Chapter 2, Caroline Tyler
Anthony rolled around in his bed. He couldn't sleep. He couldn't even eat the feast they had in the Great Hall. Anthony was hungry now. He sat up and crept across the room, trying not to wake anyone up. Anthony reached the stairs and walked down. He remembered the head of Hufflepuff, Derek Walton, saying something about a refrigerator. Anthony reached the bottom of the stairs and took a look around the common room. There were bulletin boards and tables. On the right side of the room, there was a fire burning and some couches overlooking the fire. Anthony didn't see a refrigerator any ware, but the fire did look inviting. Anthony walked to the couch and was taken back by surprise. There was already someone on the couch! The girl looked up at Anthony in surprise. "Hello." Anthony said.
"Hi." the girl said. "What are you doing up so late?" she asked in curiosity.
"I couldn't sleep. I'm new here, a first year." Anthony answered.
"So am I!" the girl said. "My name is Caroline Tyler. I couldn't sleep either."
"I'm Anthony." Anthony said. "Anthony Potter."
"Something about that name." Caroline said, flipping her long, brown hair aside. "Are you the son of the headmaster or something?" Anthony smiled.
"Yeah, I'm the son of Harry Potter."
"That name.I've heard it before." Caroline said. "Is Harry Potter some famous sports player or something?" Anthony gaped at her. How could she not know who Harry Potter was?
"Hello!" a voice echoed down the stairs leading to the boy's dormitory. It was Derek, the head boy of Hufflepuff. He stepped in to the common room. "What are you two doing?" he asked.
"We couldn't sleep." Caroline answered.
"Well, get back to your dormitories. You have classes tomorrow and first up is potions." The two scrambled up and started walking to the stairways.
"See you tomorrow." Caroline whispered in to Anthony's ear and hurried up to the girl's dormitories. Anthony followed Derek up to his own dormitory, where Derek continued up to his. Anthony smiled. It was a good feeling when you have just made a friend.
