A .N: I know that the last chapter wasn't great.. But here goes yet another
one.. Hopefully a bit more fascinating. Oh yes and I NEED REVIEWS!
When Ginny had finally calmed herself down enough to listen to the speeches, she just caught the tail end of Dumbledore's "And first years are not permitted to go into the Forbidden Forest". At this, the twins' faces lit up. "Did he say, first years?" Fred said excitedly. "I believe that you are right!" George replied. Dumbledore, catching onto his mistake, swiftly added, "And that goes for the rest of the school as well." The twins scowled. "Now let's eat!" A sigh went up around the room, as all the dishes of food appeared. "Oh, I always love this bit!" Ron said, helping himself to a large helping of mashed potatoes, but at the same time elbowing Ali to tell her this thrilling news "Thrilling." Ali said. "What's up with you?" Ron said "Well, I really wanted to be in Ravenclaw," Ali said, gazing into the chicken leg as if it held some deep meaning. "Well, don't worry. Look at Hermione! She's also a brain and she didn't get put in there. Anyway, thank your lucky stars it isn't Slytherin or worse. Hufflepuff!" Ron said. "Yes, you're right," Ali said, tucking into her food.
When they had all finished their food, it was time to go up to their dormitories. On the way up, Hermione and Ali got talking. "Have you read Hogwarts a History?" Ali asked "Don't get her started! Please!" Ron groaned.

The next day was uneventful (that is, if you don't count Ali's falling down the stairs at least three times. She seemed to be quite an expert at it). The thing that annoyed both Ali and Ginny was that teachers kept on getting them muddled up; they kept on calling out "WEASLEY" expecting Ali to answer.
But one thing that Ginny had noticed was that Ali was talking in her sleep. Normally Ginny just threw a pillow at her and hadn't taken anymore notice, but tonight was different. She was shouting, "HELP, NO! LEAVE HER!" Ginny ran over to her bed and shook her awake. Ali was shaking and clutching her leg. When Ginny had finally calmed her down and got back into bed herself, she thought that the way that Ali had screamed and stuff was the way that Ron had described Harry's dreams. But then she cleared her mind; it was just a bad dream. that was it; or maybe she was just missing her family. She had never really heard Ali talk about her family. ***
"Ginny, WAKE UP!" shouted Ali, shaking her friend violently. "UGH, what is it, Ali? It's seven fifteen AND it's a weekend." Ginny said, stuffing her head under the pillow. "Exactly! Today's the first Quidditch match of the year! Hufflepuff against Gryffindor." Ali said. It wasn't the game that Ali was excited about; it was getting Ginny up on a weekend at this hour. Ginny never surfaced before ten on a Saturday. Finally, she appeared, eyes red, and muttering darkly and giving Ali evil looks. "You know what I'd like to do to the whole lot of you early risers?" Ginny said, pulling herself out of bed. "No, what?" replied Ali cheerfully. She was already dressed and ready to go. Her only answer was another evil look as Ginny rooted around in her trunk for a hairbrush.
