Before I start I have to clarify that English is not my first language so, sorry for any errors or inconsistencies.

-Yes! We'll be roommates!- Poppy walked in, followed by Leonora and a blonde girl she didn't know.-
-Hi, I'm Adelaide Oakes. Poppy and Leonora told me about you.- Adelaide approached YN to say hello-
They all began to store their things in their respective beds and closets. And Leonora took out a scroll.
-Tomorrow we have defence against the dark arts, sorcery and transmutation.- Leonora sighed. -We will have to see another demonstration of Sebastian Sallow's ego.-YN tilted her head curiously-
-Watch out YN, Sebastian will surely try to target you, like he does everyone else- Leonora turned to YN
-Well, being the son of two Hogwarts professors, Sallow has always been very spoilt. Plus, his sister, who is just as brilliant as he is, is also playing along. Not to mention Ominis. - Poppy spoke while arranging her clothes
-He simply has too big an ego and tries to feed it by making every girl he meets fall at his feet - Leonora laughed-
-Has he tried it on you?- YN asked her amusedly and the three nodded-
-Although, he doesn't try much with the Hufflepuffs, really. I heard him talking to Ominis once. "Hufflepuffs are too easy and don't stand out at all"- Leonora made inverted commas with her fingers
-Now, it is true that in Hufflepuff, unlike the other houses, we have all sorts of people. So our house is not just about one thing. Helga Hufflepuff took in everyone who could not get into the other houses….- Adelaide began-
-So there's a greater diversity of people. - YN ended
-Exactly, and that's why a lot of people think we do not matter. The Slytherins in particular strive for wealth and power, they are ambitious. So to meet with people from a house that is not characterised at all…- Adelaide shrugged her shoulders-
-And do you really think he will try something like that with me?- TN laughed-
-Sure. So be careful. -Leonora crossed her arms.
Leonora, Poppy and Adelaide talked to YN about school and their past years. They talked about Peeves, Headmaster Black, Garreth Weasley's potions and tricks to keep from falling asleep in History of Magic class until it was time to go to sleep.
The next day, they waited for Arthur Plummly to arrive before going to the great dining hall for breakfast, and then left. Arthur sat down in the large dining room and looked at the timetable.
-What electives have you chosen, girls?- asked Arthur- Me, Care of magical creatures and Arithmetic
-Arithmetic? How boring. I have had enough of History of Magic. - Leonora spokeup - I chose Divination and Ancient Runes.
-What is wrong with Arithmacy? I also chose Arithmacy and also Ancient Runes. - Adelaide stood next to Arthur to show her support for Arithmacy - You, Poppy, must have chosen Care of magical creatures.
-Sure! And the other is divination. And you, YN?
-Care of Magical Creatures and Divination - Poppy did a little leap of joy -
-Are not you interested in ancient runes?- Asked Adelaide.
-'I have literally been surrounded by antiquities all my life. Too much is that I am forced to visit History of Magic.
-And how is that?- asked Arthur-
-My parents are archaeologists. My brothers and I've spent our whole lives travelling from one place to another, accompanying them on their excavations and investigations.
-Wait, your last name is Bennett, right?- Adelaide asked and YN nodded- Your parents aren't James and Rosa Bennett, right?- YN nodded- I've read your study on magic in ancient Egypt about 100 times! And the book about how the Chinese emperors negotiated with the sorcerers and witches of the time.
-Don't remind me how often I heard my father say. "Maybe those people were very cruel, but at least they didn't separate the Muggles from the wizards" and then hear my mother say: "There is evidence that it was nothing friendly, they enslaved them or blackmailed them"
-YN i'm sorry to interrupt, but I think your brothers are looking at me.-Arthur touched the shoulder of YN and nodded to the other tables
YN looked around and sure enough, Jennan and Mark were looking at Arthur from time to time.
-Don't worry, they always do. They're a bit protective of me. You're lucky my other brother and sister have already graduated. - YN continued to eat breakfast as if nothing had happened, but she didn't calm down Arthur.
After a while, she had to go to the first class. Defence Against the Dark Arts. When she arrived, Sebastian was fighting with Leander. Anne and Ominis didn't even pay attention to how commonplace these situations were. In the middle of the hectic duel, one of Sebastian's spells hit the dragon skull hanging from the ceiling. Fortunately, Professor Hecat managed to stop it before it fell on Leander.
-You are still good enough to tear each other to pieces in your spare time - Professor Hecat put the skull back in place properly - I get new students every year, but I only have one skull of a black hybrid. It was a reminder of the great clandestine raid of 1878, which rings a bell. Now, you may wonder how an old lady like me was able to single-handedly take down the largest ring in East Gales and live to tell about it. Wisdom. - YN she smiled, for her family knew better than anyone that knowledge is power - wisdom knows no age. Today we will discuss a spell that has saved my life from dark wizards more times than I can count. Levioso.
-Levioso? A levitation spell?- Leander asked sceptically, but in the twinkling of an eye Professor Hecat lifted him up with levioso, leaving Leander helpless-
-The effect of surprise weakens any enemy. Can you defend yourself, Mr Prewett? No?- Professor Hecat left him on the floor again. - 'Let us practise the spell. -Professor Hecat cleared the classroom and each student stood in front of a mannequin to practise the spell
Sebastian, Anne and Ominis did it the first time, while the rest needed more than one try. YN also needed a few tries, but he got it right.
-If you need help to catch up with the grief, you can ask me for help - Sebastian turned to YN -
-No, thanks.- YN looked at him for a moment and then turned back to the mannequin-
-Sure? I'm the best duelist. And you've just arrived at Hogwarts. We could go to Hogsmade and I could catch up with you. - YN looked at Sebastian and then eyed him up and down with a raised eyebrow
-Oh, really? That's what you do? That's it? Do girls fall for that?- Anne and Ominis began to pay attention to the conversation of YN and Sebastian when they heard this
-If you come to Hogsmade with me, I'll show you what girls like about me.- Sebastian laughed nervously.
-It was nice to meet you. Goodbye. - YN returned with Poppy and the others -
-Has the new one rejected you?-They heard Omini's laugh and Anne's laugh.
-Wait. - Sebastian followed YN -
