"Adelaide, there's no way you can impress Amit with that book in your hands. If it were more advanced he would me more likely to talk to you, and why don't you just walk over to him and start a conversation, you've been pining over him since 3rd year"

I woke up to the sound of Poppy's voice, she sounded a little annoyed but also a little amused.

"Oh Poppy, I wish it was easy, but why don't you go talk to Garreth, I've seen you ogle him since 4th year…." A scoff left Poppy's mouth.

"What?! "No I don't!"

"Yes, you do!" I am not daft Poppy, you fancy him."

I slowly got up from the bed, my hair was a bird's nest and my face had that fresh morning look. "What time is it?" I rubbed my eyes.

"Oh Hi….I believe I haven't introduced myself to you, I'm Adelaide Oakes. Is it true that you're really a muggle?"

"Adelaide!" Poppy scolded "You can't just say that!"

"What, there's nothing wrong with that question….right?" She turned her gaze to me as if waiting for an answer from me.
Of course I was still tired from my wake up. I thought you'd always be supposed to wake up feeling rested, but when it came to me it was the opposite.

"Uhm..yeah, it's alright Poppy, the question does no harm. And yes I'm a muggle. I hope it's not a problem? It's nice to meet you Adelaide, I'm Emsy Stattle."

"No problem at all! It's about your personality not about what you are, no worries." She sat down next to me and smiled.
"So, we were just talking about boys, has one caught your eye already?"

"Uhmm…no, not really" I thought back to my unpleasant conversation with Sebastian. He did catch my eye but not in the good way, he left quite a terrible impression on me. But I cannot lie about the fact that he was indeed a good looking boy, I bet all the girls want to count those freckles of his.

"Oh, well, that's alright I guess. Well, Poppy, we better be off for breakfast. Our first class is Charms  for today. We can't be late or else Professor Ronen will make fun of us for that for the rest of the school year. You'll be alright?"

I nodded, their first day, filled with classes, and what do I do? I'll probably roam around the castle. Or find that library to read a little and wait until I can go to professor Weasley with Marcella. She said something about a place called Hogsmeade? Anyway…I got out of bed and started my morning routine.
Breakfast was held in the Great Hall so I'd have to go there first. Everything should be fine.

"Okay so I remember these Hallways, i'd have to make a left…right….arrgh no, wrong turn"
I mutter to myself. As expected I got lost in the halls of Hogwarts, and I was hungry. And if I am hungry my emotions are always a bit jumbled. I was just like my father. "Don't talk to me until I've had my morning coffee and breakfast" He would say. I missed him, I missed my mother. What would they do at this moment? Will they notice that I'm gone? If I do return to my own time will I return to the moment I disappeared, or would I be gone for a while?  

I turned another corner, dead end…great
"Ah the muggle got lost?"
Ugh, speak of the devil…I turned around to be met with Sebastian Sallow. I really couldn't deal with him at this moment. That bloody smug grin of his, he seemed rather amused by my misery.

"I thought you would be accompanied by Poppy, but how wrong was I? Seems she'd rather move along without you, I can't blame her. I wouldn't want to be associated with a muggle as well….You still haven't answered my question by the way"

He took a step forward, his back was straight and his eyes bore into mine. He really had that effect on me that made me feel an utter useless thing.
"So what's a muggle's business here? At a school meant for wizards and witches?" He squinted his eyes, as if he could squeeze the answer out of me while he waited for what I was going to say.
