"Good Morning!" I told the two happily as they arrived in the common room.
"Good morning, Ethan" Terry replied with a smile.
"Yawn! Good morning..." Anthony said still half sleepy. Until he was awakened by a slap to the back of the head, a gift from Terry.
"Ow! What was that for!?" Anthony asked looking fiercely at Terry as he rubbed the back of his aching neck with his hand.
"That was to wake you up" Terry said to Anthony, "You should start sleeping earlier, otherwise you'll end up sleeping in class" he continued as he looked at Anthony critically.
"And you should take your hand and shove—"
"Hey, calm down guys…it's not even eight o'clock and you guys are like this already," I said, interrupting Anthony and what would be an inappropriate insult.
""He started it!"" they said in sync, then blinked and looked at each other in surprise.
"Kids…" I said rolling my eyes, "If you're done… We can go get our breakfast, I'm starving" I told them.
"Okay, we've already stopped" Terry said with his hands raised in surrender.
"Umm, I'm hungry too" Anthony said.
"Okay!" I said as I clapped my hands, "So shall we?" I questioned, already walking towards the exit of the common room.
""Yes!"" Terry and Anthony said. And then they started following me, and together we went to the Great Hall.

As we ate breakfast, letters started to arrive, and I could see my family's owl, Hermes, among the hundreds of owls carrying a letter from home for me. And as soon as Hermes landed in front of me, I took the letter from his claws and handed him a piece of bacon as a reward.
"Thanks, Hermes" I told him, putting the letter in my pocket to read it another time, "You can go to the Owlery, and then I'll give you a letter to give to my parents" I told Hermes as I scratched his back gently, much to his satisfaction.
"Hoot!" chirped Hermes in agreement, before taking off and leaving.
"Letter from your parents?" Terry asked me curious.
"Uhum" I agreed, "What about yours?" I asked him, who had also received a letter.
"From my mother," he replied, showing the letter to me.
"And you Anthony?" I asked our lazy friend.
"I got two letter, one from my brother and one of my parents," he replied.
"You have a brother?" Terry asked a little surprised.
"Yes. He already graduated from Hogwarts and now works at the Ministry of Magic" Anthony replied, "What about you? Do you have any brothers or sisters?" he asked us.
"No" Terry replied, "I don't think my parents ever wanted another child" he said with a shrug.
"I have a little sister" I told them.
"So I'm the only one who's an only child?" Terry said, "At least that means I don't need to share my stuff with anyone! Hah!" he finished saying happily. And Anthony and I just rolled our eyes at his antics.
After that we continued to have our breakfast quietly. And when the bell rang, signaling the start of classes, we got up to start the second day of school.
____________________________________________________________________
Our second day of class was nothing very special or different. We had the same classes as yesterday, with the only differences being the periods and that instead of Potions we had Astronomy that would take place at midnight.
In Charms class, Professor Flitwick reviewed the spell {Lumos} and the counter-spell {Nox} with the students who still couldn't cast the spell, and for those who did, he had them train power and speed. of casting the spell. But for me who could already do the spell easily, he passed on one of the variations of the {Lumos} spell, the {Lumos Duo} spell, which basically created a beam of light from the tip of the wand, and could be used for both lighting and defensive measure to fend off Ghouls and solidify the Hinkypunks.
And even though it was my first time using the spell, I was able to do it the first time, earning another 5 points for Ravenclaw, much to the jealousy and admiration of the other students, and a proud and satisfied nod from Professor Flitwick.
The Transfiguration class was basically the same thing, with Professor McGonagall reviewing the match transfiguration and helping those who hadn't yet made it.
For me Professor McGonagall made me practice the spell, transfiguring more than one match at a time. And when I managed to transfigure six matches into needles smoothly and all at once, with four of them having four house details, one with Hogwarts details, and the last one with black, blue and silver accents, to symbolize my family, Professor McGonagall was so shocked and surprised that she even forgot to keep her serious appearance.
She then congratulated me and started praising my job well done, before giving me 10 points for a great transfiguration job with a happy and awed look on her face. And I could feel the feelings of admiration and jealousy coming from Granger, and if I didn't know about her competitiveness and addiction to learning, I would swear she was trying to kill me with just the looks she was giving me.
And after my transfiguration feat, Granger started trying to transfigure the match more intently, and by the end of class, her needle looked as perfect as my first.
After the lunch break, we had Defense Against the Dark Arts, and it was just like the boring and boring class we had yesterday, with Professor Quirrell talking about vampires and zombies, and his encounters with these creatures, which many not believed to be true.
And I, determined not to waste my study and training time because of this useless class, took a third-year DADA book from my scholarship and started reading, totally ignoring Professor Quirrell's stuttering lecture. And that was the last class we had this afternoon.
__________________________________________________________________
I spent the rest of the afternoon with the boys in the library, at Black Lake, or in the common room playing wizard games like Exploding Snap, until dinnertime.
But it's worth mentioning that whoever lost in the exploding snap had to eat one Every Flavor Beans, and unfortunately I couldn't be good at everything, especially in the exploding snap, which was more about luck.
And I found out in the most unfortunate way possible what spoiled milk, earwax and earth tasted like.
After dinner, I read and studied in the Ravenclaw common room until it was time for Astronomy class.
_____________________________________________________________
Astronomy classes took place on the highest level of the Astronomy Tower, which was the highest tower in the castle. The class was taught by Professor Aurora Sinistra, a woman with dark skin and a slender body, with a professional and serious personality. In this class we had to use the telescopes we bought in Diagon Alley to observe the night sky, and with that we started to learn the different names of the stars and the movements of the planets.
The class went off without a hitch, and I actually enjoyed watching the stars and planets, finding it a little relaxing. The only thing that bothered me was cold air, even though it didn't cause as much discomfort for me as it did for others, but a simple warming spell solved that little problem.
At the end of that class, we all went back to our dorms for a good night's sleep, and the only thing I could think about before bed was whether I would ever have that dream again. But putting that thought aside, I lay down on my bed, with Nyx at my feet, and gently closed my eyes to sleep.
End.

(End AN: This month it's been difficult to post the chapters on the right days, hehe. But don't worry, I'm not dropping this story, I just have a messy schedule.
I had a family lunch on Sunday, and planned to post the Sunday chapter on Saturday, but my incredible lack of memory and stupidity attacked, causing me to delete the Saturday chapter, so I can't post. But I managed to retrieve them today, and after a review, I'm posting them for you.
Hope you like it!)
