The Weekend

I woke up early in the morning and, turning to the side, didn't find Daphne, which left me disappointed. Deciding to distract myself, I put on my workout clothes, went outside, did my morning run, and returned to the dorm. Hogwarts seemed empty, and I went to the bathroom attached to our room for my morning routine.

After finishing, I headed to the common room, where Penelope Clearwater greeted me. We discussed classes, and she showed me a detailed map of Hogwarts, including Hogsmeade. I quickly copied it into my mind palace, creating a map table reminiscent of the Bifrost map from God of War 3. Surprisingly, I could access the map instinctually outside my mind palace.

Setting my goals for the year in my notebook, I listed:

1. Find information about soul magic using the Room of Requirement (ROR).

2. If I find anything on soul magic, begin studying and practicing it. (Goal: Heal Lily Potter)

3. Investigate the inheritance of the founders to start next year.

4. Explore everything about the cursed vaults.

Seeing Daphne, I greeted her, and we found a quiet spot to sit for a while before heading to breakfast. With classes starting on Monday, we had two full days to ourselves. After breakfast, the group split up to explore the castle. I took Daphne to the Room of Requirement, where we spent quality time experimenting with its possibilities and limitations.

As another day passed, preparing for classes filled me with excitement, not for learning but for the unique experience of being in a magical classroom within the fantastical world that had become my reality.
