A/N: Hey! I've finally found time to type up the chapter! Its a filler I guess. And Lilly, I kind of have my own ideas of where the story should go. Sorry.

Rose POV

It felt weird knowing that my best friend in the entire world would be in the complete opposite house to me. My family were obviously shocked at Albus' sorting, as were most of the school, to be perfectly honest. A Potter in Slytherin? That's unheard of. But he's still Al, no matter what house he's in. That's what I say to James, anyway. I guess he feels bad now about taunting him and teasing him all summer about the possibility of being sorted into Slytherin. When the feast was over, the new Gryffindors were escorted to the Fat Lady portrait, the entrance to Gryffindor Tower. The Head Girl, my cousin Victoire, told us to remember the password 'Caput Draconis', but to not share it with anyone from other houses.

We were taken into the red and gold coloured common room. There were loads of portraits lining the walls, a large notice board in one corner, a real fire and comfy armchairs. Also, a Wizard's Chess board was on one side of the room by the window. I loved it here already. We were allowed to look around for a few minutes before being taken to our respective dormitories.

In my particular dorm, it was Lola Robinson, Serena Clearwater, me, and that girl that Albus was staring at in the Sorting, Dana Mercer. Our belongings had already been transported here.

"Hi girls, I'm Lola, and this is my friend Serena."

"Uh, hi. I'm Dana and I'm the first Gryffindor in my family."

"Hi, I'm Rose and I've just been separated from my best friend since birth, my cousin Al."

"That's a shame." said Serena, smiling sadly. "Well, you have friends in us three now, as well. And anyway, no one is really bothered about House Rivalry anymore, are they?"

"Agreed." commented Lola.

"Yeah, us Gryffindor Girls will have to stick together, alright? No being mean, or spreading rumours about anyone in this room, or their family." said Dana.

"Heck yeah, girls!" I laughed.

The girls and I talked like that for a while longer, sat on our beds until we all drifted to sleep.

A/N These chapters are getting progressively smaller, aren't they? Well. Do you like the short chapters, or should I work to make them longer?
