I woke up early like usual, I got up from the bed and stretched. I looked at cotton, and she was still lying down. Walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth. After the little spat between Harry and Victoria, she was a little down, I tried my best to comfort her but only food worked. After having dinner, she was in a better mood.

We both spend sometime in the common room reading books. We took the sofas at the corner of the room. There was a giant window next to where we were sitting. It was quite a corner of the room. We stayed out for some time, reading books.

When I got to my room, I was expecting that I would find it thrashed or something, but I found that the room was untouched. No one entered the room. Looks like the spell worked. Although I did see some damage done where the lock was placed.

After done brushing my teeth, I put on shorts, t-shirt and my running shoes and went on my morning run. I was slowly trying to push myself, I still did 2 km run but increased my push-ups to 50 and my sit-ups to 50 as well. As usual, I could only see a few people, but the numbers increased a bit. 

I saw many older students they were out doing runs as well, I think they were the quidditch players. After the morning routine was done, I took a long bath and relaxed. After the bath, I put on my uniform and took my books out of my trunk and locked it. I locked my door and went to the Common room.

I sat down at the sofa and waited for Victoria to come. Slowly, the other student woke up and made their way to the great hall for breakfast. I got many scornful looks from them, but I tried to ignore them. I was getting a little bored, so I opened up the book and started reading it.

"Good morning." I looked up to see, and it was Victoria along with Tracey and Daphne. 

I closed my book and got up and said, "Good morning." I looked at Victoria and said, "You took quite the time."

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Not everyone is  a morning person." 

I looked at Tracey and smiled, "Good morning." She bobbed her head and said, "Good morning." I looked at Daphne and said, "Morning." She hummed nodded, "Morning."

I sighed and said, "Breakfast?"

Tracey said, "Oh, I am starving."

We walked to the great hall and I got to know that Victoria was sharing the room with Daphne and Tracey.  We sat at the Slytherin table and were having a pleasant breakfast when an owl came flying and landed at the table. It had a letter.

Victoria recognized the owl and took the letter, but didn't open it. She put the letter away in her robes and the Owl went away. We finished our breakfast, we made our way to classes. 

We had joint lectures with Gryffindor, many were not all that excited for it. The first lecture was Transfiguration. We reached the classes and Victoria sat with Daphne, Tracey sat with another girl from Slytherin and I sat alone which was amazing I just had so much space I was spread on the table like butter on bread. But that happiness didn't last long.

"Can I sit here" I looked up, and I saw a guy, he was thin as a wire. He had pale skin, his eyes were brown, and he looked uninterested and asked, "Is someone coming or something?"

I shook my head and asked, "You sure you want to sit with me?"

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's one of the few good seats."

I slid over and he sat with me. He and I didn't talk much, he was busy reading. After a few minutes, the class started to get filled with students. I saw Hermione, and I did a little wave, but she gave me an awkward wave with an uncomfortable smile, which was pretty sad. Harry and Ron were late somehow, I don't know how, but they were. They still got an earful from McGonagall for being late.
