Selene POV
"See I told you we'll be alright" says Fred, all of us eating our dinner, I've never tried pumpkin juice before and was a little hesitant, but when I first tasted it I couldn't get enough of it.
"Do you think that maybe later on – tomorrow maybe – I could ask Professor Dumbledore for a word?" I ask, looking towards Percy in question,
"Your best asking Professor McGonogall first, she'll know if he's in any meetings and then can show you where to go to see him" he says, from this I nod in understanding,
"Why do you want to see professor Dumbledore Selene?" asks George, from this I look up at him in reply,
"The sorting hat knows who my parents are, when it was sorting me, it said he didn't expect me from my blood. So it must know, then maybe I could find them" I say, with this he nods with an encouraging smile, the lot of us continuing with our dinner which is absolutely delicious.
"Alright everyone, I hope you enjoyed your dinner, now off to bed. Prefects will lead first years to their common rooms" says Professor Dumbledore.
From this we all stand up and us first years follow our prefects,
"Come alone first years, and keep an eye on the stairs they like to change" says our prefect, from this I look at him confused but silently go along with everyone else to follow the prefect.
As we begin to get higher, I look above and then notice that the stairs are in fact moving by themselves, changing from one floor to another.
But suddenly, as I'm about to step onto the first step of the stairs, I find there isnt a step there at all.
"Ahh!" I scream, as I begin to fall fowards, but before I go forward any further, arms wrap themselves round me and pull me back, I wrap my arms round the arms owners body, feeling myself shake from what just happened,
"You ok Selene?"
I look up to then find that it was George who saved me, I nod breathlessly and with this he brings me closer to him in a hig which I desperatly hold onto, feeling him rub my back comfortingly,
"Guess thats what he meant before about that they like to change, better keep our eyes on them from now on" says George, from this I nod in agreement.
We then see the stairs come back around and in front of us, I heistate at first but when George rubs my arm supportively, keeping one arm round me, keeping me to his side I go with him up the stairs,
"Thank you" I say, unable to look away from the stairs,
"Dont worry about it, I'll always be there to catch you" he says, from this I smile up at him which he smiles back at, then we both continue to follow the other first years to the Griffindor common room.
When we all finally left the staircases, we followed our prefect down some corridors until we stood in front of a portrait of a lady who was admittedly quite big but in an old fashioned dress,
"Password?" she asks, from this I blink in surprise, she talked? And moved?
"Cabot Dreconus" says our prefect, then with this the lady then nods and the portait swings open and reveals an empty doorway and as we follow inside we find ourselves in a very luxurious living room, it gives off a sense of warmth and comfort instantly, I cant look away, even the blazing fireplace is beautiful.
"Welcome to the Griffindor common room. Boys dormitories up these stairs and to your left, girls the same on your right. You'll find all your belongings have already been brought up. Your timetables will be on this table with your names on them in the morning" says the prefect, from this most of us nod in acknowledgement. It's only now I realise I'm still tucked into George's side with his arm round my waist, but really it feels nice, again giving me that sense of safety.
"Well I think honestly it wont be too bad hitting the sack early. Percy said that class' normally start at nine, so might as well get to sleep now" says George, with this I nod in agreement. Fred then in front of us leads the way up the stairway then finding two doors on the left and the right.
"We'll see you in the morning Selene, night" says Fred, then surprising me pulls me into a hug, I laugh at this and hug him back,
"Night Fred, see you in the morning" I say, then releasing me he then goes into the boys dormitories,
"Night Selene" says George, with this I nod and we go into a hug,
"Sleep well" he says, at this I nod,
"You too George" I say, then we release and then go into our seperate dormitories.
When I get inside I find myself one of the first couple of girls already in,
"Hi, my names Natalie" says Natalie, a girl with dark brown hair who's also dark skinned too (not being raceist, could't tell how else to say it.) She's already in some baby pink pyjamas and sat on her bed, from this I smile, remembering seeing her getting sorted earlier,
"I'm Selene, how do you know which beds who's?" I ask, looking around, trying to figure out which ones mine.
"Way I did it was look for my pet, she's a grey and white cat, Delaine" she says, with this I nod then begin to look around for Cleo, then finally I see her in her carry-basket beside a bed with luggage on the bed already.
"Hey Cleo" I say, also finding that I'm next to Natalie, from this I smile up at her as she does with me.
I look back down at Cleo and then open her carry-basket, bringing her out and placing her on the bed which she begins to walk round inspecting it.
"Cute kitty" says Natalie, from this I smile up at her, now seeing the grey and black cat on her lap that must be her Delaine,
"So is yours" I say, from this she smiles down at her Delaine, then I begin pulling out my own pyjamas and getting into them.
"Looking forward to your first lessons?" I ask, now sitting in my bed with Cleo climbing onto my lap,
"Definitly, so how do you know the three red heads?" she asks, looking at me curiously,
"The oldest one is Percy Weasley, I cant remember what year he's in but a couple of years older than us, the twins are Fred and George Weasley - their all brothers. I met them on the train because we shared compartments" I say, with this she smiles and nods,
"That George seems protective of you though, you two together or something?" she asks, smiling genuinely at me, from this I look down but feel my traiturous cheeks blush,
"No, we're only friends though I think best friends now, I'm really lucky to have them. I think he's just being brotherly becuase I'm an only child as far as I know and is trying to make me feel better" I say, with this she smiles and nods,
"If you dont mind me asking; are you an orphan? I've never heard of a family named Sheen" she says, looking at me curously. From this I nod but smile still, its an innocent question and I'll probably have to tell others this too.
"Well, I think its time for some shut eyes, busy day tommorow" she says, with this I nod in agreement, then lie down, letting Cleo lie down beside me on my other pillow in front of me. Letting my dreams flood my mind of tommorow.
