juniper's pov:

I woke up for the first day of Hogwarts bright and early. This was not my decision. If I'd had my way, I would still be sleeping, but Vivian dragged us all out of bed at an ungodly hour so she could run hairstyle options by us. Vivian takes great care in picking out her hair, makeup, shoes, and accessories, since it's basically the only thing she gets to personalize with our uniforms. I only forgave her because she made coffee, that and we're are not being very helpful.

Rory was still drifting in and out of sleep, plus to was better not to ask her anything in the mornings, unless you wanted your eyes clawed out. And Jade was being her usual sweet and understanding self, but even she was yawning after the twentieth half up half down look. I had no idea why Vivian even bothered to wake me up. I was pretty much useless in these types of situations.

Vivian snapped her fingers at us, "Are the three of you even paying attention?"

"Not at all." Rory peered at her through half lidded eyes, earning her an evil eye from Viv.

"I am, Jade tried to smile brightly, kind of..."
"Honestly V, I stretched my arms, you'll look good in any of them."

"Ok that is so not helpful." Vivian sighed dramatically, "You know I'm not good at making decisions."

I laughed, pecking her on the cheek as I rose from the bed and made my way to the shower, "Sorry Viv."

The jolt of cold water hit me the instant I turned the shower on, if that didn't wake me up I don't what would. Hogwarts had a really crap heating system, figures since it's an old castle, but you would think they would've updated to catch up with this century. My whole family has Muggle cell phones, Dad said we needed to learn how to do certain things without magic, and they were actually pretty useful. Of course no technology works here, but James and I discovered in second year that if we stand in just the right position at the top of the Owlery, we can sometimes get one bar of service.

When I hopped out of the shower, I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and attempted to detangle the knots in my hair. However, I failed, and proceeded to plait a pair extremely crooked braids. Oh well, Vivian should just be happy it wasn't in a ponytail.

"Shower's free!" I called out, wrapping a towel around myself.

Rory entered the bathroom, and I heard the familiar high pitched exclaim everyone made when the freezing spray washes over you for the first time. Jade was already in her uniform, and she was busy twisting her gorgeous dark brown hair up into a bun. Meanwhile, it looked like Viv had decided on the two small braids that journeyed back her scalp with rest of her pink highlighted hair sitting in loose curls. She was the one who took the most risk with her uniform, not to mention she was wearing Mary Jane platforms. Her prized possession. I just know if I was wearing those I would fall flat on my face, which is why I stick to my comfortable black converse.

"What do we have first?" Vivian asked from her place at the vanity.

Jade consulted her freakishly organized color coded schedule, "Herbology, then you and Junie have Divination and Ror and I go to Runes."

"Ugh." I made a face. Herbology and Divination were not my strong suits. Uncle Neville really tried, he did, but I was just not interested in plants. As for Divination, I've been taking the subject for two years and have learned absolutely nothing. But it's an easy course, Professor Trelawney is crazy and so long as you keep up the dramatics in your readings, you're pretty much guaranteed good marks.

In general, I didn't enjoy school. It wasn't that I was dumb or anything, more like I just disliked homework and exams. I would much rather be out on the pitch playing Quidditch, or using magic in live combat, or creating spells of my own invention to use in pranks.
