It was morning. Elizabeth set next to the window. She did it that way every year. She always got up in the first day at school early and looked out of the window. She loved it here at Hogwarts. She extremly looked forward to the start of the new school year. Now the sixth one. She decided that year will be ground-breaking. She must help her house: Ravenclaw to win the bloody house cup of course! It escaped them the last few years only by a hair's breadth. She also decided to visit the professor Flitwick's school choir. She was not a bad singer, exactly the other way round.
She had not got many friends at school. She had two friends and that was enough for her. Yes, they were only two but priceless. Oliver Howl and Hellen James were students from Ravenclaw house too. Oliver was a pureblood wizard. He was lucky, because he didn't have to hear insults like: You mudblood! and so one. But Hellen had to. She was mudblood, but she dealt with the insults partly. Elizabeth did not understand why the Slytherins are doing this and she hated them for it. Especially she could not stand that arrogant idiot Malfoy. Draco Malfoy was like the Slytherin prince and when he made up his mind to do something, the rest of all Slytherins did it too. She hoped secretly, that his brain had already ripened but she questioned about it strongly. She hated Slytherin mostly because of Hellen. Elizabeth was a halfblood wizard in fact, so she did not have to deal with these insults like Hellen. But Hellen was her best friend so she had to protect her.
Elizabeth gave a sigh, looked at her wrist watch, which showed a half past five now. It was time to prepare at the first day of school. She got up from the floor , grabbed her brush and headed to the mirror. Elizabeth combed her blonde half-lenght hair thoroughly. Afterwards, she grabbed a gel arranged them a little. It looked quite passable. Just a little lip gloss and eye lines and done! She had not to think about what to wear, which was always the hardest for her, because of the uniforms. Elizabeth came back to the bedroom and looked at her roommates, whose were finally up. "Hi." said Hellen, who slept next to Elizabeth and stretched herself with a yawn. "How long have you been up again?" Elizabeth smiled faintly at her. "El, you're always doing it every year, why can't you sleep longer only once. I don't understand you." said Hellen and shook her head. "I don't know. I am probably weird or something, but I just love mornings and the new school year's start too." Elizabeth started to prepare her text books and some school supplies.
When Hellen was prepared too, they both went across the common room to the exit from the Ravenclaw chambers. There Oliver joined them. He seemed to be as excited about the new year's start as Elizabeth. "Heeey!" he said with a smile on his face. "Can't wait for breakfast, huh?" - "That's the only thing you think about? The food?" Laughed Elizabeth. Oliver really loved food. Especially here. The rarity about the Hogwarts' food was, that the food was truly delicious. Not like ordinary school food, which cause you a stomachache. In Hogwarts, when someone said something about the school food, everyone looked dreamily and hungry at once.
While they went down the stairs slowly in a huge crowd to the Great Hall, they talked about the holidays and Oliver got talking about how he wants to start the Quidditch season. He was a shooter and he wasn't bad. Whereas Elizabeth talked about the choir and Hellen about Charms tutoring. Their friendship was awesome if only because they supported each other.
Suddenly, Oliver and Hellen disappeared out of Elizabeth's eyes. It did not mind her, because she knew, that she will see them at breakfast. When she walked towards the Great Hall, someone gave her a shove and she fell down on the cold stoned floor. Unfortunately, she swept someone along. Elizabeth looked ahead. "Oh no! Not in the first day!" sweared Elizabeth to herself. In fact, that person on the floor was Draco Malfoy.
