Order Only

When I woke up this morning, Madam Pomfrey told me I was ready to leave the Hospital Wing. My left forefinger won't be growing back, I'll always be a little deaf in one ear, and there's a mess of scars on my side, but otherwise my wounds have all healed up. I reckon I was pretty lucky, all things considered. So I asked where my clothes were, and she told me they were on the chair beside the bed. My own clothes were ruined in the battle, so I expected different ones, but when I turned to look at the chair, I about stopped breathing.

I called after her, 'Are you sure these are for me?' and she said over her shoulder, 'The castle provided them.'

So I put them on.

I'm wearing Ravenclaw robes for the very first time.

Oh, love. It's not offensive in the least. It's just that you might think of Hogwarts differently than others would, and it's important to understand that not everyone wanted to go here.

Moddey wasn't superiour, or significantly worse, I'd warrant, although we had our fair share of gaps, but it was very different. And what is familiar to them doesn't translate all the time to the Houses and formality Hogwarts represents.
