Ron was already asleep when Harry walked in. He silently changed
into his pajamas, and slid into his bed. Not giving a second thought to
Stephanie's last name.
The next morning Harry woke up to the morning wake up bells ringing. Something new that the school had installed. He groaned and rolled over. Unfortunately the bells were programmed to ring until every last student was out of bed. He sat up and yawned. Ron looked over at him and laughed, obviously he had forgotten about last night's event. "Late night?" He smiled. Harry growled under his breath and stood up.
He took his time changing into his robes and left for the Dining hall. It wasn't until he had taken his seat at the Gryffindor table, that the bells stopped tolling. He leaned his head against his hand and began to fall asleep at the table. He was aware of someone sitting down near him, but he didn't care, he was too tired. Ron sat down next to him and shook him awake. "Har! He said, "Wake up!" Harry opened his eyes and realized his face had almost fallen into the plate of steaming oatmeal in front of him. When he looked up he saw Stephanie's concerned green eyes staring into his.
"Hey Stephanie" he breathed. Ron looked confused "Who is this" he said rudely. "Stephanie, this is Ron, Ron, this is Stephanie." Harry grinned. "So what's your first class?" he asked her. Unfortunately he had caught her just as she took a bite of the oatmeal. Ron, feeling a little left out, stood up and left. "Sorry about Ron, he's kinda annoying, but he's my best friend, so I let him stick around." Harry said, waiting for her to finish the stuff in her mouth. "That's ok," she said "my first class is "Geometric Perspectives" she said. "Ugh, math!" Harry groaned. "Whatever!" she laughed. "I bet you're good at everything!" Harry said nothing, and Stephanie immediately began to blush. There was an awkward silence as the two finished their meals.
Still embarrassed, Stephanie trudged across the courtyard that led to her Geometry class. "Hey Stephanie!" A familiar voice yelled. Quickly she turned around as her cousin approached her. "Hey Seann!" she smiled. The two cousins used to be best friends when they were little, but through the years they had grown apart. "Where are you going?" He asked. She showed him her schedule and he smiled. "Well at least we have Madrigals together!" He said referring to their choir class. "I didn't know you sang!" She said tucking her schedule back into the pocket of her dark purple robe. Seann grinned, "Ladies like a guy who can sing!" She laughed at him "Well that's true!"
All of the sudden a furry little creature came running up to her, it hesitated, looked back, and then continued on it's way. It was followed by a huge man. Stephanie hadn't seen him since the first night at orientation. He ground shook as he ran. She gave Seann a quizzical look. "Hagrid" he said, "He takes care of all the animals here at the school. I believe he teaches your 'Mystical and Magical Eco systems' class. He's okay, but he won't accept nonsense!" He warned. "Well here's your class." Seann gave her an encouraging look before he ran off to talk to a tall Oriental girl. She was very pretty, Stephanie noticed.
She opened the heavy door and entered the surprisingly well lit classroom. It was probably the brightest room she'd been in at the school, because it didn't run on electricity. She noticed light fixtures glowing on the wall though. A little confused, she approached one, to see what made it glow. "You must be Miss Biggerstaff" a stern voice behind her said. Quickly Stephanie turned around. She saw 20 kids blinking up at her; some had begun to snicker. In the front of the class was a short, nervous looking man. "Please take your seat, and remember, tardiness is never accepted!" Blushing, Stephanie had to walk across the classroom to get to an empty seat. She sat next to a thin blonde girl. "Hi" the girl said. "My name's Kendra!" she sounded very cheerful. "Hi, I'm-" "Miss Biggerstaff! Please try not to interrupt my class!" the teacher said. Stephanie felt like crying, today was not her day! The teacher introduced himself as 'Professor Whitlatch' and he started the lesson.
