The House Slytherin prefects tell you that first years must go to their dormitories by 9pm with lights out by 10, whereas older students may stay in the common room until 10, or 11pm for sixth and seventh years. No students are allowed outside of their House Common Room or Dormitories after 10pm.
You would rage at the indignity of being sent to bed, but you actually feel really tired after a long and eventful day. In any case, it will be nice to spend some more time talking with Lily and getting to know her better.
You change your clothes and put on a fine silk night dress, choosing a modest white silk rather than anything racier. Lily changes into some rather shabby flower print pyjamas, that look rather faded. You manage not to look at her while she changes but make sure that she gets to see you topless for a moment before you put on your nightie. You are proud of your body and want to show it off to her.
“I think I’ve got some more strawberry tarts if you want one before bed?” You ask Lily, “we can clean our teeth afterwards.”
You and Lily eat the last strawberry tarts between you, the go to clean your teeth. The small “bathroom” that you have to share with Pansy and Daphne is little more than a toilet, a sink and a heater for some towels, although there is a decent sized mirror and some shelves which Pansy and Daphne have already mostly filled with their things. You almost tell her that your Extendable Luggage Suite has its own bathroom with a large bathtub and shower, but you decide to keep that secret for now.
The water from the sink is surprisingly fresh and drinkable, so you get a glass each for you and Lily and head back into your bedroom. Lily gets into her bed, and you find that the top side of you bunk doesn’t extend out quite as far as the bottom side of hers, meaning you can lean over the edge a little and still see her.
You talk for a while about the others girls, Professor Snape, your cousins Blaise and Draco, and how Hermione and Lavender might be getting on in Gryffindor. At 10pm, the magical lights start to dim, and within ten minutes, it is almost pitch black. A small amount of light makes its way down through the gloom of the water at the windows, but you decide to draw the curtains to keep the room warm. The sound of the water against the windows is soothing and gentle.
“Lumos” you say, almost whispering, and the tip of your wand lights up with a gentle pale blue glow, illuminating your face and casting shadows from your arm across the room.
Below you Lily is smiling up at you, in awe of the most simple of magical charms.
“You are really good at magic Emily,” she says, “can you teach me to do that?”
“Sure,” you tell her, “it’s easy, you just take you wand, will it to light up, and incant: Lumos and it should work.”
You watch as Lily takes her simple Yew wand, point it out of her bed, and says, “Lumos!”
Her wand releases some small electric blue sparks, then starts to glow, but very faintly.
“Not bad for a beginner!” You say, praising her magic, “it worked. You just have to have more confidence and believe in yourself and it will be brighter next time. A lot of magical power is about enforcing your will on reality. Try it again.”
“Lumos!” Lily says, a little more forcefully and a lot more seriously. Again, there are more sparks, and it glows a little brighter.
“That’s better,” you say, “you’re getting the hang of it. Now, to make it stop, you can say, Finite Incantatem to finish the spell, any spell, or with Lumos you can simply say Nox.”
Your wand goes dark as you say the darkness enchantment.
“Nox,” Lily says, as she ends her spell, plunging your room into darkness.
You like the dark. During sleepovers with your friends, it was always a time for whispering, and secrets.
“I’m so glad Professor Trelawney found me,” Lily says, “I never knew I was doing any kind of magic until she explained it to me. It’s so crazy all the things I’ve seen today, ghosts and elves so many wizards and witches.”
You smile in the Darkness. It must be a lot for her to take on board so quickly.
