"Lily! come on, we're going to expolore
the dorm!" Carissa shouted from the other side
of the common room.
"Okay! I'm
coming!" Lily said, running to catch up with the others.
They climbed up a
winding staircase, looking for the right dormitory. Finally they reached their
dormitory, which was right at the top of the tower. There was a sign over the
doorway that said 'first years'.
"Well, here it
is." Jody-Louise said, opening the door. Inside were eight four poster
beds with red hangings and they're trunks had already been brought up.
"Good
service!" Razz said, jumping onto the bed where her trunk was at.
"Let's go to
bed," Lucy said, throwing herself onto her own bed,"We
have our first classes tomorrow."
"I'm not going to
bed until i know everything about this room."
Razz said pulling open her wardrobe.
"Okay, there is
your wardrobe and there is the bathroom, and on that windowsill is a pitcher of
water for when you are thirsty in the night, now I'm going to bed." Anna
said, closing the hangings on her bed.
Everyone else did the same, even Razz couldn't hold out of sleep any longer.
The next
morning, the girls got up to bright sunshine.
"What t-time is
it?" Lily asked, failing to stifle a yawn.
"8'O
clock." Anna
said.
"let's
go get some breakfeast, classes start in an hour."Lucy told them. The girls agreed and made their
way to the Great Hall.
"Mm-it smells
good!" Razz said. They sat down at the end of the table and began to eat.
Minutes later, Professor McGonagall came by and gave
them their class schedules.
Carissa groaned,"we have Defense Against the Dark Arts with the Slytherins!"
"Morning
girls!" James said, walking down to where they were sitting. He stopped
when he saw there bitter faces.
"What's the matter?
Not enjoying your stay?" he asked.
"our
first class is with the slytherins." Lily
explained.
"Man,
that sucks!" Sirius said, taking a seat next to TK. They finished
there Breakfast and slouched over to Transfiguration.
Lily's mind was taken of
the Slytherins as they made there way up to the
Transfiguration classroom. The walls were lined with pictures and to Lily's amazment the people moved as freely as they wanted and here
and there were suits of armor that spoke.
"Let's go through
this tapestry, we'll get there faster." James said, pulling it aside to
let the others through.
"How do you know
about this? You have never been in this school before!" Jody-Louise said,
looking at him suspiciously. James just smiled, a very
secret smile.
They reached
the Transfiguration classroom with no problems, except for one thing; they were
five minutes late.
"Your
late! 10 points from Gryffindor!"
Professor Mcgonagall said sharply. The Girls threw
James a scathing look.
"Nice shortcut,
James." Razz said sarcastically.
"Okay, so we went
through the wrong tapestry, I'm sorry." He muttered.
The Slytherins
were all wearing smug smiles.
"Today, you will be
learning how to transfigure a match into a needle, but first you must take
these notes." Professor McGonagall flipped over
the black board to reveal a series of complicated notes;Sirius groaned.
The bell rang before the
class even got halfway through the notes. They left, looking slightly
disgruntled.
"What do we have
next?" Remus asked.
"Charms." Lily replied, pulling out her
schedule. "And we're with the Ravenclaws."
They got to the Charms
classroom early a couple of minutes early, though James and Sirius still
offered one of their 'shortcuts'.
"Good morning class,
I'm Professor Flitwick, your Charms teacher. Now, can
any one of you tell me what they think the Incendio
charm does?"As usual, he was standing on his
pile of books.
Lily's hand shot into
the air.
"Yes, Miss-er-" He pulled out his student list,"-Evans."
"The Incendio Charm burns, it is like an instant fire."
Lily said.
"Wonderful! 10 points to Gryffindor."
Professor Flitwick said. They spent the rest of the
class period taking notes on the fire charm, they first charm they were going
to perform in this class.
"Umm,
Lily?" Carissa said.They were now eating lunch.
"What?"
"Do you remeber when you told us about someone giving you the whole
standard book of spells collection?"
"Yeah." Lily
said as though there was nothing wrong with that.
"Well, whoever did
it could be in serious trouble." Carissa said.
Lily looked confused.
"Trouble? how?"
"Well, for one they
are giving away spell books to young muggle children
and another is they are exposing our world to the muggles
and if those kids show their parents the books that really endangers us." Remus said.
"But what if I'm
the only one that person gave them to? there is no
harm in that." Lily said.
"Do you really
think so? What they are saying is what if that maniac gave more sets to other muggles?" Sirius said.
"But-!" Lily protested.
"Lily, come on you
are in the magical world where anything is likely to happen." TK said.
Lily looked down they were probably right.
"Well, what do you
want me to do about?" she asked.
"You have to tell Dumbledore." Jody-Louise said.
Lily didn't
know what to say. She didn't know what Dumbledore
would do if he knew or what he would say.
"What is he going
to do about it?" Lily asked.
"Probably inform
the ministry so they can put a stop to it." Lynn said.
"Alright, alright,
but we have classes to go to first." Lily said.
"What do we have
next?" Peter asked in a fearful voice.
"Potions." Sirius said. Peter blanched.
"Well, we better
get a move on or we'll be late again." Lucy said giving James and Sirius
a meaninful look.
"Your right, let's
get outta here." James said.
The
group of Gryffindors quickly left the Great Hall and
hurried down to the dungeons where their potions class was.
Potions
was horrible.
First Sirius lost ten points from Gryffindor for
trying to put Lily in one of the cauldrons, then James
lost ten more points Just because he got his potions ingredients mixed up.
"What's got him in
a foul mood?" Razz grumbled, glaring darkly at Proffessor
Blazic as they left the dungeons.
"Just be happy that
you won't see him 'til next week." Remus said.
