John had woken up, ready to start the new day and go to his first lesson at Hogwarts. He could see the people around him getting ready for the morning too. In fact the only person he couldn't see was Sherlock. To be honest, he could be anywhere, so John went into the bathroom to get himself ready and told himself that he would find Sherlock before first lesson.

In fact, Sherlock was in the dormitory at that moment. Well, not really. He was outside the window that was next to his bed. He had decided last night to make a room that he could go into and do his experiments in without disturbing the other boys in his dormitory. The idea had come to him last night 30 minutes after everyone else had gone to sleep. He had crept down and asked one of the 6th years to conjure him some planks. They were the only ones left awake, and while they were dubious at first, they agreed and now Sherlock was making a basic frame for his room. He only had the ceiling left to do.

Of corse, this was only the first room. He still had to decorate this and furnish it with normal things a bedroom would have in, such as drawes and a bed. Once he had done this, he would expand, and create experimenting rooms for himself. He's have to ask an older year to teach him how to do the silencing chatm, as he couldn't do that yet. It was actually surprisingly easy to make his room, now that he could do magic. He would levitate the planks into the position that they needed to be in, then use a sticking charm to get them to stay together. Even though he knew he wouldn't fall, he had still put a cushioning charm on himself in case he did.

Some of the charms he had learnt were well beyond OWL level (John had told him about the exams). He seemed to be a natural at charms, though he had had a lot of time in the holiays to practice too. Seeing as he didn't go to sleep every day, he would use that time to revise spells he thought useful from his boooks. Realising what the time was, he put the finishing touches to his room and jumped out of the window back into his plain old bed. He saw John and together they walked down to breakfast. He had missed breakfast, but it wasn't like he was really going to have eaten anything anyway.

As they waited outside the charms classroom for Proffessor Flitwick to turn up, he told John about his room. "It's through the window" He whispered. "But don't tell anyone. I would like to stop people from entering the room if at all possible. They would... Mess things up. Past experiences" He said, thinking back to the time when he had invited someone round to his house and they had destroyed everything in his room.

John raised his eyebrows at Sherlock and said, "Wow. Only you would do something like that on your first day at school. Only you Sherlock". At this point, Proffessor Flitwick came down the corridor and told them to go into the room. Sherlock and John were paired up with two hufflepuffs called Hazel Lancaster and Augustus Waters. There seemed to be something strange about the two of them, and Sherlock began to duduce them.

Definitely ill, or were in the past two days. Were dressed in a rush. Outside last night, as they didn't have time to rub all the dirt off them, Hazel still has dirt on her chin. Seem to be used to it though, so it is something that happens every once in a while and is predictable. They seem to be pale and tired, as if they didn't get much sleep last night. They aren't complaining though, so it happens a lot. Possible every month. Wait...

Sherlock thought back to last night where he had heard a noise from outside. They couldn't be...

"You're werewolves."

A/N DUN DUN DUUUUNNN! Yeah, I had to think of a different illness for them as I presume cancer could be cured if magic was real? I'd be happy for any comments made, even if it's to say how I could do better. Thanks for reading this and I hope you are enjoying it. I'm thinking of doing 5 or so chapters from one person in one house's point of view then switching to another house, say for example the next few chapters are Hazel's point of view. Sound ok?

Till next time
