Chapter 4: Getting Settled III

Feral's Night:

Feral left Jocelyn and Joaquin at the Great Hall, going up a separate flight of stairs with the other Ravenclaw and Gryffindors. She followed silently walking behind the Ravenclaw prefect Terry Boot. Her mind was running the memories of her and Aiden. She wiped a tear away. 'This isn't the time to think about that, you need to enjoy yourself.' Feral thought to herself.

"Halloo?" A voice startled Feral's thoughts.

"OH! Sorry bout that." Feral apologized. "My name is -"

"Feral Shada. I know." She interrupted. "My name is Padma Patil. Ravenclaw fifth year. Nice to meet you." Padma smiled.

"Nice to meet you as well Padma." Feral smiled back.

"I know it's rough having a sibling in another house. My twin sister is in Gryffindor. Pavarti." Padma's gentle green eyes turned sad. "But it's fine, it helps other people in Ravenclaw and Gryffindor get along. I still get to see her." Padma relaxed a little. So did Feral.

"Yah, it's no big deal really. Well. I guess it is. My brother AND sister are both in another house. Ough, I will talk to you about this later." Feral stopped talking when they arrived to the Ravenclaw Common Room entrance.

"The password is 'truth'." Said the adorable prefect. "Welcome first years and new students.to the Ravenclaw Common Room." Terry said winking at Feral. "Girls dormitories are upstairs to the right, boys the same on the left. Your things have been brought up and placed at the foot of your beds. I bid you good evening." Terry turned a heel and went up the main staircase.

"Come on Feral, let's go meet the other girls." Padma giggled pulling Feral up five flights of circular stairs. The arrived to the fifth flight and took a right. They walked right up to the door with a bronze plaque that said "Fifth Year Girls Dormitories". They entered while the other girls were still downstairs getting caught up with friends.

"The other's will be up soon. We can take this time to get acquainted. This is your bed." Padma said patting the bed in the middle four other beds.

"This room in fantastic!" Feral said examining the detail. The room was an octagon shape. In between each of the five beds were identical bronze nightstands. Behind the beds window seats held extra pillows. There were pictures around the walls of the Ravenclaw graduating classes. There was a door to the left of the main door leading up a flight to the bathroom shared with the fourth and sixth year girls. To the right of the door was the expansive fireplace, connected to the main common room.

Feral went and sat on her bed facing the door. Padma sat next to her on her bed. "So, where did you come from?"

"Oh, well I -" But she stopped by the rush of three female voices entering the room. They stopped in their tracks.

"Oh! Hi!" One girl walked forward and shook Feral's hand. "My name is Evangeline Sireel, most people call me Eve." Eve had straight blonde hair with blue streaks that matched her blue eyes. She was short, but cute.

"Hey, Hey now." Another girl moved jokingly in front of Eve. This girl had waist long chocolate brown hair that curled at the bottom. Her eyes were a light cinnamon color. "The names Lisa Turpin. I am WAY cooler than Eve here." She laughed. Eve pushed her to the floor and they began wrestling in a playful fashion.

"ANYWAY! Hi. I'm Amanda Brocklehurst. People call me Mandy." Amanda had short brown hair that flipped out at the bottom with blonde tips. Her eyes were dark green and expressive. Right now she was genuinely amused at her friends who were still fighting and laughing on the floor. "Nice to meet you finally Feral." She said shaking Feral's hand. "Don't mind them, they are like sisters, so they fight all the time." Mandy laughed.

"No, I wont." Feral smiled. She was easing into the new surroundings. Getting to know the girls. Getting to know ALL the girls once Evangeline and Lisa stopped fighting.

They talked until it was very late. Evangeline, Lisa, and Mandy all fell asleep, leaving Padma and Feral to talk more. Padma rolled on her side in her bed to face Feral. Feral lay on her back, staring at the dark blue hangings above her.

"So." Padma started. "What were you talking about earlier."

"When?" Feral asked.

"You know, before we got to the CR?" Padma questioned.

"Oh. yah that." Feral rolled over to face Padma in her bed. "I was talking about my brother and sister. Well, my stepbrother and stepsister. As much as I love them, I always have. It's just hard living with twins. They are so much alike, and I just feel left out on occasion." Feral sighed.

"Yah, I know how that is. I feel like that with my sister, Pavarti. Her and Lavender are 'so close', like sister they say." Padma sighed as well. "I just feel like I have lost my sister almost."

"Oh I'm sorry Padma. I defiantly know how it is. I think, that with Joey and Joz in the same house. that they might leave me out." Feral rolled onto her back. "But hey, now we have each other to whine to!" She laughed.

"No kidding, I think we might be doing that a lot this year too." Padma giggled.

"*Laugh* Why do you say that?" Feral questioned.

"Oh, I just KNOW Pavi and Lavender will have something going on. Harry Potter wise. Pavarti has had a crush on him for a while. And Lavender does too, did you know that?" Padma giggled quietly. Their voices had risen without them knowing.

"No. I can't say I knew that." Feral joked.

"Oh yah." Padma laughed and rolled on her back. "This year will be fun Fe. Don't worry."

"I wont. It will be good. Hey, you called me Fe. How did you know my nickname?" She asked.

"That's your nickname? Oh, it just sounded natural. I don't know." She laughed again. "Okay, we need sleep. I know tomorrow is Sunday, but you are going to meet people. I'll make you." Padma joked.
A/n: Yah, Yah. Here she is Feral in her fullest. She's sweet, she's funny, and she aint after your money! Corny. We'll see what's in store for her later.
