I sat near Harry and Ron after finishing the Sorting. Dumbledore gave an entrance speech, "Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am Albus Dumbledore, your Headmaster, and I am delighted to welcome you all here today. Hogwarts is a very special place where you will not only learn the art of magic but also make lifelong friends and create memories that will last a lifetime.

I must also issue a warning. It is forbidden to enter the Forbidden Forest. This is not a request; it is a command. The forest is home to many creatures, some of which are extremely dangerous. Do not go into the forest for your own safety." Dumbledore looked around the room, his eyes sweeping over every student. When he looked at me, he smiled.

"Before we begin the feast, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!" Dumbledore lifted his wand suddenly, and all four tables were filled with food. The feast began, and I started to eat roasted chicken and mashed potatoes. "Stifen, can you pass the roasted beef on your side?" Ron asked me, spraying the chicken he was eating all over the table.

The twins moved beside Ron and introduced themselves, "Hi, I'm Fred Weasley, and this is my brother, George. We're in the year above you guys." While the feast was going on, they told us about how they liked playing pranks. After the feast was over, Dumbledore stood up and sang the Hogwarts song along with the students.

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,

Teach us something please,

Whether we be old and bald,

Or young with scabby knees,

Our heads could do with filling With some interesting stuff,

For now they're bare and full of air,

Dead flies and bits of fluff,

So teach us things worth knowing,

Bring back what we've forgot,

Just do your best, we'll do the rest,

And learn until our brains all rot."

After following the prefect through the winding spiral staircase, Harry and Ron, who walked beside me, were very excited. The prefect stood beside the portrait of a fat lady in a pink dress. When she saw us, she asked the prefect for the password. "Caput Draconis," the prefect replied. The portrait started to open and showed the passage to the common room and the dormitory.

The common room was a cozy room with a roaring fireplace at one end. The walls were lined with tapestries in Gryffindor's signature scarlet and gold, depicting famous wizards and witches throughout history. In the center of the room was a group of squashy armchairs and a large wooden table covered in books, parchment, and quills. There was a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere in the room as the Gryffindors settled in and chatted excitedly about the coming year.

After arriving at the common room, the prefects showed the way to our dormitory. "Stefan, look, you, me, and Ron are in the same room," Harry said. We went inside the room and took our things, changing into our night clothes. We noticed a boy who was shyly sitting on one of the beds and looking at us. "Hi, Neville. So, from today onwards, we are roommates," I broke the silence. We chatted about how the first day would be. Ron and Harry were very excited, and Neville was very nervous.

The next day, I got up and looked at my pocket watch. The time was 6:13. I freshened up and went near the lake to do my morning exercises. I sat near a tree and meditated after finishing the early morning exercise. I looked at the time; it was 7:30. I went to my dormitory to freshen up and change into my robes. I saw that Harry and Ron were still asleep, and Neville was packing his things for his first class. I opened the cage and let Raza out of it. I had forgotten about him yesterday.

I woke up Harry and Ron and asked them to get ready for the first day of classes. They both lazily stood up and went along with me to freshen up and change into their robes. We went to the Great Hall for breakfast. When we sat at the Gryffindor table, the food appeared. While eating, Neville checked the class schedule and told us that today's classes were Transfiguration, Potions, and Herbology.

After finishing breakfast, Ron asked Neville, "Hey, Neville, do you know where the Transfiguration class is?" "Don't worry, I know where the classroom is. It's on the first floor. Let's go," I answered Ron. All four of us went to the first floor and entered the classroom for Transfiguration. The classroom also contained shelves and cabinets filled with books and other materials.

When we arrived at the class, we saw a few students already there. Hermione was sitting in the first row. On the desk, we saw a black cat sitting and looking at us. "Good morning, Grann--Professor McGonagall," I greeted the black cat at the desk. When I greeted the cat, its eyes widened because she had never used her Animagus form before me.

Everyone in the class was shocked and looked at me strangely. I sat in the middle row, and Harry sat beside me, while Ron and Neville sat behind me. After some time, the cat jumped from the table and transformed into Professor McGonagall. She came near me and asked, "Mr. Grindelwald, how did you know the cat was me?"

"When I noticed the black cat at the table, it looked at every student present and didn't mew even once. I guessed it was you, Professor, because Transfiguration is the subject based on changing an object to another one through magic. So, I thought you might have transfigured yourself as the cat to show us how Transfiguration works," I answered her.

Upon hearing my answer, the students present in the classroom were dumbfounded. Hermione was irritated that she didn't find out about Professor McGonagall first. Professor McGonagall was pleased with my answer and awarded 10 points to Gryffindor.
