rose, Albus, Alice, and Scorpius all grouped together, and started discussing what they should do.

"I don't know about you, but I am dying to see my dorm. How about we go up and explore, and then we can come down and talk until we are tired?" rose said.

The other three nodded. So the foursome separate and went up to their rooms. When Rose and Alice entered the dorm, they saw three other girls in the dorm, talking and putting away their things. One girl had long, brown, curly hair. She had hazel eyes and was on the taller side of the spectrum. She was quite pretty and had dimples. The second girl was Indian and had long black hair. Her hair seemed to be originally wavy and curly, but the girl appeared to have brushed it out, so it was one giant fluffy mass. She had a large overbite, but was undeniably pretty. The final girl had long straight dirty blond hair. Her eyes were not blue per se, but were mixed blue and grey with streaks of yellow. She seemed fairly nice. After standing in the door way for a minute, Rose spoke.

" Hello! You all just be out dorm-mates! My name is Rose and this is Alice! What are your names? The curly haired girl answered first.

"My name is Emorie, and this is Emma (pointing to the Indian girl) and Jane( pointing to the third girl.)"

" Well, it is nice to meet you. Which beds should we take? " Rose asked earnestly.

"Well," Jane responded, "No one wanted the beds by the windows, so if you wouldn't mind could you take those?"

"Perfect!" Alice now had recovered herself and now chimed in.

The beds were four posted beds with deep blue sheets. They also had curtains hanging off of them so that the girls could have privacy of they wanted. Connecting to the room, there was a restroom. There were two toilet stalls,one shower, and two vanities. When Rose was finally settled she asked Alice if she wanted to come downstairs with her. Alice said she was too tired to even stand anymore, so rose went downstairs alone. The boys were already down there when rose came into the common room . They were in a cushy blue sofa farthest on one side of the room close to the fire. Rose plopped so n on the couch in between them, saying:

" Isn't it hard to believe it was just this morning that we were at our homes, and now we are at Hogwarts! It feels like it has been a lifetime since then. "

" I didn't even know you all this morning, but it feels like we have been friends for ages! " Scorpius responded.

So the three of them talked over the day and all wondered together what would happen tomorrow, and how much they would enjoy their heads at Hogwarts. Finally, after it was well last midnight and all the other students had gone to bed, the trio headed upstairs. Each to their own bed, so as to get a good night's sleep for the next day. They had already made plans to meet downstairs at 7:30 the next day, so that they could all go eat breakfast together.

The next morning...

Rose some up to her alarm the next morning. For a moment she didn't realize where she was. Then she realized that today was her first day at Hogwarts! She hopped out of bed and hurried to get ready. Rose had showered the night before a s due to her mother's thick hair genes, her hair was still wet. All she had to do was brush it, put it in a bun, and go. Rose baited having hair in her face, a trait she had learned from her mother, so when someone saw her with her hair down, it was a special occasion. When Rose got downstairs it was 7:30 on the dot. Surprisingly Al and Scorp were both already down there.

"Al, you were able to drag yourself out of bed to be in time? I am impressed."

" When I try i am able too, " Al said with a smirk.

" Liar! " Scorp interjected, " I dragged him out of bed 10 minutes ago. "

Rose sighed. She could already see this becoming a daily argument for the next few years.

The trio then began their descent down to the great hall. They even made it there without losing their way! Alice was already there when the trio arrived. She had women early to go talk with her parents, as both of them worked at the school. The trio sat themselves down on the benches, and started feasting on eggs, bacon, and pancakes. It was then that they saw professor McGonagall walk up to the podium.

"Attention, students! Your house proffesors will now be walking around handing you your schedules please do not loose these until you have committed them to memory!" Saying this, McGonagall pointedly looked at James Potter.

After they had finished eating, the four Ravenclaws spotted proffesor scamander. She was handing out the schedules. Rose, walked up to her and said:

"Hello Aunt Luna!"

" Oh, hello, Rose! Lovely day isn't it? I suppose you are wanting your schedules. Here you are deer! " Saying this she handed the four of them their schedules and walked off.

The four Ravenclaws had the same schedule.

Monday:

First period - Charms with Hufflepuff

Second period - Flying with Gryffindor

Third Period - Potions with Slytherin

Lunch

Fourth Period- Transfiguration with Gryffindor

Fifth period - Herbology with Hufflepuff

"Well, I guess we better be getting to charms," Rose said.

" It doesn't start till 9! It is 8:15! " Albus responded.

"There is nothing wrong with being on time. Also we will probably become lost, so we will get there just in time."

It was true, they got there at 8:59.
