I was staring at our dormitory window comfortably positioned in my bed wrapped around my blankets thinking. My roommate, Hermione, has been in the shower for about 10 minutes now and I could feel myself drifting away into my own wonderland until the loud noise of our bathroom door closing, quickly made my attention go back.

"Come on Y/N, I have showered already and you still didn't get out of bed? Do you really want to be late on your first day?"

As much as I loved Hermione, being roommates with her came with complications, she would drag me out of bed each morning, forcing me to wake up at 7:15 AM with no sane explanation. Our classes were starting at 9 and breakfast was served starting off 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM. I glanced at the clock and forced myself to go and take a shower, hoping that it would wake me up. After getting out, I grabbed a towel and headed back to my dormitory.

"I'll wait for you in the common room, okay? Just try to be quick please" Hermione told me and exited the dormitory.

I got on my uniform, did my makeup, tried to do something with my hair to look a little more put together, got my books and headed to the common room .

My first class was Herbology with Hufflepuffs. The subject itself never really fascinated me, I didn't find it difficult but taking proper care of a plant and making sure it has everything it needed was what was giving me a headache. Neville on the other hand was a master at plants, he would always discover a new plant and try to grow it himself and somehow always succeeding. I was walking with him and Hermione to class thinking of what could possibly happen.

"Hello class, I'm glad to see you all once again here, this year not only brings new students but also new topics to discuss about. As you know, last year we have discovered the magic of plants by growing them from scratch, this year, we will learn about the process of reproducing. We will use the plant's flowers in order to create new healthy ones. In order for this to happen I have paired all of you into groups of three. First off, Mr Longbottom, Mr Thomas and Miss Rosier; Then we have, Miss Granger, Mr Finnigan and Miss Abbott. Up next is Miss Saxton, Miss Bones and Mr Brooke.

I didn't pay attention to what the other groups were, I knew Susan Bones pretty well, she was in Hufflepuff, we've had interaction before every once in a while. On the other hand, I've never met Elliot Brooke.

"Ok, so I don't know if you two know each other, Elliot this is Y/N, Y/N this is Elliot." Susan told us with a bright smile on her face

"Um uh, Hi! It's nice meeting you" Elliot added while nervously running a hand through his blonde curls. I could tell he was shy but he seemed like a nice guy.

"It's nice meeting you too.We need to get started on our project. Do any of you have any idea of what we are supposed to do?"

"Uh yeah, so we first need to get the flowers from the plant, only the ones that are slightly dry, but be careful because we don't want to crack the seeds, so be gentle." Elliot seemed to be an expert at what he was doing so we trusted him to do the task.
Surprisingly, Elliot's method of extracting the seeds was successful, but the project itself wasn't done since it would've taken the seeds a few days to completely dry.

The next class, History of Magic with the Ravenclaws went well and now I was now heading to lunch with Hermione, Ron and Harry.
