A few minutes later…
After Ruriko, Hanameel, Cole, Selena and the rest of the new and old students follow their fifth, sixth and seventh-years prefects (Vane Wallace, Jack Abel, Edmund Clark, Zoe Sybil, Penelope Clearwater and Alicia Pierce) out of the great hall, make their way up a huge spiral staircase to their new Ravenclaw room on the fifth floor (with 2 of the prefects talking and introducing the rooms to the first year students so they remember) and they stopped in front of a huge bronze-coloured door with no doorknob and keyhole but with an eagle-shaped, bronze-coloured knocker on the door.
"Um, excuse me. Why isn't there any doorknob or keyhole on the door?" asked Sally-Anne in confusion to one of the prefects.
"That's because this door doesn't have or need it. All we need to do to get in is by answering any kind of riddles from it. If we get it right, we can enter our room, if we get it wrong, we've no choice but to stay outside and wait for our head of house or our fellow roommates to open it for us, Perks." replied Jack calmly to Sally-Anne without looking at her.
"Yeah, what he said, newbie." said Vane.
"Hm, a door that only opens if you think and say the correct riddle… How interestingly boring." said Sedna in a bored tone of voice about the door.
"Maybe for you but not for me and for these other students my age at the same time. Still, having to think and say the correct riddle when we come out or come in is a bit troublesome." thought Ruriko with a slight annoy look on her face.
"How right you are, Ruriko." chuckled Siren.
"Oh, I see, thanks for the explanation." said Sally-Anne as she nodded at both Jack (who smiled and nodded back to her) and Vane before she and the others see the third male prefect, Edmund Clark knock on the door and then they heard am unknown man's deep voice talking to them from the door.
"What kind of music that people used, but can't see and can't touch?" asked the unknown man's voice to Edmund.
"A song." replied Edmund.
"Correct." said the unknown man's voice to Edmund before the door open up to allowed entrance to Ruriko and her fellow first year Ravenclaw students and as the 4 prefects and the older students ushered the new students into the room, they look around and saw that the room that they stepped into is a wide, circular room that resembled an observatory with dozens of velvet blue tables and matching velvet blue armchairs and a huge velvet blue carpet that completely covered the entire floor, dozens of bookshelves with many books on them lining the walls and with 2 staircases that leads to the boys and girls dormitory rooms, a tall white marble statue of Rowena Ravenclaw standing in the middle of the room, arched windows with velvet blue silk curtains on them and a domed ceiling with dozens of stars and a moon above them.
"Oh wow. It's…" said Selena as she look around the room with an awed look on her face.
"Impressive? Ostentatious? Marvelous? Wonderful? Which word do you pick for this room, Selena?" said Cole jokingly to Selena.
"…I suppose I'll pick the words "Impressive" and 'Wonderful" from among them, Cole." said Selena in a deadpan tone of voice to Cole.
"If you say so." said Cole as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Hm, this room is indeed impressive and wonderful as those two young ones said." said Sonya.
"I know and can see that they're right about the interior and décor of this room but it's a little too much different kinds of blue around the place, Sonya. What was Rowena Ravenclaw of Ravenclaw house is thinking before she decorated the place?" said Ruriko mentally back to Sonya.
"True. And probably possible that the colour blue belongs in Ravenclaw house or possible that Rowena Ravenclaw loves blue a lot?" said Sonya before she fell silent while, Ruriko, Hanameel, Cole, Selena and the other old and new students saw a slightly tan-skinned, light brown-eyed, white-haired (and moustache and long beard) tiny man wearing a long sleeve, full black robe stepped into the room and stopped in front of the students.
"Good evening and welcome to the Ravenclaw common room, First Years. I'm Professor Filius Flitwick, your Head of House." said the tiny man named Professor Flitwick happily and gently to the First Years before he proceed to explained the Ravenclaw house and common room and rules to the First Years, telling and encouraging them to do their bests in their magic and schoolworks and tests before Professor Flitwick bade goodnight to them before turning and walking out of the room.
Soon after Professor Flitwick bade goodnight to them and left the room, Ruriko, Hanameel, Cole, Selena and the rest of the First-Years split up and followed the Sixth-Years prefects Erasmus, Jake and Alicia up the 2 staircases to the 2 rooms, saw that the 2 rooms they entered is a smaller yet similar versions of their common room before they take a thorough look at each of their new individual bedrooms (that had a modest queen-sized bed with a small wooden table beside the bed, a wardrobe, a small desk and a small bookshelf with some books on it standing against the wall).
After Ruriko, Hanameel, Cole, Selena and the rest of the First-Years are done in checking out their new rooms and the furnitures in the rooms (and Morgana, they wasted no time in going to their trunks, opening and taking out, unpacking and putting their stuffs in the wardrobe, desk and on the other desk beside their beds before they take out their pajamas, quickly change into their pajamas before Hanameel, Cole, Selena and the rest of the First-Years climb into their new bed and soon fell asleep (while at the same time in Gryffindor and Hufflepuff houses, Professor Mcgonagall and a tan-skinned, light blue-eyed, short wavy grey-haired slightly plump-looking woman named Professor Pomona Sprout wearing a long sleeve light grey dress with matching short boots on her feet seeing and explaining the same thing to the new First Years sorted into their houses before they bade goodnight and left too) except for Ruriko, who take out and turned on her smartphone to call (and had a relief look on her face when her phone managed to turned on and get through to Sojiro without any magic interference and trouble) and tell Sojiro all about her first time in Hogwarts until she's done, turned off and put away her phone and fell asleep.

Inside Dumbledore's office…
"I'm glad to see that young Miss Potter did came to Hogwarts despite the fact that she's been living and staying in Japan the past few years after the Dursleys family left her there by herself, damn the Dursleys family! No matter about them anymore and now to make sure that she stays here and not going back to Japan to see and be with her Japanese family and friends for the holidays since she's still a British citizen and the last living member of the Potter bloodline and convinced her to stay with any of the "Light" families that's loyal to me, hopefully the Weasley family." thought Headmaster Dumbledore with a pleased smile on his face while a magnificent bright reddish and orange-coloured Pheonix bird standing on a bronze perch stand is watching in disapproval at Headmaster Dumbledore.

Meanwhile, in an unknown place…
Ruriko opened her eyes, look around and saw that she's sitting on a velvet blue armchair inside a room that resembled and reminds Ruriko of the nurse office room with a round, velvet blue table with a bizarre-looking, short white-haired, large bloodshot-eyed, long nosed elderly man wearing a black suit and white gloves on his hands is sitting on a couch on the other side of the table with a pale-skinned, platinum bonde-haired (which is tied up into a ponytail), yellow-eyed handsome-looking man wearing a long sleeve velvet blue button-up shirt, blue hat on the top of the man's head, long black pants and black shoes on his feet.
"Welcome to the Velvet Room, my dear young girl." said the bizarre-looking, elderly man to Ruriko. "My name is Igor… I am delighted to make your acquaintance and it seems that you're an intriguing guest that's going to have a lot of hard time from others." said the elderly man as he introduced himself to Ruriko. "This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter – it is a room that only those who are bound by a "contract" may enter." added Igor to Ruriko.
"Right, nice to meet you too, Igor-san." said Ruriko as she nodded back at Igor, who spend the next few minutes talking and listening to him before Ruriko started to feel drowsy, close her eyes and and fell back into unconsciousness.
