That night I had an extremely strange dream probably because of all the food I had eaten and the fact that I was sleeping in a strange bed.

I dreamt that the Sorting Hat ate Albus in one bite and a laughing Scorpius Malfoy had placed me under a freezing charm and forced me to watch.

I was forced to wake up at the ungodly hour of seven in the morning by Jane's alarm clock. I groaned loudly and buried my face into my pillow trying to block out the sound from the alarm clock.

"Will you please turn that off!" I asked annoyed.

Jane who was wide awake got out of her bed and began to lay out her uniform on her bed.

"Come, everyone, we have to get up or we're going to be late for our first day at Hogwarts." Jane announced.

With a sudden burst of energy, Abby checked watch on her wrist that she didn't take off the night before. Then she let out a whine.

"Nooooooooooo…" Abby looked as if she was going to cry. "It's only seven o'clock, why did you have to wake us?!"

Still with my head on my pillow, I said sleepily, "Jane, breakfast starts at eight and classes start at nine. Let me sleep for another hour."

Jane who had by now grabbed a towel and her dressing gown was making her way into the Ravenclaw girl dormitory bathroom said. "But you'll need time to get dress, shower, find the Great Hall again, eat breakfast, get our class schedules and go to class." Jane explained. She had it all planned out in her mind.

"But I am dressed." Abby said weakly pointing to her school robes that she had fallen asleep in.

"Really," Jane said crinkling her nose. "You're not going to change into your new set of Ravenclaw robes or shower?"

"Should I?" Abby asked sarcastically.

Jane sighed in defeat and walked into the bathroom.

I then suddenly felt hungry causing me to feel not tired anymore so I got out of bed and stretched. I checked Violet and Angela's beds but found no one in them. I turned to look in the mirror hanging next to my bed only to see a reflection that looked like something out of a muggle horror moving-picture-thing. It was me. My hair's bushiness had gone to full max, along with the added touch of it sticking out in every direction. I sighed and kneeled down next to my trunk to open it and found my hairbrush tucked under a clutter of books.

I attempted to brush my red out-control hair gently since I knew this was going to really hurt. I decided to brush the back of it first since the back is always the worst. I gently tried to untangle the back of my hair when disaster struck the brush got caught in my hair. Tears started to form in my eyes as I tried desperately to yank it out of my hair. But it just became more tangled and more painful, making me cry.

I started to panic. 'How am I going to get this stupid brush out of my hair, I don't have a spell for this! I am going to have to walk around Hogwarts for the whole day with a hairbrush stuck in my hair! I'm going to look like more of a mess than usual.' I thought.

I have to admit I'm not the kind of girl who spends hours on end perfecting her appearance nor do I really care, but I don't want to be going to class looking like a night troll.

I wiped my eyes and called Abby.

"Abby." I called trying not to sound panicked or upset.

"What?" she groaned from her bed, her eyes shut.

"A have a small problem." I lied.

"What is it?"

"Look at me and you'll see."

When Abby opened her eyes she looked like she was about to laugh but she didn't for the sake of me, what a true friend.

All she saw was the front, then I turned around and Abby burst out laughing, really what a true friend.

"Rose, that's not a small problem." She said laughing. "That's a… Actually, what is that in your hair?"

"My hairbrush, can you please help me?" I said very annoyed.

Abby jumped out of her bed and walked over to me and inspected the problem.

"Do you know the untangling charm?" I asked hopefully.

"Sorry, Rose, no." Abby said sympathetically. "Looks like we have to do this the old-fashioned way." She began rolling up the sleeves of her robes.

"Wait!" I told her as she was about to yank. "We should ask Jane if she knows it."

"Yeah, I forgot about her." Then Abby shouted at the top her lungs. "JANE!"

Right next to my ear, causing me to clap my hands over my ears.

"QUIT SHOUTING, ABBY, I'M IN THE SHOWER!" shouted Jane back angrily.

Abby, of course, ignored her.

"DO YOU KNOW THE UNTANGLING CHARM?!"

"THE UNTANGLING CHARM?"

"YES, THE UNTANGLING CHARM!"

I had a feeling that they probably woken up the whole castle.

"NO, THAT'S THIRD YEAR MATERIAL, I DIDN'T GET THAT FAR!"

Just then our dormitory door swung open to reveal the angry red face of a second year who's dormitory was across the from ours.

"STOP SHOUTING!" roared the angry second year. She then stomped out and slammed the door.

Then there was a moment of stunned silence, broken when Abby huffed.

"Well, that was uncalled for."

Jane then stepped out of the dormitory bathroom in her dressing gown, her dirty blonde hair wet.

"What was that all about?" she then looked my hair. "Oh."

"Yeah, I know, a second year breaks our door down and screams-" Abby complained.

"No, I didn't mean the shouting, Abby." Jane explained. "Rose, what happened to your hair?"

"I tried to brush it." I said weakly. "Which clearly didn't work out as I hoped it would."

"I was just about to rip this thing out Rose's hair." Abby. said I winced at the word rip.

"Don't be daft," Jane said to Abby. "All her hair would come off with it!" That sentence made me wince again.

Jane continued. "We could go to the Library? Ugghhh, we don't know where that is or what book we could use."

Then suddenly an idea popped into my head, one that was pretty stupid of me not to think of before.

"Victoire!" I exclaimed when I thought of it.

Abby laughed. "It's not a victory yet, Rose."

"No, I meant my cousin Victoire she's a seventh year and loves hair so she probably knows the charm."

And with that, the three of us walked out of our dormitory and down the Ravenclaw dormitory corridor to the seventh year girls dormitory. Abby was about to reach for the knob of the door to open it when Jane stopped her.

"We should knock."

Abby sighed and did a comedically rhythm knock.

The door was opened by one of Victoire's giggling friends. I don't know which one as they all seem the same to me. She immediately made a face at a wet Jane in a night grown and me with my hair like I don't know what.

Abby cleared her throat loudly.

"What do you want?" Victoire's friend asked rudely.

I answered. "I'm looking for Victoire. Is she in?"

The girl hesitantly turned and called Victoire. Victoire grinned when she saw us and walked out of her dormitory shutting the door behind her.

"Hey, Rose, I see you made friends." Victoire smiled flashing her perfect white teeth. "And managed to get yourself a new look." She laughed.

I pouted. "Victoire, do you know the untangling charm?"

"I do and I suppose you want me to untangle whatever that is?"

"Yes I do, and it's a hairbrush." I said annoyed.

Victoire then swiftly pulled out her wand from her robe pocket. She said the incantation and flicked her wand causing my hair to easily untangle and the hairbrush to fall to the floor with a bang.

"Thanks, Victoire." I said gratefully but she wasn't done yet with another two flicks of her wand my hair looked properly brushed and was plaited into a side braid.

Jane, Abby and I stared in awe.

"You got to teach us that!" Abby said.

"Yeah." Jane agreed. "Please."

Victoire laughed at our admiration. "Sure, but not now. I have to talk to Rose about something."

Being the nosy people they were Abby and Jane they were standing still there.

"Alone." Victoire added.

Getting the message Jane and Abby walked reluctantly back to our dorm. When Abby and Jane had gone into our dorm Victoire asked me,

"Have you talked to Albus?"

"No, I couldn't, he was too far away and I didn't have time." I answered.

"I was going to," Victoire said. "But I was too busy stopping James from going on a full rant to McGonagall about the Sorting Hat and demanding that Albus be resorted."

"James isn't taking it too well, then?"

"Definitely, I am going to try my best to keep James away from Albus until he cools down and accepts him in Slytherin. So do me favour and wheel Al away from James for me."

"Sure, Victoire. I'll talk to Al at breakfast see how he doing."

"Well, you better get going then." Victoire said as she looked at her watch. "See you, Rose, good luck with your first day."

"Bye Victoire, thanks again for the hair help." I said as I walked back to my dorm.
