When I calmed down for good, I told Hermione that I'm tired and want to go to sleep. Clearly, she didn't believe me – a moment ago I had cried a lot of tears – but she didn't argue. We said our goodbyes and lied down in our beds. Not until now did I realize that mine was right next to hers.

I knew that I won't fall asleep for the next couple hours, but I didn't want to talk more about my memories. Besides, Hermione probably didn't have any ideas, how to comfort me. I was lying on the side, closing my eyes and praying to fall asleep as fast as I could – last three years didn't want to leave my mind. So, I started to think about today – yesterday – and only now I realized, that all my worries are gone. Without any problem I got sorted into Gryffindor and I found three people, whom I liked very much – Harry, Ron and Hermione.

And finally, heaven listened to my prayer – I feel asleep.

I wasn't sleeping for long.

Hermione woke me up. Transfiguration was about to start soon.

Our dormitory was bustling. Yesterday, you could only hear quiet whispers and shy, sometimes even nervous laughter. But today? The conversations were louder and bursts into laughter were happening more often. Most of the girls found their soulmates. I was glad that I found mine.

I started rooting in my suitcase to find things for my morning routine. Meanwhile, my roommates gradually started to leave our dorm and finally Hermione and I were the only ones left. We decided that she was going to change here and I was going to the bathroom. I took my things and went into the room.

I looked at myself in the mirror. It was hard not to notice the dark circles. But well – after all, I was sleeping in a new place for the first time, I was sure that I wasn't the only one who had those.

Finally, ready, we left our dormitory. Immediately, we started to talk about our expectations about the lesson.

"I hope that we'll start to use magic today", said Hermione thrilled. "If we talk about the rules of the lessons, I'll fall asleep".

"Better not", I replied and took a turn. We already saw the Great Hall. "Professor can later tell us to use magic on you". I hoped that I sounded seriously, but Hermione laughed, and I couldn't hold my smile anymore.

We occupied our seats at Gryffindor's table. In the hall was much less students than yesterday. I didn't see Harry and Ron anywhere. Maybe they would come later, or they got lost – Hermione and I took a wrong turn a couple of times.

It occurred that, indeed, they took the wrong turns.

A lot of them.

When professor McGonagall told us to find in our textbooks rules, which we should absolutely obey during transfiguration, Ron and Harry ran into the room. Hermione, seeing that, shook her head, done and I was trying to muffle my laugh. I didn't really succeed.

After hearing professor's tight reprimand, the boys took their seats, few tables from mine and Hermione's. Discreetly, I turned around and my and Harry's eyes met. I shook my head, imitating Hermione's face and the boy only shrugged his shoulders.

After the lesson, my friend ran towards our dorm, explaining that she forgot her book to History of Magic, and we were just about to have this class.

"Are we seating together on the history lesson?" I shouted to her, but I didn't know, if she heard me.

She did. "Neville asked me yesterday to sit with him". Hermione turned to me, having unsure look on her face. "I'm so-".

"Don't be". I smiled. "Go", I added, seeing that she was still standing in one place and the time was passing.
