Note: This is taken from Pottermore. I have been sorted into Ravenclaw, so I know how we get into our dormitories. Most of the information that wasn't explained in the books are taken from Pottermore, or I guessed the most probable reality.

It was sunset when the meal was finished for most of the students. When Annabeth realized it was sunrise when they were on sailing the boats, so she asked Vanya how the one meal took an entire day.

She shrugged. "I'm not really sure, but I think it has something to do with a charm they put on us. I know from my sister that they usually arrive here at sunset. Don't know what happened this time."

They climbed several staircases until they got near the top of the castle. A blue door with a large, brass eagle as a knocker seemed to stand out from the brick walls of the tower. The prefect turned and said, "I am Prefect Ben Hilliard, and I'm happy to see you've been sorted into Ravenclaw house. Our mascot, per say, is an eagle. I stand outside our common room, which only Ravenclaws can access. To get in, the enchanted knocker will ask you a question, and if you can answer it correctly, it will let you in. There's one question per day. This way of entrance has kept everyone else out but Ravenclaws for nearly a thousand years. Although, I advise you to triple check that you have everything you need before you leave." Ben turned towards the door, and the eagle came to life. Annabeth wasn't so surprised anymore; the amazement was taken by the pictures moving.

"What are two differences between a werewolf and a true wolf?" the brass eagle said.

"Listen carefully now," Ben said, first addressing the first years, then to the knocker. "A werewolf, while in wolf form, has a smaller snout than a true wolf, as well as smaller pupils."

The eagle smiled and the door opened itself. Annabeth grinned wide as she saw a whole new spectrum of knowledge before her. She mildly wondered how the rest of the houses accessed their common rooms. Maybe Gryffindors had to do an incredibly brave stunt.

The Raven claw common room was huge. It was draped with blue and bronze color, with bookcases crammed into the walls. Hallways at the end of the room lead to different directions with blue carpeting. Small tables were everywhere for studying, as well as small, comfortable armchairs. Quarts walls fit in nicely with strips of bronze metal, connecting the same color of statues of eagles. Vanya gave out a little laugh at the magnificent place. Annabeth ran her fingers over the books that had the strangest names. 'Encyclopedia of Toadstools' and 'My Life As A Squib'.

"Anna, look at the view!" Vanya said loudly, waving Annabeth over. She tore herself away from the books and joined Vanya at the enormous windows.

She stared at the sight. It seemed to be the highest point at Hogwarts, overlooking the Black Lake, a vast forest, and an abundant garden. Annabeth whispered, "Is this even real?"

"Seems real to me," Vanya replied.

"Alright, ALRIGHT!" Prefect Ben shouted. "Now, girls dormitories are on the hallway to the right, while boys are on the left. You'll find your roommates to be satisfactory, as you'll see them marked on the door. Please make your way to your dorms, where your trunks and new robes will be there. Off you go now!"

Annabeth raced to the right hallway, and scanned the doors for her name. The hallway would have doors on either side, with a twisting staircase every few doors. Please be there please be there please be-yes! She found a dorm with her name on it and bursted inside to see five beds, not bothering to see her roommates. "Slow down!" a faint voice called. "It's not a race, Anna!" at the sound of her name, Annabeth whipped around to see Vanya standing in the doorway. She checked the names on the door and squealed with delight. "Oo! I'm in this dorm too! We're all first years, apparently. I mean, everyone else who's rooming with us. This is gonna be a great year!"

"Who else is with us?"

"Err, let's see. . . there's a Pandora Boffit, a Zoelle Storm, and Gene Mendal. I've heard of the name Mendal, but that's about it. What about you?"

Annabeth faintly remembered Percy mentioning someone named Boffin, or Boffit, or maybe Boffer, but that was about it. She shook her head.

She looked for her trunk at the base of each bed, as each one was open. She found hers at the farthest to the left, which was identical to all the other ones, having dark blue silk drapes curled up at all sides. Vanya found hers at the center bed, the farthest back in the room. It was also conveniently next to Annabeth's. "This is satisfactory." said Vanya matter-of-factly.

A brunette girl came flourishing in with a interested look in her blue eyes. She looked around the dorm, and observed the starry-themed ceiling that had a sense to move. Annabeth wouldn't be surprised if it did.

"Hello," the girl said. "I'm Pandora Boffit. Who are you?"

"I'm Vanya!" Vanya said, jumping up from her bed. "This is Anna. I found your bed over there," she pointed to the first bed on her left. Or right, from Pandora's perspective. She bounced to the cot, taking her wand from the trunk first. Thinking for a moment, she pointed her wand at the covers and said, "Colorem Monasticismus white!"

A white light shot from her sandy colored wand and hit the covers, brushing over her blankets, making them shiver and lay back down, almost undisturbed, but with splotches of light blue color in contrast to the deep blue of the rest of the bedspread. Pandora sighed, but didn't seem very disturbed by this. "It was a good try," She looked up to Annabeth and Vanya and smiled. "I expect the rest of our roommates will be arriving soon, don't you think?"

As if on cue, a medium sized brown skinned girl with large, green eyes came in and noticed Vanya right away. "Oh my god!" She breathed in sharply. "You're eyes!"

Vanya beamed. "All natural."

Just before the dark-chocolate haired girl could get in another word, a short, curly haired girl walked in, standing beside dark chocolate. "I'm Zoe. Gene, what are you so excited about?"

Gene, the dark chocolate haired girl, strode over to Vanya, who looked happy to be on display, and pointed to her discolored eyes. Zoe, on the other hand, didn't seem impressed. "Give it a rest, Gene. You can fantasize about eyes later." Looking discouraged, Gene paced over to Vanya's left side and sat on her bed. Zoe took the only bed left.

"So," Pandora said after an award silence. "shall we get ready for sleep?"

There was a slow movement from everybody as they rummaged through their trunks, and Annabeth prayed to Athena that her clothes were hidden somewhere in the depths of the trunk, as well as her nightclothes. She found her pajamas, but the only sign of day clothes were the ones that she had come with on the train. Annabeth groaned and grabbed her pajamas, unhinging the silk drapes around her bed, concealing Annabeth to change freely. She yawned and laid down after placing her worn out shoes by the dark spruce nightstand, not bothering to roll up the curtains.

That night, Annabeth tossed and turned through her sleep. With new and confusing memories to sort through, the night was a terrible experience. Several times she woke up in cold sweat. She wished she could see Percy. . . .

.ii.

Percy had, somehow, gotten a room with both Sirius and James. They had also been introduced to a tall, brass haired boy named Remus and a short, big-eared Peter. Percy didn't think much of them.

The beds had red canopies with velvet curtains, lining them with gold fringe. Metal supports reflected the moonlight coming from the window beside Percy's bed.

It was the middle of the night, and Percy couldn't stand to fall back asleep after his nightmares of his new memories of the dark pit, seeing Annabeth and all his friends in danger, and the death of so many, so, so many. . . .

He wished he could see Annabeth, safe with him.
