I woke up to Rhea throwing pillows at me head. "Wake up, I don't wanna be late for breakfast or classes." I groaned.

"Rhea, I need like 10 more minutes." I moaned, my eyes were still closed.

"No, everyone else is already up at at breakfast except for me and Hermione, who are waiting for you." She said, then took out her wand and started blasting heavy metal muggle music.

"Fine. I'm up. I'm up. Shut the music off" I got out of bed groggily and headed to the bathroom.

I washed my face, brushed my teeth and hair and got ready for the day. I had my curly, dark brown hair down, it only reached a little past my shoulders. I wore my Hogwarts uniform and Gryffindor robes. I did some very light makeup, which only consisted of light silver eye shadow, a little mascara, and lip gloss. I rarely ever wear makeup, I just felt like it today.

"Cass, come on we're going to be late." Hermione said.

"I'm coming," I said from the bathroom. I opened the door and went to grab my books.

"Finally" Rhea exhaled. I rolled my eyes and walked out the dorm room with them.

We got down to the final steps and Harry and Ron were there. "What are you two doing here?" I asked.

"Waiting for you three." Ron replied. "You guys took bloody forever"

"That wasn't us, someone didn't want to get out of bed this morning." Rhea said turning her head towards me.

"It's not my fault you and your dad are morning people." I replied.

"Don't you two have the same dad?" Harry asked.

"Yes we do but I am not a morning person whatsoever. I guess I take after our mum." I half lied. I really do hate mornings but I'm more like my dad in that sense. I barely know anything about my mother, it used to bother me a lot when I was younger but not much anymore. I've given up on the fact that I will ever know more than a few things about her.

"Come let's go" Hermione grabbed my and Rhea's arms and dragged us to the Great Hall for breakfast. The boys were following close behind.

We sat down at the end of the Gryffindor table. Almost everyone was there. The boy I met yesterday was there. At least now I knew he was in Gryffindor as well.

"Hi, I just wanted to check if you were ok?." He came up behind me and sat next to me.

"I'm fine, thanks for caring." I replied.

"You know I would love to learn your name."

"It's Cassie" Rhea butted in. She sent me a knowing look, I glared slightly at her and she just smiled and turned to talk with Harry, Hermione and Ron.

"Well, Cassie, I'm Neville Longbottom." I shook his hand.

"Are you coming, Neville?" Two boys came up behind him and asked.

"Yeah I'm coming." He told them then turned back to me "Could you meet me in the library later, I really want to hangout with you?" He blushed.

The group turned towards me. "What was all that about?" Rhea gushed.

"Rhea, chill. He just wanted to know my name."

"He was totally flirting with you." Hermione said. I rolled my eyes.

"No he wasn't."

"Mmmkkkk" Rhea said skeptically but dropped it.

I only ate a muffin and drank some pumpkin juice. I wasn't that hungry. We compared our schedules and we had almost all the same classes. Our first class today is D.A.D.A. with Moony. Who still hasn't talked to me about dad.

We walked to class together. Harry was telling us how he blew up his uncle sister.

"So she really blew up and floated away?" I asked.

"Yeah" he laughed. "I ran away to the Leaky Cauldron. Mr. Weasley told me that Sirius Black broke out of Azkaban to come after me and kill me."

"What?" I asked. "Why would he go after you?"

"Apparently he is an extremely loyal follower of Voldemort and he wants to kill me." I clenched my fists but didn't say anything. Ron started talking about his family's trip to Egypt.

We arrived to Moony's class on time. I was confused because all of desks were pushed up against the wall. There was a moving wardrobe in the middle of the room. We all just stood around waiting for everybody else to arrive.

"Would anyone like to guess as to what is inside?" Moony asked the class.

"It is a boggart" a boy said.

"Very good, Mr. Thomas. Can anybody tell me what a boggart looks like?"

"No one knows. Boggarts are shape-shifters. They take the shape of whatever that particular person fears the most." Hermione said.

"When did she get here?" Ron whispered to Harry who I was standing next to.

"That's what make it so terrif-"

"Terrifying, yes. A very simple charm exist to repel. Now repeat after me. Riddikulus."

"Riddikulus." The whole class said.

"This class is ridiculous" Malfoy sneered. I rolled my eyes, not that he could see anyway.

"Though the incantation alone is not enough. You need to force it to assume a shape you find truly amusing. Let me explain. Neville come here." Neville looked really scared. "Come on, don't be shy." Moony urged. "Now what frightens you the most?"

"Professor Snape." Neville choked out. The class chuckled.

"You live with your grandmother correct."

"Yes but I don't want it turning into her either.

"No. I want you to picture her clothes and only her clothes. When I open this wardrobe I need you to do something for me." He whispered in Neville's ear. "Want at the ready. 1...2...3..." the wardrobe opened slowly with a loud creak. Professor Snape walked out.

"Riddikulus." Neville said and it turned into Snape wearing granny clothes. The whole class laughed.

"That was wonderful, Neville. Everyone form a line." I was behind one of my roommates and in front of Harry.

Ron's boggart was a spider that he turned into a spider on roller skates. It went on like that for a few more students, turning what they were afraid of into something funny.

It was my turn now. I'm not necessarily terrified of anything so I don't really know what my boggart is going to be. The boggart changed from a jack in the box to Sirius Black locked in Azkaban screaming in pain. "Riddikulus" I said and it turned into a dog with clown shoes on. I couldn't bear staying in that class so, I ran out and Rhea followed.
