Chapter 4: My New Room
XXxx Time jump back at Hogwarts xxXX
"ROSE!" bellowed Dominique, making me shoot upright, wide awake.
"What do you want?" I asked, throwing off my duvet and shivering at the cold.
"We need to get to breakfast, so hurry up I'm starving!" At these words I opened the small drawers next to my bed and found that my tie was missing.
"Dom!" I yelled "Come here!" she rushed into the dormitory looking alert and then disappointed as she saw I was only half dressed.
"What?"
"Where is my tie?" I asked
"Here, I wanted you to forget it like you always do after a school holiday." She said reluctantly, pulling my tie out of her bag. I snatched it out of her hands, drew the curtains around my bed and continued getting dressed. I emerged from my bed a few minuets later, fully dressed and swinging my bag onto my shoulder. "I hope there are pancakes" I said as we left Gryffindor tower, our stomachs growling.
Sure enough, when we arrived in the great hall, the smell of pancakes wafted around. When we sat down, we both grabbed a fork and began piling pancakes onto a plate and pouring golden syrup over them, when Lily spoke up "Hagrid is back." Automatically me, Dom and Alice glanced toward the teacher table and saw that Hagrid was indeed back from his honeymoon with Madame Maxine.
"Remind me to congratulate him in Care Of Magical Creatures." I said to Dom who scribbled it onto a piece of parchment and tucked inside one of the inner pockets of the robes.
"Awww." Said Dom and I mirrored her response when breakfast vanished from the table and Professor McGonagall stepped up to the podium.
"7th years stay behind please. We need to discuss certain things." I glanced over at Dom, we both new what this was about.
"We have built new quarters in Hogwarts to accommodate the couples here." McGonagall announced, looking grim "Look, I don't like this anymore than you do. I would rather you be free to choose whatever love live you would like, but because of the Ministry Of Magic, that will not happen." She sighed "Anyway, you and your partner will share a small common room with two other couples; you will each have a room with an en suit bathroom. You may visit your house common room whenever you wish but it is advised for you to say in your own confined spaces, all common rooms are located on the fourth floor on the west side of the castle.. That is all for today, you will need to return to your house common room to collect your stuff and take it over to your new room. I trust you can all do a simple levitation charm. Goodnight." McGonagall finished her speech, sighed and walked of the podium.
"Well, we better have a look at these new rooms in a bit then, after packing obviously." Said Dom as we walked toward Gryffindor tower.
"Murtlap" I said to the Fat Lady and she swung forward and we climbed through the portrait hole. The common room was empty apart from some third years scoffing Honeydukes sweets in the corner. We climbed the stairs to the girl dormitories.
"Well, we didn't know but last night, was the last night we would sleep in this bed." Dom said, sadly. Once our trunks we enchanted them with a levitating charm and flew them down to the 4th floor.
"Wait which ways west?" I asked Dom. She shrugged.
"This way!" called a voice from behind me. I whirled around and my face broke into a wide smile.
"Albus!" I yelled running toward him, hugging him. My trunk seemed to be lost in the air, so I flicked my wand and it set itself down carefully.
"Hey Al!" called Dom from the other side of the corridor.
"Hey!" Albus called back and then turned toward me and beckoned to Dom. "Our rooms are over here" he said once Dom had joined and he pointed to a golden plaque above a darkened oak door.
"Well, should we go in then?" I asked, breathing heavily
"Sure." Dom said and she opened the door. The door lead into a wide hallway that had about fifty doors leading off of it, each with a shining golden plaque with six names engraved onto each plaque. We all started examining these plaques, trying to figure out which one lead into our common room. Finally I found a golden plaque that said:
Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy
Alice Longbottom and Albus Potter
Dominique Weasley and Lysander Scamander
"Guys! Guys! I found ours!" I called down the hallway, immediately Dom and Albus rushed to me
"Let's go in!" said Dom excitedly, opening the door. The room looked very inviting. There were two loveseats and two plush armchairs, a fire was crackling merrily. The floor was wooden and had a huge beige rug in the middle of the room. There were three polished oak doors with, yet again, with golden plaques with our names on.
"Well at least we're all in the same common room." Said Dom, heading toward the door with her and Lysander's name above it.
"I'm gonna check out my room." She said, pushing her door open, the door swinging closed behind her.
"I'm gonna check mine out as well." I said to Albus and he nodded, heading toward his own room. I opened the door and looked around. The walls were a cream colour with large paintings of the Gryffindor and Slytherin house crests on the wall. There was a large king-size bed, the bed sheets were a bright white with the Hogwarts crest sewn in to it. There were two mahogany desks with those swivel chairs muggle's had in their houses, at the foot of the bed was a large chest, used for keeping anything spare. A wardrobe and dresser stood against the wall, a mirror was magically glued to the wall and a door that lead into the bathroom was opposite the bed. The door swung open suddenly and stood in the doorway, was him.
This chapter took me SOOO long to write. As you can see it is much longer than any of my others.
Hope y'all are enjoying
