The Stone

Chapter Eight

Sorry for the wait, I've been dealing with some personal issues so updates could get a little slow. 

*Crawls into a dark hole trying to hide from emotions by binge listening to One Direction and watching my favorite TV shows/films*

"Wakey, wakey"

"Five more minutes" Bella murmured before snuggling back into her pillow.

"We have classes"

"And? They'd still be there when I wake up"

"It's our first day" The voice whispered again. 

Bella turned over onto her side. "Still not seeing the problem...now, let me sleep"

"I really didn't want to do this," The voice said before a pillow came crashing down on Bella's head. "WAKE UP!"

Bella jostled awake and sat up right in her bed. She tried to calm down her breathing from the shock of being hit by a pillow whilst looking to her left to see the person who woke her up. Hermione. Hermione was sat at the edge of her bed grinning, she was already dressed in her uniform and she placed the pillow that she used to wake Bella up in her lap. 

"Morning sleepy head!" 

Bella glared at her grinning friend. "I hate you" she laid back down on her bed and snuggled back under her covers. "Why can't you just let me sleep"

"Love you too" Hermione rolled her eyes before placing the pillow next to her and ripping the covers off Bella's body causing Bella to shiver and curl into a tight ball from the sudden contact of cold air. "Come on, up! Breakfast starts in 20 and we can't be late because they're giving out our timetables"

Bella sighed. "Not hungry" She glanced at Hermione. "Can't you just grab me my timetable?"

"No, I cannot" Hermione huffed. "Besides, you still have your bag to pack"

Bella's eyes snapped open "Crap"

She jumped out of bed, flinching as the cold wooden floor touched her bare feet as she ran towards her trunk. She ignored the twinkle in Hermione's eyes as she grabbed her uniform and went to the adjoining door that was at the far end of the room. Everyone else's beds were empty meaning everyone else had woken up not like that bothered Bella, she wasn't a morning person and she normally didn't get up before the afternoon unless she had to. 

She pushed open the bathroom door and turned on the light before shutting the door behind her and locking it. The bathroom was like any other bathroom, it had a huge separate shower and bath, a toilet, a sink and a counter to rest your stuff on. The walls were red and gold and had miniature lions dotted around to represent Gryffindor.  Bella placed her uniform and toiletries on the counter before grabbing her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth whilst trying to change her underwear. She put on her uniform ( a gray pleated skirt that reached her knees, gray tights, a white button up shirt, her Hogwarts red and gold tie, a gray cardigan and black flat shoes). Once she was dressed, she brushed her hair and braided it so it fell down her back and sprayed some perfume. She may be eleven years old, but smelling bad is something that she doesn't want. Satisfied, she placed her black robes over her arm, grabbed her bag of toiletries and walked out of the bathroom after turning off the light. 

Hermione looked up from sitting on her bed reading one of the many books they had gotten. "That was fast" she watched as Bella put the stuff she didn't need back into her trunk. "How can you look good in your uniform and I just look like a potato?"

Bella chuckled and glanced at her bushy haired friend. "You don't look like a potato. Besides, uniforms aren't meant to make you look good, they're meant to make you look awful"
