Eliza had always loved books. Stories were the one place where anything could happen, anything at all – except well, maybe they could at Hogwarts too…

She followed the line of first years up the stairs and into the Ravenclaw tower, where the common room must surely be. Upon entering the room she gasped at its beauty. “Oh yes, I am definitely glad to be a Ravenclaw!” she thought excitedly. “The midnight blue is so beautiful and oh! The night sky! There are stars on the ceiling!” This was almost too much to take in. She was about to burst with happiness. She knew right away that she was going to love it here. She willed herself to move her eyes from the ceiling and search the room for faces she might know.

There were lots of students bustling around. Most knew right where to go. Some were plopped into chairs, others already making a bee-line to the dormitories. “I hope I get a good place to sleep. Though I suppose they’re all roughly the same.” She pictured herself cozied up with a nice thick blanket and a book. “I hope I get to bunk next to someone I like…but I’m sure I’ll get to know everyone eventually.”

As she was taking it all in she spotted the blushing girl from the train. “Cora!” she called out with a quick wave. “I hope she remembers me…” she thought nervously.

Cora was still wondering how Presley was when, out of nowhere, the girl Cora met on the train called her name. She jumped slightly (easily startled like always) and turned around with a smile.

"Eliza!" Cora exclaimed. Was it? Cora didn't have too many new people to know, so that must be her name. Cora was surprised that the girl remembered her, and smiled brightly.

"How are your classes going?" Cora was having a good day, and was so excited to actually KNOW people.
