Hey everyone! Here's chapter two! Okay, so i'm going to try and get into the habit of updating every Monday and Thursday, but well see if i actually do it. lol, if not you cana ll yell at me.
Disclaimer: I do not own the paragraph describing the Ravenclaw common room, it belongs to J.K. Rowling.
Emma and Landon showed me the way to Ravenclaw tower. Emma answered the riddle to get in, and Landon and I followed behind her.
The common room was beautifully cozy. It was a wide, circular room. There were graceful arched windows punctuating the walls, which were hung in blue and bronze silks. The ceiling was domed and painted with stars, which were echoed in the midnight-blue carpet. There were tables, chairs, and bookcase's filled with books. In a niche opposite the door, there was a tall statue of white marble. It was a beautiful, yet slightly intimidating, with a slightly quizzical smile in her lips. A delicate looking circlet had been reproduced in marble on top of her head.
"Who's that?" I asked in awe.
Landon chuckled, "That's Rowena Ravenclaw, founder of Ravenclaw house."
"Wow" I said.
"Yeah" Landon agreed.
"Come on; let's go up to our dorm!" Emma said, grabbing my arm.
"Night Landon!" She yelled as she started to pull me towards a door.
I stared in shock at Landon as Emma pulled me backwards. He had an amused expression on his face.
"Night!" He called after us.
Emma opened the door and started dragging me up a flight of stairs.
"Uh, Emma? How do you know where I'm sleeping?" I asked.
"I asked Professor Patil. She said you were in my dorm" Emma explained.
She stopped suddenly and I ran into her.
"Umph!" I said.
"Sorry" She said before opening a door to the left and pulled me into a big room, with five beds in it. There were several windows in the room.
Emma pointed to a four-poster bed next to a big window.
"That's yours" She said.
I smiled, "Thanks."
She smiled back, "Welcome."
There were two other girls in the room besides me and Emma. I assumed they where my other roommates.
A red haired, green eyed girl with a heart-shaped face was reading a book in an armchair in the corner. The other was spread across her bed, reading what looked like a Muggle gossip magazine. She was on her stomach, her feet crossed in the air. She had curly, bleach blonde hair with dark blue eyes and an oval face.
"Girls, this is Peyton Anderson" Emma announced.
The girl in the armchair put her book down, and smiled at me. I smiled back. She stood up and came over to me.
"Hey, I'm Danielle Smith, but you can just call me Dani." She said.
"Hi, Dani" I said.
She gave me a hug, and then went back to the chair and started reading again.
The girl on the bed said, "Hi Peyton" but otherwise just ignored us.
"That's Jane Baxter. She's really nice and fun to be with, but when she reads her magazines, nothing else exists" Emma explained.
I nodded in understanding and then went over to my bed and sat down. I missed my old friends, but I was glad to have new ones also.
I wondered what my best friend Sara was doing right now. She'd asked if she could come to Hogwarts with me, but her mother wouldn't let her.
I heard the door open and close, so I looked up.
A girl with a round face, blonde hair, brown highlights, and hazel eyes was standing by the door.
"Oh, hey Melissa, this is Peyton" She said, pointing towards me.
"Hey, I'm Melissa Donavan." She said with a smile.
I returned the smile, "Hello."
The next morning was the first day of term. Emma and I met Landon in the common room and the three of us went down to breakfast together. Professor Patil, head of Ravenclaw house, passed out our class schedules while we were eating. Emma took mine and looked at it and then passed it back with excitement.
"We have almost all the same classes!" She said, practically squealing.
"Cool!" I said.
Landon just rolled his eyes and continued eating.
Just then, there was a loud clamor coming from the doorway. I looked over to see a boy with unnatural green hair and blue eyes and a group of girls following him. He tripped his head back and laughed at something one of the girls said. I noticed one was actually standing next to him, and it looked like holding his hand. She was very pretty and had a strange slivery-red colored hair and light green eyes.
The boy and girl sat down at the Gryffindor table, and the other girls scattered and sat at their own tables.
"Who's that?" I asked.
"That was Teddy Lupin. The girl is Victoire Weasley" Emma explained.
"Weasley, isn't that one of Harry Potter's friends?" I asked.
"One of her uncle's is, yeah." Landon said.
"Oh. Isn't Lupin one of the one's who died in the Final Battle?"
Landon shrugged, "I think so, but I'm not sure."
We ate silently for a few minutes.
"Wow!" I said, suddenly having an epiphany.
"What?" Emma and Landon asked at the same time.
"This room, this very room, was where Harry Potter defeated Voldemort!" I said.
"Wow, you're right! I've never even thought about that!" Landon said in amazement.
"WOAH!" was all Emma managed to say.
When the warning bell rang, Landon and I managed to pull Emma to our first class. She seemed to have gone into shock at my discovery.
