The next morning they all got ready in regular clothes, not needing to dress in uniform until the coming Monday, when classes would start. Alex chose a brightly coloured tank top that she threw a thin t-shirt over. The t-shirt had slashes going down the back, and had writing all over the front. Alex then threw on a pair of shorts and some high-top converse. She left her hair down and put on no make-up. Jessi chose to layer two tank tops, the top one having pockets and being covered in newsprint. She too wore shorts and converse and threw her hair into a ponytail.
Their final roommate, aside from Lily and Alice, was a small, doll-like girl with overly done makeup. She burst out of the bathroom and approached the pair as they were headed toward the door. "Hi, I'm Eloise. Sirius and I are completely in love, so don't try anything, and we won't have any problems."
Eloise stalked down the stairs and Jessi turned to Alex. "Well that was weird."
Alex nodded with a look that clearly said she thought Eloise was off her rocker, and they laughed before leaving the room to meet Lily and Alice downstairs.
As they walked down the stairs to the common room, Remus, James, and Sirius walked down the stairs from the boys' dorms.
"Good Morning Girls!" James smiled.
"Morning," Jessi smiled in response before leaning over to Alex, "happy birthday by the way."
Alex nodded in response and James turned to Lily to try and get her attention, having not heard what Jessi whispered.
"Oi! Evans! Was that an earthquake or did you just rock my world?"
"Shut up Potter!"
Alex shook her head at James's choice of a pickup line but let it slide.
The group walked down to the great hall together for breakfast and sat down towards the back of the hall in the same places as the previous night. As they were filling their plates, McGonagall came around handing out schedules. She handed the marauders, Jessi, Alex, and the girls their schedules and walked on, smiling briefly at Alex and Jessi before going.
"Let's see, on Monday I've got Defence against the Dark Arts, Charms, Potions, Lunch, Care of Magical creatures, Transfiguration, and a Free Period. What about you guys?" Alex asked when she finished reading off her schedule.
"Same." They all replied.
"Woo! We all get to go to classes together!" Jessi cheered, faking some enthusiasm at the beginning.
"Yippee!" Alex agreed in a very fake voice before glancing over at Jessi and collapsing into a fit of laughter.
The Marauders all looked over at her funny and Jessi just shrugged in, "you'll get used to it," kind of way.
"I'm okay." Alex said calmly as she sat back up.
"Are you sure?" Jessi asked skeptically, turning to face Alex.
Alex nodded as she met Jessi's gaze and seconds later was doubled over in laughter while Jessi chuckled triumphantly.
"Every time! Why can I not keep a straight face?" Alex whined as she pulled out of her current fit of laughter.
"Beats me," Jessi chuckled, taking a sip of her pumpkin juice.
