"So what?" Rose moaned as she got out of bed. "You have, like, four pairs."
"But these are the ones that have the piece of the hat in them!" Daphne cried.
"I'm sure you just misplaced them." Rose pulled on her robes " now lets go get Albus and then go eat."
They hurried down to the common room, where they met up with Albus. As they ran up the stairs to the Great Hall, they bumped into a girl who was clutching the railings. Albus went over to her.
"Hi." He said. Albus was always trying to be everyone's friend. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah..." The girl whispered " just sc-sc-scared of heights"
"It's okay!" Daphne ran over to the girl, pulling Rose with her. "I'm Daphne!" She announced, rather loudly, in the shy girl's face. "What's your name?" She bounced up and down, clutching Albus's arm.
The girl looked, to Albus, who nodded encouragingly. " Dana..." She muttered.
"C'mon, then Dana!" Daphne grabbed her and pulled her up the stairs, Dana shrieking in fright, "Breakfast ain't gonna last forever!"
Rose sighed and followed her cousin and friend up the stairs. She knew how this girl, Dana was it?, felt. She too felt somewhat intimidated by Daphne at first. And she still kind of did. But she was getting used to her excitement and obsessive usage of exclamation marks. Rose thought about Dana's name. She was pretty sure she remembered she had been sorted into Gryffindor the night before, but she wasn't sure. Why would Dana be in Gryffindor if she had a fear of heights? Then again, the sorting hat wasn't really at its best that night... Rose ended her thought process as they entered the Great Hall. She confirmed her beliefs as Dana waved to Albus and shuffled over to the Gyffindor table.
As soon as Daphne had noticed her robes were missing, she had had a suspicious feeling. She was just thinking it had something to do with the sorting hat piece she had stuffed in her pocket. She was mulling this over when she heard a boy at the Hufflepuff table telling his friends how he had lost his robes from last night. Daphne ran over and tapped the boy on the shoulder. Scorpius turned around.
"What?!" He snapped as he spun around. A prefect sitting next to him gave him a reproachful look. "It's you."
"I heard you saying you lost your robes last night"
"What's it to you?"
"I lost my robes too!"
"Whoop de doo!" Scorpius said sarcastically.
"Did you happen to have a piece of the sorting hat in your pocket?"
"So what?"
"Well..." Daphne was about to continue when she heard a familiar shriek from across the room. When she looked up, Dana was being held in the air by a mix match of black fabric pieces. The sorting hat had come back.
Authors note: sorry for the shirt chapter and the delay. I assume by now you have figured out where scorpius' and Daphne's robes have gone. If not, you will find out soon! I want to thank Lilly for a cool character idea. It really helped me with the plot! I do not own Harry Potter.
