Where's Lily when you need her?
Ok Guys, Chapter 4! I've had 5 reviews so far(I replied to yours through reviews so 2 are me) I already knew what subject I wanted Niamh to be good in, just wanted to see what you thought. Also, Niamh's middle name is going to be Alexis(Thanks to PeaceLoveSiriusBlack) but I am going to use one of LOSTclaire-charlieLOST's back stories. Her birthday is the 5th of December. I also realise that I haven't been doing a disclaimer(Unfortunately, I am not a rich person who's last name starts with R and ends with OWLING, and I therefore don't own the book.). Also, I'll try to make the chapters longer.
I flinched when Tahlia walked by, something I'm sure Lily noticed. She'd hopefully not question me here and now. I willed Tahlia not to be in Gryffindor. Pleeeeeeaaaaassssseeee let her be in Slytherin. I watched her talking with the hat, and I hoped that he saw her bullying me in her memories. God, just make the damn decision, please!
'SLYTHERIN'
YAY! SHE GOT PUT IN THE HOUSE FULL OF NASTY PEOPLE! WAHEEEEEEEEY! LET US EAT CAKE, I SAY!
After that, a gorgeous spread of food appeared on our table. Some of the boys looked like they had just been told it's going to be Christmas everyday! Actually, the girls too.
'My mum and dad are going to kill me,' The handsome boy said offhandishly, 'But I'm not fussed, really. The more I annoy them the better. I hate them.'
'How can you hate your parents?' I asked
He rolled his eyes, 'I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.'
Oh what the hell?
I raised an eyebrow, 'Seriously?'
'OY! Enough with the name jokes!' He cried
'Well I don't even know your name. Care to tell us?' I don't like him that much, actually. He's kind of rude.
'Sirius Orion Black. You?' Ah. Get it now.
'Niamh Alexis Gallagher.' A few people looked at me with wide eyes. What the bloody hell is going on here?
'Gallagher?' Black asked, 'Like, you're Martin Gallagher's daughter?'
'Yeah. Why do you ask?' Dundunduuuuuunn. Moment of suspense!
'You don't know?' He raised an eyebrow(AN: I am the only person I know who can't do that. Life sucks)
'Nimmy!' Lily called, 'Come over here! I'm bored!' Beh. I was about to find out about my father! All I know is he was away for lots of the time in the war, and Died in Action. My mum had worked in the navy and met him there. How did all these people know so much when I knew so little? Stumps me, I tell you.
I sat down next to Lily and she pointed an accusing finger at the messy haired boy, 'Potter is being creepy!' I looked at him and he grinned.
'Sorry, Lily-Flower' He said, and started to talk to Black about... Quidditch? What the bloody hell is that?
Oops. I think I said that out loud. Black and Potter looked disbelieving.
'Quidditch is the most sport EVER!' They said together.
'You play it on broomsticks...'
'...There are three balls...'
'...The snitch, the quaffle and 2 bludgers. So 4 balls, really...'
'...There are 4 positions...'
'...Keeper, Chaser, Beater and Seeker...'
'OK!' I said raising my hands in the air, 'I get it now! Quidditch is THE BEST sport in the world!'
'We've trained you well, Gallagher, we've trained you well.' Potter declared.
'Come on Niamh! I'm tired. Let's go upstairs,' I nodded and trooped up the sthairs. I nearly fell of one, it caught me by surprise when it moved.
'HE GOT PUT I
Ah! How do you walk if the ground underneath you is moving, eh? Tell me Lillian, how?' I cried It was weird. I didn't have to do anything to make friends or talk to other people. I just acted myself.
'I don't know, Nimmy! Isn't life so straannnggeee here? Alas, We are now lost!' Lily said dramatically. We sort of became good friends after our 'The adventure of the stairs' as we liked to call it.
Finally, we found a prefect who led us to Gryffindor Tower. All of our stuff was already there.
'COCO!' I squealed excitedly, running over to my beloved owl.
'You've got an owl? COOL! Let me see!' She petted Coco affectionately, 'She is lovely!'
10 minutes later, 3 other girls walked in. They introduced themselves as Marlene, Mary and Alice.
And tomorrow, we started classes. I hope I won't be bottom. Gah, I'm tired. I thing I should probably try to get to sl-
Zzz.
