What Happened in The Gryffindor Common Room
Chapter 1
I was sitting in the common room as usual doing my homework. After a couple of hours I finished all my homework for the week. I went and sat down by the fireplace and read my book, I was so focused on my book I hadn't noticed someone had come into the common room and was watching me intently.
Suddenly I realized someone was watching me and I looked up and saw a boy with dark hair, beautiful eyes that were behind round glasses and a smile the likes of which I had never seen. The boy said "Hello, I'm Harry what's your name?" I smiled a little and said "Hi, I'm Abigail. It's nice to meet you Harry. He looked at me with a look of curiosity and then sat down in the other chair.
I looked at the clock and realized it was almost 3 in the morning, to fill the silence I said "Why are you up so late?" He laughed and said "I was about to ask the same thing. I'm up because Ron lost his wand in the Dark Forest so me and Hagrid had to go look for it while he hid in his bed in the boys dorm. And you?" "I was doing my homework and then I decided to read my favorite book once I had finished my homework." He smiled but I could see a look in his eyes of concern and wondered if everything was okay. "Did you find the wand?" I asked and Harry said "Yes, it was in his pocket all along." He laughed a little but something still seemed off and I finally mustered up the courage to ask what was wrong. "Harry is there something wrong?" Harry looked at me and said "Actually, yes there is. How did you know?" I said "Your eyes show when you're worried or concerned. Is it something you want to talk about?" He smiled and said "Maybe tomorrow, I think we should both get to bed now though." I said "Okay, goodnight Harry." I smiled as I picked up my homework and went to my dorm. Harry said "Goodnight Abigail" and he went to his dorm.
The next day at breakfast. I sat by myself as usual when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I smiled as I saw it was Harry and said "Good morning Harry. Did you sleep well?" He smiles and said "Yes, although Ron wouldn't let me sleep until he got me to promise to introduce you to him and Hermione." I laughed and said "Alright, I'd love to meet them." He looked at me and I felt as though he saw I hadn't slept very much and I quickly said "When and where should I meet them?" He said "They're going to meet us here in a few minutes." He sat down next to me and I felt my cheeks turning a light pink. Looking back I saw the Slytherin table making fun of Harry and Harry noticed my hands were going to fists and he saw why and put his hand on mine and whispered "Don't let them get to you, especially Draco. They can be real idiots and say mean things but I've always dealt with worse with my aunt and uncle." I blushed as I looked at him and smiled. "I can't help getting mad especially when it comes to one of those Slytherins. My sister is in that group and always makes fun of me.." I sighed and looked at my plate. He held my hand and tried to comfort me but he saw I wasn't in the mood for comforting and said "How about I introduce the others to you later. At least wait until lunch? You look like how I do when my uncles sister called my mum and dad names." I smiled and looked at him "Thanks for understanding." I smiled weakly as I started to eat my porridge.
A few minutes later Harry asked "What's your first class?" I said "Potions with Snape." He smiled and said "That's my first class too, do you want to walk to class with me?" I smiled and said "I'd love too." He looked at me and then returned to eating his breakfast. We ate in silence until it was time to go to class and I grabbed my bag and he followed me towards the door.
