Elizabeth sat up in bed and stretched, forgetting where she was for a moment. When she opened her eyes and blinked a few times she furrowed her eyebrows then grinned in realization. She rushed over to Angelina's bed and shook Angelina.

"Ange! It's our first day!" Angelina rolled over and groaned before finally sitting up.

"What time's breakfast," She suddenly asked. Angelina was by no means fat or ugly. She was naturally pretty and slim, just like Elizabeth. Elizabeth shrugged.

"We should probably get dressed, though." She said, looking through her drawers for her robes. She pulled them out, ut on some clothes and put the robes on top. They both scampered down the stairs and out the door. On the way down, a vanishing stair vanished beneath Elizabeth's feet and a third year, who she had met the night before, barely caught her. "Careful, now, Elizabeth is it?" He asked, smiling at her.

"Yes. Thank you so much! You're Oliver, right?" Elizabeth asked. Oliver nodded and turned to Angelina.

"And you're Angelina," Angelina nodded. "Just be careful you two. I wouldn't want any broken ankles for Gryffindor on the first day." They walked down the rest of the stairs before separating into different ends of the Gryffindor table. The girls had just sat down to the table when Fred and George rushed and sat down breathlessly. "Grabbed our time tables right out from under Head Boy's nose." Fred whispered studying his.

"Really easy too. Fred and I have the same schedule." George said. At that moment, Head Boy handed the two girls their timetables, nodded and went to sit at the head of the table with the rest of the prefects of Gryffindor. Lee walked up carrying his timetable and a few books and quills.

"Transfigurations first," he said. "What about you?" They all nodded their heads. All five had the identical schedule.

George sighed and said whimsically, "We just can't seem to get a break from our dear old 'shortcakes' now can we?"

Elizabeth started beating George over the head with a few books before settling down and giving him a vicious look. "Don't you dare call me that, George Fabian Weasley, or as soon as I learn a truely horrid curse, I shall use it on you, and you will regret it!" She steamed, knowing that the nickname was all in good fun. George pretended to be horrified then absolutely scared, but failed miserably, and the quintet burst into fits of laughter earning a few glances from nearby neighbors.

Lee looked at his watch. "Better get an early start just to get our teachers' hopes up and have high excpectations of us." He said.

"Mind you, we'll fail to meet those high excpectations and eventually it'll be a miracle that we even show up to class." Fred and George said simultaneously. Elizabeth giggled, Angelina rolled her eyes, and Lee nodded in complete agreement. As they were getting up from the table, the twins' brothers, Charlie and Percy, popped up behind them.

"Hey, don't do anything stupid on your first day here, okay, and congrats on making Gryffindor like the rest of us!" Charlie said giving his little brothers a good, tight hug. He then turned to Elizabeth, "Hey Lizzie! Congrats and welcome to Hogwarts! I haven't seen you in forever!" He glances down at his watch and hugs Elizabeth quickly. "I can't wait to catch up, but I only have five minutes before my Defense class. See you all later!" And with that he raced off.

"Please don't ruin my reputation, alright? That's all I'm asking." Percy was pleading with the twins.

"Don't worry, Perce! I'll make sure they're good!" Elizabeth pipped up, winking mischievously at the twins. Percy grinned and gave Elizabeth a huge hug. "Thanks, Lizzie. You'll be the best prefect or even Head Girl someday!" He smiled around, "I'll see you lot later!" He trotted out of the main hall. Elizabeth frowned.

"I still can't believe they still call me Lizzie. Come on! I'm not three anymore!!" Elizabeth sighed and the others laughed.

"Come on," George said linking his arm in Elizabeth's then with Lee's, who grabbed Angelina.

"We have a class to spoil." Fred finished, linking his arm in Elizabeths free arm. She grinned and, arm in arm, with books and quills in hand, the quintet made their way to Transfigurations.
