Heirs to Something Greater (d.m)

6: Threats or Curses

A/N: Hello, Lovelies! Enjoy the chapter today, it's very similar to Addy's POV. No TW :)

I woke up to the sound of a coo-coo clock going crazy across the room. I rolled over in a huff before the smell of pumpkin pasties drifting through the air, I shot my head up and saw the others do the same.

"It gets me every single time," Lottie said with a grumble before rolling out of bed. I wasn't sure what she was talking about but Maryann nodded in agreement.

"I thought we ate in the great hall?" I said with a large yawn, I had slept well but 6:30 was pretty early. Especially with the time zone shift, my body was still getting used to European time and it was not treating me well.

"We do, but there's a special flutterby bush in the common room," Lottie explained while fixing her bed, "Instead of once a century, the flowers bloom every morning for a few hours. As you may know, they emulate the scent that attracts the unwary... which this early in the morning is usually some sort of food."

I nodded in understanding, but honestly, I was too tired to understand what the heck she was saying. I rolled out of bed and then proceeded to stretch, letting out another yawn. Everyone was silent in an early morning haze, I pulled up the yellow and black quilt that adorned the bed and straightened my pillow. I did my usual morning routine, I even considered adding eyebrows and mascara to my look for the day. But when I noticed neither of the other girls doing the same thing, I decided to do a light brown mascara for an extremely natural look instead of the usual black.

I groaned as I realized I didn't have my robes yet, and I turned towards the girls. They were both slipping on their grey sweaters, yellow trimming lining the sides.

"I don't have the uniform yet," I sat back down on my bed, beginning to finally wake up. The stupid flutterby bush was making me starving, and I didn't really look forward to having to wear the exact opposite thing as everyone else again.

"Really? I got mine the night I got sorted... It must be because you're new, I'd ask either Professor Sprout or Professor McGonagall as she usually takes responsibility for the first years," Lottie said as she adjusted her hood.

I sighed to myself and put on some more low-key looking clothes. Hopefully, people wouldn't notice at breakfast and I'd be fine. I then decided to do something different with my hair than a bun, I went over to the mirror and pulled the curly mess into a high ponytail. I'd have to take a shower soon, because the mess wasn't gonna look half this good by the end of the day.

"You didn't tell us you snored Bloom," Lottie snickered and I turned to look at her with a bit of offense on my face.

"I don't snore!" I said with a bit of astonishment in my voice, Addy hadn't said anything about it when we shared a dorm.

"Sure you don't..." Maryann chimed in with a teasing look. I did a quick sarcastic smile before turning back to the mirror and fixing my hair again.

"I don't have any textbooks, we didn't get a chance to go shopping for them," I said, I was a complete mess and it was only the first day. I slipped my wand in my pocket carefully, I love my wan greatly and it had gotten me out of many tough situations.

"I suppose you'll just have to use classroom ones, until you get new ones," Lottie said with a reassuring smile before closing her trunk lightly. Maryann had just finished tying her shoes, which were extremely cute compared to my mary-jane styled ones, so she stood up and did a quick spin.

"Off I go then, I'll see you guys at the table? Or would you like me to wait for you in the common room?" She asked while slowly walking through the door into the tunnel.
