A/N my friends and I went on because we have no life and

I'm in Slytherin and they're all in Gryffindor, and yet one of them and I

are soul sisters...I don't ask, I just nod my head

Chapter 13: Decorating

"OK, now your password is 'Alohomora'. Good night and the prefect information is on the boards. And now I shall take my leave." Dumbledore said when he, Nina and Pansy got to the Gryffindor/Slytherin common-room entrance. He then left the two girls.

Nina looked at the portrait. It was of a young woman in a dark purple dress looking out into the ocean. She was standing on the edge of what seemed to be a very steep cliff. The painting was in grays, besides the dress. While Nina was admiring the artwork, Pansy was 'inspecting' Nina. She knew that there was something between her and Draco judging by the way they acted towards each other. And she and the mudblood were acting like best friends. What Slytherin even associated with her kind?

"So, I guess that I'm going to be showing you the ropes around here." Pansy said in a snobby voice.

Nina turned to her and put her hand on her hip and stared at Pansy. "So you're Pansy? Heard some about you."

"Good, of course." Pansy flipped her hair over her shoulder.

"Only a little off. Wanna guess again?" Nina smirked.

"Well, there'll be worse going on about you if you continue to associate with Mudblood Granger and the rest of her kind."

"Her kind?" Nina was getting extremely pissed off.

"Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws, make that ESPECIALLY Gryffindors. And you will if you care about your house, housemates, and yourself."

"First of all, the only people who I planned on not associating myself with is you and your kind. Second, don't tell me what to do, and third, you might make empty threats, but mine are full (A/N I dunno, it was the corniest thing I could think of). If you do anything to piss me or any of my friends, or anyone in particular, you will pay. That includes using the word 'mudblood', considering your precious leader is a, what would you say, a filthy half-blood. Leave me alone. Leave Hermione alone. Leave the Gryffindors alone, Leave the Ravenclaws alone. Leave the Hufflepuffs alone. Or you'll answer to me. And that, as mentioned before, is not an empty threat. Now I don't care if you'll excuse me or not, I'm going to bed. Good night" with that, Nina said the password leaving a shocked Pansy standing outside.

"Nina! Oh my god! McGonagall told me!" Hermione screeched as she ran to her best friend.

"I know!" Nina said as she grabbed Hermione.

"Let's go look at our room!"

"Our room? Does that mean that we're going to have to share a room with that Pansy bitch?"

"Unfortunately, but the room is somewhat big, so we can probably try to divide it with an invisible wall."

"Hey Nina," Ron said as he came down the stairs, "it looks like we're gonna get to get to know each other better now"

"Looks like it. So, would any of you like to be beaten in a game of Wizard's Chess?" Nina clapped her hands and rubbed them together.

"Ha! I'll have you know that I happen to be a very skilled chess player." Ron said as he smiled. Finally, a challenge.

"Yeah Nina, he beat a life-size game and we were the pieces and won."

"Yeah, but you'd think that McGonagall would make sure that the queen didn't hit so hard" Ron said rubbing his head.

"But Ronnie, dear. Nobody was supposed to get to the stone, not even us."

"What are you guys talking about?" Nina was confused

"Nothing" The two said.

Nina and Ron played a 'rousing' game for two hours with no one winning. By the time they gave up, it was ten 'o' clock.

"C'mon Hermione, let's go to the dorm room. I want to wake up extra early so we can sneak up on Harry in the morning," Hermione said as she brought Nina into their room. "Oh, and we can't forget to put up the invisible wall."

The two went into the room to find Pansy hanging up ugly pink frilly things on the wall.

"Pansy, what are you doing?" Hermione slowly asked.

"You don't actually expect me to live in a room with no taste or anything." Pansy shrilled as she hung up some ugly pink curtains.

"Well, how about this Parkinson, we put up an invisible wall so we don't have to go near you and you us. We'll even let you decorate your third any way you want" Nina said.

"Why would I only get a third?"

"Because there's three of us. We each get a third. That's fair. Have you ever taken math?" Nina giggled. Who woulda thought that Hermione would go into intelligence insults?

"What's fair is me getting my own room. I don't have to share a room with a mudblood and, I'm not even gonna ask what you are. I shouldn't have to live in just a portion of the room. It should all be mine" Pansy said angrily.

"OK, so I'll take that as a yes," Nina said. Before anyone could say anything, she cast an invisible wall spell. A bright light filled the room and then disappeared. "Good night Pansy. Come on, Hermione."

With that, Nina grabbed her pajamas, toothbrush and toothpaste and left the

room.

"Well, I guess that I'll continue to add at least a little class to this room." Pansy said as she continued to put up wallpaper.

"Whatever," Hermione said as she grabbed her stuff and followed Nina.

In the Bathroom

"Yo!" Nina said as she entered the bathroom.

Hermione turned away from Padma and smiled.

"What took you so long bitch?" Hermione asked playfully.

"Accidentally walked in on the guys, not that they were complaining." Hermione laughed, first noticing that her friend's pajamas consisted of only rolled up, red boxers and a small black tank top. "Hey Padma, Hannah. Sup you guys?" she said as she put some toothpaste on her toothbrush.

"Nothin' really. We were just talking about our summers. How was yours?" Hanna asked politely.

"Oh, it was good, thank you. Actually, look to your left and you'll see the results."

"I was wondering who did the great job. No offence Hermione, but you never really seemed like the make-up artist type" Padma said.

"Thanks. I can feel the love in the room." Hermione sarcastically said as she began to floss her teeth.

"Well, I wanted to ask you, Nina, what was with you and Draco Malfoy before at the feast?" Padma asked.

"Oh, we've met previously and, well, I'm guessing that you all know what he's like." Nina said. The girls nodded in agreement and smiled.

"You should look out for him, though. He breaks hearts," Hannah said, remembering last year and sighing.

"Who cares? I like the drama." Padma said.

"Well this year he had better look out," Nina said with a smile and a mouth full of foaming toothpaste.

When the girls finished in the bathroom, Nina asked Hannah and Padma if they wanted to have a sleepover on one of the rooms, which they agreed to, but in the Hufflepuff/Ravenclaw room.

Throughout the night, the four got to really know each other and became good friends. Pansy, though, spent the whole night in her room, trying to figure out how to get to the other side so she could find some dirt on her

roommates.

The Boys

"So" Draco said.

"So" Ron answered.

"I guess that we're to be roommates."

"Looks that way."

There was an awkward silence.

"So, you want to start off the year with a fight or see who can go the

longest without starting one?" Ron asked.

"I would prefer the first one, but I do not wish to even touch your poor hands. How about whoever can go the longest without starting a fight inside the tower, or whatever we're living in, wins something. What have you got to bet with?"

"How about fifty galleons?" Ron suggested.

"Like you even have one? Ha! But OK, how about we sweeten it though? Loser has to do something."

"What do you propose?"

"How about you do one favor for me when I win and I'll do one for you if you win, though I doubt that that will happen."

The two shook hands and went to sleep.
