Heirs to Something Greater

6; You'll Regret It

Ringing rang out through the dorm, pulling me from my slumber. It went off for a few annoying seconds before shutting off immediately. Hermione was already shuffling out of bed and Ginny was sitting up across the room. I looked over to the clock on the wall to see it read six thirty exactly. I let out a groan before throwing off the covers that kept me warm all night. I slid my legs out from the bed and shuddered as my bare feet hit the cold floor.

    "Well how did you sleep Adeline?" Hermione's small smile was on her face as she smoothed out her bedsheets.

    "It was good, very good actually." I remembered my dream and smiled to myself.

Hermione and Ginny both let out a small giggle at the smile on my face and Ginny finally asked,

"Did you have a good dream?"

    "Yeah you could say that." We all laughed a little before going off on our own to get ready for the first day of classes. I put on the same clothes I had on yesterday. They were clean anyways and I had barely worn them. I would get a new sweater and tie, along with a robe sometime soon too. I decided to leave my plain tie and black robe on my bed, but hoped McGonagall would have Gryffindor items for me this morning. I left my brown hair to lay on my shoulders and back. It was a little wavy and looked fine naturally, but I made sure I had a hair tie on my wrist in case I needed to pull it back.

    "Make sure you have your wand. We'll have time to get our textbooks before classes if we need them today but we can get them after classes too." Hermione had come back into the room and was tidying up things before she was ready to leave.

    "Okay thanks. I just have to do a few more things and I'll be ready." I still wanted to put a bit of mascara on, and then had to dig my wand out of my backpack.

    "I'll wait for you downstairs." She smiled and walked out of the dorm. I was glad she would be accompanying me to the great hall so I could be sure I wouldn't get lost.

    I walked over to the mirror that hung on the side of the wall and curled my eyelashes before applying a thin coat of mascara that enhanced my eyelashes. I picked my backpack up off the ground and grabbed my phoenix core spruce wand before walking out of the door and closing it behind me.

    I saw the twins, Harry, Hermione, Ginny and Ron all waiting by the door, talking among themselves. They all looked up at me when I walked in.

    "Well then, It's about time." Thank you George. At least I didn't keep them waiting for super long.

    "I'm starved, can we just go to this breakfast that is apparently so amazing?" Fred was the one who said it was so good last night.

    They all turned around and followed Harry out of the common room. I lightly brushed  Hermione's arm to get her attention, "Do you know if McGonagall will have a robe and tie for me to get this morning?"

    "We can look for her on our way into the great hall and ask her for them. She should be in there handing out schedules already."

    "Okay sweet, I'd rather wear Gryffindor attire over plain black ones." I pulled at the plain black sweater on my stomach and she let out a laugh which I smiled to in return. 

    I was still tired, really tired. This time zone change wasn't the easiest thing to deal with but throughout the week, I should be able to adjust. We all made our way to the great hall, mostly in silence. Students were already crowding their house tables inside and were indulging in the various foods that covered the tables. I was hungry, very hungry, but I wanted to figure out my tie and robe situation first.
