Lisa woke up to the sound of chirping birds the following morning. She was surprised to see that Hermione and Ginny were still fast asleep in their beds and peeking out the window she came to know that it was only an hour or so since sunrise.

She was honestly surprised that she managed to wake up this early, but when one comes to think of it she really went to sleep early last night, so waking up early was natural.

Maybe now she would have enough time to arrange her luggage for Hogwarts before they leave for the platform.

She hadn't been able to ask Mrs. Weasley for her robes and books and other things the previous night, so she took the liberty of asking for it when she had found Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen after she had completed her morning chores.

"Lisa, dear," said Mrs. Weasley in a surprised tone, "how come you are awake this early? You didn't have any trouble sleeping, did you?"

"No, no, Mrs. Weasley." Lisa shook her head with a small smile. "Actually I went to bed early, so I just woke up earlier. And above that I also wanted to pack my luggage on time before we have to leave for the train."

"Oh, yes," said Mrs. Weasley, "your supplies, I forgot to give them to you in the hurry of the party, but don't worry, dear, they are in your room; you didn't find them?"

"I-" her face flushed in embarrassment. How could she not notice this? "-I actually didn't look around closely."

"It's alright, dear." said Mrs. Weasley kindly. "It's still dark, you wouldn't have noticed. They are under your bed; and the clothes are folded in your section of the cupboard."

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Weasley." she beamed. "You really don't have to do that all. I would have managed."

"Oh, it's nothing, dear." she shook her head with great modesty. "Now go on pack your bag, before everyone else wakes up and you don't have the time to."

"Sure." she smiled sincerely at her before hopping up the stairs, "See you later, Mrs. Weasley."

Reaching back to her room, she wasn't surprised to find Hermione and Ginny still fast asleep and was thankful that she was able to pull out her supplies from under the bed without much clattering.

She scrambled through the various books, cauldron, parchments, quills, ink bottles and many other supplies that she would be needing for her year at Hogwarts, heading over to the cupboard and smiling at the neatly folded school robes and all other kinds of clothes that will be sufficient enough for the whole fifth year.
