Okay, so introducing a new character here...i really like her, but it's the readers thoughts that matter, right? :D. And I honestly love you all for reviewing. A hundred and thirty-four reviews? WOW! That's like, fifty more reviews than my other story, which I thought was popular.
Anywho...read on...
I looked at Lisle and James, who were standing by each other. They were perfect for each other...but yet at the same time I was a little shocked. After all, I had assumed that they didn't like each other. But both had black hair and at least a little brown eyes.
"What's wrong?" Roxanne asked me as I trudged into the common room.
"Oh, nothing," I said. "I think I'll be in the dorm for a while; doing homework, ya know."
"Right," Roxanne said, and although she didn't say anything, I knew that she knew something was wrong.
There's a window in our dorm. It has gauzy, opaque curtains, and a wide ledge for sitting on that I thought was absolutely perfect. It has a heavy tapestry above it, and none of my friends (although they knew where it was) really took any thought about it. It had a lame view-except for when it was sunset. And it was sunset right now. So I went behind the tapestry and watched the sun streak the sky vibrantly with orange, pink, and the fluffy white clouds slowly get dark. And then I went out from behind the tapestry-
-and came face to face with a girl.
I knew her faintly. Her name was Caitlin or something like that. She never really talked to us, so we never really talked to her. I never thought that she was especially pretty, but up here, I realized that there was something special about her long pale starlight hair and her dreamy light brown eyes. Her face was delicately sculpted, like a pixies, and I fought the urge to brush back her hair and see if her ears were pointed.
"Oh," she said softly. "I didn't know anyone was here."
"It's alright," I said, smiling. "I didn't know either. Caitlin, right?"
"Catrin, actually," Catrin said sheepishly.
"Why don't you ever talk?" I blurted out, and then could have slapped myself. Her face immediately turned bright red. "I'm so sorry...I'm so stupid, but you never actually talked to us..."
"That's because I have nothing to say," she said.
I frowned. "Oh."
That was all I had to say, really, so I smiled at her and started to head towards the dorm door, intending to walk out.
"I know that your grandfather was Voldemort," she blurted out.
I slowly turned around.
"What?"
Ahhh, cliffy, huh? So, here's a list of the main OCs in this story so far-
Lexi
Addison (durh)
Lisle
Catrin
Toby
I guess that's all. But I was tossing around names for Catrin, and i thought about Catilyn and then...well...Catrin was the winner. Like Addison! I tossed around Adeline, Hannah, Rachel, and a bunch of other names before even starting this story
Also, I've opened up a poll for Secrets of a Seventh Year. Please check it out! On my profile...
