Ralph's POV

I yawned, and stretched as I sat up in bed. Today was going to be a great day! I rummaged around in my trunk, and pulled out my uniform. Pulling on my uniform, I made my way toward the bed side table. I picked up my textbooks, and made my way out of the dorm. I was so close, to leaving the common room, when I heard it.

"Ralphy?" Where are you going so early?" Helen Pompe sat in an over-stuffed chair, playing with a strand of hair.

"Hello, Helen." I sighed quickening my pace. Helen was too quick, and was right behind me. Helen is quite popular, and loves to torment me, she was the one who gave Zoe the idea to put this horrid potion in my hair. But knowing Zoe she would've done it anyways on her own.

"Doing anything tonight? Ralphy…" she mouthed Ralphy. I felt my knees going weak, Helen was gorges; tall and thin, a models figure, with long, silky, platinum blonde hair. I knocked myself out of it; I knew she was just doing this to bug me.

"Y-y-yes…" I stuttered averting my eyes. She tilted her head, then put her finger to her lip.

"That's to bad." She pouted, slowly backing away, "I thought we could study." She turned around, a sly smile on her face. I stood there like a complete idiot, until she was back in the dormitory. Smacking my hand into my face, I hoped my friends had a plan.

Alice's POV

I skipped down the corridor, not really paying attention to *where* I was going. In all honesty, I was paying more attention to the dream I had, had last night. What had they meant by death? More importantly who? I didn't know anyone that was ill, or really old. Suddenly, i bumped into someone, and fell to the floor. I looked up into the face of my friend Iris Zyope.

"Hey!" i screamed, flinging myself at my friend.

"Hey, how are you?" she asked with a smile, smoothing her short brown hair.

"Good, I guess." I said pushing the thoughts about my dream out of my head. Iris nodded, and fiddled with a badge she was wearing. It read:

Ravenclaw: At least we know what we are.

I let out a laugh. The ravenclaws were always feuding with the hufflepuffs. Iris's badge was based off of what I had heard someone once say:

Professor: What the hell is a hufflepuff anyway?

Hufflepuff student: I don't know, but we make good finders!

"So, where are you off to?" I asked Iris.

"Well," she started, "I was going to study." She stated in an embarrassing tone. I looked at her slightly confused,

"Today is Sunday, isn't it?" I questioned, Iris nodded slowly. "So, since its Sunday, it means it's not Monday, so that means we don't have classes?" Iris was starting to get the point. "Hence forth, it's a day off." Iris sighed,

"Well, what else am I supposed to do?" I face planted myself, and rolled my eyes at Iris.

"I don't know, have fun?" Iris nodded, "Good," I patted her head, and began to walk away.

"hey want to hang out?" Iris called after me.

"Nope," I replied, "I have to study."

Jayde's POV

I rolled over in bed, and yawned. Yeah! I thought sarcastically, pulling myself out of bed. I threw on my I heart Spike tee shirt, and a pair of ripped jeans. I shivered, the word

"Ralph." rolled off my tongue. I shrugged; maybe it meant I should bother him. I've known Ralph forever, but were just friends. I finished lacing up my combat boots, and made my way over to Zoe's bed. Slowly, i crawled onto the bed, and began to jump. Zoe muttered in her sleep and attempted to kick me. I jumped out of the way laughing.

Muwahahahah!

"Jayde!" Zoe screamed, sitting up in bed. I love waking Zoe up like this in the morning. Zoe, growled, and lunged at me. We wrestled on the ground, *some would call it friendly wrestling but to Zoe, well in her head she was thinking to herself "kill jayde!" . After about five minutes, we stopped and brushed ourselves off. I laughed awkwardly, and walked away, that was weird…

Neville's POV

I gulped as I saw her walk into the library. She wore, a short, white lace sundress, with a leather jacket, and combat boots. Her hair was up in a messy bun. I didn't care what she was wearing, she was always beautiful. Alice always walked with confidence. Like nothing would or was ever standing in her way. Today however was different, she seemed to be staring through things, and slouching a little. Maybe today wasn't a good day to ask her. I still wasn't totally sure what I was going to ask her. Would you go out with me, just wouldn't do. I needed something that would impress her, i needed something spontaneous. Alice snapped out of it for a moment, and noticed me. She waved and approached me.

"Hello Neville," she smiled. Talk. Talk. Breath. Talk. I suddenly lost control.

"!" I pushed it all out in one breath. Alice tilted her head to the side clearly confused. A smile started to appear on her face, she nodded her head up and down. I gushed,

"You will?" she responded by embracing me in a long hug. Suddenly she jumped up,

"I have to tell my friends!" she ran out of the library. Proudly I puffed my chest out. I had a girlfriend.

Alice's POV

I ran into the common room, squealing. Zoe, Damon, and Jayde all sat on the floor by the fire, a couple other people sat in the back.

"Omigoshhhh!" I screamed jumping up and down.

"Calm down." Damon said standing up and walking toward me. "You look as excited as a fat kid in a candy store. "

"That's cause I AM!"

"What's going on?" Zoe asked, her hair a mess of curls, she obviously didn't brush it this morning. My friends looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

"I have a boyfriend!" I said in a sing-song voice. I saw all three of their jaws drop.

"You." Damon stuttered.

"Have." Zoe added.

"A boyfriend?" Jayde said becoming involved in the conversation.

"EEEEEKKKKKKKKK!" Everyone yelled embracing me in a hug. I was beaming. This was my first boyfriend, and it was Neville to butte. Neville had this way about him; he was in a word different.

"Soooooooo, who is it?" Damon questioned excitedly. I stopped, no one was going to except this, he was a Gryffindor, and I was a slytherin. How was Ii going to explain this one.
