The following morning, Scarlet insisted on fixing Roxanne's hair to match her own. All Scarlet's new friends complimented the look as they joined them in center of the first year table. Trish, the curly haired girl, even said they looked like twins. Like the night before they had to stand in line and get their own breakfast, but at least this time it wasn't done by year. After breakfast a teacher handed out schedules to all the first years. On the back of the schedules was campus map. At least she wouldn't have to worry about getting lost.

2nd Period 9:30-10:20 British History with Ms. Vilask Room 112, The Winston Churchill Building

*From 3:30 to 4:20 after school there will be scheduled activities to help new students find classes, clubs, or teams they'd like to join. Though no grade will be received for this period attendance is mandatory.
"Ugg, the dance teacher refuses to let me join her private class, so I'm stuck in the general Phys Ed. She clearly has no idea how talented I am," Scarlet said. Then leaned over to look at Roxanne's schedule, "at least we have the exact same schedule."
Roxanne nodded. But looking at her schedule she realized she had no idea what Muggle classes taught. She hoped it wasn't very different from what she had learned in day school.

In English Roxanne sat next to Scarlet two rows back from the front. Which Scarlet explained was, "The perfect balance of appearing smart but not a pet, which is uncool."
"Hello class, I'm Mr. Walsh, please get out a piece of paper and a pencil." The teacher was a chubby man with thinning hair and a thick mustache.
There was a lot of shuffling as everyone hurried to do as he said. Roxanne copied Scarlet and took out one of the thin, flat, white papers, with blue and red lines, and a pencil like Scarlet's.
"Alright, on this paper write your name and a sentence or two about yourself. Then I'd like you to make a list of your favorite books." He smiled at them as if he was really looking forward to what they wrote. "Don't worry, this is so I can get to know you, it doesn't have to be a super long list but if it is, all the better."
Roxanne stared at her blank paper, she didn't think she'd read any Muggle books.
"Do you want us to list authors as well?" Trish, one of Scarlet's friends, asked.
"Just titles will be fine."
At least I can write my name, Roxanne thought. But when she tried her pencil left no mark. It was a different kind of pencil than she was used to, made of something other than wood. The tip almost came to a point, but no matter how hard she pressed no marks appeared on her paper. Glancing around she saw everyone was busily writing, many with pencils like hers.
"Maybe you should sharpen it," Sevastian whispered from just behind her. Roxanne turned to glance at him, he was pointing at the wall where a silver thing with a handle was mounted. Sevastian shrugged, to say he didn't care what she did, it was only a suggestion. Roxanne nodded to him in thanks and then stood and walked to the silver thing.
