THE SOUND OF A SPOON HITTING GLASS BRINGS YOUR ATTENTION FROM STAR GAZING TO THE FRONT OF THE ROOM.

"your attention, please" the lady who had lead you all in here speaks. people had mentioned her name, but you had forgotten already.

dumbledore stands up slowly, "let the feast begin"

you blink in shock as various amounts of different types of food appears all over the table, multiple foods you never having seen before.

your lips part slightly, but they close soon after, wondering to yourself what you were shocked about.

with a small shrug, you take small bits of some food, slowly eating.

maybe here you would actually remember to eat, since the food is always in front of you and you don't need to remember to cook. usually, you'd forget to feed yourself, forgetting either how to cook or make the food or that you haven't eaten in a while. one time, you had accidentally gone three days without eating.

chatter can be heard all around the room as you slowly nibble on your food, getting distracted half way through and glancing up at the roof, absentmindedly eating some of your food at the same time.

you blink in shock again, snapping out of your trance as a bunch of ghosts start flying around the castle and through the tables, you turn back to your table, a few ghosts flying about.

YOUR FACE WAS BLANK AS USUAL AS WHAT WAS CALLED A 'PREFECT' OR SOMETHING WAS LEADING YOU TO THE RAVENCLAW COMMON ROOM.

staircases were moving, catching a few students off guard, and the pictures were talking to eachother. some were even talking to the students. a few had tried talking to you, but you straight-up ignored them.

your prefect leads you over to a tower and up a bunch of spiralling stairs, eventually leading you all to a large wooden door. this door held no knob or keyhole, instead a golden eagle knocker.

your prefect turns to you all, "to get into the common room, there will be a riddle. the riddle changes every day. if you're unable to answer or get the answer wrong, you will be required to wait until another student comes who can"

you turn back to the door, head tilting slightly.

the prefect steps forward, knocking the eagle knocker and looking at the riddle that appeared on the door.

"what is full of holes but still has water?" your prefect asks the group with a smile.

a few murmur amongst themselves, but a boy raises his hand and answers, " a sponge"

the doors swing open and all the other first-years gasp in awe.

the room was a dome, the edge of the floor being wrapped with blue, starry-carpet matching the roof, which held all the same pattern.

there were blue curtains and in the middle of the room a large circle area with just sandstone, which was sliding up the walls also. deep blue lounges and stools decorate the area, bookshelves filled with books and a big, shining chandelier.

the prefect tells you of the sleeping arrangements, boys to the left, girls to the right.

you were assigned with padma patil in the one room.

the both of you walk in, inside was two four-poster beds with shiny blue sheeting and blue curtains.

the two of you unpack silently before heading to sleep without a single word shared.
