I wake up in my large cozy bed, my cat Nala purring and laying on my chest comfortably. I still can't believe I'm here, I'm really here, and I met all the people I've always wanted to meet. I move Nala softly and she just snuggles into the blankets on my bed after a slight "meow". I rub my eyes until I hear someone knock on my door. Luckily I scripted that I look pretty even when I've just woken up...

"Come in" I say, holy shit I forgot I was British now...
Theo walks into my room, already in his slytherin robes, but with his shirt untucked and his tie loose.

"Shit sorry I didn't know you were still asleep, did I wake you up?" He says

"No I was awake don't worry. What's up?" I answer

"I just thought I'd come meet you for breakfast. We're allowed to sit with other houses for breakfast and lunch, just not dinner" Theo says, still kind of awkwardly standing at my door. I smile at his request.

"Yeah that would be great. I'll just get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs" I say back getting out of bed...until I realise something, and so does Theo.

"Hey who's hoodie is that?"

Fuck. I'm still wearing Mattheo's hoodie. It just smelt so good and it was so warm. I don't wanna bring that much attention to myself on my first day I just wanna get through classes.

"Oh uh...Mattheo lent it to me last night coz we were at the astronomy tower...and I guess I just fell asleep wearing it" I try and think of something on my feet but I can't...so I just tell the truth.

"Oh..." he answers back awkwardly

"I'm giving it back to him when I see him"

Theo nods and then makes his way out of my room. That could have gone better... Once he closes the door I get out of bed and make my way over to my wardrobe. I forgot how huge it is! I grab out everything I need and get dressed in my Gryffindor robes. After walking into the bathroom I brush my hair out, brush my teeth, and put on some mascara. I don't really wear makeup so I'll just stick with this. I also spray myself with my perfume and then make my way out of the room. I put on my doc martens (I scripted you can wear whatever black shoes you want with the uniform) and then grab my wand from my bedside table. I make my way downstairs to see Theo and Hermione sitting next to each other on the lounge.

"Good morning Shelby" Hermione says brightly. She has her neat robes on and her hair tied up in a bun. I forgot she wanted to sit with me for breakfast, hopefully Theo doesn't mind.

"Ready to go?" Theo asks

I nod at him and when Hermione doesn't say anything I just sort of assume she will be sitting with us also, and that it doesn't affect anyone.

We all walk out of the common room and make our way to the great hall for breakfast. As soon as we enter all I smell is lots of food. It smells great. We all make our way over to the end of one of the four large tables and sit down. I begin loading my plate with food; scrambled eggs, bacon, a piece of toast. I'm not really much of a breakfast person but who can resist? Theo piles food on his plate and Hermione does the same. We begin to eat and it tastes amazing.

"What class is first for us?" I ask Hermione after a little while.

"Transfiguration with the Hufflepuffs" she answers. That will be cool to meet some of the hufflepuffs who weren't mentioned in the books or movies...but also...more magic!! And with Professor McGonagall.

"Dang. I have herbology with the ravenclaws" Theo chimes in.

Harry and Ron sit beside us as we continue our casual conversation.

"Hey Shelby" Ron says in which I reply back with a friendly "hey"

"Are you a quidditch player?" Harry asks me. Well let's see...I've never ridden before and I've never played quidditch in my life...

"Yeah I am. I'm a chaser, why's that?"

"Cool! Well I'm Gryffindor quidditch captain and we're holding try outs today. I would love to see what you've got" he says. Harry's love for quidditch is definitely not just for show. You can tell he genuinely loves it a lot.

"Sounds good. When are they?" I ask

"4:00pm. We have brooms if you don't have one with you"

"Cool. Okay well. I do have to let you know I haven't ridden for a little while...I'd love to try out though" I say. If I end up being shit, that can be my excuse...

"Just give it your best shot, I'm sure you'll be fine" he replies. "Anyway, best get to class. See you there"

Harry and Ron both walk away.

"Hey that's cool. I'm on the Slytherin team. I play as keeper" Theo chimes in happily.

"Little friendly competition never hurt anybody" I say back. I love competition, and I know I will especially love to see these guys play. They are fine as hell...
