"Gryffindor first years!" a tall, pale boy with topaz eyes and bronze hair called, "All Gryffindor first years!" Once the five at the end of the table, with about five others, got there, they saw that he and the girl next to him, who was equally as pale, with gorgeous long, straight dark hair, elegant facial structure and shining brown eyes, were wearing prefect badges. "Okay," the girl said, "I'm Bella, and this is Edward, we're Gryffindor prefects, so follow us and we'll take you to the common room and dormitories, where your luggage and pets will be waiting."
The first years followed the two stunningly gorgeous prefects through the confusing moving staircases, and were eventually lead to a portrait of a fat lady. "Godric's Hollow", Edward said, and the portrait swung open, as the prefects lead the first years into the already bustling common room. "Okay, just go to the rooms with first year's signs on the door, boys on the right, and girls on the left" said Bella, and with that, she and Edward went to join the other four prefects.
Gwen joined Bridgette, Leshawna and the other two female first years in Gryffindor, Abigail, and Sara, to their room, which contained six four-poster beds, three on either side. Gwen, settled in to one in the upper left hand corner, near the window, and Bridgette settled in the middle one on the left, and Leshawna in the upper right-hand corner, and Sara and Abigail settled in the lower two corners, closest to the door.
With Gwen setting up various dark, gothic posters (that didn't move), Leshawna putting up (moving) posters of her favorite witches and wizards, and Bridgette putting in posters of water creature from the magic and muggle worlds, while Abigail and Sara were gabbing more than they were unpacking.
Leshawna held up her brown owl and said "I'm going to drop Prophet off at the owlry, you two wanna come?" "Sure," said Bridgette, "I have to take Lily up there anyway" holding up her own cream white owl with accents of gold. "No thanks," replied Gwen, "I don't have an owl, all I have is Twilight here" pointing to her sleek black cat, which she had adorned herself with accents of silver and midnight blue. "Then see ya later!" Leshawna said, walking out of the room, and Gwen started to unpack her robes and new Gryffindor clothing that had been with he belongings, feeling somewhat disconnected from all these students who already knew about magic.
Trent and Geoff joined the three other first year guys to their room, which was exactly the same as the girls'. "Trent, bro, you wanna take the two beds by the window?" Geoff asked. "Sure man" Trent replied, placing his stuff down, while the other three guys, Will, Josh and Jonathan, were to distracted talking about girls to put their stuff down.
"Geoff man, do you think they'll stop talking long enough to realize that they're supposed to be unpacking?" Trent asked, pointing to the other three. "Eh, they'll stop eventually," Geoff replied, shrugging, "but they're getting pretty carried away with talking about girls, but, how can I blame em, some of the chicks in our year are cute, especially that blonde one."
Trent looked puzzled. "You mean that Slytherin with the huge chest?" he asked, confused as why Geoff would like her. "No man, that one in Gryffindor, Bridgette" Geoff replied, staring off into space for a second, "and I think it's pretty obvious you have a thing for Gwen."
"Shut up!" Trent said, blushing a little, "and I have to go to the owlry and drop off Oakley here" and he held up an oak brown owl with accents of white, "you wanna come with?" Geoff was staring off into space again. "Geoff, Geoff!" he shouted, immediately snapping him out of it.
"Huh?" Geoff exclaimed, startled. "Dude, you want to come up to the owlry?" Trent asked again. "Sure man, I need to drop off Diagon here" Geoff said "let's go!"
"Okay, we need all the new Ravenclaws!" shouted a small, pixie-looking girl, shorter than some of the first years, with short, spiky black hair and pale skin. Once they had all gathered, the boy next to her, who was tall, muscular and had honey blonde hair, spoke, "Okay, I'm Jasper, this is Alice, we're two of the prefects, and we're going to take you up to the common room and dormitories."
They were taken to the west side of the school to Ravenclaw Tower, where there was a door with nothing but a bronze eagle knocker. Alice reached out and knocked in once, and the eagle's beak opened and it asked "Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?" (Sorry, I have writers block, so I'm just using what they put in Deathly Hallows).
"Hmmm… ideas, anyone?" asked Jasper, "You have to answer this correctly before you may gain access." Izzy jumped up and down, shouting "Ohhhhh, pick me, I have an idea! I think it's neither!" "That's silly," Courtney said, "one of them had to…"
"Well reasoned" said the eagle, and the door swung open.
"Okay," said Alice, go to your dorms, guys on the right, girls on the left, they'll have signs on them." And with that, the first years set off.
Izzy, Beth and Courtney set off with the other two girls, Diya and Brittney, to their room, which had relatively the same layout as the Gryffindor's, except with a bigger window, that had a spectacular view of the lake and mountains.
"I call this bed!" Izzy shouted, flinging her stuff onto the bed in the upper right-hand corner, closest to the window. Then Courtney put her belonging on the bed across from Izzy's, Beth settled in the lower left hand corner, closest to the door, and the other two settled in the remaining beds on the right hand side.
"So, Izzy, do you have any pets?" Courtney asked, holding up her own pale gray owl's cage. "You bet Izzy does!" Izzy exclaimed, picking up her black and silver owl, black and white rat, and brown tabby cat, "meet Constellea, Sullivan and Gorbachev, what's your owl's name?"
"Ummm… it's Marjorie, and aren't we only allowed one animal?" Courtney questioned, scanning Izzy's three pets. "Who cares? I sure don't, I have to take Constellea to the owlry, BYE!" Izzy jabbered, before running off.
"Ugh, better go follow her" Courtney groaned, grabbing Marjorie and heading out. And Beth was watching all of this, stroking her small brown kitten Zabini.
Across the hall, the guys were settling in with much less excitement. Harold and Cody, who had settled into the middle two beds across from each other, were chatting about enchanting muggle technology and Noah had settled in to the lower left hand bed, and was reading his new History of Magic textbook. Noah had already had his mom drop off hid tawny brown owl Kepler off at the owlry, Harold had a rat named Napoleon, ans Cody had a toad named Rune. So as you see, it was all pretty boring, and the only good stuff was happening with the other three boys, Alix, Galen and Robin, but sadly, they are not the characters this fanfic is about.
"First year Hufflepuffs, come here please!" shouted a pale fifth year with curly bronze hair and brown eyes. All the students filed over to her and the boy next to her, who had long black hair, dark eyes and a tall, muscular build. "Okay," the boy said, "I'm Jacob and this is Nessie…" "Jacob! It's Renesmee!" shouted the girl. "anyway," continued Jacob, "we're two of the Hufflepuff prefects, and we're gonna take you to the dorms, so follow us."
They approached a door, and Jacob said "Firebolt" and it were lead into the Hufflepuff Cellar, which had fat armchairs and bright yellow wall hangings. "Okay," Renesmee explained, take those two underground tunnels to your dorms, girls take the left tunnel and the guys the right tunnel" and she pointed to the passages, which had perfectly round doors.
Katie and Sadie, joined by four other girls, Ashanti, Ila, Alexandria and Megan, headed through the cheerfully illuminated tunnel to their dorm, which had a high, sloped ceiling with a small round window at one end, and the beds were laid out in a different arrangement than Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. The room was a perfect square, with the door on one side, and two beds on every other side. Sadie and Katie took the two beds on the far side, and started gabbing like never before, before agreeing that they needed to take the pet they shared, Arabella, a black and grey speckled owl, to the owlry, and headed out.
Meanwhile, the boys were having a different experience. The four of them, and the other boy in their year, Johannes, were having the near equivalent to complete chaos. Owen had settled with Johannes on the right side, Tyler and DJ were on the back wall, and Zeke put his stuff on a bed on the left side.
Now, they had decided to let all of their animals out, and so Owen, Tyler and Johannes were trying to catch them all, DJ was trying to make sure none of them get hurt, and Ezekiel was sitting on his bed, scared out of his wits.
After a while, they had finally caught them all, Johannes decided to take his owl to the owlry right away, but the other guys decided to stay in the room a bit longer, and make sure all the animals were alright.
They first checked Owen's tan and white owl Ludo, who had been flying pretty high up. He was tired, but okay. Then they checked Ezekiel's rat, Archie, who had his tail stepped on, but was otherwise fine. Next was DJ's cat, a grey one with black stripes named Dimitrov, who was cowering under Owen's bed, completely unharmed. Finally was Tyler's owl;, a dark brown one named Alastor, who had gotton a small splinter in his wing, but DJ removed it and then he was fine.
"WOOOO!" Owen yelled once it was all over, "that was AWESOME!"
"First year Slytherins" called a fifth year girl, who was stunningly gorgeous, with long, wavy, blonde hair, flawless pale skin and eyes resembling violets, who was standing next to a boy, who was tall, very muscular and had slightly curly dark hair. "Okay, we're prefects, I'm Emmett and this is Rosalie, now follow us to the Slytherin dungeon" the boy instructed.
The students were lead to a wall in one of the cellars, where Emmett spoke the word "Dragon" and the wall opened up, leading them to a dungeon-style room.
"Okay, your dormitories are that way, they'll have signs on them, so go settle in" instructed Rosalie, and then she and Emmett disappeared into the crowd.
Heather pushed her way past Lindsay, Eva and the other two Slytherin girls, Jessica and Julia and threw her stuff onto the only bed that had a view out of the room's small window, which looked up through the lake.
"Hey," Eva growled, "move it, I want that bed, and I'm willing to hit your preppy little butt into the next dimension to get it." "Fine, get yourself expelled" Heather replied primly. "Just MOVE!" Eva roared. "No," Heather replied primly, "now come along Lindsay, and bring your owl, we're heading off to the owlry." And with that, she picked up her raven black owl with silver markings, which she had named Septima, and Lindsay took her owl, a pure white one named Poppy, and they headed out.
Eva, in a fit of rage, threw Heather's things at her as she walked out, and claimed her bed.
Meanwhile with the boys, Justin was being silent, and Duncan was intimidating the other three boys, David, Cameron and Milik. So after a while, they both got bored, and took their owls, Justin's a flawless pure white one named Apollyon and Duncan's an owl that was originally pure black, but Duncan had accented some of its feathers with green, and even pierced it in some places, that he had named Sirius.
Notes
+Thanks to all the people that have reviewed and will reviewed.
