I take a deep breath as I step out of my car. I walk to the back door to get my suitcase and then take another deep breath before shutting the door and locking my car.

It was actually my mum's but she lent me it for the school year.

I'm going to take the Ministry of Magic course. My mum was digging through something and then found Snape's will. Inside was a letter of recommendation for me.

I clutch the stuffed animal cat Jee gave me before we left for platform 9 3/4. She also gave Celia a dog and Jordis a turtle.

I begin to walk through the doors to the stairs and lifted my suitcase up when I reached the stairs. I had luckily gotten my schedule, keys, and dorm room number before the first day.

I finally made it to the 4th floor of the dorm area and unlocked the door labeled 403.

The room was decent sized with two loft beds at the sides on opposite walls and a desk underneath.

I began to unpack and placed my bedsheets over the mattress on the right bed. Then I placed some pillow covers over the pillows and started organizing my desk.

I placed all my notebooks on the right side and my pencils and pens on the right ledge directly above my notebooks.

I  pin a calendar on the wall of the small desk and then start to unpack my clothes into a small dresser near the door on the right side.

When I was just about done, the door opened to reveal a girl around my age. She had dark ebony black hair that almost reached her waist and the bluest eyes I've ever seen with pale skin like Yoongi.

"Hey, I'm Melany. Are you Harper?" I nod as she brings her suitcase inside. 

I move out of her way as she unpacks. A few minutes later she finishes.

"That was quick..."

"I know. I try to unpack as fast as I can so I have time to look over my schedule," she replies. "What course are you taking?"

"Ministry of Magic."

"Wow! Really?" she looks at me in amazement. "I'm taking Music."

"Oh. Some of my other friends are, too," I say. "What interested you to take a major in music?"

"Well," a light pink tint became visible on her cheeks. "I never really cared for music that much, until I met this certain guy. He was just so passionate about it and made me love music, too."

"That's sweet. Do you like him?" I could tell she did, but I shouldn't jump to conclusions.

"Y-Yeah..." she began to fiddle with the ends of her hair.

I just smile and say goodbye before walking out to meet Jordis and Celia.

I found them giggling near the back of a hallway.

"Harper! Who's your roommate?" Celia immediatley asks me.

"Melany. Why?" I raise an eyebrow at her bubbly attitude.

"Jordis and I are roommates so we were wondering if you got Courtney or Gabbi," Jordis explains.

"Oh," I nod in understanding.

"Oh! And the rest of the boys are here, too!" Jordis begins to bounce up and down.

"How can you be this excited?" I shake my head. "So what are your guy's schedule?"

"First we have Communitcating and then Science. Third period is math," Celia sticks her tongue out. "Fourth is lunch, which will probably be my favorite."

"Fifth period is T.C.O.A, Taking Care of Animals, which will probably be my favorite," Jordis adds on. "Sixth period is examining mythical and magical creatures. Seventh is procedures and then eighth, our final period is Animals 903, whatever that is."

"I have eight periods as well," I say sadly.

"Tae told me earlier that the Music major only has seven periods," Jordis replies.

"You're still lucky you get to work with animals. I have a debate glass," I start to sulk.

"I bet you'll do great," Celia reassured me with a smile. I just shrug.

"Well we gotta go. See you later!" Jordis and Celia wave at me as they begin to walk away to their dorm.

I slowly turn around and make my way back to my dorm. I open the door to see Melany on her desk with a giant pair of headphones over her head. She was making some music or something on her laptop.

I close the door quietly, trying not to disturb her. I walk over to my desk and pull of messengers on my laptop.

Yoongi: how r u fitting in?

Me: pretty good

Yoongi: that's good. R u ready for classes tomorrow? I'm not

Me: at least you got the others boys in ur classes. I have no idea whose in mine

Yoongi:  don't worry, you'll do fine

Me:  -_- that's what everyone's been saying 2 me all day 

Me:  btw whose ur roommate 

Yoongi:  Hoseok. Hbu?

Me:  a girl named Melany. She seems pretty cool

Yoongi:  does she have black hair and blue eyes? I knew a Melany in Slytherin

Me:  yeah

Yoong:  yeah she was in some of my classes. Pretty good and had awesome grades. She helped me in potions here and there

Me:  hey, I could've helped u with potions

Yoongi:  you kinda seemed busy with all ur adventures with ur friends

Me:  but I still would've had time to help 

Yoongi: I didn't know

I decided to end our conversation there. I snuck a look at Melany who was still transfixed on her laptop.

This question would've bugged me forever, so I chose to stand up and tap her shoulder.

She takes off her headphones and looked directly at me. "Yeah?"

"Do you know a guy named Yoongi?"

I see some red appear on her cheeks.

                                                                                 ~*~

Jee's P.O.V

I try to cry as silently as I can, hoping I won't wake my roommates up.

I hadn't seen Jimin or the others since last week and it just got me depressed when they didn't message or send me anything.

Sure I had some acquaintances with these people in Slytherin but none of them I considered friends.

Suddenly my phone flickered, lightening up some of the room. I quickly cover it and look at it from under the covers.

Jiminie:  sorry I haven't been in contact with you lately. Things have been crazy lately since I'm starting college. Anyways, I gtg. Saranghae~ <3

I couldn't help fall asleep with a smile on my face.

Jee:  saranghaeyo Jiminie oppa~
