When Rachel awoke, she noticed her dorm room was empty except for Fay, who was just finishing sorting her tie. Rachel stretched and sat up, rubbing her eyes with a smile. She'd never slept so well. She glanced at Hermione's bed and noticed it was empty and had been perfectly made as it always was, every morning.
"Oh, morning!" Fay said bright and cheerfully as she looked over at Rachel.
"Morning, Fay." Rachel said, climbing out of bed. "Is everyone at breakfast?"
"Yes, I've just come back... breakfast ends in ten minutes so you might want to be quick."
Rachel threw herself from the bed, cursing under her breath, as she grabbed the clothes that hung on the dresser. Ignoring Fay's shocked face at how fast she had moved, Rachel fiddled with the buttons on her shirt. She ran out of the dorms, her tie hanging loosely from around her neck.
Having successfully made it to the Great Hall in time, Rachel grabbed an apple off the tables, only to be greeted by Hermione sniggering.
"Morning, sleeping beauty." She teased, soon standing up and leading Rachel out of the hall and to their class.
Rachel rolled her eyes and continued to eat her apple, her bed-head hair still intact.
"So, Rachel... um what happened last night? We never talked about it." Hermione asked.
With a smile, Rachel began to explain the night she saw her parents in the mirror of Erised. She continued on to explain the photograph Harry had dropped, as well as the conversation Rachel had with Remus and Dumbledore. By time she finished her story, Hermione's mouth was agape.
"Wow, gosh! That is... I'm shocked for words, Rachel!" She stammered.
"I know, how do you think me and Harry were? We were crying, oh don't tell him I told you he may not like it that." Rachel laughed.
"Hello, trouble." Two voices said in unison.
Rachel turned and spotted the twins, walking towards both Rachel and Hermione with smiles on their faces.
"Hi, boys!" Rachel spoke through bites of her apple.
"You shouldn't speak with your mouth open-" George began to say.
"It's extremely rude." Fred finished, leaning in towards Rachel.
She rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out, taking a large bit of her apple. Fred smiled at her, his eyes resting on her face for slightly too long. He shook his head and began to walk on with Rachel and Hermione.
"So, what do you have first?" Fred asked her, placing an arm around her shoulder.
"DADA, you?" Rachel smiled.
"Transfiguration." He groaned, making Rachel laugh.
Hermione and George began to whisper to each other, but Rachel couldn't hear them. Only the sniggers they made when they'd glance at the two. Before long, they had to go their separate ways, making promises to hang out later that day.
"Have you seen Harry this morning?" Rachel asked Hermione.
"No, but I heard him and Ronald this morning making their way out of the common room." Hermione answered
They arrived outside the classroom where a group of students were slowly filing into the classroom. Hermione and Rachel jogged up to the pupils and made their way in. The girls quickly stood next to Ron and Harry, who Rachel smiled at.
Remus came out of his office and greeted the students. He then asked them to get out their textbooks and turn to page 21, which was about boggarts. Rachel knew quite a lot about Defence Against the Dark Arts. Remus had taught her plenty to keep her safe, he especially increased their tutoring over summer when rumours began to appear about a break out at Azkaban.
