Elisabeth sat up and sighed. Her first day of classes. She got out of
bed and changed quickly, then went and woke Caroline up.
"What time is it?" Caroline asked groggily.
"7.30." Elisabeth replied cheerfully.
"Class doesn't start till 8."
"If you want your mail you better get up right now."
"You could just get my mail for me." Caroline said, stretching and getting up.
"No, I couldn't. I don't even want to get up to get my own mail."
Caroline got dressed and the two of them walked down to the common room together. They were joined by Vivyann who informed them the boys had already gone down for breakfast.
"Thanks for waiting for us." Elisabeth said as they walked down to the Great Hall. "I don't imagine we could find the Great Hall."
"You've been her for three days!"
"Yeah, and for the past three days we ended up in the dungeons everytime we tried to find anything." Caroline said.
Vivyann laughed. "I could find the Great Hall with my eyes closed. And I would rather walk down there with you guys than with Derrick. All he talks about is broom power. He flies a Nimbus 3000A so he thinks he's a big shot."
Elisabeth laughed. "My dad flies an IceLantern360."
Vivyann stopped. "You have got to be kidding."
"Nooo.his captain got it for him."
"Wait. Your dad plays Quidditch professionally?"
"Er, yeah, for the Wasps. I thought everybody knew that."
"What position does he play?"
"Seeker."
"Your dad is Harry Potter?"
"Yes, hence my last name."
"I just thought-I mean-Oh. My. God. Harry Potter? The Harry Potter?"
"Yes, the Harry Potter, the one who killed Voldemort and left the wizarding world behind. That Harry Potter."
"My dad knew him, Viktor Krum?"
"Sorry, I'm new to this whole thing, who is your dad?"
"Viktor Krum, he played Quidditch for Bulgaria, he competed in the Tri-Wizard Cup with your dad, they kept in touch until your dad went back to muggle-dom."
"Oh wow, I'll have to ask my dad when I send him an owl at the end of the day."
"I can't believe you didn't know it was her!" Caroline exclaimed.
"I just didn't put it all together until now. God, I'm so stupid!"
"Don't worry about it. When I found out my dad was a wizard all I could think about was who would buy our house."
The three of them laughed and sat down at the table.
"Pass me the orange juice Daniel."
"Well good morning sunshine!"
"Shut up and pass me the frigging juice."
"Didn't get enough sleep last night?" Daniel asked after Elisabeth had drank her juice and had a bit of toast.
"I could have gone to bed a three in the afternoon and seven would still be too early."
"I know how you feel." Will said, pulling the sleeve of his robes out of his oatmeal.
"You'll get used to it." Vivyann said, pouring herself a glass of juice.
"No you won't." Caroline said, looking at Derrick, sleeping on the table.
"What do we have first?" Daniel asked, pulling his timetable out of his bag.
Elisabeth was quicker. "Double Herbology with the Hufflepuffs."
"Oh joy of joys." Wiliam said. "An hour of Uncle Neville."
"We do get to see Moira."
"What's wrong with Neville?" Elisabeth asked.
"He gets all excited when he's talking about plants and he doesn't understand why everyone else doesn't find the same joy in undiluted bobotuber pus."
"Well he did make that one discovery, those mushrooms that can heal or kill or whatever."
"Oh yeah, those Verseptical thingies or whatever." William said, peering down his robes, lokking for the piece of toast he dropped down them.
Elisabeth looked up as the mail flew in. Two letters dropped into her lap. She opened the first one, form her father right away, tucking the one from Hermione into her pocket.
Dear Lis,
Sorry this letter is so short, I'm really busy right now, Lavender is helping me pick out furniture and Ron and Seamus are helping me paint the walls of our NEW HOUSE. Anyway, congratulations for getting into Ravenclaw. They always were smarter than us. Did you get the gift I left for you?
Much love, Daddy
Elisabeth scrawled a quick note back to her dad, thanking him for the cloak and then she got up to go to her first class.
