AN: This is my first fanfic so please be nice. If you have any ideas let me know.
It was great to be back home. Though Hogwarts wasn't my proper home but it was to me. I was sitting in a carriage surrounded by classmates. You would think that I would be sitting with my friends but I don't have any. I'm sitting with the most popular people in school, the Potter's and the Weasley's.
There were a lot of Potter's and Weasley's. There was James Potter, Fred Weasley and Dominique Weasley in seventh year. Albus Potter and Rose Weasley are in sixth year. Molly and Lucy Weasley who are twins and Louis Weasley are in fifth year. Roxanne Weasley, Hugo Weasley and Lily Potter are in third year. There is also Teddy Lupin and Victoria Weasley who have already graduated.
Then there is me Isla Grace Reid and I'm in sixth year. I'm the schools resident wallflower. I don't have friends I'm not notice by any of my peers. I'm really only noticed by the teachers.
"Excuse me," said someone. I turned my head to see who it was. It was Rose, I could tell it was her because she is the only Weasley that has frizzy bright red hair.
"Can I help you?" I asked.
"Well we've arrived and you're blocking the door." Rose replied so I nodded and moved out of their way. I walked away from them as quickly as I could. Which wasn't fast because I've got short legs.
"Rose do you know who she is?" Asked James.
"I don't know she must be new," said Rose. Wow Rose and I have been in Study of Ancient Runes and Care of Magical Creatures since third year. But really I shouldn't be surprise. Rose is popular and I'm the wallflower.
"Well I want to get to know her she is beautiful." Said James as he started to walk towards me.
I was lucky because I was about to sit down and we are in two different houses. He was of course in Gryffindor and I was in Ravenclaw. I sat at the end of the table and looked across the room and saw James sitting at his table.
As always the feast starts with the sorting. The hat was brought out and all the little first years stood in the line. Ten people got sorted into Gryffindor, seven into Slytherin, five into Hufflepuff and eight into Ravenclaw. After that our school song was sung by the choir and then a speech from our headmistress Professor McGonagall. The speech went like welcoming new students and old students, don't go in the forbidden forest, what wasn't allowed in our school. To be honest with you after listening to it the sixth time it was boring. So I didn't really listened not that it really mattered I knew the speech off by heart.
When the speech was over the food magically appeared in front of me. I dug in and ate all of my favourite food. I ate some chicken, steamed vegetables and for desert some chocolate cake. When I finished I took a sip from my drink which was pumpkin juice.
"Alright I hope you all have a great year. The prefects will take the first years to their dorms." Said McGonagall. Everyone got up from their seats and rushed out of the doors. I waited behind a bit waiting for mostly everyone to leave. Once nearly everyone left I got up and started to walk out of the dining hall.
As I was leaving I felt someone's hand grab my wrist. I turned around and saw it was James.
"Hey, since you're new I can show you the way to your dorm." Murmured James. So I'm offended and annoyed.
"Actually this is my sixth year here. I know the way to my dorm," I said as I snatched my wrist from him and strode away.
"Hey, wait. I'm sorry!" He exclaimed while running after me.
"Can't you just leave me alone?" I exclaimed.
"Can you please tell me your name?" He asked.
"My name is Isla and your name is James. I know that because I pay attention to other people." I snapped as I rushed down another hallway. I'm nearly at the common room I kept thinking.
"Can you stop walking?" James inquired. I sighed and nodded. I stopped walking and turned around. I waited until James caught up to me. As soon as he did we kept on walking to my dorm.
"I'm sorry that I snapped at you," I told him.
"You could make it up to me," he remarked.
"How can I make it up to you?" I asked.
"You could let me get to know you," James murmured.
"Alright." I agreed and we smiled at each other. As we arrived a few feet away from the door. We both stopped and faced each other.
"Well I might see you in class tomorrow," I suggested.
"Yeah maybe. See you later Isla." He said as he walked away.
"Goodbye James," I called out to him. I faced the door and braced myself for the riddle.
"Who makes it, has no need of it.
Who buys it, has no use for it.
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.
What is it?" The bronze eagle knocker asked me. This was an easy one.
"A coffin," I replied. The door swung open and I entered the Ravenclaw common room. The common room was a big circular room that had light blue carpet. The walls were a darker blue and the ceiling had silver stars on it. The room had arched windows that had blue and silver curtains. The windows have a great view of the schools yard. There were many first years looking around the common room in wonder and the rest were catching up with their friends.
I walked over to the girl's staircase that leads up to the girl's dormitory. I stroll up the staircase heading nearly all the way up to the top. I stopped in front of the door that said my name and three others. The three names that I've seen next to mine since first year.
Isla Grace Reid
Jasmine Lee Steric
Cassandra Jade Williams
Kennedy Lily Ross
I don't think we've really had a proper conversation, we've just said hello to each other. Not that I mind that much. I'm use to them being the best of friends and I've been their weird roommate. It was about eight o'clock because the feast ended later than the usual dinners we have at school.
I walked to my bed which was right next to the window and the furthest away from the other beds. I lifted my suitcase onto my bed and opened it up. I put all my clothes into my wardrobe and lined my shoes on the floor of the wardrobe. I put all my school things on one of the top shelves and then put my personal books on the second and third shelves. I put all my personal things into the side table next to my bed. I didn't really bring a lot with me.
By the time I was finished packing I started getting ready for bed and so did the other girls. When we all finished we got into bed and the lights went out. I laid in bed thinking about what happened today. The one thing I knew was that everything was going to change just because James Sirius Potter the second noticed me.
