"RAVENCLAW!" screamed out the sorting hat, her fate was sealed. The young girl got off the pedestal and walked to her desiginated house table. She wandered down the great hall searching for a spot on the Ravenclaw table. "Wow" she whispered out loud " Ravenclaw is packed this year." She managed to find a seat near the front next to a rather pleasant young man. "Hello" said the young man "My name is Wilfred, and yours?"
"My name is Rose" said the young girl "pleasure to meet you"
"Indeed" said Wilfred. They continued chatting on well into their first Hogwarts feast until headmaster Longbottom stood at the podium quietly waiting for everyone to pay attention. After he was sure everyone was listening he began. The speech went on for little over five minutes but each sentence was worth listening to. " I'm sad to say but the time has come, everyone please go to your dormitories and get a good nights rest, classes start tomorrow." And with those words students started shifting out of their seats and filing out of the hall giving it an eary emptiness.
"Wilfred!" shouted Rose, she had got herself lost in a sea of rather nasty Slytherin students. "Wilfred!" she shouted again.
"OI!" shouted back a rather large guy in Slytherin robes "Shut it you little Ravenclaw before I make you!" Rose was terrified and continued her search for her new friend in silence. Every step she made seemed to be in the wrong direction, everytime ending in a different houses line, except her own. She gave up and in a desperated attempt thrusted her wand up to the ceiling. Bright blue and bronze sparks flew up into the air and came down with a fizzle. All the students stopped and looked towards the instigator of the sparks. Rose stood in the middle of a circle of students, all ready to put the blame onto her. "Oh great, not even here for a day and I'm already getting in trouble" muttered Rose under her breath. A moment later another lot of sparks shot up into the air. This time the sparks came from Wilfred. A smiled flashed on Rose's face. She pushed her way through the crowd and went towards Wilfred. She didn't care what trouble she was about to get in, it only mattered that she was with a friendly face again.
"MS. WEASLEY AND MR. KEPLER, MY OFFICE NOW!" screamed Filch. The two students walked together behind Filch. They had their heads down and only looked up to give quick cheeky smiles at each other. They were almost at the doors that lead below the entrance hall when Proffessor. Longbottom stepped infront of Filch. "Look, Filch it was a simple mistake I'm sure they won't do it again." The headmaster seemed to half convince the caretaker that this was the case. After a good twenty minutes of conversation Filch finally let agreed to let them go their ways. By this time the entrance hall had become empty, the same was to be said for the main staircases.
"I'm sorry Wilfred." said Rose as she climbed the firs row of stairs "I really am."
"I know" he replied "I guess this means we are sort of friends now?"
"Sure! Why not?" eargerly replied Rose. At that moment Wilfred's cheeks turned a scarlet so bright it made Gryffindor's red look like a dead fire. He soon regretted putting on such a display as Rose soon caught on. Though being as polite and grateful as she was she didn't say anything. The stairs seemed to keep going and going and going, until finally they reached the Ravenclaw tower. Before they entered they stood and had an awkward cliched silence before knocking on the door. "Where is the ocean deepest?" asked the Bronze eagle. The pair pondered for a moment before Rose shouted out "At the bottom!" The two waited in anticipation, this was the real test to see if they were Ravenclaws. "Correct!" The door swung open and the pair walked through.
They were greeted by a wonderful sight. Dark blue carpet, a ceiling with painted stars, bookcases everywhere and some rather snug chairs. The two looked at each other and they knew they were at home; where they belonged. They walked past the marble statue of Rowena Ravenclaw and went their seperate ways to their sleeping quaters.
Rose stood in the middle of a circle of beds. There was one free. She walked over to it and glanced out the window. She had wondered why nobody wanted this spot. She sat on the bed and immediately realized. The back of the front of the bed began to creek. She got up and walked over to investigate. Her bed was on the edge of what looked like a poorly built extension. She didn't mind though. She sat back onto the end of her bed and flung herself backwars in a diving motion. Her feet were left with shoes on and hanging over the bed. Rose was too tired to care and drifted off into her first nights sleep at Hogwarts.
Wilfred walked into his dormitory. He wasn't surprised that he was left with the bed closest to the door. "Oh well" he sighed and sat on his bed. Instead of falling asleep like Rose he sat and wondered what she was doing at that exact moment. He wasn't sure why but she fascinated him. Her long red hair and her big brown eyes. Even the way she wore the generic hogwarts uniform made him quiver. He sat thinking for a while longer before he too fell asleep though with a little more dignity as he had managed to change into his pyjamas and get underneath the covers of the deep blue bed.
