After staying with Angel, it was time to go back to Hogwarts. We met up with Alicia and Katie in Diagon Alley when we were getting our books and things for the year.

I was boarding the train with George when I heard someone shout from behind me.

"Watch out!"

I ducked my head just as a firework exploded above me.

"Sorry!" the person said sheepishly. "I don't have very good aim. I meant to hit the compartment behind you."

The person was a girl, who looked about my age. She had long brown hair which was tied back in a braid and wide grey eyes similar to mine.

"I'm Rosemary Black. You may know my cousin, Bella. I'm in Ravenclaw."

I shook her hand. "Nice to meet you, Rosemary. Can I call you Rose for short?"

"Sure!"

We finally arrived at the castle and filed off the train. I took my place next to Angel at the Gryffindor table and waited for Dumbledore's speech to begin.

He said the usual things about banned items, etc. About the new D.A.D.A professor, Professor Mildburr. We seem to have a different one every year!

Apparently last year's one was eaten by a pack of angry tigers. Don't ask me why he was even hanging around Tigers; I dunno.

Anyway, we are the feast and then went back to our dorms, where our cases were. Now to start unpacking.

I put all my jeans in the draws and my tops in the cupboard. Each person had their own separate vanity, so I unpacked all my makeup, deodorants, perfumes and body sprays.

After that I got into my pjs and read a bit of my book before settling down. I bet it's a big day tomorrow. Plus, I have the new D.A.D.A teacher first thing...

Oooh! Things are going to start moving quickly now!

Do you like Rosemary? I really like her backstory, which is revealed later....
