Chapter 4

I was very cautious when waking up the next morning.

In the middle of the night, I closed the yellow curtains around my 4-poster so I could avoid any awkward early morning interactions.

As the sun crept through the cracks of the curtains, I stirred in bed. Sitting up, I quieted down to hear my surroundings. I could make out the sounds of hushed whispers and the opening and closing of a drawer.

"Ahem," I cleared my throat, "I'm coming out so, uh, are you two decent?"

As I waited for an answer, I could hear the two arguing.

"I don't want to speak to her. You say something." I caught Ronald whispering.

"Yes," Harry declared.

Peaking from around the curtain, I saw Harry and Ronald already dressed in their Gryffindor robes. Ronald (per usual) seemed to be annoyed.

"Good Morning," I said, directing the greeting towards Harry.

"Hello." Harry acknowledged "We were just about to go down to the Great Hall so you've got to the room to yourself."

"Thanks," I beamed

"Don't get used to this." Ronald snarled, rolling his eyes.

Both Harry and I peeked at him. Before either of us could scold him, he had already turned his attention onto another random object in the room.

I didn't get the chance to see the dorm in its entirety the night before but, it was impressive. There were 3 stained windows, each one with a different color scheme. The four-poster beds were the same as they had been in my previous rooms, tall and wide, taking up most of the space.

There were a few doors, different from the one I entered early this morning so, I'd have to take the time to explore where those lead later.

Rising from my seated position on the bed, I maneuvered around Harry and Ronald and grabbed my monogrammed trunk by the door.

As I passed by, I heard Ronald cough and mutter, "Ugh."

Whipping my head around, I asked, "What is it?"

"You smell like the Forbidden Forest!"

"What?!" I blurted, pinching my shirt and taking a whiff.

Pine Trees.

"Oh," I sighed, relieved, "This is Cedric's shirt. He sprays his cologne on everything." I snickered.

This comment seemed to send Ronald through the roof. He grabbed his scarf that was lying atop his covers. "I'll meet you in the Great Hall, Harry." With that, he left.

Harry looked dumbfounded. He lifted up his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose, "I'm sorry- "

I cut in before he could finish, "Harry, you don't need to apologize every time Ronald acts like a fool. You'll be saying sorry for days."

He chortled, "I should go. See you later?"

"Yep," I replied, waving him off as he exited the room.

"Well, look who showed up," Cedric teased, smirking.

"Oh, shut it." I pushed the back of his head before taking a seat next to him.

"That's no way to treat someone that got food for you." He smiled and slid a golden plate in my direction.

"Thanks, Ced. I am beyond hungry." I mentioned, shoving a piece of toast in my mouth.
