The next morning, Celeste woke up naturally as the sun slowly rose outside. She stretched in her bed before pushing the curtains aside gently. Stepping off the bed, she grabbed her uniform from where it was laid on her chair and made her way into the bathroom.

After brushing her teeth and taking a quick shower, she got dressed in her white button down shirt, her black pleated skirt and some white socks. She pulled her robes on over that and smiled as she ran a finger over the scarlet and gold Gryffindor crest. Then, she tied her matching tie around her neck and left the bathroom.

She headed to her vanity and sat down, careful not to make any noise as Marlene and Dorcas were still asleep. Celeste combed through her platinum hair and thought that she should honour being a Gryffindor with some red streaks in her hair. Once she was done with that, she stuffed her lip balm into her satchel along with her books, parchment, quills and ink. Her bag had an Undetectable Extension Charm on it, courtesy of her older brother, and her father had also placed a Lightness Charm on it.

Then, she slipped on her black Brogues and walked out of the dorm, closing the door behind her gently. She was startled to see Lily Evans walking out of her own dorm at the same time. They both smiled when they saw the other. "Early riser?"

"Yeah." Lily grinned. "Happy to see someone else is though."

"Shall we head down to breakfast? I want to say hello to a few people and go gloat to my brother." Celeste began walking down the stairs with the red head following her.

"Why would you gloat?" Lily asked as they arrived in the common room, which was empty except for some older students sat at the desks, chatting.

"Because he wanted me to be a Ravenclaw, and I'm in Gryffindor. My whole family is in different houses. Killian's the Ravenclaw, he's a third year. Thomas is a Slytherin, but he graduated. Mama was Hufflepuff, and Papa was Gryffindor."

"So you've grown up with magic?" They walked out of the portrait hole and began making their way down to the Great Hall. "Do a lot of people? Will I be behind because I'm muggleborn?"

"Oh, no, don't worry. We don't use magic outside school. Only those 17 and older can. So, we grow up around magic, but we all get wands after we get our letters, and the only magic we do is the stuff we can't control, which I'm sure you do." Celeste smiled, and her eyes glimmered yellow slightly in happiness.

"Your eyes!" The red head gasped.

"Oh! Yes, I need to get it under control. Believe it or not, but most wizards don't know what I am. I'm a metamorphmagus, very rare. But we can change our appearance. It takes some time to control it though and I'm getting better."

"That's so cool!"

"Why, thank you." The platinum haired girl smiled. "Oh, look! We're here!"

They had arrived at the Great Hall, who's doors were wide open. When they walked in, they could see several students on each table, but it was not full, considering it was very early. Celeste turned to look at the Slytherin table and smiled when she saw Narcissa and Andromeda sat there.

"Lily, do you mind if I got to the Slytherin table? I want to say hello to some people."

"Sure. I'll come with you." So they made their way over there and Andromeda stood when she saw the youngest Fawley. The older girl brushed her dark hair from her eyes and smiled.

"Cel."

Narcissa looked up. "Hi, Cel."

"Morning." Celeste smiled as she hugged Andromeda and then air kissed Narcissa's cheeks. "This is my friend Lily." Celeste pointed at the redhead behind her who waved, and the two Slytherins waved back. "Congratulations on Slytherin, Cissa."
