After dinner the prefects called all the students to order and motioned the first years to follow their respective gender towards their common rooms and dormitories.

To Harry it seemed like forever before they had arrived in front of a portrait of Rowena Ravenclaw just past the entrance of the library.

Harry knew that she should worry about not remembering all the twists and turns that brought her to this point, however at this moment she just felt drained.

"Knowledge is the light." one of the prefects whispered to the portrait and then turned towards the first years.

"In order to enter the commons area you must speak this password, as you can see, it grants you entrance to the room."

The prefect pointed to the door that had now materialized in place of the portrait.

The other prefect opened the door and motioned for the young ones to enter.

Despite feeling tired Harry could not help put stare in amazement of the room she was now in.

It was huge and the wall on the far side was covered in floor to ceiling windows.

Another one of the walls was covered by bookshelves filled with books and the other had a beautiful grand fireplace with seats all around it.

The whole room was shrouded in a deep blue and the ceiling seemed to pay homage to the Great Hall copying it's enchantments of viewing the sky above.

On either side of the fireplace were openings into two hallways which lead to the dormitories.

Harry followed the girl prefect as she made her way towards the girl's dormitory.

Once in the hall, there were several little rooms leading off of it.

The prefect explained that these were study areas for the students if they needed a quite place to learn.

The prefect led them through one of these rooms and at the other end was the door to their sleeping quarters and bathrooms.

Once in it, all Harry did was locate her trunk, which was at the far end of the room next to the window.

And pull out some night clothes before she got ready for bed and lay down.

It only took a few minutes for Harry to fall asleep.
