Nina walked into the Great Hall early Tuesday morning. She'd already decided it was going to be a good day today for two reasons. 1- Lessons would start today and 2- She hadn't got lost on the way to breakfast. The Great Hall was practically empty. The only tables having more than ten people were the Slytherin and Teachers tables.
Nina sat down at the nearly deserted Gryffindor table and tucked into some pancakes.
She looked absent mindedly around the room, searching for people who she reckoned were in her year.
As the tables filled up, Kyli walked into the Hall with two boys, who Nina now knew as Cenizo and Tobi. They headed towards her. "Morning" she said smiling. The other three Gryffindors replied with a cheery, if not tired, morning.
As the three new comers started to eat their breakfast, a woman appeared at the head of their table and started to make her way down it, issuing timetables to the students.
"Who's that?" Nina asked, while finishing her second pancake.
"Professor Pinch. Head of Gryffindor House." Cenizo told her.
Nina frowned. "You have heads of houses?" she asked.
"And heads of years." Tobi added.
Nina nodded and shrugged, accepted this strange fact and got back to eating more breakfast while waiting for her timetable.

The four walked out of the Hall comparing their timetables.
"Double Muggle Studies ans double flying, follwed by Care of Magical Creatures and double Transfiguration." Kyli said sighing, not the best day she'd seen, but then again, it wasn't the worst either. At least she wouldn't have to deal with Potions until... Thursday.
"Muggles Studies, History, then... a free and transfiguration." Cenizo said, refering to his timetable halfway through.
"No way!" Tobi said. "Same as me!"
Cenizo shuffled over to Tobi and looked at his timetable, while glancing back at his every so often.
"Ohmygod. We have the same timetable!!! Exactly the same!!"
Nina snorted slightly, then covered her smiling mouth with her hand. She glanced at hers. "I've got a free, then flying, with Kyli I suppose, then another free, and transfiguration with you guys."

Tobi couldn't belive the amazing serendipity of their matching timetables. And the torture it would be too. The great thing was that he would spend every lesson in the next few years with his best friend, something that couldn't have turned out better if he'd asked for it. But he would also be spending every lesson for the next few years with the very person who made his heart feel pangs of that twisty achey feeling he could only cope with by spending time with his other friends in Hufflepuff.
Come on Tobi, pull yourself together man. He doesn't like you, he's not into you, he's going out with that Rosa girl. And you're going out with Joshua! who is lovely in case you hadn't noticed dummy! just forget about it and we'll be able to get through this. deep breaths now darling.
He grinned and giggled along with Cenizo at their timetables, hoping he wasn't being too eager at the prospect at spending all that time with him, or not seeming happy enough about it.

[ lol! bless his little mind ]
Cenizo stopped giggling with Tobi and frowned at Nina. "You have two frees in a day?" he asked.
Nina looked back at her schedule and nodded.
"How many subjects are you taking??"
"Well i'm doing Astronomy, Charms, Defence, Transfiguration and Potions because we have to, and then i'm doing... "
"The options you chose are the coloured ones." Cenizo added, helpfully.
"Ahhh. Right. Divination and Flying."
They waited for her to continue with her other lessons, but she just blunk stupidly at them and gave a shrug that said 'that's it...'

Tobi looked puzzled.
"How come you're not doing four chosen options?"

Nina shrugged. "Dunno. I guess they chose the only subjects that I could do. Because, like, most of the subjects I did, Hogwarts doesn't offer them. Do you not have Magical Creatures and Herbology here??"

"Yeah, we do. Well I guess that makes sense. No point in doing something you can't do lol."
He smiled and helped himself to a cranberry muffin.
"So which school have you come from? Somewhere in America I'm guessing?"

"Canada actually. It's Carporthia and... oh my god i've only just realised." she said glancing back down at the timetable. "You have the whole of Saturday off!"

Tobi blinked dumbly.
"Don't you?!"

"No. Some people have four lessons on Saturday. I only have two though. But Markus, one of my friends only has flying." Nina said smiling at Tobi. "But you hardly have any flying lessons. We have it five times a week."
