Morning Of The First Day
Ravenclaw Dorm
Spencer Hastings woke up with a start. She reached over for her wand and said "Lumos". A white light burned brightly from the tip of her wand. She checked her alarm clock.
"Seriously? It's only 3 am?!" Spencer murmured to herself.
"Woken up due to a head full of Wrackspurts?" an airy voice asked.
"Huh? What's a-"
"I'm Luna, by the way. Welcome to Ravenclaw" the voice finished.
"Nice to meet you," said Spencer apprehensively; "I'm Spencer Hastings".
"Hum. A first year, yes?"
Spencer nodded.
"You just seem oddly mature for your young age" Luna said breezily.
Spencer's eye twitched. She hated being reminded that she was young. Her sister, Melissa (who was, by the way, Head Girl), seemed to notice her annoyance at the reference of her age, and teased her for it relentlessly.
"That's how I was raised," Spencer said, more to herself.
That's when Spencer noticed Luna wearing shoes in bed.
"Luna…why are you wearing shoes to bed?" Spencer wondered.
"Oh, you see, the girls in my year often have fun at my expense. Many a time I've lost my shoes because of their pranks. I don't mind, though, gives me reason to wear my favourite shoes more." Luna replied.
"Oh. I'm sorry, Luna"
Luna shrugged.
"It would be wise for you go back to sleep, Spencer Hastings, if you are late to potions, Professor Snape will not take your punishment lightly."
"Thank you for the tip Luna, goodnight."
With that, Spencer fell back asleep.
"She's awfully nice for being Melissa's sister", Luna mused.
Gryffindor Dorm
An alarm went off and woke Aria up.
"Morning!" A redheaded girl said brightly.
"H-hi" Aria replied, trying to wake up.
"SO. I'm Ginny, this is Hermione" said Ginny, while pointing to a girl with bushy hair behind her.
Ginny had long, flowing ginger hair. She had freckles along her neck, and arms. Hermione, the girl behind Ginny, had brown, shoulder-length bushy hair, and a kind smile with brown eyes.
"I'm Aria."
"Seems like you were the only first year girl sorted into Gryffindor this year." Hermione said.
"Oh. Is that bad?" Aria wondered. Who was she to hang around in the common room, if there were no other first years? At least she had Noel…
"No, not bad at all. Means you're special." Ginny said, with a wink.
"Ginny and I would like to know if you want to have breakfast with us? We could show you your classes," Hermione said.
Aria smiled, "That'd be lovely, thank you!"
The two girls nodded.
"Better get ready, meet us in the common room in 20." Ginny said.
Aria sighed. Maybe she would have fun here without any other first year girls. She didn't need her best friends with her to have a good time, she was determined to find her own way to fit in.
Hufflepuff Dorm
"So what do you think class is going to be like?" Asked Emily.
The two girls didn't get much sleep last night; they were too busy talking to each other, wondering what their first day of school would hold.
"I don't know. All I'm hoping for is to survive potions with Snape" Hanna replied, "I heard he is like, the worst."
"Hanna. You can't judge people like that!" Emily exclaimed.
"Oh hush Em, I'm only joking."
"Whatever, I promised Spencer we'd meet her this morning for breakfast." Emily said.
"Ok, but can it just be me, you and Spence?" said Hanna, "I don't want Alison to ruin my morning by making fun of how much I eat."
"Well us three and Aria then, I suppose." Emily replied, like Hanna she didn't necessarily want to have Alison make fun of her either.
"Let's put on our uniforms" Emily finished.
Hanna groaned.
"What now Hanna?"
"Emily you know I don't look good in yellow."
"Hanna. It's a black robe with yellow trimming; it is in no way mustard yellow. Leave it." Emily said, bored.
Slytherin Dorm
Walking around the common room, Alison took a book from the shelf, sat on the couch and began to read.
"You plan on joining us for breakfast?" A voice interrupted. It was Draco.
Alison smirked. "Sure. I have nothing better to do, right?"
Draco sneered. "Unless you'd rather hang around your other friends. What, the Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and two Hufflepuff's?"
"They won't miss me" Alison responded simply.
"Draco!" A high voice shrieked. Draco groaned. Alison laughed.
"Got a girlfriend, Malfoy?" Alison joked.
They were joined by a group of 4. A girl with short black hair, wearing too much make up, and wearing her skirt too high on her hips. A large boy whose face resembled a ball. Another boy, who was taller, and looked like a body guard. And lastly, a tall skinny boy, who looked like he could care less. Draco stood out amongst these people, Alison thought, what with his blonde hair, blue eyes and muscular arms.
"Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise, this is Alison" Draco said.
"Why is she here?" Pansy said rudely, "I thought I was the only girl in our little group?" She finished while twirling Draco's hair.
Draco shrugged her off.
"Oh, you are a girl then? Sorry, love, couldn't tell" Alison said.
Blaise, Draco, Crabbe and Goyle laughed.
"Well I never!" Pansy replied. "You have a sharp tongue, little girl".
"I keep it sharp for people like you" Alison replied, bored. She flipped a page of her book.
Pansy stormed off.
"You will be joining us for breakfast, then, right Alison?" Blaise asked.
Alison smirked. "I like these people", she thought, "Except for that pathetic excuse of a girl".
