Today was the day I finally get to go Hogwarts. My first day at a completely new school where I hadn't known anyone.

I was wondering what house I'd be in, the kind of friends I was going to make, the kind of people I was going to meet. I lost so much sleep thinking about it all, creating scenarios in my head. I eventually got some sleep though.

The brightness of the sun woke me up, and everyone else in the attic as well.

Once I was fully awake I realized how stupid I was. I never told Margaret or August anything about a new school. I couldn't tell Margaret I was going to a wizardry school, but I could have at the least tell her I was going to a sleepaway school.

I was too tired to do so at the moment. I wasn't a morning person. "Morning Aly." but Margaret was. Her bed was the one across from mine, she liked being near the window just as much as I did.

"Morning." I mumbled back, hanging my legs off the edge of my bed.

"School starts in two days, you ready?" she asked, but her words came out blurry to me.

"Talk to me later when I'm awake." I whined.

"Okay." She laughed.

Margaret looked at her nightstand to her left and grabbed a glass of water then walked back over to my bed. She splashed me with the water then smiled in sarcasm.

"What the fu-" I yelled before she cut me off.

"Well, are you awake now?"

"More so." I rolled my eyes. "Also that smiling in sarcasm thing, is mine."

"Where do you think I got it from?" She chuckled.

"Whatever, now my sheets are wet."

"We have extras. Anyways school is in two days, are you ready?" She placed her empty glass on my nightstand and sat down on the dry spot of my bed.

"Actually...I'm going to school today." I started awkwardly.

"What?"

"I'm going to a new school, a sleep-away one." I lied.

"What school?"

"Haslemere." I knew that was a sleep away school nearby and it was the first school at the top of my head.

"Oh, Okay then I hope you have fun." She put on a fake smile, which made me not wanna leave, but I knew I'd be back for the summer either way.

"I'm going to go see if Miss Willis is awake." I stood up from my bed and started to go downstairs to check if she was in the living room.

"Morning Miss Willis." I smiled as I came out from the corner of the staircase's wall.

"Good morning, you're up early." She replied as she took a sip out of her plain white tea cup.

"How do I um, go to Hogwarts?" I said quietly walking closer to the black leather couch she was sitting on.

"King's Cross Train Station, Platform 9 3/4."

"They have a platform of 9 3/4?" I asked.

"Yes, I'll show you. Are the girls awake right now?"

"Yes, actually."

"Great. Try to sneak your stuff out to the car as quickly and swiftly as possible. I'll drive you to the train station." She said placing her tea cup on the coffee table.

"What are you doing up so early?" I heard someone's voice say from behind me.

I turned around and saw August, "I could ask you the same thing, but I'm going to a sleep-away school so, I've got to get there sooner or later."
