Hey! Got another chapter for you! Please review.
"Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff!"
Everybody looked stunned. Even Jenna did, and she didn't even know how serious this could end up. She didn't understand what had just happened, she just understood that it wasn't right.
This had never happened before.
It shouldn't happen.
She had been placed in three houses.
She was a fellow Gryffindor, but she was also a Hufflepuff and a Ravenclaw.
Dumbledore even looked stunned, but he quickly shook it of. He walked towards McGonagall and whispered something to her, before she walked to Jenna.
She seemed to talk to both Jenna and the Hat, and eventually she took the Hat of Jenna's head. She waited a couple of slow seconds, before placing it on her head again.
Again it took couple of long minuets, with the Hat's muttering being the only noise. Suddenly, the Hat yelled again. "Guess it'll be...Hufflepuff!"
We all began to cheer, and Jenna stood up. She walked with hesitating steps to her table, looking really scared. She sat down at the table, being greeted by her new house.
Well, I guess she was placed right. The Hufflepuffs were the house of kindness, just like Gryffindor were the brave ones. She was definitely kind.
I couldn't help but wonder, though. The Hat had also shouted Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, so she must be brave and smart, too.
One thing made me smile widely - causing an odd stare from Seamus - was that the Hat hadn't voted for Slytherin, so she couldn't be evil, or a person of dark thoughts.
Everything with her was positive. She was kind, a good friend, and most likely brave and smart. She seemed like a perfect girl, hadn't it been for the fact that she was so insecure about herselves.
I can't blame her for that. How can it possibly feel good to start school to late, and with an introduction in front of the whole school by Dumbledore himself, not even knowing what to do? She hardly knew where she was, and she didn't know anybody except for us, but only barely.
Dumbledore held his speech, but it didn't look as great as usual. He looked a little disturbed, and tense.
I have to admit that it scared me, and it looked like it frightened a few other of the listening students. Dumbledore was usually so relaxed, like he knew every move the world would make.
Not any more.
He almost looked...
I gasped.
...scared.
One thought never leaved me. It bugged me like crazy, holding on to my brain with razor sharp claws.
Why on earth had she been placed in three houses, before the Hat had made her a badger?
Yeah, the race of happiness was officially canceled.
We ate a lot than evening, making it hard to sleep. It was past midnight, and I - unfortunately - hadn't managed to close my heavy eyeslids at all. Not even one second they let me doze off into the world of fantasy.
I heard Seamus snoring, and Neville apperantly had a bad dream. I had to wake him three times, but he still managed to come up with nightmares.
Ron was muttering something about strawberries and his mom, while Dean sleept relatively still.
Why was I still awake? Even bad dreams are better than lying in my bed without sleep all night.
I don't know why, but I was worried about Jenna. I guess that was the topic that didn't let me fall into sweet dreams.
It just all seemed to weird. Firstly, she started when she was fourteen. Secondly, she originally got put in three different houses.
It didn't make any sense.
Well, actually, nothing in this world really made much sense.
It looked like I had found sleep after all, because when I opened my eyes the sunlight peeked through the red curtains in our dorm. I sat up from my bed lazily, and stretched my stiff muscles.
Wish I had slept more.
I quickly discovered that Ron's bed didn't contain any red headed figure, so I guessed he was already up and in the common room. He wasn't usually a morning person, so it made me a little uneasy.
I dressed in a hurry, putting my school robes on backwards before getting it right. I tried to ignore Seamus' snores, but they eventually annoyed me to death. I managed to get ready and walk out of our dorm without throwing a pillow at him, but trust me, I badly wanted to.
I ran down the stone steps, almost tripping several times. Luckily I managed to enter the common room without any bruises or scratches covering my skin.
The common room was almost empty, except for a few students. Odd enough, Hermione wasn't there. She usually was one of the first to wake up, and dig her nose into a book.
But she wasn't there.
After a few seconds I saw the freckled boy, sitting by the fireplace. He was bent over his wizards chess set, drying dust of the King. Funny enough, the King tried to stab Ron in his thumb, causing Ron to mutter some very bad words to the struggling King.
"Already up?" I asked, laughing when Ron's head snapped up. He dropped the swearing King on the floor, and the King didn't get happy when he discovered a crack in his crown.
"Yeah, I couldn't sleep any more."
I understood that. The reason I had woken up this early was something similar to Ron's, I couldn't sleep any more. Even though my eyelids were extremely heavy, they refused to close again. The same thing had happened when I tried to sleep last night.
It was just a feeling, a scary feeling. I think I woke up because of that stupid feeling in my stomach, it made me feel uneasy. Like if something wasn't right.
"Let me guess, is an unpleasant feeling haunting you?" I asked, knowing what the answer would be. I felt a sudden urge to grab my wand.
Ron looked surprised. "How did you know?"
"I have my sources," I told him, not wanting to tell him the truth. It would just make him stressed, something I really didn't need right now.
Suddenly I remembered something. "Have you seen Hermione?"
The feeling just multiplied, getting worse.
Ron's eyes widened. Again with the face I didn't know what ment.
"No, and my feeling says something is really wrong."
"Terribly wrong," I agreed.
That is it for now, but more will be up soon. Probably tomorrow.
Please review.
Love, Riverflower.
