Luna's POV
Wow. I cannot believe what just happen. We just got a new best friend and she's Grace Livingstick. Best Day Ever. She's really nice. I had my fingers cross for he to say yes. Hmm. I wonder if she knows about Nargles.
"Grace, do you know about Nargles?" I asked.
She looked at me with a questioning look, but Hermione and Isa had horrified looks. What did I just do! She'll probably think I'm crazy and call me loony. Ugh. Idiot!
I looked down and waited for the insults.
They never came. I looked up at Grace.
She had an amused/interested look and said," What are Nargles? I've never heard of that before, but I'd like to know; they seem interesting."
My mood was suddenly lifted and I explained what Nargles are. When I finished explaining she still seemed interested.
"You're a bit weird, but a good weird," she said with a smile.
I returned the smile.
Isa's POV
Wow, Grace didn't insult Luna. She actually looks interested and it kind of looked like she respected Luna's belief in imaginary creatures. She is totally the opposite of what I expect. I still can't bel—is everyone staring at us?
I looked up and the other three followed my eyes. The Great Hall was silent and all eyes were staring at us, even the teachers and Dumbledore.
I sign language Hermione, Luna, and Grace,' Why is everyone staring at us?'
Grace just shrugged and looked unfazed by the attention, but Hermione and Luna had nervous expressions.
"They're probably staring because I'm with you guys," Grace said nonchalantly.
"Do you always get stared at, though?" asked Hermione.
"Believe me when I say, this is the least amount of people that has ever stared at me, trust me," replid Grace with a sigh.
"I don't think I could handle that amount of people staring at me occasionally," said Luna.
Grace just shrugged and said," You get used to it, but it does get annoying."
She gave the crowd an icy glare and the students and teachers went back to what they were doing.
Grace's POV
Ugh. Why do people have to stare? And to think I was just having a great time with my new BEST FRIENDS. Hmm. I'm used to it, but I think my new best friends are a bit nervous with the crowd's stares. I gave the crowd an icy glare and they completely went back to what they were doing.
"Sorry about the stares, guys. I know it could be a bit unnerving, but you'll get used to it. The only problem is it just gets more annoying," I said with a sigh of frustration.
"It's alright," said Hermione.
Luna shrugged and gave me a smile.
Isa signed,' No problem.'
I laughed and they laughed along with me.
"Hey, Hermione what dorm are you in?" I asked Hermione.
"I'm with Luna and Isa, I don't like to live in a place where I'm not wanted and will probably be ignored," replied Hermione.
I gave her a small smile, but then I realized what she said. What did she mean by live with Luna and Isa? Aren't they in Ravenclaw? Does she live with them in Ravenclaw?
"What do mean you live with them? Don't you live in Gryffindor Tower?" I asked.
"I mean we all live together, in the Room of Requirement. It's actually better than any dorm or common room, anyway. Speaking of which, we should ask Dumbledore." She replied.
Now, I was really confused. Ask Dumbledore what?
"Ask Dumbledore what?" I asked with a confused expression.
"For you to live with us, of course. Best friends stick together." Luna replied with a smile.
I was beyond happy. I was happy!
"Well, then, let's go." I said excitedly. I hope he approves!
We left the Ravenclaw table and the food magically disappeared. Hmm. Guess we took a long time talking. Whatever.
The girls are leading me to Dumbledore's office. I hope he approves our request!
Outside of Dumbledore's Office (Still Grace's POV)
We stopped in front of a gargoyle.
Hermione thought for a moment and said," Lemon drops."
I had a questioning look and look at the other two.
Luna said," Dumbledore likes to make his password names of candies. He changes them every once in a while. I think the Wackspurts makes his head fuzzy."
Isa nodded until the Wackspurts part and started shaking her head.
I just nodded and smiled at Luna.
No one's POV
The Gargoyle jumped out its place and the four girls made their to Dumbledore's office. Once they got there Hermione knocked on the doors. They heard a, 'Come in,' and the four girls quickly obliged.
"Ah, girls. How may I be of help?" asked Dumbledore with a knowing twinkle in his eye. He sounded almost as if he were expecting them.
"Well, Professor Dumbledore, remember when you let me, Isa, and Luna use the Room of Requirement as our dorm and common room?" Dumbledore nodded," Well, we were wondering if Grace can live with us as well, if it's alright with you of course. So, can she?" asked Hermione.
Hermione, Grace, Luna, and Isa were crossing their fingers and looking at Dumbledore with hopeful eyes while he thought it through.
He smiled at the hopeful girls and with a hearty laugh said," Why, I think that would be a wonderful idea! We'll have your belongings moved to your new dorm, Ms. Livingstick, right away."
The four girls were hugging each other and saying "Yes!", "Thank, Merlin!", "Thank you, Professor!", and a sign language of "Woo-hoo!"
Outside of the Room of Requirement
Grace's POV
Luna paced three times in front of a wall, but then a big door appeared out of nowhere.
I had another confused expression, while the other three had faces full of excitement.
Luna opened the door and we all stepped inside.
I was at loss for words except, OMG!
I was just gaping at the room before me.
It had a huge living room with a big flat screen tv, a Wii station, a karaoke set, there were three bean bags (red, blue, and pink), a big, comfy looking black couch, and a media center. We also had a kitchen! A KITCHEN! It was modern style kind of kitchen with a mixture of red, gold, blue, and bronze. Actually looked really nice. I saw four doors; they each had mine and the girls' name. The room probably created mine when we got Dumbledore's approval. I couldn't wait to see my room.
I took my first steps into my new home. It felt great!
The girls were just smiling excitedly at me. Then, I went over to MY bedroom. The door was purple; my favorite color. I turned the knob and when I opened the door, I screamed.
I didn't scream out of fear. Hell no.
I scream out of pure happiness!
My room was purple with a mixture of white, silver, and a bit of pink. I had a flat screen in my room, a walk-in closet, a full-length mirror, a round swing/chair that hanged from the roof, a desk, and my own bathroom!
I went back to the girls. Jaw slightly open. Okay, that was a lie. I bet if I hang my mouth any further it'll reach the ground.
"Well?" asked a smiling Hermione.
I looked at all three of them and pulled them into a hug. "You guys are the best! Thank you for letting me live with you! Thank you for becoming my best friends! I love you guys!" I shouted out with all the joy I could bring out.
"We love you, too." Said Hermione and Luna, while Isa signed.
I have a good feeling that this will be a memorable year.
