Hermione was a book worm all right. She has stayed up all night studying the Gryffindor House then telling Violetta the next morning.

"The Gryffindor House values loyalty, nerve, bravery, courage and chivalry. The mascot is the house lion and the colors are Scarlet and Gold. The head of the house is Minerva McGonagall, and the house ghost is Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, or Nearly Headless Nick. Gryffindor responds mostly to fire and the founder is Godric Gryffindor, as if we wouldn't have already known." She snickered to herself thinking everyone would already know that.

Not everyone did that but they didn't want to sound dumb near this bright witch and they just kept their mouth shut.

Ron was slightly confused but Harry was just curious as to why she looked that up. Ron asked, "Why is he nearly headless?"

Then a ghost came out of nowhere. "Well kind sir, I'm glad you asked." He then proceded to tilt his head so it fell off, but not all the way as it seemed there was still some skin left holding it to his body. He threw his head back and started to tell his short story. "I was sentenced to death by beheading and the persecuter's axe was blunt and even after 45 whacks-" He was cut off by McGonagall coming up to him.

"Sir Nicholas, please don't scare the first years." Then she continued to walk past him.

"That's my cue to go. Nice seeing you all!" And with that he vanished.

"Bloody cool." Violetta said astonished. Everyone laughed.

Hermione wasn't the only one up last night, but instead of searching just her house, she was mesmerized by them all.

Arcadia continued on after finishing about Gryffindor. "Hufflepuff values hard work, tolerance, loyalty, and fair play. The house mascot is the badger, and it's colors are canary yellow and midnight black. While Slytherin values ambition, cunning, leadership, and resourcefulness. The house mascot of Slytherin is the serpent, and the house colours are green and silver. Salazar Slytherin founded the house."

Everyone was listening intently mostly because they wanted to hear about their house. Arcadia expected this thought. She wasn't placed in Ravenclaw for nothing. She wanted people to listen so she saved Ravenclaw for last.

"Ravenclaw was most interesting to me because it's the house I'm in but it also values intelligence, creativity, learning, and wit. The house mascot is an eagle and the house colors are blue and gray. The head of our house is the Charms professor, Flitwick, and the house ghost is The Grey Lady, The founder of the house's daughter, Helena Ravenclaw. According to my resources, Ravenclaw corresponds roughly to the element of air. The founder of the house is Rowena Ravenclaw. I did a little research on her but I wouldn't want to bore you during breakfast." Everyone nodded slightly and went back to eating.

The timetables were quite difficult to most. Maria, Lee, Brielle, Draco, Hermione, and Cho understood them just fine, other's had some difficulty.

The first class started at 9 am that morning and some wanted to get a head start to make sure they knew where their first class was.

Classes started at 9 am every morning and there were two classes before lunch and then classes resumed at 1 pm until later that evening when dinner was served.

Most of the people in the same house had the same classes and some of the classes were double houses so they had others as well.
