Recap:  

   I plonk myself on to my extremely comfortable bed, and Lavinia meows in protest. She jumps onto my chest and settles down, before beginning to purr. Luckily, we get a day off tomorrow to settle down and do as we pleased. I gently stroke Lavinia's soft fur as I to, soon fall into a deep slumber.

Chapter 6 - Settling In

Ravenna's POV:

   I wake up the next morning to a constant meowing. I had forgotten to close the blinds the night earlier, and I was seriously regretting it now. I slowly open my eyes, squinting in the bright sunlight shining through the glass french doors. I’m a bit confused as to where I am, and then it all hits me. I’m back at Hogwarts with Ron, Harry and Hermione, I’m Head Girl, and I have to share a dorm with ex-death eater, Draco Malfoy. Yay me!! Sense the sarcasm…

   Lavinia is not curled up on my chest like last night. Instead, she is sitting by the french doors, meowing to be let out. I groggily rub my eye and walk slowly to where Lavinia is impatiently waiting. I swing open the doors, and Lavinia immediately jumps onto the balcony railing. I have no worries about her falling, because doing things like that, for her, is like me walking.

   I walk back into my room and shut the doors, as there is a cool breeze outside. I check the clock on my bedside table, and see that it is only 7.30am. Damn… I was hoping for a sleep in this morning. I yawn and go to stand in front of the chest of drawers mirror. My robes are all crumpled and my hair is a mess. I open the door leading to the bathroom and walk in.

   I can immediately tell that Draco has already been in here, because the Slytherin towels are dripping wet, one of the two sinks has all sorts of products on them, and there is water dripping down the shower walls.

   I quickly lock all the doors, and using magic, I strip off all my clothes without lifting a finger. It lands in a crumpled pile at my feet. I look in the bathroom mirror and assess myself. My body is relatively slim, my breasts are more on the larger side, but they’re not overly large, and overall, I’m very happy with what I see.

    l open the clear shower door and start playing with all the different knobs there. I finally settle for a strawberry scented shower. I step in and sigh as the hot water hits my skin.

   One of the two ledges is already occupied with an assortment of shampoos, conditioners and soap, the other one is presumably for me. I once again, use my powers to ‘teleport’ my belongings out of my trunk and onto the ledge. I use my favourite vanilla and lavender scented shampoo and conditioner to wash my hair, and after that, just stand in the shower, relaxing.

   Suddenly, there’s a loud banging on the door. “Thorne! Open up!!” Draco shouts, and I am jerked back to reality. “What??! No! I’m in the shower!” I shriek back. “It’ll only be for a second! Open up! I have places to be, and I need my ring!” Draco says calmly. “Ring? What are you, a female??” I retort, unsure whether to take him seriously. “If you must know, that is my mother’s ring and I don’t go anywhere without it. Now, get out, or I’m coming in!” He replies.

   “You wouldn’t dare.” I say warningly. “Just watch me.” I can almost see his smirk through the door. I quickly turn off the water and step out of the shower, just as I hear him say, “Alohomora.” I just get my towel wrapped around my dripping wet body, when the door is opened with a loud bang. My mouth drops open. I can’t believe he actually did that!
