I HAVE 100 REVIEWS! Thank you so much to everyone that has reviewed this story, I love the feedback that I get :D. As a thank you, here is an extra long chapter which has been written whilst half asleep, reread just now, had to have about a hundred words added to it to make it make sense, and then get uploaded. And I've done all of this for you. I hope you like it :D
Organising your own house was a lot harder than what Rose, the twins, Albus and Scorpius had first assumed. They already had their Common Room, and the Room of Requirement was an excellent Common Room, and the five first years had already started wearing their 'new uniform,' which were just the plain black robes that they had come to Hogwarts wearing. They were still really excited about losing house points for Gryffindor and Slytherin, but all of them knew that they would need more members of No-house to ever achieve their goal of having every school house have no house points.
"To do this, we're going to have to actually tell people about No-House." Simon repeated on Sunday night for the hundredth time. Albus, Scorpius and Rose nodded, but Sapphire pretended to cry.
"But people in this school are really scary." She wailed. Rose shook her head.
"I'll tell everyone about No-House, since I'm not scared of the people that hate me right now." Simon stared at her and Rose just shrugged her shoulders at him.
"I'm good with that." Albus said smiling. Scorpius stared at him.
"Me too." Simon and Sapphire said simultaneously.
"Well, I'm going to help Rose…if that's ok with you?" Scorpius added the question on to the end.
"Oh, thanks. I'll probably end up embarrassing myself with really bad grammar and sentences which don't make sense."
"Yeah, you do need my help." Scorpius laughed slightly. Then he pulled out some parchment. "Do you want to plan out what we're saying or do you just want to make it up on the spot."
"Well, if you want to write something, then I will happily read it…as long as it's about No-House." Rose added.
"I was thinking, maybe we just write down the facts that we want to say, but we are actually just making it up as we go along." Scorpius suggested. Rose nodded and went to sit next to him. They worked on what they were going to say quickly before going to bed.
"Oh, and Sapphire?"
"Yes Rose?"
"It's your job to get people's attention."
"Awesome." Simon looked at Rose, then at Sapphire.
"And Simon, I want you to make sure she doesn't go too over the top."
"Done." Rose said goodnight to the twins and Albus, and then went to her dormitory.
Rose woke up really early on Monday morning feeling slightly sick. She didn't want to talk about No-House in front of everyone else in the school; it seemed like a silly idea now. Why had they come up with it? Oh yeah, because she didn't want to be Slytherin if it meant getting beaten up by Grace all of the time. Rose sighed, and then got up.
She got ready quickly, going to the Common Room to try and get some alone time with her thoughts; they hadn't talked for a while. However, when she went to the Common Room, she saw that it wasn't empty.
"Couldn't sleep?" She asked Scorpius, who was just sitting at the desk writing. He hadn't noticed her until she spoke and Rose had made him jump. She smiled.
"No." After looking at what Scorpius was writing, Rose realised he was re-doing the notes they had written earlier. She pulled the parchment away from him to see what he had written, but the handwriting was illegible.
"I can't read this."
"Huh?" He took the parchment from her hands. "Neither can I." He ripped it up a couple of times and then leaned back on his chair. "This is much harder than I thought it would be."
"Yeah…it'd be harder for you as well, considering people actually like you." Rose stated. She went to the sofa and collapsed onto it.
"That's not true." Scorpius sat by her feet.
"What? Are you saying that people don't like you, because they do Scorp…I'm the unpopular one and don't even pretend that it's not true."
"Look, I…"
"Hey guys." The pair heard Albus shout from the base of the boys' staircase. "You ready for the big speech." It was weird seeing Albus in plain black robes, but they suited him. He wasn't a Gryffindor; he was a…what would you call someone in No-House? Rose didn't know, and that would probably cause a problem in the speech. She'd try to find a way around it.
Soon enough, the five people from No-House were all eating in the Great Hall at an empty end of the Gryffindor table. Rose, Sapphire and Simon were all getting glared at, but no one said anything. Then, Sapphire was yelling at everyone and when the Hall went silent, Rose stood up and took her chance.
"Hello everyone; I'm Rose and this is Scorpius and we just want to tell you about No-House." Scorpius stared at Rose, and then he stood up next to her.
"No-House can only be described as a separate house to the one that the Sorting Hat put you in, so if you feel like you don't belong in your original house, you're welcome in No-House."
"The Common Room is in the Room of Requirement. We will tell you where that is if you tell us you want to join; along with other information like the uniform and the rules."
"Just talk to either me, Rose, Simon, Sapphire or Albus if you're interested."
"Ok, thanks." Rose sat down and smiled. Scorpius was smiling as well, and whilst Rose was helping herself to some toast, Simon pulled out some parchment.
"All of you, sign this." He handed the parchment around. "This is so we can keep track of who's joined, who wants to keep it?" Rose volunteered. She'd be in charge of who was in No-House and making sure to keep the parchment updated. It was like homework except for the fact that she wanted to do it.
"Guys, that was so awesome. Did you spend all night coming up with that because it was amazing? You were really confident and I bet a few people join No-House. I wonder if this will be a big thing, you know, like an official house, because people should have a place to go if they don't like the house they've been sorted into. It would be really cool if it was. We'd all be a part of Hogwarts' history and how cool would that be?" Simon shoved some toast into Sapphire's mouth, which immediately shut her up.
"I think we should've warned people about Sapphire." Rose said to Scorpius, who was unfortunately drinking some water. This water found its way onto Simon's breakfast. Simon was about to yell at either Rose or Scorpius, when someone tapped Rose on the shoulder.
"Lysander?" Albus asked smiling. "I knew you'd…"
"Lorcan?" Rose saw the Ravenclaw crest on his robes, thankful that they were in different houses.
"Yeah…um…I…I…"
"Do you want to join No-House?" Scorpius asked.
"Yeah." He looked at Rose who nodded, understanding why he wanted to join immediately. Rose gave him the parchment.
"Can you just put your name down on here?" Lorcan did so. "Now, I'll show you where the Common Room is, and Albus?"
"Yes Rose?"
"Get him some robes." Albus followed Rose and Lorcan out of the Great Hall, but they went in different directions in the Entrance Hall. Albus went towards the kitchens, which was where the laundry room could be found, and Rose went to the seventh floor.
"I can't believe you actually made your own house, that's amazing." Lorcan said quietly.
"Yeah well, we don't belong in our houses, so we thought something had to be done about it." Rose saw the tapestry marking the Room of Requirement ahead and when she got there, she started pacing.
"What's the uniform? You haven't made something ridiculous have you?"
"Look at what I'm wearing." Lorcan saw the plain black robes.
"That's genius. Are you sure you're not a Ravenclaw?" Rose stared at him for a couple of seconds, and then went into the Room. Lorcan followed her.
"It's not just me you know. All five of us made No-House and Simon's the brains behind it, not me." Lorcan probably didn't hear her; he was too busy staring at the Common Room. After a couple of minutes, Albus came into the Room holding Lorcan's robes. "I'll leave now. See you later." Rose left the Common Room quietly and made her way towards Herbology.
When she was there, she saw something that made her do a double take. Victoire Weasley, her cousin in seventh year, was talking to Simon and Scorpius. When Victoire saw Rose, she smiled.
"Hey, I heard about No-House. I want in." Rose blinked.
"But you only have a few months left at school."
"So?"
"So…so…" Rose stuttered.
"Look, I wanted to be a prefect to impress my dad. Don't laugh at me Rose; I wanted to be part of the prefect team. But the Headmaster thought that I was 'too immature' for the job. Also, I like the idea. It makes sense. So please, please, please..."
"Uhhhh…ok. Just sign this." Rose gave Victoire the parchment, who signed it quickly.
"I know where the Room of Requirement is, and I can find those robes in my size. Thanks Rose. Do you want me to make my prefect badge?"
"Yeah."
"It has to either be plain black or have all four Hogwarts colours on it." Simon said after being silent for quite a long time. Victoire nodded, squealed and then hugged the both of them. When Professor Longbottom appeared at the Greenhouses, he cleared his throat, causing Victoire to stand up quickly and smile innocently at him. Then she turned around and ran off towards the Entrance Hall. Rose looked at Simon and smiled.
"Prefect?" He asked, obviously not quite believing it. Rose nodded, and had to stop herself from jumping up and down. Rose saw Albus running towards them.
"Albus, hi. You'll never guess what just happened." Rose looked back, surprised. She hadn't known that Sapphire was here. "No-House just got a prefect. Isn't that awesome?"
"Prefect? What? How?" He looked between Rose, Simon and Sapphire.
"We'll tell you in Herbology." Simon said, going into Greenhouse One. They all followed him in, and instead of paying attention, Rose wrote a note to Albus explaining all about Victoire and how she was their prefect. Rose read through her note and smiled. This was actually happening. She gave it to Simon, who threw it to Scorpius, who read it with Albus. They both smiled as well.
"Excuse me Scorpius, Albus, Rose, Sapphire and Simon." Professor Longbottom said from the front of the class.
"Y-yes sir?" Scorpius asked. Rose rolled her eyes at how polite he was.
"What are you wearing?" He was looking at their robes.
"Our house uniform." Simon said simply. "Now if you'd continue your lecture on the Venomous Tentacula, it was really interesting."
"No house in Hogwarts has that uniform." Sapphire squealed.
"Oh guys, did you hear that? Professor Longbottom knows what No-House is. Does that mean that he accepts…?"
"Miss Zabini, what are you talking about?"
"No-House." Sapphire said the shortest sentence that Rose had ever heard her say. Then Rose remembered that Sapphire was scared of Professor Longbottom.
"That makes no sense."
"But…But weren't you listening to Rose and Scorpius this morning? You're an extremely bad…"
"Sapphire." Rose warned, but she was ignored.
"…teacher if you don't even take an interest in what your students are doing and…"
"Miss Zabini, that is enough! I do not have any idea what you are talking about and I do not pay attention to every little detail in my students' lives because believe it or not, I have a lot of people to teach. Ten points from Slytherin." Professor Longbottom took a breath to continue the lecture, when he paused. "Miss Zabini, why are you smiling?"
"Because you've just taken points off Slytherin." Sapphire said as if it was the simplest thing in the world. Longbottom frowned slightly, shook his head and then carried on with the lecture.
Longbottom knows Herbology and I know how to shut Sapphire up.
What you know is more useful by far. Rose smiled slightly, and then started playing Hangman with Sapphire.
Let me know what you thought in reviews...please.
