☀︎︎Y/N POV☀︎︎

After everyone had eaten their food, Dumbledore clapped twice and the food, plates, cups and cutlery disappeared from the tables. Dumbledore then cleared his throat to show that he would begin talking, and everyone fell silent.

"Ahem- Just a few more words now that we have been fed and watered. I have a few start of term notices to let you all know."

"First years... and others." He glared over at the Weasley twins causing a few Gryffindors to chuckle.
"Should note that the forest on our grounds is strictly Forbidden to ALL students as in its name, 'the forbidden forest'. I have also been asked by Mr.Filch, the caretaker to remind you all that there is to be no magic being used in the school corridors in between classes."

"Quidditch trials will be held in the second week of term. Anyone interested in playing for their house teams should contact Madam Hooch" I started to smile at this, and then remembered the note I had from my mothers that I had to hand in to one of the professors.

"I must tell you that this year, the third floor corridor on the right hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death." I laughed at this, but I was one of the few who did, along with Harry and a couple other first years.

"He's not serious, is he?" I muttered to Layla.
"Must be.. it's odd because he usually gives us a reason as to why we shouldn't go to specific places in the castle".

"And finally, I believe there may be a couple students with special notes to hand in, please remember, if you are one of them, to hand them in to either myself, Professor McGonagall, or your head of house, now before we head off to bed, let us sing the school song!".
'𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒆?' I thought, rolling my eyes and preparing for horrible voices to start singing.

Dumbledore gave his wand a little flick and a long golden ribbon flew out of it, which rose high above the tables and twisted into words.

"Everyone pick their favourite tune, and off we go!" Shouted Dumbledore cheerfully.
And the school started singing.

Hogwarts, hogwarts,
Hoggy warty hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bit of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.
It sure was a weird song.

Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins, B/n and I were left singing along. Once we all finished, Dumbledore was one of those who clapped the loudest.

"Ah, music, a magic beyond all we do here! Now, off you trot, it's bedtime."

Everyone followed their head boys and girls to the house common rooms.

I left the hall, guided by Ravenclaws other head girl, Vera Firestein. I got to know her pretty well, she's a metamorphmagus.

Once we were guided up to the Ravenclaw common room Vera spoke us through the rules, we all headed up to our dorms to unpack our belongings.

I decided to lounge about in the common room in front of the fire since I'm not sure whether or not to unpack seeing as I'm going to be moving from one dorm to the other. I heard someone walking down the stairs from the girls dorms and turned to see Layla.
