........................................................................
After getting settled back in our dorm room me and my roommates Penny, Agatha and Trixie head down to the Great Hall for The Start Of Term Feast.

The Great Hall is lit up as always with thousands of floating candles.
I look up at the High Table, my favorite Professors are sitting there. Professor Longbottom is talking to Madam Hooch, who is getting old but still the ref of the Quidditch games and one of the most awesome teachers at Hogwarts.
And of course the headmistress Professor McGonagall (she is most amazing, smart and badass person to ever live basically).

Rose Weasley who is in the year above us with James waves to us from the Gryffindor table.
Agatha sits down, she's a Gryffindor. After we say hi to everyone we haven't seen yet Me, Penny and Trixie head to our tables.
Pennys a Ravenclaw and Trixie and is in Slytherin.
I've always been the closest with Penny we seem to understand each other with out saying a word.

I can't help but over look over at the Slytherin table. there she is. she looks better and better ever year, and every year the group of drooling boys around her grows.
she looks up and we make eye contact, my face starts burning and my heart skips a beat. I look down and hope my face is not as red as it feels, every time I see her for the first time after the summer I don't remember how to function around her.
I can see Albus look at me from the Slytherin table with a questioning look on his face, he's the last person I wanna talk about this with, I'm kinda of worried he has a thing for me.

Professor McGonagall stands up and the room falls silent, she picks up the Sorting Hat and the names start getting called out. Terrified for first years come one by one, sit on the stool and get sorted into their house. Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Gryffindor again every house cheers and welcomes the newcomers to the tables with smilies, whistles and high fives. I love this part every year, the excitement, relief and pride on the faces of the young student starting at Hogwarts.
the last first year heads off to Slytherin and finally out comes the food. Roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb, sausages, bacon, steak with kidney pie, potatoes and my favorite Yorkshire pudding all come flooting magically down the big tables.
we start stuffing our faces, cold butterbeer pours itself into our cups and the sound of happy chatter and cutlery being used fills the Great Hall.
The tables begin to clear themselves off and Professor McGonagall stands up again, when the room is silent she begins her opening speech (I know that before I came to the school when the late Professor Dumbledore when was the Headmaster he gave a very short speech before the food, Professor McGonagall understood that making people wait for their food wasn't a good idea).
"A very best of evenings to you all..." I've heard this speech 5 times already and for the first time I allow myself to zone out.

At some point Alice ( Professor Longbottom's daughter, she is in my year and we are pretty good friends) taps me on the shoulder. I turn to look at her she's smirking. "what?" I say rolling my eyes "well, If you you would have spent any more time staring at her I think you jaw would become unhinged" she answered. my ears turn bright red, "amused are we?" I say turning to look at my plate that has wiped itself clean.
she laughs, " I don't know how it's still funny since you have been ga ga for her since day one but it really is." I grown and put my head down the table.
Professor McGonagall sits down and the students clap. I pick my head up off the table just in time to watch the ice creams, Apple pies, spotted dick, jam doughnuts, pumpkin pie, strawberries, jelly, rice pudding and chocolate trifles land on the tables. there is always room for dessert.

The feast is over and I'm so ready to sleep, each house heads off after there head of house to the common room. our head of house is Professor Vector who teaches Arithmancy (I think Roses dad Ron scared of the class because she won't even look her in the eye).

I stand back for a minute to in the kitchen door to look at Johnny, whos the head boy of our house, gathering the first years to explain to them about the Hufflepuff common room. they are so small and innocent.

I head to the back of the kitchen to the stack of wine barrels and tap on the barrel two from the bottom, middle of the second row, will open if tapped in the rhythm of Helga Hufflepuff witch opens the common room (only known to the Hufflepuff house of course). I hang out in the common room for a while with Alice and the go off to bed.

My dorm room is not part of any of the common rooms since there are members of all the houses in it. there are 4 rooms like mine, two boys two girls each room is made up of the the leading students of four different complicated and mysterious fields of magic. ours is the history of Shape Shifting. (the one by Gryffindor is the history of the Petronas. Slytherin is the history of the Dark Arts and Ravenclaw is the history of Spell Invention).
Penny and Agatha are already disagreeing on some article that came out in The Daily Prophet this morning about house elves. I roll my eyes and get ready for bed when an hour passes and they don't shut up I get pissed, "it's been a while since I've use the charm let's see if I've still got it" I thought to myself. "Silencio (the silencing charm) is a wonderful gift when you have to stubborn roommates won't shut up" I said with a smile as they both tried to yell with no luck.
"the sooner you sleep the less you'll be speechless. GOOD NIGHT" a few seconds later we were all out.
