It was 7:00 in the morning, and Hermione got dressed ready for the day ahead. The timetables were more than likely already available downstairs in the Gryffindor common room. Hermione rushed downstairs to see the common room filled with animated students gathering near the notice board. Hermione fought her way through the crowd and retrieved her timetable. She had Transfiguration first lesson at 9:00, and double Defence against the Dark Arts at 10:00, with the Slytherins. Hermione groaned. Then, at 12:00 was lunch, and at 13:00 was Charms and Ancient Runes. Then at 15:00, it was Arithmancy, which concluded her day. Hermione gazed at her jam-packed timetable, she had a few free periods at least, which took her back to her third year, where she had none at all. Hermione laughed at the memory. It was strange to be able to dismiss core subjects from before, and choose whatever she wished in her final two years at Hogwarts. Hermione had dropped a handful of subjects from the previous year including Muggle Studies and Herbology, but had decided Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts were required for her. Unfortunately, those significant subjects were almost always with the Slytherins, except Transfiguration (which Hermione also thought as a required subject) was with the Ravenclaws.
