Bionca looked around the Ravenclaw common room. A beautiful, old looking place where the walls were blue and the floor was bronze. The furniture was all blue with bronze lining, and the only thing not these colours in the room was the fire, warming the room considerably, making it look very cozy indeed. Lisa showed her where the seventh year girls dormitories were, and told her if she were to ever need help, ask any of the prefects, or even any of the students in this house, and they would be pleased to help. She climbed the winding staircase, opened the door to her dormitory to find 3 girls all sitting on their beds talking. They quieted abruptly and looked at her.
"Ah, you're the new girl! Pleasure! My name is Diane, and this is Katrina and Andrea!" The girls all smiled and waved merrily at her. Bionca gave a weak, nervous smile back at them. They nodded their heads and got back to talking. Bionca laid down on her bed and stared at the ceiling, listening to their conversations.
"Pity they haven't replaced Tammy yet…" Andrew pondered. Bionca looked up, eager to know what she was talking about.
"Please don't get angry at me for listening, but what are you talking about?" The girls looked at her eagerly, ready to explain.
"Tammy was the Ravenclaw chaser, and a mighty fine one too I might add," Katrina began, "And she graduated last year, so the position is still open, seeing Ravenclaw hasn't had a match yet…"
"Chaser! So there is Quidditch here!" Bionca squealed happily. The other girls looked at each other like they were about to laugh.
"Of course there is Quidditch here! Do you play?"
"Ya, back at WC I played chaser! Perhaps I could try out! When are the try outs?"
"Cho Chang, captain of our house team, is holding them in 3 days! Lucky you made it here soon enough, or you might of missed out!" Andrew told her. Bionca nodded excitedly, they did have quidditch here! Her life might not be over after all! She sat up, and opened her trunk that she picked up and put on her bed. She looked through it. She had all her old books, new robes transfigured by… who was it? Mc Something, anyhow, she looked some more, a wonderful scarf with blue and bronze colours. She picked up her robes, and noticing the other girls had theirs on, put hers on. She looked down at the raven on her chest.
"Boy, you look spiffing! The robes really match that hair of yours!" Dianne said.
"Speaking of hair… have Fred and George's gotten REDDER?" Bionca smiled as they continued to talk about boys, hair, and other petty teenage issues. She closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Bionca! Wake up silly!" Diane yelled. Bionca's eyes flew open, and she looked around, trying to remember where she was. Then it hit her.
"Oh gosh, my alarm clock didn't go off! Lucky you were here! I would have been late on my FIRST day!"
"Oh well, you should get a move on if you don't want to miss breakfast!" Bionca sat up stiffly, yawned and got up, mumbling about the early hour. The other girls giggled after her. Bionca walked into the vacant bathroom and looked in the mirror. Her hair was a mess. Oh gosh! Her hair! She hadn't showered in days… But she definitely didn't have time now. She groaned and pulled out her wand, which she kept in a pocket in her nightgown, and muttered "cleansio chevia" and immediately her hair lay limp, but clean and dry, on her head. She looked through the cupboard in the bathroom until she found "Hector Harrini's Hair Hectic-tizer!" and poured some in her hands. She put it roughly through her hair, and immediately felt it dry. She straightened a strand with her fingers, and immediately it went back to its position. She smiled. Magical beauty products were just as good here as they were in Canada. Once she was happy with the state of her hair (short and messy) and got dressed in her skirt, shirt and robes. She put light makeup on her face, and set off to the great hall with Diane, Andrew and Katrina, who offered to show her the way and sit with her so she wouldn't feel lonely. She smiled at them when they did, glad she wasn't having trouble making friends here.
Once she walked in the hall, discussion abruptly stopped. Everyone was staring at the newest Potter, the one from Canada who just had a run in with Voldemort, and she blushed as she lowered her face and walked quicker to their spot on the Ravenclaw table. Just before she could sit down, she heard a cat call from one of the tables, obviously Gryffindor since Harry was seated there, smiling at her, and looked up to see a pair of identical boys winking and giving her the thumbs up. She rolled her eyes at their childish nature and began to talk to Diane, Andrea and Katrina about Hogwarts, as they told her about the class they had next, Charms with the Hufflepuffs.
After charms, where they learned about rapid charms, who makes the victim do and see things 100 times their normal rate. Many of the Hufflepuffs asked her questions about Canada, which she seemed to answer very quickly indeed. She consulted her chart afterwards, seeing they had potions with the Gryffindors. She walked with Diane (Andrea and Katrina had stayed behind to collect their extra homework given to them by Flitwick because they were put into Advanced Charms) to Potions, where she saw the dreaded boys. As she walked past their desk, one of them grabbed her wrist, and spun her around. She ended up flat on his desk.
"My, what a way to say hello!" One of them said, a large grin on his face.
"I could say the same to you!" Bionca replied rather rudely, angry at this boys attempts at getting her attention.
"No need to be surly! I am George, and this is my brother, Fred. Just nice to meet new people, especially when they are Potters!" George smiled genuinely at her, and, although very angry at him for making her end up on his desk, she felt her stomach doing summersaults over this boy's incredible smile. She quickly dismissed the feeling and rushed to her desk. Diane was there, a wide grin on her face.
"George! You were talking to George Weasley! Wow, isn't he so good looki-" She paused as an angry man slammed open the door and practically ran to his desk.
"Ah, the epitome of imbeciles I have in my class today! Including, wonderful, the Weasley twins. Please behave, or I will give you detention and take 50 points from you. On with the lesson. We will be talking about the effects of two potions mixed together," He scanned the room for a victim, and rested his eyes upon Bionca, who was staring at him with the up most of fear in her eyes. A wicked grin played upon his face, "Ah, another Potter! If you have half the wit and cleverness your brother does, I'm sure you will have half the school population swooning over you in no time, and all the teachers at your heels giving you A's!" Bionca gasped at his rudeness, but closed her mouth, waiting for the question.
"Tell me, Ms. Potter, what would happen if someone combined two polyjuice potions, one made of one sex, and another of the opposite?" Bionca heard Diane whispering '…You would turn into both a male and female and be permanently stuck that way…' but chose her own answer.
"Because of the opposites combining, it would create an equal balance of both male and female and the potion would become useless, keeping the person the same they were." Snape stared at her, dumbstruck that she got the answer, then said,
"Five points from Ravenclaw for getting the answer from Ms. Baxter." At this, Diane tore her gaze onto Snape with her mouth hung open. She stood up and said,
"Professor Snape! The answer I was giving her was incorrect! She ignored me and used her own answer, I say, give her points for not taking the answer PLUS getting it correct!" The whole class gasped at her courage. Snape looked resentfully at her, and then said through gritted teeth,
"It seems your Ravenclaw intelligence has failed you, in two ways. One, you got a question WRONG. Two, you had the nerve to stand up here, clearly knowing you would get punished! I would expect this from a Gryffindor, but clearly not from a Ravenclaw," he said the last word dripping with hatred, "But then again, I'm pretty sure the hat made a mistake placing you anyways. 20 points from Ravenclaw" At this, the other twin, Fred, stood up and said,
"You take that back! She is so smart! She made one mistake, and then stood up for her friend and admitted her wrong doing! How dare you! She is honest and intelligent! You monster!" George kept pulling on his robes, trying to get him to sit down, but Fred kept persisting. After a few more insults to Snape, he finally did, realising what he just did and waiting for the punishment frightened.
"Mr. Weasley! Detention, and 50 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR! I will expect you to remain quiet for the rest of this lesson, and do not give any more love confessions," At this, both Fred and Diane placed their face in their hands and moaned, "you will not get any credit for this lesson."
After the class, Diane and Bionca walked out, after Katrina and Andrea said they were going to the common room during lunch because they were going to work on an assignment. Diane was still very red from her experience in the classroom, and kept groaning about it as they turned a corner. Just then, someone called out their names. Diane and Bionca turned around to see Fred and George turning the corner. This caused Diane to put her face in her hands again and groan very loudly, while Bionca wondered what on Earth they could of wanted.
"Hey ladies, fine day, eh?" Fred said, winking at Diane. She looked at him with a pathetic, sad look. He laughed and threw his arm around her. She looked around hastily, wondering if anyone could see, but Fred seemed to care much less.
"So, Diane, what do you say about joining me, Mr. Frederick Weasley, to the Christmas Ball the school prefects are putting on?" He pointed rather foolishly at a floating bunch of words, changing colours from Gryffindor colours to Slytherin, then to Hufflepuff, then to Ravenclaw. It said:
Christmas Ball
To be held December 23rd, the day before holidays begin
Years 3 and up will be allowed to attend
Ask prefects or head of house for more information
Just then, George slapped a hand to his face in mock fright and said,
"My god! It flies!" This caused both himself and Fred to snicker, as Bionca frowned at their childish nature, they WERE supposed to be 17 after all!
"So, Diane, will you?" Fred persisted, and Diane shook her head rather nervously, and eventually pulled a little smile. "Excellent!" Fred said, still keeping his arm around her. They turned to look and George and Bionca, who were watching their little display. "George, I know you're the 'shy' one, but are you going to ask her your big, important question?"
"Ah yes, thank you very much for reminding me, young brother of mine! For I will not forget-"
"Get on with it George!"
"Alright, alright, Ms. Potter, would you grace my existence with the honour of, by your own good will of course-"
"GEORGE!"
"Attending the Christmas Ball with me?" He finished his sentence rather quickly. Bionca frowned at him, and was about to tell him off for being rude and then assuming she would join him in going to the ball, but saw the look of almost desperation in his eyes, and melted.
"Alright, alright." She said. George smiled wide at her and moved to kiss her cheek, but saw the eyebrow she had raised at him, and backed off. Then, Fred said,
"Now that you, George, have 'La Belle Canada' (in a fake French accent) and I have the Ravenclaw beauty, what shall we do?" Both girls blushed at his remark, but waited for George's reply.
"I think a friendly visit to Snape will do!" They winked at each other, and set off, Fred giving Diane a kiss on the cheek, and George whispering something to Bionca that made her blush, as he walked off. Diane, with a hand on her cheek, asked Bionca,
"What did he say?"
"Oh…uh…nothing…look!" She pointed at another flying sign, this time one colour, blue, that said:
Ravenclaw Chaser Tryouts
Scheduled tomorrow at noon, quidditch pitch
"Cho's moved the tryouts to tomorrow! You better get ready, Bionca!" Bionca stared at the sign, floating lazily away and turning a corner. They started walking towards the Great Hall for lunch, when Bionca wondered what she had next. Fumbling for her schedule, she finally gave up and muttered 'Accio Schedule' and it came flying quickly out of her bag and settled into floating before her face, as she said,
"Transfiguration, 1:00 p.m. with the… GRYFFINDORS!" She said Gryffindors a little too loudly, she saw, as Diane was snickering at her.
