A/N Urgh so the last chapter was supposed to have an authors note but I'm still getting used to uploading and editing my stuff on this site but it was basically just apologies and promises that I didn't keep so I'm kind of glad no one saw them:L Anyway I know this chapter is quite small but I'll make up for it by updating really quickly next time as the next chapter is all ready written down, all I have to do it type it:D Enjoy:)
When Albus woke he found himself so comfortable that he put off getting up for a few minutes. Still lying down he pulled back his curtains some of the way and looked around. He could tell by everyone else's breathing or soft snores that Albus was the only one awake.
Albus would have been content to stay there in bed all day and watch the dust dance lazily in the morning sun but he was far too eager to try out breakfast after such a wonderful feast. He was also curious to find out what lessons he was having first so Albus got himself out of bed, dressed, grabbed his bag and left the dormitory.
He decided to wait in the common room for Scorpius and Rosie simply because it seemed rude not to.
Apart from a few third years there was no one else in the room. Albus checked his watch and wasn't surprised to find that it was still only a quarter past six. He had always been an early riser. Suddenly two tired looking girls appeared at the bottom of the staircase that lead to the girls dormitory. Albus recognized them from the sorting.
He remembered their names were Amy and Tallulah. At the same time Scorpius and Rosie turned up. "Good morning!" greeted Rosie brightly to everyone. "Can we go now?" asked Albus. He was very hungry. "Yeah I need some food in me too" agreed Scorpius.
The three turned to go but stopped when one of the two girls who had been previously muttering turned to speak up. "Hey, um do you mind if we join you?" asked Tallulah. "Oh sure" beamed Rosie. Albus guessed that Rosie would be glad to have some female company.
While the five of them walked down to the great hall Albus studied Amy and Tallulah. Amy was thin with fair skin and long blond hair pulled back by a read headband. She had a sweet heart shaped face with pink lips and pretty blue eyes. Amy was also clearly a shy girl mostly sticking by Tallulah's side and not saying much. Albus made a mental note to try to make friends with Amy.
Then Albus turned his attention towards Tallulah. Tallulah was not nearly as thin as Amy but had a small frame nonetheless. Tallulah's hair was a light brown colour and she let it hang lose in thick waves that reached her shoulder blades and framed her face. Tallulah has full lips and eyes the same shade as Amy's; a deep blue. Albus watched her chat with Scorpius and Rosie while trying to pull Amy into the conversation with some success.
During breakfast Albus discovered that Amy and Tallulah both muggle born, came from the same town and had been friends for years. When Albus's owl landed on the table with letters from home for Rose and himself Albus couldn't help but notice the way Amy's eyes filled with longing. "Whats it's name?" she asked him. "Rex" Albus told her "Awful name for an owl isn't it?" "Oh it could be worse" said Tallulah. Then Rosie said "What about poor old Pig?" "Pig?" asked Scorpius curiously. "Pig is our tiny old owl" Rosie explained. "Dad's had him for ages, anyway he's called Pigwidgen because my aunt thought it was cute..."
While Rosie continued to explain her pets weird names to Scorpius, Amy and Tallulah were cooing over Rex. It turned out Amy loved animals and was clearly much more confident then earlier this morning. Albus was asked numerous questions about his owl and then what it was like growing up in a wizarding family. Albus in turn, asked questions about muggle life. Albus had Tallulah explain basket ball (her old game) and made Amy explain the logistics of cooking without magic.
Eventually professor Sabri walked up to them and handed the five students their timetables. Their first class was transfiguration so the gobbled down what was left of their breakfast and headed off to find their classroom which was harder than it sounded. Albus was glad they had left the great hall early as it took them ages to find their classroom. The barely even made it on time because a few minutes later Professor Sabri was striding down the corridor with his crimson cloak billowing behind him and opening the door to let the first years in. Albus stepped inside and took a seat with his new friends and eagerly waited for his education in magic to finally begin.
