I hear the popping sounds of the trunks arriving in the dorm and take it as my cue to leave the dorm. The castle is still quite empty, but I decide to go to the Great Hall and sit down at the Gryffindor table. I do feel a bit nervous, but I hide it behind a smile. Soon the hall is filling with students and when I see Harry and Ron it feels natural to stand up and hug them.
