Sunlight streamed through the windows of the girl's dormitory, warming Willow's face as she dozed happily. She yawned, stretching her arms high above her and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. And in good timing too, cause she opened them she realized that the entire room was empty.
"Oh no..." Willow muttered in horror as she dashed out of bed, ripping off her pajamas and jumping into uniform. She quickly brushed her hair, putting an elastic onto her wrist. She'd have to fix it later... She ran out of the room, her tie coming out a bit and her shirt not tucked in properly. She prayed that she managed to put the right shoes on the right feet!
As she entered the Common Room, she was stopped by a demanding meow. Willow stopped in her tracks and faced her sleek black cat, Shadow, who had a small brown bag in her mouth. The girl smiled in relief as she took the bag, which contained her books and wand, "Thanks, Shadow. I owe you one!"
The cat simply gave her a look as if to say "You owe me so much, I've lost count.". Willow patted Shadow's head and stood up, turning to face the exit when something on the bulletin board caught her attention.

First session tonight at 6
"Tonight at 6, huh..." Willow whispered to herself. She shook her head, she didn't have time to think about this now! She was late for breakfast! She burst through the portrait, much to the Fat Lady's anger, and ran down the staircase before bursting into the Great Hall, out of breath, and plopping down next to some random people. She didn't even bother looking up at them, or at the people giggling behind hands at her appearance, because she was too hungry to care.
