A/n: I really cannot resist writing for this story so much, which is a lot compared to how much I update my other stories. Yikes. Anywho I hope you guys continue to read and enjoy my story and remember if you have any suggestions at all then let me know! I also know that it's a bit boring so far but it'll get into the really fun stuff soon, so just bear with it for a little while longer!
Once the train had fully stopped at the castle, hundreds of students piled out of the carts. Many first years stood around in wonder and confusion, none really knowing what to do. The rest of the older students headed towards the magical carriages to be taken directly to the school. Rosemary looked around shortly before coming up on a small blonde.
"Eva! Hey Eva!" The brunette shouted towards the small blonde who looked around in confusion. Once she spotted the girl, a grin took over her face.
"Mary! I've missed you so much!" The two girls embraced, each holding on like it had been years since they had last seen each other, when in fact they had seen each other in the middle of summer. Bast had also come up and started snuggling against the blonde girls leg.
Eva was a bit on the shorter side only being about 5'2, which was a big difference to Rosemarys 5'7 height. Eva had short dark blonde hair that touched her shoulders lightly with her loose curls. The other girl was sorted into Hufflpuff, but Rosemary always said that she should have been put into Gryffindor because of how loudmouthed and sassy she was.
The small girl pulled away first before pulling her friend towards a carriage. There was a boy in there, who both girls, were pretty sure was a sixth year Gryffindor. They both ignored the boy, turning to each other laughing lightly for no reason whatsoever but neither caring, happy to be home. Bast had grown anxious looking at the maniacal sounding laugh her owner had, which caused Rosemary to rub behind her ears to help relax her. Eva then turned looking around with her lips pursed, and Rosemary knew who she was looking for. She sighed, having not been able to find their other friend either.
" I haven't seen Will either, that boy is probably already in a carriage up front so he can try to bother some poor upperclassmen girls," if there was anyone Rosemary knew was almost as cocky as Sirius Black it was William Rodgers.
The boy was always hitting on some older year girls stating that "why limit your options to just the girls in our year."
"Well he better not expect any bloody welcomes when he comes crawling back to us after being rejected. Again," she giggled at that, losing the intimadating look she had just seconds ago.
Both girls began catching back up as the carriages finally began moving towards the castle. Once both girls had fully caught up with what had happened over each of their summers, Rosemary had remembered what had happened just today with the train. She began telling her best friend the story, amused as she watched her friends jaw dropped multiple times throughout the story. To her though it wasn't that big of a deal. Was it? The look on Eva's face told her that is was.
"So you got to spend the whole time on the train with Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, and you don't think it's that big of a deal?!" The blonde looked like an owl with the way she was blinking disbelieving to the brunnete.
"No.. plus is wasn't the whole time," Rosemary had said, instantly regretting saying no.
"You do realize how many girls would kill to be in that position, myself included. I mean have you seen them? Plus are you even sure you want to get involved with them?" The girl shook her head with how stupid her friend could really be.
"Yeah yeah, well it's not like their suddenly about to snog me. I guarantee that they've already forgotten about me by now," the ravenclaw girl said waving away the fumes that were emitting from her best friend, " And sitting next someone once doesn't mean I'm 'getting involved with them."
"Rosemary with your luck, I will never know," the brunette didn't know wether to take it as an insult or complement. She thought her luck was pretty good, most of the time. Well sometimes.
"Well how about this, I throw you in front of me if they ever approach me again, that way their attention will be on you not me," she said looking pleased with herself.
"Mary you are such an idiot sometimes, like really dumb." Eva said knowing the exact phrase to get a good reaction out of her friend.
"Hey! That's like the worst thing you could ever say to a Ravenclaw!" The girl pouted, she already felt insecure about being put in the house because nobody ever believed that she was actually one.
"Should 've been in Gryffindor," they always said, even her own father.
Rosemary was determined to show how intelligent and witty she could really be. One of her plans was to do it through quidditch, she knew that Ravenclaws played with a mapped out strategy and if she helped contribute to them winning it, then it might be easier to prove her worth to her house. Plus she would get to do something she loved at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone. Of course she had to make it through try outs and she heard they were brutal, not only did they force you to build your body physically, you also had to be quick thinking and have proper reactions to anything that goes wrong.
"You know I don't mean it that way, your just a bit oblivious when it comes to things like boys," Eva smiled apologetically.
"Yes well they arnt always my top priority," she huffed but she shot a smile to the blonde letting her know she wasn't actually mad.
They chatted on until the reached Hogwarts, and left to join their fellow housemates. The introduction was not as short as many wished but it was a nice little speech to prepare the new first years. They sorting began as usually with each new student sitting infront of the school and having the sorting hat placed on their head. Rosemary made sure to cheer loudly and smile eagerly to each student that was sorted into Ravenclaw. Many of them returned her grin, relaxing after realizing they found a place in this big school to belong.
Once dinner had ended, Rosemary had finally found Will running straight up to him, Bast lazily coming up behind, used to her owners crazy antics. She laughed at the shocked look he gave her until he finally figured out who it was and returned her hug. Will was tall with sandy blonde hair and had small blue eyes that closed when he smiled. He wasn't the most muscly guy in the school but he did have a well fitted body that many of the younger girls found, oh so attractive. None of them was brave enough to approach him to much because of some of the deadly looks Eva sent them. It was pretty well known that Eva liked the lad, except him of course. Rosemary was pretty sure he felt the same way but was to thick in the head to even know it himself.
"Will! Where the bloody hell have you been? Eva and I have been looking for you! To which she's not really happy with at the moment," the brunette sighed letting go of the boy.
"That's not all that important, but I had looked for you guys too and wasn't able to find either of you. I sure hope the Eva has lost a bit of her temper with me since last year, my arms are still sore from all her abuse," he whined.
"Oh man up and go find her before she doesn't talk to you again, like that time she found out you had left us waiting for you at the black lake while you were snogging some 4th year," Rosemary cringed remembering that day.
"Yeah I'll go find her, that was the worst. Are you coming?" He looked at the girl pleading.
"Sorry I can't, I've actually got to go give something to professor Flitilwick about me trying out for the quidditch team, plus I'm not allowed in the hufflpuff common room." Rosemary smiled," Don't worry, you've got this!" The girl picked up her cat running away.
