After everyone is full from the feast the Prefects lead the First Years to their House Dormitory, Terra followed along with her fellow Hufflepuff's the Perfects lead them to where their House is, Rolf as the boy Prefect and the girl Prefect brought them to the basement, where the entrance to Hogwarts Kitchens was nearby, the group came in front of a pile of large barrels. Of these, the two older students informed the first years how to enter the Common Room, the barrel two from the bottom, middle of the second row, opened after Rolf tapped in the rhythm of 'Helga Hufflepuff'.
Once inside, Terra now understood why Rolf says that it felt like a second home to him, the Common Room was huge, the style was quite similar to the Scamander Cottage, with the plants in terracotta pots either on wooden shelves or hanging from above, cosy armchairs and settees and the temperature in the room was just right, not too hot nor too cold it was perfect. Rolf showed where the boys would be sleeping and the Girl Prefect showed the girls bedroom, the beds are furnished with comfortable wooden bedsteads, all covered in patchwork quilts. Terra spotted her trunk with her initials T.M.L.S, her bag, and her Owl cage now empty, she was informed by her Father that the Owls will be at the Owlery located at the West Tower.
Terra noticed that most of her Hufflepuff roommates are getting ready for bed, going along with the idea, she opens her trunk, and starts taking out a few belongings to help in the morning, like putting her books in her bag, never knowing what subjects will be on the first day, as she starts to get her PJs out, she spotted something moving under her knitted jumper, she carefully lifted it up and had to stop herself from gasping out of shock, she looked backed at her roommates, thankful they didn't notice it.
She picks up her jumper what was moving in her trunk safe and quietly hurried to the bathroom, and placed it on the sink. What was moving appeared out of the jumper.
"Lulu?!" Terra whispered, not wanting anyone to hear her. "What are you doing here? I put you back at your tree before packing my stuff yesterday. Oh, you must have followed me from the woods."
Lulu climbed on her sleeve up to her shoulder, walked up to her to hug her cheek nuzzling into her face, Terra giggled at the Bowtruckle's affection, she could not kid herself, she missed Lulu even if it was 24 hours ago, she needed this.
"Yeah I missed you too," Terra confessed. "I'll have to let Dad know in the morning, he said he would check up on you, you'll have to stay hidden, not here in the Common Room where everyone comes and goes, you stay in my robe pocket that way I know you're safe."
Lulu climbed down into her inside robe pocket near her chest, once nestled she pokes her head out, looking up at Terra chirping happily, Terra smiled down at her.
"Ok, big day tomorrow, better get to bed," Terra says to herself.
========================================================================================================================
Terra woke up early, got her stuff making sure Lulu was safe in her pocket, and quietly leaved her bedroom not to disturb her Roommates, before going to sleep she wrote a small letter to let her Father know, after asking the Fat Friar Ghost on how to get to the West tower, she made it there in no time. She entered the tower where countless Owls were sat, some sleeping but most were wide awake.
"Archimedes," she called out.
Hearing a hoot that she recognised, the Barn Owl came flying down on a stone pillar.
