It was a lazy, wintry Sunday evening at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry. The Great Hall echoed with the murmurs of students, waiting for
mounds of delicious food to appear on the table.
Albus Dumbledore clinked his spoon to his gold goblet.
"May I have your attention, please? We are gaining two new students tonight. This has only happened twice in the history of Hogwarts. These two exceptional witches were too advanced for their school in America. Professor McGonagall and I agreed that they challenge themselves and continue their studies here. They will join the 5th years."
Professor McGonagall placed the stool and the sorting hat on the platform in front of the teachers' table. Hagrid led in two girls, one taller than the other with dark copper hair held back in a pony tail which looked like it had seen better days. The other, a blond, stood next to her. They gawked and marveled around at the sight.
Dumblefore motioned for them to come to the front of the large room. The only noise heard was the click of their thick soled black shoes making their way to the platform.
Professor McGonagall smiled at the dark haired girl as she read, "Leonora, Majesta." She lifted the had from the stool and Majesta sat down. The hat sank over her face for a good 15 seconds before shouting "RAVENCLAW!"
Majesta smiled and walked toward the table that was cheering below the Ravenclaw banner.
The blonde girl, who Professor McGonagall announced as Luna Silvermoon was placed in Gryffindor. She skipped to a table clattered with people wearing cloaks with scarlet and gold patches, sitting in between a pair of identical twins with fiery red hair.
"Hullo, Luna. I'm Fred, this is my brother, George," the one on her right introduced. Soon she was showed who everyone at the table was. When being introduced to Harry Potter, she exclaimed, swallowing her pumpkin juice, "Of course! I've heard all about you. Masjesta thinks you're hot."
Meanwhile Majesta was drumming her fingers on the white linen tablecloth and popped a grape into her mouth. She looked over at Luna who was smiling, and laughing. Looks like I got the prude bookworm table she thought.
After her first Hogwarts meal, she pressed through the pulsing wave of people to find Luna. No luck. She followed some people with Ravenclaw patches on their cloaks up to the changing staircases. After meeting the Ravenclaw ghost, the Gray Lady, she entered the common room. There were blue velvet upholstered chairs and couches, surrounding a blazing fire.
She felt fairly unwelcome in her house and wondered how Luna was adjusting.

The next morning Majesta and Luna were happy to see that the majority of their classes they had together.
"Oh! Harry," Luna grabbed his shoulder as she walked by. "This is Majesta."
Harry kindly offered her his hand to shake.
"Hi," Majesta said gently, savoring the feel of his large, soft hand.
"Well," Luna said, thankfully breaking the silence that was obtained for a few moments, "We better go to class now."
Majesta shook her head and walked to her first class, which she had with Slytherin.

By the end of their first week, Luna and Majesta had made a few acquaintances, Luna mostly. Majesta gave off a perverted vibe, she claimed, which scared most people.
"It's the twins! Their asses are shitty!" they would exclaim as Fred and George Weasley walked passed them, acting out a favorite scene from the movie "Angela's Ashes".
At mealtime, Majesta and Luna would sit backwards on their benches, balancing their plates on their knees so they could talk. Harry and Ron soon got involved in their conversations and allowed their friendship to flourish, although there was still a lot of mystery behind the American girls.
Harry had gathered the bullocks to ask them if they really left their other school, for intelligence reasons. Majesta laughed and replied, "Well, yes...we were the best in our year, but we also got caught one too many tmes for casting spells on other students."
Dare he ask what? He did.
"Oh...just stuff like," she produced her wand from her robes, "erectus 4AMos." She flicked and swishes her wand.
Nothing happened.
"Don't worry," she smiled, her green eyes twinkling with mischief. "It'll all come together in due time."
