A/N: Yes, I am continuing with this story. See? A new chapter! Thank
you all my lovely reviewers, even though you probably don't even remember
reviewing.
Personal Space******
After meeting the captain, Dumbledore took the girls back out into the hallway. "Would you ladies like to see your quarters?" They both nodded. He led them down a staircase and along a few more corridors. Finally they stopped in front of a painting of Morgan le Fay. Jade smiled at this. "The password is 'Sarape'. Make yourselves comfortable. Goodday, Miss LaRosa, Miss Jade."
As Jade watched the headmaster walk back down the corridor, Emilia said, "Sarape. I wonder what that is." The painting opened to admit them to their new room for the majority of the summer.
A bunk bed filled most of the left side of the room. Along the opposite wall was a large wardrobe and a desk with a radio on it. In the middle of the floor lay their trunks. Directly across from the doorway there was a small window, which currently was showing a beautiful seascape.
"Enchanted," Jade observed aloud as she crossed over to the window. They were underwater currently for certain. She immediately claimed the top bunk with her jacket while Emilia was investigating the bathroom.
Jade had finished unpacking and was just putting away her clothes in the wardrobe when she noticed something. In the hanging section of the wardrobe, there was a piece of parchment with writing penned with green ink. She read the note out loud to Emilia.
"Dear girls,
I hope you find your room suitable. Dinner begins at 6. Please arrive a half-hour beforehand so we can inform you of your duties. I believe you will each find a set of robes in the second drawer. These are your current uniforms for meals. Thank you.
Albus Dumbledore
Emilia looked in the second drawer, indeed finding two sets of robes. Jade smiled before she read the postscript.
P.S. Station 2 on the radio is Wizarding Wireless. Station 6 is 24-hour quidditch games. Enjoy!
At that moment, there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it," said Emilia. Halfway up, she remembered, "Wait, we don't have a door."
The knocking came again. Following the sound, Jade traced it to a portrait of the Lady of the Lake near the wardrobe. Once again, there was a knocking. Jade knocked back. Someone laughed.
Stepping back, Jade looked at the painting. She noticed a small, discolored stone at the Lady's foot. Looking closer, she touched it. Suddenly the painting opened and Jade came face to face with Zach.
He had a huge grin on his face. "Howdy, neighbor!" Jade groaned and sat at the desk. But she was quite pleased when he attempted to cross into their room. Some force field kept him back. Emilia noticed this too.
"It's like the dorm rooms." Walking over to the portrait hole, she crossed into Zach's room with ease. "Ha, I was right."
As Emilia came back into the girls' room, Jade said to Zach, "Go away now. We have to get ready for dinner."
"When's dinner?"
"It said in the note."
Zach looked confused. "What note?"
"The note from Dumbledore. It's in the dresser." Zach wandered away from view in search of the unseen note. Quickly Jade closed the painting.
"Great, just what I need. A whole summer with Zach next door." Jade took out the robes and began to lay them out on the lower bunk.
Emilia sat there. "Why don't you like him? Yes, he's a little annoying, well actually very annoying and-"
"Exactly. I call the bathroom first!" She quickly stepped into the bathroom and shut the door before Emilia could protest. Sighing, she took her friend's seat at the desk and turned on the radio.
"Now he said station 6 was quidditch..."
A/N: Next chapter, dinner, and we listen to some radio. Yes, Julia, you will be on.
