"Margaret, wake up. I was nice, I was kind, I let you sleep in, I even got your testing times table for you. You need to get your lazy arse up so you can get to breakfast and then over to the library," Katie said, throwing a pillow at me before she walked out of the dorm. 

"Screw you!" I yelled sarcastically as I jumped out of bed, walked over to my trunk, which Katie had left my times table for testing, and pick out a fitted long-sleeve Puddlemere United jumper, some skinny jeans, and a pair of navy blue Tom's (which are an American shoe brand). I quickly slipped into my outfit, pulled out my black backpack, piling it full with all my books, extra parchment, quills, my course overviews, my Quidditch team offers, all my homework, and throwing in some chocolate frogs from some of my gift baskets. I then walked over to my bathroom, quickly brushing my already straightened hair, which was still straight from yesterday when I straightened it, brushed my teeth, and putting on a bit of makeup before heading back to the dorm, sliding my backpack on my shoulders, and walking down the stairs to the common room. 

"Hey, Maggie," Hermione chirped when she saw me walk into the common room. I smiled.

"Hey, Hermione. What's up?" I asked her as we crossed the common room and exited it. 

"Right now, I'm going to grab a bite to eat and then I have classes for the rest of the day. What about you? No classes, I assume, since you don't have your uniform on," She said as we walked down the stairs to the ground floor. 

"No, no classes today. But I plan to spend the whole day in the library, studying and reviewing course overviews and all my Quidditch offers," I said as we stepped off the stairs and started walking down the hallway to the Great Hall. 

"Okay, well have a great day then!" Hermione chirped as she practically skipped towards the part of the table where Harry and Ron were sitting. I walked over to where the twins and Oliver were sitting, immediately placing a couple biscuits onto my plate before sitting down. 

"Morning Georgie, Fred," I mumbled through a mouthful of biscuit. They chuckled. 

"Maggie is such a lady, what wonderful manner, eh Fred?" George joked, causing me to punch him in the arm playfully. 

"Oh, knock it. You two are late for Charms, by the way. I know your class starts at 8:30, it's almost 8:40," I said, a smirk on my face as they both scrambled to get out of the Great Hall. 

"Are you ready to head over to the library? No rush, of course," I asked as Oliver shoved in another mouthful of eggs. "What's today's date?" I asked.

"Monday, February 1st. And yeah, let's go. I'm ready," he said as we both stood up and started walking to the library, which was right above the Great Hall on the second floor. 

"Are you prepared to spend the whole day in there? Because with everything I need to get done, it might well be," I joked as we started walking up the stairs. He chuckled, that sweet-sounding, deep chuckle that just about made me melt. Ugh, Maggie, stop thinking like that. The guy cheated on you for goodness' sake. 

"Don't worry, I have a ton to do as well. We need to discuss tryout dates, whether we should cut anyoe from the team, things like that," he said as we entered the library, walking all the way to the far right side of it and settling down at the table in front of a large window overlooking the courtyard. 

"Okay, let's discuss, let me get out a quill and parchment," I replied, taking out a fresh piece of parchment and a quill. 

"No one's graduating, so tryouts would be unnecessary. We could tryout to form a sort of reserve team, as a back up. I know everyone on our team is quite solid," he said as he sat down in the chair across from me.
