Harry woke up at six-fifty, and was feeling optimistic for the day. They were to receive their timetables this morning, and he hoped he had a decent schedule for once.

The boys' dorm was only filled with the snoring noises coming from Ron, and some sleepy mumbling coming from either Neville or Dean's bed, he couldn't tell. Peeking out of his curtains, he seen that Seamus must already be up, as the hanging curtains around his bed were neatly tied back and his bed was somewhat made. Does he think he'll catch some disease if he's in the same room as me? He thought arduously. Peeking out of the window, the weather was slightly gloomy - there were dark grey clouds out, yet it wasn't raining yet. Hopefully not an omen for today, he thought.

He couldn't hear Seamus tip-toeing about the dorm, so assumed he was already either down in the common room or already at breakfast. Quietly getting dressed, he got his books out of his trunk and sorted them out into his bag. He reminded himself that he would have to see Professor Vector when the timetables were issued, so that he could fit in when he could do his Arithmancy lessons (Angelina had said last night that that Quidditch practises would be held on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings as of next week).

As he was tying his tie, Neville announced his awakeness by stretching, and Dean followed a few minutes later by yawning. Ron was the last to wake up.

When Harry went down to the Great Hall for breakfast with his friends, he found that people were still staring at him, - however, most of them were now curious stares instead of death glares. He wondered what on earth had happened overnight for them to no longer be angry at him.

When he sat down, he found that Anthony Goldstein was making his way towards him. Harry tried to read his expression - he didn't look like he was coming over to berate him, but he didn't hold his breath. "Morning, Harry," Goldstein sat down at Ravenclaw table, yet his seat was back-to-back with Harry's.

"Hello, Anthony," Harry tried to reply cheerfully, turning in his seat, for he didn't know Anthony that well.

"I'm very interested in your club, in fact, quite a lot of Ravenclaw's signed their names on the bulletin board last night, including me. I must ask - how did you come about starting it?"
