Chapter 3: Gryffindor Common Room

Y/n POV
The feast ends, leaving the prefects to lead their first years to their common rooms. We follow along and soon come to the moving stair cases and let me tell you, you do not want to be on them when they move.

It is very much scare and you're have an urge to hold on to something for dear life. The thing I grabbed, ended but being Harry's arm which he alerted me to, upon after the stair case stopped moving.

That was a little embarrassing.

We continue our way up and stopped in from the a painting named the fat lady where Percy Weasley our prefect gave her a password.

I've got to remember a password, hopefully it doesn't change too much.

Her painting opens up to an archway and we head into a red and golden coloured warm looking common room.

"Boys dormitory down stairs to your left, Girls the same but on the right." Percy states.

I follow Hermione and two other girls and we head down to the room. Entering the room we find that we are sharing the room together, so I decided to find out who the other girls are.

"Hi, I'm Y/n Turner, could you tell me your names?" I introduce.

"Lavender Brown." One of the mystery girls says.

"Parvati Patil." The other girl introduces.

"I'm Hermione Granger" Hermione says not to be left out.

"Pleasure to meet you all." I say politely with a smile.

We soon fall into a silence as we begin to get ready for bed. Me being the night owl I am, I let the others get ready first and use the bathroom as I head back up to the main area for awhile.

I was meet with an empty area much to my disappointment so I just sit down in front of the fire and watch the flames dance.

After awhile my eyes move down to my hands and I look at the different shades the light from the fire creates on my olive skin. It looks beautiful.

I end up sitting there for another 20 minutes as my amber eyes scanned the common room before setting back on the fire, seeing the different shapes it creates. Once the 20 minutes were up I got bored and decided to start thinking about my old life.

Mum is probably making something yummy for dinner like usual and Dad most likely made a really good sweet as well. I miss them a bit. The food here is pretty good too. Some creatures call elves make the food. I should thank them for the food one day.

My thoughts move to my old school.

I didn't really have a real friend there, did I? I guess I didn't. The only nice person was Timothy, though that was probably only because I only ever saw him when we were in front of the teachers.

They weren't overly mean either, they just more or less, made me feel isolated, I guess. That doesn't matter now, that's all in the past now. I'm now here in Hogwarts and I'm going to learn all about the magic in the books I read after getting them at Diagon Ally.

Hopefully I'm not too far behind, from what I can tell most people I have meet have know something about magic for most of their life. Maybe even some of them know how to perform magic? That could be cool, but would also make me feel behind.

My thoughts move on to the topic of fame.

Of Harry is famous for being the boy who live and survive the killing curse, casted by a dark wizard. Who is Riddle in terms of fame? The teachers seemed to be interested in her, but why is that? Did she do something like Harry? Or is it like I thought of earlier and it's because of her parents?

If it's her parents what did she do? Were they famous in the school, famous in the wizarding world or even a mixture of both? There are soon many things to learn and know about. At least I'm not alone. Harry doesn't seem to know much either and we've got Ron who knows a decent amount about this world.

Coming to this positive noted thought, I headed back to my dorm area and find that the others were done, making the bathroom all mine.

I grab my things and head into the bathroom, there is a nice big bath. I start to fill it up adding my favourite scented soap, making sure the bath was nice and warm but not burning warm.

I undress before getting in, taking in the scent and letting my muscles relax. I spend a good two hours taking my nice bath before finally finishing my routine and make my way to bed. Eventually after that I fall asleep.
