Congratulation on getting to the infirmary even before Neville Longbottom

The next day I wake up in our dormitory very content. It's partly because I'm finally here and I can make friends, but I think it's also partly because of what happened last evening. The fact that my plan was so successful and in the end I got him to do everything I wanted makes me feel so good and it promises that next days will also be as good, especially if he keeps his promise and I will meet him again. 

Well, anyway, it seems that I should get up, because I have to eat breakfast and socialize and then there are the lessons, which I probably shouldn't miss because if I did, teachers would probably not become my fans. With this thought in my mind, I get up and look around our room. It's pretty nice, mainly yellow room, which looks homely and inviting. I have four friends here, but sadly none of them are here at the moment, probably because they're eating. Yesterday evening I was too tired to befriend them, which means I should go to the Great Hall and eat with them!

I climb the terrible dirty tunnel and head to the Great Hall, and I find it at once of course because I'm perfect in everything and that also includes my memory. I look around and I quickly spot Megan Jones, one of the other girls from my room. I quickly sit down next to her, politely informing her: "Hi, I'll sit down next to you because anyone else who could sit there would not be as great friend as I'd be."

She looks at me, wrinkles her forehead a little and nods: "Yes, sit down here if you wish so. Isn't bragging a sign of a not very friendly person?"

I conspiratorially lean to her and whisper with a wink: "I'm not bragging, I'm being humble!"
"Really?" she asks me, visibly surprised. Poor girl, she's obviously not accustomed to friendly people and the sheer size of my unbelievable friendliness is beyond her imagination. "Well, I still think not mentioning it at all would be kinder. But if you're really that friendly, I'm sure we'll come along great," she smiles at me.

"Oh!" I exclaim. "That reminds me of a joke! Do you want to hear it?" I ask politely and happily proceed before she can say anything: "Why aren't you that kind? Because German children are... uhhhh... because Italian children are bambini!"

I start laughing but then I notice she's not laughing but looking at me with a confused and slightly hurt expression. 

"What, are you offended by a funny joke? Do you have no sense of humor?" I ask her in a very friendly way.

"N-no, I'm not!" says Megan hastily and pushes her chair a little further from me.

"Good, I hope it stays that way," I add pleasantly.

After that, we don't talk to each other anymore, but I don't mind because I also have to eat and it's clear that we already started to have a wonderful friendship with Megan. I quickly eat my breakfast (I eat some sausages, because I love sausages and I'm so perfect that I don't have to worry about becoming fat), then I wait on my chair.

"You'd better come to class," I hear Megan say when she finishes eating and stands up.

I shake my head. I will come to classes, of course, but I'm bidding my time to come exactly on time so I can be the center of their attention. This way they have a chance to become my friends, and what more would you expect from life?

Ten minutes before the start of the lesson I stand up and start to move graciously towards the classroom. My perfect walking would definitely attract attention of everyone hadn't most of the people already arrived to their classrooms. That shows again that my plan was absolutely flawless and it will be a success. After all, they needn't have rushed at all, this school isn't that big! I, for example, have my first lesson just under the Great Hall. Oh no, that probably means I will be there too soon! Luckily, I'm the most intelligent person to ever attend Hogwarts and therefore I have a simple solution for this trivial problem; I simply go slower. Yeah, this will be it. Nothing can ever prevent me from making the most spectacular – NOOO!!! What is this nonsense, this step just vanished and my leg just got stuck in that hole? It isn't supposed to vanish, it's broken! Call that stupid Headmaster person, he's supposed to be guarding those stairs not to do some nonsense like that! He's definitely not doing his job, not that I'm surprised.
