brylee woke up twice that night in the girls dormitory for the fifth year ravenclaws.
the first time she woke up, however, she dreamt of her mother and her fate, how she'd die in the infirmary wing of hogwarts in brylee's fifth year. brylee wondered if there was a way to stop that, to change her fate. the second time she woke up, brylee felt like she was drowning, mentally and physically. she was in a dark cave and in the murky water, the face of regulus black looked up at her.
both times she woke up in cold sweat, hoping that everything from the last two days was just a long dream, that she was home in hogwarts with her two best friends, ginny and luna. both times, her hopes her destroyed.
the next morning, brylee pretended like everything was normal. that she was normal, and not born in a completely different time period from the others. she introduced herself to the two girls in her dorm, not including racquelle or herself, julie, a petite blonde, and diane, a tall redhead, whose entire personality was that she was a chaser on the quidditch team.
at breakfast, the ravenclaw head of house, professor barclay, introduced herself. she seemed strict, and unbending towards rules. immediately, brylee missed professor flitwick who was the ravenclaw head of house in her time. she handed brylee a timetable of various classes for each day of the week.
her first class of the day, potions with the slytherins.
getting to the potions classroom was not a problem for her, though because she was "new" to the school, she followed racquelle and her blonde friend, julie.
upon arriving at the classroom in the dungeons, brylee felt a wave of familiarity wash over her. the room looked exactly as the same as in her time. all the books in the same place. the ingredients in the same cabinet. the students in the same seating arrangements. the only thing that differed was the students. this year, she would have potions with the slytherins rather than the hufflepuffs it seemed.
racquelle dropped off her books at her desk with julie and met up with brylee. "let me introduce you to professor slughorn. he'll help with the seating and books, though i'm pretty sure there's only one seat left."
brylee nodded a quick thanks and walked towards the front of the mostly empty room where slughorn stood. she stood mostly to the side as racquelle talked to the tall man, smiling awkwardly when he looked over at her.
"ah, mrs. nephele, is that right? i'm pleased to welcome you to hogwarts," he said to brylee as racquelle walked away. "let me show you your seat and then i'll get you your books, is that alright?"
