When she opened the door, it revealed a rather large room, bigger then her own at home. It had polished wooden floors with a plush red carpet in the middle with a couch and two sitting chairs around the lit fireplace, which you saw as soon as you stepped in.
She walked to the middle of the room and on the left there was a wooden desk with a chair and a candelabra and two book shelves on either side. On her right was her bed. It had to be about king size and it was a canopy bed with red velvet and gold trim as the curtains. The comforter was gold and the pillows were red. On either side of her bed were large windows, with seats in them and they were very tall and Katie looked up to see just how far they went and then she saw the ceiling and it had a large chandelier in the middle of it. The roof came to a point at the top and it was high also.
"Wow…get a load of this place" Katie exclaimed and turned around to see Jeremiah was in his room in the same state of shock. From what Katie could see their rooms were the same except for a few differences.
She turned back around and on either side of the fireplace was a set of doors. She went to the one on the right which was a large closet with a dresser in there as well. All her uniforms and regular clothes were hung and her chest was sitting in the corner of the closet, and on the other was her broom. She shut the door and went to the one on the left which exposed a bathroom. It was pearly white with gold trim. The tub was huge, not like the prefects bathroom huge, but it was about the size of a small car. There was also a stand up shower in the corner and a toilet and a sink and a full body mirror. She stepped out and went over to her door and Jeremiah had done the same.
"Wow, I could really get used to this" she said and she agreed and they both said goodnight and shut their doors. She went back into the room and flung herself on the bed and she sunk into its softness and she laid there for about five minutes just admiring. Then she checked the clock on the wall and saw that it was ten, and she had to go do duties to make sure no students were lost or anything like that. She headed out of her room and walked down the stairs going slowly looking at the pictures and she spotted a familiar face, it was Percy Weasley and he smiled and waved to her. She got down to the common room where students were still talking she saw Ron, Harry and Hermione in a corner talking and she waved to them and they waved back and she headed about her rounds. The corridors were quiet and she was glad, she did not want to do that much work yet. She rounded a corner when she saw a black shadow move in the corner of her eye and she looked back but she saw nothing there so she brushed it off Probably a ghost she thought and continued then she heard footsteps and she turned around fully "Oy!…Whos there?" she called and the figure stepped out it was a girl and she was crying.
"Oh I'm sorry…what's wrong?" Katie said as she walked over and she saw the emblem on her cloak was that of Hufflepuff. The girl looked up at her, her hair was brown and it was short it was only to her shoulders. Her eyes were brown as well.
"I-I'm lost, I cannot find my common room…p-please don't give me a detention I'm really sorry!" She said and she was on the verge of bawling again.
"Shh…calm down, you must be a first year, I'm not going to give you a detention, the first couple of nights Head Girls and Boys are sent out just for this problem, incase students get lost, come on I will take you to your common room its this way"
Katie lead the girl down the hall and to a deserted corridor on the third floor and they came to a statue. "Do you remember your password?" and the girl shook her head no. "Okay, well I know it, its Evening Thunder" and the statue jumped to the side showing the corridor "Well good night and stay in your common room, I will see you later" she said and waved by to the girl and she did the same and she headed back to walked the corridors.
The rest of the night was quiet nothing out of the ordinary it was eleven thirty when her shift was done and she headed back to her room.
"Thestrals" she said as she came to the fat lady, whom was sleeping "Er…hate to bother you but I need to get to bed…" and she woke up a little disgruntled "Thestrals" Katie said again and the portrait swung open and Katie stepped inside and headed up to her room. She was in her room and she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face and she undressed in the bathroom and walked out with just her undergarments on and she walked over to her closet and grabbed her pajamas and changed. She walked over to her bed, sat down, set her alarm and placed her wand on the nightstand then laid down looking out her window and she fell asleep a little while later.
