A/U After reading the hp series, I really wanted to write something, I just didn't know what, exactly. I wanted to write something about the normal people, not the ones written about in the series. I came up with these characters, and have been developing them on and off for a while. I finally decided that I shouldn't be a coward, and just write the darned thing. So here I am. Hopefully you guys won't shun me for writing something horrible, but I think it'll turn out okay. So, go on and read the thing.
Disclaimer: I am not blonde. My name is not J.K. Rowling. I have not written Harry Potter. Therefore, I do not own Harry Potter! I only own my darling characters, and the plot. (Also, I would like to say that the name "Hive Five" is not of my creation, no matter how much I would like it to be.)
Ileyna looked at her best friends, Helen, Veronica, Fey, and Evelyn. They were also known as the Hive Five, partly because the first letters of their names could spell that, but mostly because they were so good together and so inseparable that they almost deserved to have a name for themselves. Ileyna had met them on the Hogwart's Express a bit more than 7 years ago. They were all a little nervous, and had happened to sit in the same compartment. They hit it off almost instantly, and despite their differences in personalities, they became the best of friends. Over the years, they had formed a sort of clique, but the only similarity was the exclusiveness, not the hatred and jealousy that one normally thinks of. They were so close, that the mere thought of betraying one another made them sick. As Ileyna was reminiscing on their shared past, Veronica interrupted her thoughts with her whispering.
"Hey Ily, look to your front right in about 2 seconds." Of course Veronica was already thinking about boys, thought Ileyna as she looked to her right and saw the group of five boys that she knew Veronica was talking about. One of them looked Oriental, and he was looking straight at her. Blushing a bit at being caught, he quickly ducked his head and turned to animatedly talk with his friends.
"I see what you see Veronica. I think that I'll talk to him later. And by the way, what have I said about calling me Ily?" Ileyna finished her sentence with a mock glare at her friend.
"You said that it is annoying since Ily is the abbreviation for I love you." recited Veronica.
"That is correct. Now I must deduct 5 points from Hufflepuff for not listening to the Head Girl."
"Ileyna!"
"Just kidding! Give me a break, Veronica, you really think that I'd do that to one of my best friends?"
"No. I was just messing with you," replied Veronica brightly, "Now, how about we go and try to survive our last year at Hogwarts?" directing the last sentence to the rest of the H5. She was met with approval, and with that, all five of them swept out of the Great Hall, leaving many open-mouthed males in their wake.
Once they were out of the Hall, Ileyna giggled slightly. Evelyn, Helen, Fey, and Veronica looked at her quizzically. In unison. That was the last straw. She started laughing so hard that the rest of her friends couldn't help but join in. Once they were done, and Ileyna was hiccupping slightly, Evelyn, always the caring one, asked why she had suddenly started laughing.
"The giggle was because it is astonishing that we-no not we, you are all beautiful-that I am partly able to produce reactions from the male species, and the laughter was because you looked at me with a baffled expression at the same exact time." She said by way of explanation. The others looked at her again, this time with smiles on their faces, and they laughed together. It felt good to be laughing again.
One they got to the corridor where they must part, (they were in separate Houses, the reason they could sit together at lunch was because the new Headmistress wanted to promote House Unity after the war) they had a group hug, and agreed to meet at the same table for lunch. Ileyna then went to the Heads' private dorms (she normally went with Fey), Fey went to Ravenclaw, Evelyn went to Hufflepuff, Veronica went to Gryffindor, and Helen went to Slytherin. The whole way to her special dorm, Ileyna couldn't stop thinking about two things. The boy looking at her during breakfast, and the person she was going to be Head with this year. When she got to the painting with the angel, she said ethereal gumdrops, and the painting swung open. When she got inside, she looked around the spacious common room that she would be sharing with the Head Boy. After looking into her room and making sure that everything was right, she got curious. She crept over to the opposite side, and looked at the closed door, and read.
"Robert Wang," she said out loud, testing it on her tongue. To her surprise, someone answered.
"That's my name. Don't wear it out," she turned and to her surprise, she saw the guy who was looking at her during breakfast with a slight smirk on his face.
Reviews mean more background for the rest of the Hive Five and the group of guys! (and maybe more fluff)
