I woke up early the next morning, which was REALLY unusual for me. I figured it was because it was the first day of classes, so I shouldn't get used to it being this easy to get up in the morning. I woke up, took a quick shower, and then dried my hair. I put on my school robes for the first time, and sat on my bed to wait for my other roommates to be ready to go.
Grace, and Lynn were the only other two girls in my dorm besides Emma. I had never met Grace before, but Lynn was my dad's friend from school's daughter, so I sort of knew her. We had all talked last night about our expectations and fears for today. They seemed really nice, and it was going to be fun to actually have girls around.
We had all promised to go down to breakfast together, so we left a little early in case we got lost. We eventually got to the Great Hall after ten minutes of walking. We sat down towards the middle of the Gryffindor table and started to eat. I piled chocolate chip pancakes on my plate and dug in.
"Hey Fire! How's your morning been so far?" Johnny asked as he sat down next to me.
"It's been great … we were only lost for like 4 minutes." I said excitedly
"Oh that's good, who are your new friends?... Hey Emma." Johnny said with a smile.
My friends started giggling as I introduced them. "That's Lynn Jordan, and that's Grace Creevy."
"Nice to meet you ladies, so Fire have you gotten your schedule yet?"
"Not yet .. have you?"
"Yeah and I have ancient runes first, so I better get going … good luck today, and don't forget to write mum and dad when you can. Love you, Saph!" He said with a wave.
"We over slept, has your dad given us our schedules yet Em?" Joey asked Emma as he and Jake came over and starting stacking the food on their plates.
"Not yet, but I think he's coming now." … she finished right as he walked up to our table.
"Morning … here's the Gryffindor schedule for first years." He said handing us all a schedule. "I saved you guys for last, so I could walk you to class. … If you want me to?" he said questioningly to Emma.
She smiled and said, "Thanks Professor Longbottom, that'd be great." We all stood up and followed him to potions, our first class of the day. We followed behind Professor Longbottom silently, because we were all a little nervous. We finally arrived and all went in the dungeon. "See you in Herbology later Dad." She said as we went in to our first class at Hogwarts.
We were a little early, but I noticed a couple Slytherin were in there. The kid that smiled at me, looked over as Emma, and I sat down in the seat in front of him and the Malfoy boy. Joey and Jake sat at the table next to us, and Lynn and Grace sat in front of us.
Lynn turned around and giggled, "Sapphire! You didn't tell us your older brother was so handsome!"
"More like devastatingly charming! Did you see his smile??" Laughed Grace.
I stared at her with my mouth open for a second and Joey, Jake, and Emma started dying of laughter. "Are you talking about Johnny? The boy who sat next to me at breakfast? You think he is … is … EW!"
Lynn and Grace both nodded and giggle, but didn't say much more. Joey got up and walked over to me. "Oh Fire! I think your brother is just so HUNKY! Tell him to ask me out!" he joked as he kneeled down in front of me. The girls both blushed and stuck their tongues out at him. I hit Joey on the arm and said, "Joseph sit down in your seat this instant. You're embarrassing yourself. Just think of what the Slytherins think of you now already."
"I don't care what they think," he said as he headed towards his seat/
Right then the teacher came in. He was a really tall guy, who looked about my dad's age. He didn't smile once as he went through the rules, and I couldn't remember what his name was, so I asked Emma. "Professor Craven, I think he said," she whispered back.
I looked at Emma and tried not to laugh, his short black hair was the color of a Raven, and his nose almost looked like a bird beak… "Here are your books, class. Make sure you bring it to every class, or don't even bother coming." He said as he passed them out "… now take notes on everything I say." … he didn't seem too friendly.
Next we made our way to Herbology. We had this class with Ravenclaw, so Preston was there. We had a lot of fun, because all we did was repot some flowers that had grown over the summer. We did nothing dangerous.
We all sat together at lunch, and ate quickly. Ty and Trev came over and asked how my day has been, and they didn't even make fun of me once … weird.
After that we headed off to transfiguration. Professor McGonagall was still the teacher, because she just couldn't give it up. She was very strict, but she said she promoted house unity, so we had to sit by someone from another house. I went over to a girl with blonde hair sitting near the front, "Hey, well my name is Sapphire Weasley, can I sit here?" I asked with a nervous smile.
She smiled back, "Of course! My name is Tiffany Issca … it's nice to meet you."
While Professor McGonagall passed out the books we continued to talk. "So what classes have you gone to today?" I asked her.
"I went to potion, charms, and then here … where did you go second period?" she asked
"I went to herbology … it was fun. All you did was repot plants. Nothing scary. Did you have to sit with people in the other houses in charms? Because I have that with Hufflepuff tomorrow and I don't know anyone from that house …?"
"No … you can sit where ever you want, but you didn't know me either … so I guess it couldn't turn out too bad." She said with a smile.
During class all we did was take notes, and practice a wand movement for tomorrow's class. After class Emma, Joey, Jake, and I went to dinner, and the twins asked about my day again. This time they were just being obnoxious, "Just remember, if you ever need us, ASK!" Tyler yelled across the great hall as we got up to go back to the common room, but he was still eating.
We then returned to the common room. I was exhausted from my long day, but I decided I had to write my parents.
Dear Mum and Dad,
Sorry, that I sent such a short letter last night, and just wrote what house I was in. I was just really tired, and had to sort my thoughts out first, before I wrote them down. I'm so excited to be in Gryffindor with my brothers and most of my cousins. I share a room with Emma and then two girls I met today. Lynn Jordan and Grace Creevy. They seem really nice. Today I got up on time mum, I know you were worried, but you didn't need to because I was on time for breakfast. Today I had Potions, Herbology, and Transfiguration. They were just introduction classes, so there's not a lot to say besides I really think I'm going to like it! In Transfigurations Professor McGonagall made us sit by the people in the other house, and we have that class with Slytherin. I met this really nice girl named Tiffany … we got along well. I'm really excited about the new school year. I promise to keep up with my studies. The twins are actually being nice for once. At lunch they didn't even make fun of me once … weird, huh? I'm really tired though, so I'm going to go to sleep.
Night, I love you, Sapphire
P.s. Don't worry dad … I haven't talked to ANY boys … outside of the Gryffindor house … yet.
So the next chapter in this story is also the last, but i think it's my favorite chapter i've ever written for any story ... so be pumped! I'll update when I get reviews. ~Grace
