The Female Gryffindor
Disclaimer: Any, all, and only disclaimers apply.
A/N: Sorry I don't update this as much as my other story. I'm going to continue it, as often as possible. It's just; I love my other stories too, and want to do them, especially Water Lilies.
Hey Celine; thank you so much for your comments. I really liked what you told me; I like the more intense, really more 'I actually read your story' comments! Thank you!
Pottermaniac: I realized later that I did need descriptions; I hope this chapter will give you several answers to that question. As for Kevin, I think he was rather overwhelmed. He is a little quiet though.
REVIEW!

After a rather infuriating train trip, Fiona Gryffindor got out of the train compartment that she had spent the last few hours in. So did the annoying, talkative girls.
Fiona preferred Ravenclaw girls to overly pompous 'ladies.'
Fiona thought herself the same as others and her ancestor had created Hogwarts! With two ladies and another man, of course. She had never been arrogant.
Her looks were simple; a light brown with blonde highlights around her face colored hair that was overly strait and always tangled, clear, pale skin, and a regular-sized nose.
The only thing odd about her was her eyes. They were purple. A radiant purple, as her mother would say. A wicked purple, as her aunt would say, not to her immediate family of course.
The other girls had blue or brown eyes, blonde or brunette hair, and small noses mostly.
Large noses were quite common in males, these days, unfortunately. Kaso had it. Amazingly, she realized, Kevin had been big nosed free, leaving him with a small sized one. This was important to Fiona for no reason. Just her own rather private thoughts.
A short but strong man called, "First years over to the west! First years west!"
When he thought they were all gathered, he said, "All right, all of you. Two ladies, two men to a boat. Help her now!" he added to a small boy whom had been enjoying the scene of a nearby girl. Every time a tiny moment in the water came near her, she squealed and ran away. It was amusing.
Fiona climbed randomly into a boat, not noticing the three other people. The man said, "FORWARD!" and the boats began to row themselves.
The little oats tipped forward slightly, causing many shrieks from a few girls. The water was deep and steady, without tosses and turns from the current. It was a lake. Deep down under the misty green-blue surface, a light seemed to brighten, then fade as they moved on. It was the moon, she realized. It brightened their path with ripples of light. Above the stars and the moon began to show. The moon was full and bright. A couple of bright stars whom stood bright showed against the soft blue of evening. One star was very bright. Though Fiona noticed, she did not know which star it was.
When she had gotten used to the shifting of the boats, she looked around her boat.
Next to her was a blonde haired, blue-eyed girl. She flipped her hair casually. She stared interested at the boys in front of her. The boy right in front did not interest her; more disgusted her. The one diagonal was calmly accepted.
He was a black-haired boy. His eyes were hazel that seemed to speak of autumn coming. His skin tone was more on the dark side, as if one of his parents had been African. It was good to see that; so few boys had that tone.
His features were normal, mostly. Black hair had always grown, then died out, grown, then died out.
Hazel eyes were odd, like her purple. They had been thought to be evil in the past, until they saw a baby born with them. Babies are always innocent.
Fiona realized who it was. Kevin Potter.
Kevin noticed her looking at him. He smiled at her. He looked to the other boy, to the girl, and back to the boy. He grinned.
Fiona realized who the other boy was. Kaso Gryffindor! He was staring at the blonde with a look of romantic interest awe.
The flip of the girl's hair had not interested Kevin, but it had stolen an already engaged boy's heart. 'Boys,' she thought, 'always after looks. Well, almost always,' she added, looking at Kevin.
Fiona grinned back. It was rather funny. Obviously not to the blonde.
Kaso opened his mouth and stuttered a bit before saying, "I'm Kaso Gryffindor; who are you?"
"Alanna Lynx," she snapped, not rudely, but clearly showing her detest to the boy.
Fiona almost felt sorry for Kaso. Almost.
"Who are you?" Alanna added to Kevin and Fiona on a lighter note.
"I'm Kevin Potter."
"And I'm Fiona, and unfortunately, Gryffindor."
"Why do you not want to have a last name of Gryffindor? It is a well thought of family. And your ancestor helped create Hogwarts," Alanna said.
"I know, but when you're the first female of a family that wants to preserve its name with only one child, you get married to bad people. For instance, I'm the fiancée of Kaso there."
"Oh, I see." She nodded gravely.
"I hate my aunt, his mother, and I hate my fiancé, Kaso," Fiona continued.
"I understand. I would not like to be pre-married. What will you do if you find love?" she asked.
"Run away," Fiona said simply.
She was a nice sort. Alanna had good sense and understanding on her shoulders.
"Oh," she replied neutrally. It was impossible to know what she was thinking. "What house do you want to be in? I was thinking Ravenclaw. And Gryffindor," she added because of the two Gryffindors.
"Gryffindor," stated Kaso in a meek yet bold you-should-want-to-be-in- Gryffindor type of voice.
"I want to be in Ravenclaw," answered Kevin.
"Ravenclaw is a good house. You both would do well there," said Fiona. She ignored the daggers from Kaso.
"Where would you be, do you think?" asked Alanna.
"I could be in Slytherin, Gryffindor, or Ravenclaw," she replied. Her voice rose to suggest she like Ravenclaw the most.
"You are a disgrace to the name of Gryffindor," yelled the brown-haired, brown-eyed Kaso.
Fiona felt like bowing. Instead, she said, "I only mentioned I could, not that I want to."
He growled. But at that moment, the man who had been guiding the boats yelled, "DUCK!" They all did and found themselves in a tunnel.
Then to a bay, and finally they got up to the castle door.

A/N: I hope my little nose-obsession for Fiona doesn't bother anyone. I don't know why I put it in there. I don't have that sort of obsession. [Mine is height, hehe.]
Did this give some help as to what they look like? Did I show how annoying Kaso is yet? Did you like Alanna? Will you review? [At last, I question I can answer!] Yes! Tell me what you think I should work on, what I did well, and whatever else! I would even like it if someone comes up with a good Sorting Hat poem I can use. Otherwise I think I'll skip it.
