'Good morning, Hogwarts.' Zara thought to herself. She couldn't believe it, she really was at Hogwarts. It wasn't all a dream!
She looked at her left and saw that Eirwen was having a pleasant morning too. "Good morning, Eirwen. Want breakfast?" Zara said softly, careful not to wake anyone else, and smiled. She rubbed her eyes to be fully awake. She was still wearing the clothes from yesterday. 'Ugh, I forgot to change. Oh well.' Zara thought as she went to grab her school uniform from her trunk. Might as well change now. After changing, she grabbed the pack of owl pellets from her trunk, too, and placed it on Eirwen's food bowl. "Eat up."
Now, after Zara finished changing into her uniform, she looked at Tayla, who was still sleeping. So Zara decided to look out the window while waiting for Tayla to wake up. The sun was getting ready to rise from behind the clouds while there were birds chirping outside and the lake was peaceful as ever.
'Gryffindor in possession...chaser Tayla Barnhill of Gryffindor heading for the goal...nice move as she dodges a bludger...and Tayla Barnhill scores! 10 points for Gryffindor!'
The crowd screamed in delight. Then Tayla saw it. The golden snitch!
'Gryffindor seeker Tayla Barnhill makes a dive...followed closely by Slytherin...looks like a close game...there they - TAYLA BARNHILL CATCHES THE SNITCH. GRYFFINDOR WIN!'
'Kew-weik! Kew-weik!'
'That's odd...' Tayla thought wearily. 'That doesn't sound like a whistle at all...' "Ouch!" Tayla woke up suddenly, to find her tawny owl nipping at her arm.
Kew-weik! Marigold made the sound again.
"Marigold!" Tayla smiled and straightened up in her bed.
"You didn't have to bite me. Good morning to you, too." She took a small paper bag from inside her trunk and gave Marigold some owl pellets from her hand.
At that moment, she noticed Zara, already in her Hogwarts robes, looking out the window.
"Oh you're up already," Tayla said cheerfully.
"Good morning! Let me just get ready and I'll meet you in the common room." Remembering her dream, she added brightly,
"And I'll tell you about my dream. It was a little odd, but good nonetheless."
