The feast ended and Mira followed the prefects upstairs. They walked up an extremely tall tower. At the top was a door with an eagle knocker.
"Which came first, the phoenix, or the flame?" asked the knocker.
A prefect turned around. "Does anyone know?" he asked. A first year raised his hand.
"The flame, which the phoenix was born to." The door sung open. All of the students piled in. The prefect gave them simple instructions and they all went to their dormitories.

The next day, while the students ate breakfast, their Head of House handed out schedules. Mira looked at hers.

"Hey, it's Mira, isn't it?" asked a voice. Mira looked up and saw another Ravenclaw. "I'm Jonathan. Jonathan Clark." He stuck out his hand and Mira shook it nervously.
The bell rang and students stood to go to class. Mira walked to the right on her way to Charms.
