Hey, everyone. I'm back for the second chapter. Thanx to -for giving me my first review EVER! And, no, Ginny is not here currently. Maybe I'll add her later. So, on with the story and, as you all know….

I don't own House of Anubis or Harry Potter.

Chapter 2: House of Open Doors

Patricia's POV

I can't believe I'm listening to Joy rant about her love her Fabian! I honestly don't understand why relationships have to seem so complicated. I'm no Fabina (as Amber would say) shipper but if Joy's going to be like this for a while, I may as well band with Amber and play *shudder* matchmaker just to shut Joy up!

We were crossing the lounge when a foot stuck out and kicked me! Looking down, I saw a boy with white hair. I stared. Not blonde hair like the Slimeball's—just white. Then, I remembered why I was mad at this stranger.

"Does the name lounge mean anything to you? You lounge here; yeah, not sleep, lounge."

He stood up slowly. He was a head taller than me but I just imagined him as Jerome and that made things a whole lot easier. His pale face scrunched as his eyes narrowed.

"Do you know who you're talking to? Are you threatening me muggle?"

Okay, not so easy. Muggle? My momentary surprise was not missed by the arrogant boy who smirked.

"Shocked you into submission, girl? Who are you anyway?"

"P-Patricia," I slowly became confident again, "Who are you? The Grim Reaper unmasked? God, you're pale…"

"Draco, "he sneered, "Draco Malfoy."

"Well Draco," putting emphasis of the latter's name, "I'd love to chat with you but I'm going to hang somewhere where idiots don't act like the king of the castle."

I grabbed Joy's arm and stalked out of the room. I could feel his glare burn into the back of my head, but I ignored him.

"Well, look who it is…" a familiar voice said.

I spun around in my chair, my brown hair slap my face, and saw the pale boy. Draco! My heart jumped off a cliff and landed in my stomach as I spotted a trunk behind him.

"Oh no! PLEASE tell me you're not living here!"

Draco just laughed, "Don't worry; I want nothing to do with you. Hopefully, if this is your," he looked around the common room with his nose upturned, "Home, then this stay will be quite short."

I stared at him. What an arrogant boy! "Well, if you want to leave, I suggest you walk through those doors you just passed through!"

I stood up and walked out those very doors. But he followed me!

"What do you want, creep?" I asked.

"This may surprise you but you seem like a worthy ally. Even if you are a muggle." He looked me up and down with a look of disgust but stuck out his hand. "What do you say?"

Snorting, I turned my back on the weirdo and headed for the school.

Nina's POV

The dark haired boy, who was like a thinner version of Fabian now that I saw him better, stood up. "Hi, do you live here? I'm Harry. Harry Potter."

"Well..um…nice to meet you Harry." I said awkwardly.

"I'm Ron." The redhead stood up and shook my other hand.

"Hermione." The girl on the floor stood up. She reminded me of myself.

"So," Fabian said slowly, "Are you guys staying here?"

The trio before me nodded.

Just then, Patricia walked in from behind us, yelling at someone. "Why don't you just leave me alone, creep." She stopped when she saw Harry, Ron and Hermione staring at her. "Great, more newbies. I've already had to suffer with Dracula here half the day!"

A thin pale boy with bleach white hair came in. "Being tied to your foot wasn't a picnic either, girl."

That's when I realized that they were tied at the ankle. Before I could open my mouth, Amber whispered, "Wonkey Donkey. Jerome's come up with this crazy thing and I had to be stuck with Alfie."

'Isn't that tomorrow?' I thought.

"Oh," Patricia said, "Forgotten my name already? I should have known that tiny brain of yours couldn't hold much information. Sorry 'bout the overload."

Harry, Ron and Hermione laughed. The boy turned a light pink and dragged Patricia out of the room.

Harry had tears of laughter streaming down his face, "Is she always that brilliant?"

"Brilliant isn't the word here." Ron said, "She did better than I ever could. That was bloomin' marvelous!"

Fabian laughed beside me. Amber was just standing cluelessly. Just then, I heard a voice. 'Watch the time piece, my dear child. The Mask waits.'

"Sibuna meeting, NOW!" I whispered to Amber. "We need to finish the puzzle."

Amber smiled, "Oh, yeah." She smiled and whispered in Fabian's ear. He look questioningly at me. I couldn't help but smile. Even his confused face was cute! Forcing myself to look impatient, I remembered that the three teens in front of us were watching us.

"Uh," I said, "We have to go… do something."

The voice echoed in my mind as we hurried up the stairs and grabbed the other books. Vera was in Victor's office, chatting with him. The new kids were still in the common room so we couldn't enter the cellar without being suspicious. We decided to go to Frobisher Library. As long as we didn't have to face another awkward silence with Harry, Ron and Hermione. They seemed very strange to me. What were they talking about before? I hoped everything would become clear soon.

Harry's POV

I watched as the brown haired girl left with the other two and sat down again.

"Well that was…strange." Ron said. I turned to my two best friends. "Did anyone else feel that chill when they walked in?"

"It's just the house, Harry," Hermione said sitting next to Ron, "But I can tell that Draco and that other girl, Patricia I think they called her, will get along just fine." She smiled when she said that.

"I know," Ron piped up, "That was the funniest experience I've had all day."

As Ron and Hermione bantered about what they thought Patricia was like, I sat deep in thought.

'I can't be wasting my time here.' I thought, 'What is Dumbledore up to? I know I'm happy about not being with the Dursleys but a muggle school? How did he even get us here in the first place?" I knew that Dumbledore was a brilliant man but I doubt he knew the first thing about Muggle affairs.

"This is going to be a very boring stay."

No-one's POV

Harry could not have been further from the truth.

There you have it! Chapter 2! Malfoy seems to have replaced Eddie, hasn't he? This may not have been as good as Chapter 1 because I kinda got minor writer's block. But still, is it good? Please Review and I'll update soon.
