Janelle made it to the Great Hall, at last. "Fourth year here I come", she thought. She was sorry that summer was over, but excited for the new term. Hopefully, it would be as uneventful as the previous one.

As she neared the Ravenclaw table, Janelle scanned it briefly. She saw some familiar faces and a new one or two. It would be strange to have a feast without Sophie Brown. Janelle wondered who the new prefects would be. She had a guess, but she would have to wait and see.

Reaching the table, Janelle found a good spot and sat down. She would take a few minutes to gather herself and then talk to some of her housemates. Fortunately she had learned from her previous mistakes and brought snacks for the train. She should be able to make it make it until the food was served without passing out.
