話說格蘭芬多這邊，我們一行人跟伊娃回了公共休息室。“勇猛果敢。”伊娃站在門前對胖夫人說出口令。門開了，眾人進入格蘭芬多公共休息室。伊娃站在中間宣布注意事項和寢室分布。“格蘭芬多口令一個星期一變，這個星期是勇猛果敢，請大家記住并

用口令開門，不要隨意告知其他學院學生，更改口令需級長在公共休息室統一開會告知。好的，從這邊樓梯上去左邊是男寢右邊是女寢，男生不能去女寢，樓梯會變成滑梯，大家選好宿舍就睡覺吧。”安妮拎著鳥籠子，艾瑪抱著貓，塞萊娜拿著行李跟著伊娃走上女寢樓梯，哈迪則跟著喬西和多里安進了男寢。“我吃多了，有點惡心，嘔”自從進了公共休息室，安妮一直在犯惡心，艾瑪在旁邊幫她拍背，安妮一下沒忍住全吐了出來。“我的天呢，今晚有的忙了。”艾瑪把安妮扶去廁所，塞萊娜找拖把開始擦地，伊娃把剛想拿出來的學院袍收了回去。“別再吐衣服上。”“叫你少點吃，沒饑沒飽的。”艾瑪一邊幫安妮順氣，一邊恨鐵不成鋼。“沒辦法，山珍海味太多了，嘔曰。”終于都吐干凈了，伊娃才把校袍拿出來。“試試看合不合身，有尺寸問題可以隨時找我更換。”“好的學姐。”“哇，艾瑪你穿這件好好看。”“是啊，紅色的學院袍確實好看，特別是院徽，還是個獅子。”“誒我袖子卡住了誰來幫我一下。”一群人嘰嘰喳喳的圍著鏡子上躥下跳。“衣服要是沒問題就早點睡覺吧，已經很晚了。”伊娃說完收拾東西回了自己的寢室。“還早呢著什么急，”伊娃剛走安妮就顯得極為亢奮，“開學第一天不多玩會兒嗎，艾瑪，我記得上車之前買了好多好東西，拿出來給大伙看看。”安妮對于明天的新生活有自己的想法。“這么好的機會，我們不應該把時間浪費在睡覺上。”“好吧，我在我們家開的笑話商店拿了很多有意思的東西，我給你們看看。”眾人一拍即合，艾瑪把一兜子的東西一股腦全倒在了床上。“有什么昏迷糖，嘔吐糖，逃課糖還有比比多味豆。”“我也有，我爸爸送給我一件隱形衣，她媽媽還給她拿了個時間轉換器。”眾人連吃糖帶拆巧克力蛙盲盒卡片一直玩到半夜，最后圍著艾瑪的床跳起舞來。“要不是我媽媽說時間轉換器有副作用，我高低給你們看看怎么事。”安妮整個人站在艾瑪床上，高聲喊道。“全體目光向我看齊我宣布個事，我爸給我的隱形衣我們可以用它出去探險。”“但是今天太晚了，明天是開學第一天。”艾瑪疲憊的眨眨眼，表示自己困了。“那我們明天晚上早點出去，趕在宵禁之前回來，就這么說定了。”
