He lay for a moment watching dust swirl in the chink of sunlight falling through the gap in his four-poster’s hangings and savored the thought that it was Saturday. The first week of term seemed to have dragged on forever, like one gigantic History of Magic lesson. Judging by the sleepy silence and the freshly minted look of that beam of sunlight, it was just after daybreak. He pulled open the curtains around his bed, got up, and started to dress. The only sound apart from the distant twittering of birds was the slow, deep breathing of his fellow Gryffindors. He opened his schoolbag carefully, pulled out parchment and quill, and headed out of the dormitory for the common room. Making straight for his favorite squashy old armchair beside the now extinct fire, Harry settled himself down comfortably and unrolled his parchment while looking around the room. The detritus of crumpled-up bits of parchment, old Gobstones, empty ingredient jars, and candy wrappers that usually covered the common room at the end of each day was gone, as were all Hermione’s elf hats. Wondering vaguely how many elves had now been set free whether they wanted to be or not, Harry uncorked his ink bottle, dipped his quill into it,”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "J.K.

Hermione hitched it up out of sight. \"Viktor.\" \"Krum?\" \"How many other Viktors do we know?\" Ron said nothing, but looked disgruntled. They sat in silence for another twenty minutes, Ron finishing his Transfiguration essay with many snorts of impatience, rolling in up carefully and sealing it, and Harry staring into the fire, wishing more than anything that Sirius's head would appear there and give him some advice about girls. But the fire merely crackled lower and lower, until the red-hot embers crumbled into ash and, looking around, Harry saw that they were, yet again, the last in the common room. \"Well, 'night,\" said Hermione, yawning widely, and she set off up the girls' staircase. \"What does she see in Krum?\" Ron demanded as he and Harry climbed the boys' stairs. \"Well,\" said Harry, considering the matter, \"I s'pose he's older, isn't he...and he's an international Quidditch player…\" \"Yeah, but apart from that,\" said Ron, sounding aggravated. \"I mean he's a grouchy git, isn't he?”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "J.K.
