Friday, August 15
Melody woke the next morning in a large canopy bed. Her heart jumped in fear. Where am I?
A ghost floated through the door and Melody bit back a scream.
"Hello." The ghost said sweetly.
"H-HI." Melody stuttered backing up until her back was against the headboard.
"I'm Gray Lady, The Ravenclaw house ghost." The ghost said, "The Headmaster Dumbeldore asked me to check up on you." She smiled down at Melody as if she knew her.
"I'm at Hogwarts, then?" Melody asked.
"Yes." The Gray Lady answered.
Melody's stomach growled loudly.
"I'll send a house elf up with some food." She said and floated out.
Melody sat Indian-style on the bed wondering what she should do. The room was fairly large and made of gray stone. The walls were covered with colorful tapestries one of each season. A large plush blue carpet covered the floor, with the Hogwarts crest in the middle of the room. Over the crest was a small round wood table and two chairs with cushioned seats. On top of the table there was a richly colored vase of an assortment of flowers. Next to the vase of a pile of neatly folded cloths and a pair of Oxford shoes.
Next to the bed was a mahogany mini dresser nightstand, a candle rested in a small brass candleholder. Next to the candle was a stack of books that Melody guessed was schoolbooks. On the right wall near the bed was a medium sized dresser with six drawers and a large round mirror hanging above it. On top of the dresser was an assortment of hair things and brushes.
Melody stood in front of the mirror and poked around the things on top of the dresser.
"Oh dear, what happened to you?" a voice asked.
Melody jumped in surprise and turned around, no one was there.
"Behind you dear." The voice said.
Melody turned back around confused.
"I'm the mirror dear."
Melody's eyes widened, "You talk?"
The mirror gave a soft chuckled, "It's just an enchantment m'dear."
"Wizards are such odd creatures." She said shaking her head.
The mirror laughed delightfully.
"You must be new to the way of the wizards."
Melody nodded.
"Well let's get you fixed up. I'd suggest a shower first m'dear. I believe it's behind the winter tapestry."

A/N: Okay I know this was incredibly short, but I couldn't think of much else for her to do that day. Any who the next chapter actually skips to something like two day's before term starts, and it might be compiled of actually two day's since they kinda blend in, or I'll just leave you hangin', and the next chapter will be just as short.
