The hour left of dinner went by fast. Scorpius told me all the in's and out's of Hogwarts. We didn't stop talking, unless we had food in our mouths, the entire time. Students started drifting out of the Great Hall and soon Scorpius and I were the only students left at the Ravenclaw table.

"We should get to bed." I nodded and waited for him to lead the way. He didn't move, "do you know the way?" I shook my head negative, "Great! We can play follow the leader," he said jokingly. He took me up several sets of stairs and soon I was so turned around, I was sure I'd be lost forever. "We have arrived!" I watched as he stared at a bronze eagle knocker.

I jumped when the knocker spoke, "I know a word of letters three, add two and fewer there will be."

"It's a riddle?" I asked confused.

"Instead of having a password like the other houses, we get asked riddles." He looked like he was concentrating hard, "the problem is, I suck at riddles."

I laughed and then turned to the knocker, "can you repeat the riddle?"

"No, I can only say the riddle once for a person."

"But, you said the riddle to him not to me."

The knocker made a scoffing noise, "fine! I know a word of letters three, add two and fewer there will be."

I thought for a second, "The answer is 'few'"

"Correct," the knocker announced and I was let into a blue and bronze room.

I entered the common room with Scorpius behind me. He asked, "How did you know that?"

"The riddle said 'fewer there will be.' So, I figured the two letters had to be added on to 'fewer'. If you take off the 'er', you get 'few'." I explained as though it was obvious.

"Never would have gotten that." He decided to change the subject, "classes start tomorrow; we should go to bed."

"Okie dokie," I replied suddenly hyper, "Night." He returned the sentiments and walked up a staircase. I thought it was safe to figure the other staircase led to the girls' rooms. When I reached the landing, I saw a hall of doors. I went to the one labeled sixth year and opened the door.

Inside were three giggling girls and a fourth one reading a book, "hello," I said nervously.

The three girls turned to look at the person who interrupted them and went quiet. The girl reading had light brown hair and bright blue eyes said, "Hello. Are you the new student?"

"Yes, my name is Gemini Black." I replied.

Another girl with black hair said in a snotty voice, "what kind of name is Gemini?" The girl sitting next to her burst out into a new set of giggles.

The girl who had talked first said, "Ignore her. She's just jealous because Scorpius spent the entire dinner talking to you instead of her. My name is Matilda Fawcett. This is Lela Jones, Mariah Whitby," she motioned to two blonde girls," and this, oh so nice person," she motioned to the black haired girl," is Patrice Chang."

"Nice to meet you," I gulped out. After the introductions, Matilda, Lela, and Mariah started badgering me with questions. Matilda seemed interested in my life, while Lela and Mariah just wanted to know what Scorpius talked to me about.

I tried to smother a yawn, but wasn't successful. "This is your bed," Matilda pointed to the only bed that's sheets weren't rumpled. It was next to hers.

Patrice, who seemed upset about not being the center of attention, pouted and loudly announced, "It's late and we have school tomorrow."

Matilda rolled her eyes and got into bed. The rest of us followed suit and were soon asleep.

The next couple of months slipped past quickly, I studied and took O.W.L's, which I found out stood for Ordinary Wizarding Levels. I was under constant testing to see how my life so far, growing up in an orphanage and living on the streets, effected my interaction with other students. Scorpius and I became close, but he would disappear unexpectedly. Matilda also became my friend and I spent most of my time with her.

The only trouble I had with a student happened towards the end of the second month. I had just finished my last O.W.L. and Scorpius decided he would let me in on where he went when he disappeared. It turns out, he thought I should meet some of his other friends. These friends included Rose Weasley, who was extremely nice, and Albus Potter, who took an instant Dis-like to me. I don't know why, but he was very short tempered and so, soon after introductions, I slipped away. Scorpius was too busy talking to Rose and visa versa. I was positive he liked her and sure she felt the same even after only one meeting. Albus, on the other hand, was glaring heavily at Scorpius. He ended his death stare and glanced around. When he noticed I was gone, he visibly relaxed. It confused me, but I figured not everyone was going to like me. Mostly, I just hadn't expected someone to judge me without knowing me. I went straight to the common room and into my bedroom.

Inside, Matilda was sitting on her bed reading. Without looking up, she said, "Hey, Gemini."

"Hey, Mattie" I said slightly sullen.

She caught the tone, "what's wrong?"

Knowing she wouldn't let me go if I answered with nothing, I told her about how Albus acted when he met me.

"That's weird," she said confused, "I wonder why he doesn't like you. I mean with his family history, it was weird when everyone found out he was best friends with a Malfoy." At my questioning look, she added, "their dads hated each other at school." I nodded acknowledging that I understood what she meant. "I don't know why he doesn't like you. Maybe, you should ask Scorpius when he gets back."

"Scorpius?" A shrill voice said from the doorway. We turned to see Lela. Lela and Mariah are fan-girls of Scorpius. Patrice is the worst, though.

"Yeah, he said something about waiting for a girl in the library." Matilda replied. She hated the whole fan-girl concept. Mattie thought being obsessed like that was creepy. After realizing what Matilda said, Lela ran out of the room. I assume she went to spy on Scorpius in the library.

After she left, a little blonde-haired girl came to the door, "Gemini, a boy is asking for you downstairs." Then, she left the room.

I looked at Matilda, "go," she commanded. I obeyed.

"GEMMA!!" a voice was screaming.

"Scorp, I got the message, no need to yell." I saw him at the bottom of the steps.

He stopped calling for me, "what message?"

"Never mind, what do ya want?" I said walking to a table in the common room and sitting down.

He sat down across from me, "why'd you run off?"

"Umm…I had something I needed to do?" It ended up coming out as more of a question then a statement.

"Right," he said skeptically, "why'd you run off?" He asked again.

I decided to change the subject. If he was best friends with Albus, I didn't want to say anything about him. "You like Rose." I pointed out.

He blushed, "Don't change the subject."

"Well, I thought I was in the way."

"Why?" Apparently, he likes that question.

"You and Rose were wrapped up in each other and Albus doesn't like me."

"We were not wrapped up in each other. What do you mean Albus doesn't like you?"

Yay, a new question that doesn't start with 'why'. "He glared at me."

"Glared?" He asked doubtfully.

"Yes, glared. I don't know why, but I figured you might know."

"I didn't even notice anything."

"To busy flirting with Rose," I said teasingly.

"I was not!" he said unconvincingly.

"She was flirting with you, too." I informed him.

"She was?" he asked with wide eyes. I nodded.

Since it was late, I said goodnight and went to my room. He tried to chase after me and ask more questions, but thank goodness for the stairs.
