Next day Penny woke up with pressure on her stomach and something tickling her nose.
"Angus. Move. " Was all she said to the cat to make him obey. As soon as she went to the bathroom to change, Angus jumped back to the warm spot under her covers and fell asleep not soon after.
Penny made her way down to the great hall for some breakfast. When she entered she could hear some people whispering around her as they stared at the Gryffindor table, more accurate the person sitting at that table. Harry Potter. He, as expected, was the talk and gossip of the school and they only started their year.
Penny sat down at her table and not soon after she was joined by her roommate Rebecca.
"Good morning Penny." The brown haired girl said cheerfully to her as she sat down.
"Morning" Penny said back as she ate some toast, ending their conversation before it could escalate to having Penny actually conversing with another person she didn't know or like.
As she was walking out of the Great Hall she was quickly greeted by her brother as he ran past her with some other Gryffindor's.
"Morning Penny" A soft voice came behind her and she recognized it immediately, making her turn around.
"Hermione. " She greeted back the bushy haired girl as she let her catch up.
"I can't wait to start transfiguration. It's quite fascinating turning one thing into another. Isn't it?" Penny agreed with a soft mumble before they reached their class.
They sat down together and not soon after Professor McGonagall entered the room.
"Transfiguration is some of the most complex and dangerous magic you will learn at Hogwarts," she said. "Anyone messing around in my class will leave and not come back. You have been warned." She said with a voice that left no room to argue.
Penny watched the professor as she changed her desk into a pig and back again. Penny leaned a bit forward in her seat, to say the least she was very impressed and couldn't wait to get started.
They had to take down some complicated notes that only fuelled Penny's curiosity about the subject.
In the mid of taking her notes she hear the door open and a pair of feet running down the aisle between the tables. Both, she and Hermione, turned around to look at who it was, just to see Harry Potter and his red haired friend Ron Weasley.
"Whew, amazing, can you imagine the look on old McGonagall's face if we were late?" Ron said to Harry.
Professor McGonagall, that was in her animagus form jumped off the desk and turned back into herself. The two boys are amazed.
"That was bloody brilliant." Ron said as he looked at her.
"Thank you for that assessment, Mr. Weasley. Maybe if I were to transfigure Mr. Potter and yourself into a pocketwatch, maybe one of you would be on time."
"We got lost." Mutterd Harry as he looked down ashamed.
"Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats." Professor said as she turned around going back to her desk. And the students continued to write down their notes.
After some time, they were each given a match and started trying to turn it into a needle. By the end of the lesson, only Hermione and Penny had made any difference to their match.
Professor McGonagall showed the class how it had gone all silver and pointy and gave Hermione and Penny a rare smile while awarding them some house points.
The class Defence Against the Dark Arts, that was thought by Professor Quirrell turned out to be a bit of a joke. His classroom smelled strongly of garlic making Penny's nose itch. The class was boring to say the least.
The only class Penny didn't share with Hermione was Potions. That class was divided to only two houses. Ravenclaws shared it with Hufflepuffs, while Griffindors shared it with Slytherins. Professor Snape was a very strict man and most students feared him, even Penny didn't want to get on his bad side.
After Potions Penny made her way to the Great Hall with the rest of the students to eat.
Sitting at the Ravenclaw table Penny was doing her homework when she hear a big explosion across from her. Looking up she saw Seamus Finnegan's shocked face that was now covered in after explosion dust. Not soon after a flock of owls flew into the Great Hall delivering mail to the students. The owls soared by, dropping parcels here and there to the students. Penny saw Crystal, her brother's owl, drop a letter from her mother in front of her.
"Hey, look! Neville's got a Remembrall!" Seamus said out loud making Penny look up from her mother's letter.
"I've read about those. When the smoke turns red, it means you've forgotten something." Hermione explained.
Penny stopped listening to the conversation at the Gryffindor table and went back to finish her homework.
