Anjli trudged sleepily after Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny, who were leading her to the Gryffindor Common Room. She me the Fat lady and learned the new password. All five of the students dropped heavily down onto the couch in front of the fire, Ron making sure he was next to Anjli.
"I'm so tired," she groaned, snuggling up against Ron like she had in the carriage.
"Yea," replied Hermione. "I think I'll go up now. Good night Harry, night Ron. You two coming," She asked Anjli and Ginny.
"Yea night guys," Ginny replied.
"Uh huh sleep tight guys." Anjli smiled at both Harry and Ron before slowly making her way up to the girls' dormitories. Harry and Ron watched the girls disappear. Ron sighed softly.
"She's something special Harry."
"You've only known her for one day, how is it you've already fallen so hard for her?"
"I don't know. She's just so amazing. I mean look at her personality. She's so sweet and caring. She's always so hyper and bubbly it's adorable. She seems to have a horrible temper if you get her really mad though. I don't mind that if she takes it out on Malfoy." They both laughed at that.
"You think she likes you."
"I don't know. I hope so." Harry yawned loudly.
"Come on lets go to sleep. We have classes tomorrow." Ron nodded slightly, lost in his own daydreams of Anjli.
"This is where the fifth year girls sleep. My dormitory for the fourth years is up a flight of stairs," Ginny explained to Anjli.
"Thanks."
"So how did you like your first day at Hogwarts," Hermione asked.
"I had fun. I'm so glad I met you guys, really, but if you guys don't like me please tell me and don't pretend I don't want you guys to feel you have to." Hermione and Ginny both gave her astonished looks.
"How the hell did you get in into your head that we don't like you," Hermione questioned. "We had so much fun today dancing in the train. I mean you even got HARRY to dance! From now on the three of us are friends, ok?" Anjli smiled and nodded and Ginny nodded happily, agreeing with Hermione.
"Friends forever," Ginny said happily.
"Now,"" Hermione said, giving Anjli a sly look, "What do you think of Ron?"
"Ron?" Anjli gave Hermione a surprised look. "He's cool. Why do you ask"?
"Just the way you two were acting before. I think He likes you."
"Me?" she gave a hollow laugh. " No one ever likes me. I assure you Hermione, he doesn't like me."
"If you say so." Hermione didn't look as though she believed the girl.
"What do you mean no one likes you," Ginny asked curiously. Anjli sighed and a lost, pained look appeared on her face.
"I've been through a lot of heart breaks Ginny. Even if Ron did like me, I don't think I could stand another one. No offense to you brother of course Ginny, but it probably wouldn't work out and my heart wouldn't be strong enough to take it if it didn't." Ginny looked startled.
"What could have happened to make you so hurt?"
"In my old school I was a friend with this boy, Greg. I met him first because my friend liked him and they were on the verge of going out. He was incredibly hilarious and charming. He captured my heart and the hearts of my friends easily. We all got to be good friends and him and my friend finally went out, which I suppose hurt all of us. They broke up and got back together a couple of times and finally it ended. By that time I was madly in love with him but I wouldn't say it. He went out with two of my other friends that year also. It hurt terribly, but we were great friends still. The next year I was still in love with him. On the first day of December he asked me out and I was in heaven nearly. We didn't go anywhere because I was very shy and it was my first boyfriend. I didn't want to make the first move and he wasn't sure if I wanted to do anything. Finally I decided to make the first move. I tried to find him before I left for Christmas break but I couldn't and I didn't get a chance. He broke up with me in an email a couple days after break. I was hurt and still in love. Trying to get over him did nothing. He went out with my friend Kassie again, which now hurt terribly. After a bit we became friends again, although it took a while. He was going out with Kassie on and off for quite a while. He loved her and she hurt him badly quite a few times. We were a group the three of us, me being their best friends and they going out. I thought that was perfect. I remember quite clearly that Wednesday. Kassie was saying she might break up with Greg. I tried to help them work it out because I didn't want them to break up. I spent nearly five hours on the phone with Kassie and Greg, going back and forth. Finally they ended up just breaking up. Greg cried on the phone after that. Several weeks after Greg, my good friend Lily, and I went to go see a movie. You guys know what movies are? I'll explain later. Anyway, the Friday we went to go see the movie, my friend Lily came to my study so I could help her with her homework. She told me that Greg told her to bring a date to the movies. She asked him why and if we were going out and he said no, not yet. So now comes a conflict, destroy the friendship and go out with the guy I've fallen so deeply for or keep a most perfect friendship. I chose to destroy, which is what I did. We went to the movies and we had reallllly good time, except Lily who still refuses to go to the movies with us ever again. We met the next day at a party and then at school of course. This time it only lasted five days. I knew, after a while something was up with him. I figured he still like Kassie. I actually think I knew he did all along and just denied it. I wrote in a note because I needed to get it done with before I changed my mind and I didn't have time between classes to explain. I found him in the hallways and I told him that it won't work and gave him the note. I started crying and I ran away before he could see me cry too much. When I got into gym a lot of my friends obviously noticed I was crying. One of them was a good friend with Greg and she told me that of course he really liked me. I've always regretted that decision, even now. If I had just talked to him, it could have turned out different. We argued a lot over the rest of the year. He hurt me by being mad because he knew I could never stand having him mad at me. I remember the one time we really made up that made a big difference was at the mall. I was at my other friend, also named Lily's house and he invited her to the mall. She told him I was there and he said tell her to come too. So I managed to convince my mom to let me go and we became close again in just one night. That was also the night he asked out this girl Renee, a really slutty bitchy girl. He started being really mean to all his friends. He ditched us all and was incredibly rude. He's nicer now and after they broke up, but it still isn't the same as it was back then. I didn't get over him till the summer. I wrote him a huge email while I was in India telling him everything from sixth grade and how I felt. After that, I was over him and I was happier. I've had plenty of crushes after that but no boyfriend. I guess no one really matches up to him yet but soon hopefully I'll find someone." Anjli finished the story and the wistful, faraway look soon left her face. "Well that's enough story time. How bout we go to sleep, huh? I'll see you guys in the morning!" Her face brightened and returned to its cheerful state.
"Yeah, night," Ginny said slowly, a look of sympathy on her face. She slowly rose and quietly left the dorms.
"Night," Hermione also answered with an expression identical to Ginny's on her face. She proceeded back to her own bed. Lying down, Anjli sighed. She shook her head slightly as if trying to shake out the memories and then settled down to sleep.
