"Wake up Emmaline!" My best friend and fellow Hufflepuff, Genevieve Wellbourn whispers as she shakes me awake.
"Bloody hell, I'm awake now," I mutter as I rub my eyes and stretch under my duvet.
"It's first day of term!" She says with a big smile on her face. "What classes do you have today?"
"Please, let me wake up first," I plead with a laugh as I reach for my glasses which are placed on the nightstand next to me.
"Whatever," she says with a smirk.
"Isn't it so exciting? It's our fourth year!" Tora Plonk, another Hufflepuff we share our dormitory with. She walks in the door, buzzing with excitement and plops on her bed.
"Oh my days, how long have you all been up for?" I ask as I fully sit up and Genevieve leans back and sits on her bed.
"Well, I just woke up," Fatima Dellagore, our last roommate says as she sits up in her bed. "But good morning to all."
"Good morning," we all say back to her.
"I cannot believe this year Hogwarts will be hosting the Triwizard Tournament!" Tora says, the excitement rushing her body.
"I can just imagine all the hot guys from Durmstang Institute there will be," Genevieve says falling back onto her pillow, placing her hand on her forehead.
"Oh, stuff it," I say, throwing a small decorative pillow off the floor and at her chest.
"Ow!" She says, overdramatizing the situation.
"How will you have time to sneak all those boys into our dormitory Genevieve? We only have one whole year?" Fatima jokes and Tora and I laugh as Genevieve gives Fatima the fakest laugh of all time.
"Ha, ha," Genevieve says rolling her eyes playfully.
"Alright, I need to get ready," I say getting out of bed.
"That you do, I'm already in my robes you slackers!" Tora says before getting off her trunk at the end of her bed. "Now, I must go. I need to stop by the library before my first class."
"You know there's also a thing called breakfast, right?" I ask her as I open my trunk to grab my robes.
"She gets her food through the books," Fatima says making me and Genevieve grin.
"My food for thought," Tora adds as she walks to the door.
"Jesus, you sound like a professor," Genevieve says and Tora snickers before leaving our dormitory.
"Right, now we all better get dressed," I say. "We don't want to be late on the first day."
I start to change out of my pajamas and into my school clothes. We continue to chat as we get dressed. I put my contacts in, brush my teeth, and make sure I don't smell too bad before walking out of the dormitory with Genevieve and Fatima.
"Gen, do you think you could braid my hair at breakfast?" Fatima asks her as we walk down the stairs and into the Hufflepuff commons.
"I guess so," Genevieve says back acting annoyed but really she would rather braid our hair than study any day. We get to the bottom of the steps and walk towards the exit.
"Morning, Genevieve," we hear behind us as we make our way to the door. We turn around to see Cedric Diggory smiling at us.
"Good morning," she says back with a grin and then turning around. We exit the common room, and we squeal.
"I have a hunch of who your date to the Yule Ball will be Gen," I say nudging her as she smiles with a red face.
"Shut up," she says but fails to hold back a smile. We continue to chat as we make our way to the Great Hall for breakfast.
