Konnor woke a little early this morning. She rubbed as she tried to adjust her eyes to the morning sun. It was chilly in her room. She hopped out of her bed, and walked over to the window. She slightly opened the curtains, just to see what it looked like outside. It was snowing a little. Konnor stood there a minute, watching as snow flakes fell to the ground. She moved away from the window, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she was done drying off in the bathroom, she grabbed her tooth brush, and brushed her teeth. She loved to groom herself properly, and look nice. She smiled at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. She decided to go back to her room, and change considering she was only wearing a towel.
She dug through her drawers searching for the perfect outfit. As she looked through her top drawer, she took out two white matching socks. She walked to the closet, quietly as to not wake the others, and grabbed her cutest jeans. She got her robe, brown scarf, and matching gloves. She walked back over to her drawers, and got out her cute pink shirt with built in light pink tank- top. She put on her clothes all except scarf, her robe, and gloves. She walked to her bedroom mirror, and brushed her long blonde hair, and fixed it into a cute bun resting nicely on the top of her head. She then applied some glossy pink lip balm to her cute pink lips.
Pleased with her appearance she walked over to where she had sat her bag neatly on her bed. She set her bag on the floor, and fixed her bed. She liked to keep her room as orderly as possible. She picked her bag up and, placed her book she had checked out of the library on potions in it. Konnor also put some parchment and quill in the cute pink bag with the Hufflepuff crest. Bored and not knowing what to do now she put on her robe, scarf, and matching gloves. She grabbed her bag, and headed for the Hufflepuff common room. She quietly skipped over to the door, closing it quietly, and she was on her way. Seconds later she arrived at the common room. She saw some people in there but didn't particularly recognize them. She sat down by the fire, and started reading her book. As she sat quietly reading her leg kind of fidgeted, she wasn't quite used to not prancing and hopping about.

Sophia woke up especially early that morning. It was Christmas Eve, which happened to be her birthday. She looked at her small, owl-shaped clock on her bedside table, and noticed that it was only 7.30am. She didn't actually care,and shuffled to the end of her bed, to look at the tiny pile of presents there.
"To Sophia. Happy Birthday! With love, from Mum", read one label. It was a fairly large, soft package, and Sophia immediately knew that it was something to wear. She opened the package, and saw that it was a long, cream-coloured cardigan. She loved all that stuff!
"Happy Birthday Sophia! Love, dad!" read the other label. This was a large, square box, so it could be a number of things. After opening it, she found a muggle Chemistry set, which was probably her dads idea of help with Potions, and wasn't suprising, as he was a Chemistry teacher back in Manchester.
Sophia decided to get dressed then. She decided to put on her pink trousers, which were nice and warm, her green 'girls rock' t-shirt, and of course, her new cardigan. She then decided to go to the common room, and have a quick look at the chemistry set, and write a quick thank-you note to her parents, although she'd have to wait till tomorrow to finish it, for the Christmas presents.
Goin into the common room, she barely recognised anyone, as there was nobody from her dorm there. O her year, even-it was mainly first years, as they were always the first to get up.
She saw a friendly-looking 5th year, sitting on her own by the fire, reading. She thought that she'd go and sit with her, as everyone else seemed to be talking to soemone else, and Sophia didn't like sitting on her own and besides-it would probably be a bir safer, and warmer, by the fire, with her chemistry set.
She went up to the girl. "Errm...hi...erm, can I sit here...I mean, if you don't mind".

Konnor looked up and smiled as she saw the girl asked to sit down. "Of course you may!" Konnor replied happily. She was quite hyper. And a bit chipper on that note. "Whats that you got there?" Konnor asked curiously, her head kind of tilting to the side. It always did when something she saw was of interest. The girl looked nice, but younger, age never mattered to Konnor she was nice to everyone even Slytherins. Even thought Slytherins never were back, but Konnor was raised to spread love not hatred of any kind. Konnor looked back down at her book, and marked her place. "Oh, my name is Konnor Ortiz.. I'm a fifth year!"
She noticed how shy the girl was just asking to sit down. Konnor giggled, she couldn't imagine some one actually being shy to to talk to her. Konnor never admitted to herself that she was older, and a bit more intimidating, than say a first year. She new this girl wasn't a first year. She was older maybe like thirteen, twelve at the youngest. Konnor smiled held up her hand gesturing for the girl to shake it. "Nice to meet you.." Konnor said waiting for a response.

Sophia shook Konnors hand. "Thanks! Nice to meet you, Konnor. I'm Sophia. Sophia Hallington-a third year." She smiled nicely at Konnor-after just a few seconds, she already knew that she was a nice girl.
"This is just a chemistry set, that my dad sent me from home. It's my birthday, you see, and he's a chemist, so he always sends something to do with chemistry. My parents are both muggles-it was a real surprise when I got the letter". Sophia blushed-she hardly knew Konnor, yet she was already going on about herself.
"So, what book are you reading there? Maybe it's one that I've read? Or maybe not...".

"Your welcome, and nice to meet you too." Konnor said sweetly. Konnor smiled at Sophia, she was nice. Konnor loved meeting new people. "Oh, thats cool, are you about to use it?" Konnor asked curiously. "Happy birthday?" "How old are you turning today?" Konnor asked curiously, but in a way trying not to butt in.
"Thats awesome, I wish my dad could send me cool things like that." "Thats cool that he is trying to help you out here." "Oh my book, I got it from the Hogwarts library. Its called "Potions" believe it or not." Konnor smiled and slightly giggled.

"I'm 14 today...one of the eldest in my dorm, I think...everyone seems surprised when they find out when my birthday is, as it's pretty strange..."
"And this set does look pretty cool...it should probably help with potions, but it will probably completely different stuff. I was just going to have a look and try it out, see if I could get anything to work. Wanna have a go?"
Sophia started to open the box, pulling out the instruction booklet, and various chemicals, and tubes and other stuff. She had a look at the first page...*forming Sodium Chloride*...

"Wow, the big 14.. Anything changed for you yet?" Konnor asked jokingly. Konnor's fourteenth birthday nothing special happened what so ever. Konnor hoped that Sophia was having a good birthday though. "Sure I would love to try it out!" Konnor said excitedly. "What do you do?" Konnor questioned. Konnor watched as she pulled out the instructions, and supplies. It looked pretty nifty. The chemicals were cool looking, and came in various colors. Konnor waited patiently for them to get started.
(Sorry I didn't have much to go on..)

"errm...nothing changed really...don't feel any different or anything" she simled, and looked at the instructions...it looked like this experiment was pretty simple. Sodium Chloride...otherwise known as table salt...just sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, mixed together, and heated. There was a litlle bottle of a clear liquid, labeled 'hydrochloric acid', and another labeled 'sodum hydroxide'. Both had a label with the toxic sign on, and another saying the pH of the substance. There was a small measuring tube, so you could measure the amounts of the liquids, and a beaker that you mixed them in. There was also a bunsen burner, with a heat mat to stop the table getting burnt, and a small tripod with a grill that you put the beaker on, and a box of matches to light the bunsen.
