(Delilah's POV)
"Jazmyne Black!" the shrill voice of Manerva McGonegall yells. Another
nervous 11-year-old? Nope, not MY best friend! Jazmyne was probably
one of the toughest girlst that I know! She was ready for
anything and everything!
As everyone waited in anticipation, the sorting hat suddenly began to
chuckle. Nobody except Jazz knew what it was saying, but it appeared
to be that the two were in a very heated disscusion.
"Better be...GRYFFINDOR!" the hat finally yells, the whoops and cloaps
from the red-clad table were probably heard all the way back in
London.
A few more people went by before MgGonegall pauses. "Delilah Moody?"
It was more of a question than anything. I was used to it, though.
Not many people knew that Alister Moody (also known as the famous Dark
Wizard Capturer, Mad-Eye Moody) had any relatives, let alone I was one of them. In fact, only
Dumbledore and Jazmyne knew!
Nobody really seemed to care, but the proffessor kept giving the
me strange looks. Once the hat was placed on my
head, it took all but five seconds for me to be sorted "GRYFFINDOR!"
Another loud applause sounded off and I sat down next to one of my best
and only friends.
After the rest of the sorting and an elabrate feast, we headed
up to our dorm with the rest of our house. The head boy and girl
explained where the dorms are and we headed up to our room. When
Jazmyne and I reached our destination, we met up with two
other first years. Apparently, the girl with black and red streaked
hair was Scarlett Hagrid and the other one was
Aurora Finnigan. We get ready for bed and swish our lights off.
About 2 am, I wake up and feel rather cold.
Looking around, I spy Jazz's bed and quickly climbs in. We were so
accustumed to this that Jazmyne merely scooted over, allowing me to crawl in beside her. I quickly fall asleep and was
dreaming peacefully.
(3:33 am)
SCREECH!
A loud screech fills the dorm, yet Jaz and I are the only ones to wake up.
A giant screech owl is sitting outside our window! I quickly
recognizes it as my grandfather's and race to recieve the message.
Delilah and Jazmyne:
I know that it is very late but there is something that the two of
you need to know. Jazmyne, your father was taken to Azkaban. I know
that this is hard, but the two of you must stay strong! Sirius did
nothing wrong, he was framed! But you must not tell a soul!
His supposed crime: Killing James and Lily Potter. Now I know that
you thought your father was away on a trip for so many years to find a
trace of where his brother had been, but thats not the case. I'm sorry
that I am telling you this now, but we've kept it hidden for so long
that the two of you should know.
We didn't want anybody else to tell you about this before we did,
so here it is!
Remember, I love you both!
Sincerally,
Alister Moody
(Jaz's POV)
As soon as we read the letter, I ran out of the room & down the
stairs to the common room, I didn't have to look to know that Delilah was right
behind me but I should have look right in front of me because I ran right into
a person.
I looked up but couldn't see who the person was because the tears
were blurring my vision. As the tears spilled over, wiped them away & said,
"Where are you running off too crying like that?"
I looked up & finally saw the face of the speaker.
He had red hair, brighter so than Delilah's but yet
warm.
"She's on her way to Professor Dumbledore's office," spoke Delilah.
"Oh, well allow us to walk you there," said a voice from behind the one
standing in front of me.
"Who are you?" I finally asked.
"I'm Fred. Fred Weasley & that is my twin brother George," said the boy in front of me as he opened the portrait door. "What year are you in?" I asked.
"Second & yourselves?" asked George. "First," Delilah & I replied at the same time. "You're not going to get us lost are you?" I asked looking at the pair with cynical
eyes.
"Never," said Fred with a smile.
That smile. That's all it took to trust these boys. And so began the
greatest friendship.
So, what did you think? Any good? I'm actually writing this with one of y best friends! Each character is based off our own personalities! Please R&R! It would make us REALLY happy! I'll even have one of the twins (or both if you prefer) give you a (cyber) Skiving Snackbox!
