"It's not too bad, things will begin settling down once classes start. You'll get used to it pretty quick, and after your first year you'll be fine. A word of advice, try to establish some sort of routine, at least that way you wont get too stressed out about all the homework".
Emily twirled a strand of hair around her finger.
"You excited for classes?" she asked. This was usually a silly question, having classes was one of the best things at Hogwarts, the lessons were so exciting that you couldn't not look forward to them.
"I can't wait for the lessons to start!" Dahlia responded excitedly. "I've got all my books and parchment and I brought a study planner. Never too early to start planning for OWLs is it?"
It was so wierd to think that one day she'd no longer be a first year and that she'd be an old hat at this. "What are you going to do once you graduate?"
