SWWAF: Sorry! I was always going to let somebody down with the house selection. I kind of wanted Rory to think that he's this Hufflepuff loser and Ron is this heroic Gryffindor for the next few chapters at least, so there can be a bit (or a lot) of jealously flowing, which was my main reason for choosing Hufflepuff over Ravenclaw. +Yes, the Parallels will tend to be from the movie just because I'm lazy and it's easier to check the quotes/scene online. But not every detail will match up with the movies either. Sorry for any confusion!

Thanks for all the reviews, keep them coming :D

Amy adjusted her Gryffindor tie, looking in the mirror. Red really was her colour. She smiled happily to herself as she slipped into her quirky brogues and left the dormitory. Her stomach was craving food, she deliberately didn't eat much in front of the boys last night, she wanted to make a well mannered impression. Ron, however, did not show the same concern when it came to feasting. The common room was surprisingly empty, there was a few older students around, but no sign of any first years. All but one. "Good Morning Amy!" Yelled Hermione, folding up her Daily Prophet and placing it on the table. Girl, I'm right next to you, you don't need to shout. She sighed and replied "Ugh, hi...Hermione. Have you seen Ron or Harry around?" Hermione shook her head over enthusiastically. "Although, I wouldn't be surprised if Ron went down to breakfast early. He likes to eat...have you noticed?" Was she suppose to laugh at that, was it a joke? Amy had forgotten what it was like to be with such infuriating company, she normally kept to herself at home. "Well...um thanks. I'll go down there now." With that she swiftly tried to leave the common room, well, she was practically running away from Hermione, but it was too late. "I haven't eaten either! I was waiting for one of my classmates to have breakfast with. I'll come with you." There really was no shaking this girl off. The two left Gryffindor tower together and made their way down to the Great Hall.

Rory was slurping his pumpkin juice when he noticed the two girls enter. He could tell from Amy's body language she didn't want to be near the other girl. Maybe he should go and talk to her, she would probably be grateful more than anything. That was of course, if she still liked him, and wasn't too caught up in her little Gryffindor posse. The Gryffindor table was fairly empty of first years, no sign of Ron anyway, thank god. He emptied his cup and approached her. He saw Amy stuffing her face with anything she could grab, bacon, toast beans, or all three at once. She had no care of the funny looks from the other tables. Hell, Rory though it was cute, he didn't like people who starve themselves anyway. He exhaled strongly, readjusting his Hufflepuff robe. Then he made his way over to her table. "H-hey...A-amy." Gosh, he was so nervous. What if she didn't want to know? The girl finished her mouthful before turning round. "What do you-Oh! God...sorry...-" She answered, referring to the state of her face, it was covered with sauce and she had toast crumbs all over her. After cleaning herself up, she tried again. "Hey Rory, what's up?" What's up? Did she think he had a specific reason to talk to her? Think Rory...think...anything will do. "I just wanted you to know..." Amy was smiling back at him, waiting for him to finish his sentence. "I-I-think-" Rory you're being awkward, just say something. "I-I think you look cute when you eat." You complete idiot. She raised an eyebrow, before laughing. "Oh shutup moron." She had thought that he was making fun of her. He awkwardly chuckled, pretending he wasn't serious. Amy signalled for him to sit down next to her. "Please, don't just stand there awkwardly, you look like more of a doofus."
"Am, am I allowed on your table?"
"You might get sent to Azkaban, but I'm prepared to take that risk," She joked.
He did as he was told, and sat down next to her. "Well, I'm honoured." Honoured? Seriously Rory, keep this up and this girl is going to think you're like, in love with her or something. "-You um, you know what Azkaban is?" He asked, trying to regain what was left of his pride.
"Oh right, yes, someone was telling me because I-Hello!" She was stopped by Ron and Harry arriving at the table. They both smiled back at her.
"Budge up mate." Ron asked to Rory. Budge up? Budge up? How about no.
"I'm sort of in the middle of a conversation with Amy, actually." That's it Rory, show you will take no prisoners. Nobody pushes you around.
"Dude, you're a Hufflepuff, you're not even meant to be here. Let me sit next to her so I can eat." Rory shuffled himself up closer to Amy.
"See? There's room for you on this side." He smiled at him, patronisingly.
"What's your problem?" Asked Ron, getting more angry. He got angry when he was hungry.
"My problem is that I was talking to Amy and-"
Amy stood up and stepped away from the table. She threw her napkin down onto her plate. "There. There's room for both of you. I was finished anyway." She lied, clearly annoyed. Rory shot up after her. "Rory, I don't want to hear it. See you guys in potions." With that she stormed off, Rory didn't dare to follow her. Ron was giving him a death glare, was it his fault?

30 minutes. Half an hour until their first lesson, Potions. He had known this girl for less than 24 hours and had already managed to make her mad. Unless she was mad at Ron too...no of course she wasn't. All he wanted to do was apologise but he didn't know if it was too early, or even too late. He sighed, unsure of what to do. Maybe he should just leave her, she was clearly into Ron, there was no way she'd ever choose him over that stupid ginger.
No, no he couldn't. He liked this girl, they were...friends. He had to do something to put things right. Nothing too extravagant, he didn't want to scare her off. He just wanted Amy to know his heart was still in the right place. Suddenly he had an idea.

His trunk was still half packed but he managed to find what he was looking for. Hogwarts, A History and Quidditch Through The Ages. He quickly tared out the first pages where his name was carefully inked on. It's worth a shot he thought. Besides, he had no better ideas.

Sorry, this chapter was a bit flaky, I'll try to make up for it next chapter hopefully with Amy/Rory fluff.
Hope you're still enjoying it though!
