~* The first day of Class *~
When they got to the portrait of the fat lady, Harry and Hermione realized that they didn't know what the new password was. Luckily, the Weasley twins came out of the hole to wait for them to get back.
"Hullo, I'm Fred and this is George." Said one of the twins
"Hey! Nice to meet you! I'm Eve and that's Steven" she replied, motioning behind her, "We're from America"
"Well, it's great to have some new faces around here!" exclaimed the other twin. Eve smiled and they separated, girls going to their dorm and guys to theirs. Eve and Steven had decided to meet downstairs at 8:15 the next morning, to give themselves plenty of time to re-find the great hall, eat, and find their first class.
Eve strolled up to her new room and to her new four poster. She decided to go ahead and unpack the stuff she would need for the next morning. The CHS kids had been to Diagon Alley only a few days before getting aboard the Hogwarts Express. She unpacked her trunk, neatly organizing her books; parchment; quills; and plenty of ink in her new satchel, bewitched to hold anything without changing the size, shape, or weight.
As she unpacked her make-up, Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil ran over to marvel at her collection. She had brought everything (make-up wise) she owned ("ya never know when ya need it!") she had enough to paint the entire castle. She finally put her stuff away and Hermione came over to her bed.
"Hi" said Hermione, "I don't think we properly met earlier, I'm Hermione Granger"
"Hey, I'm Eve Green," said Eve, outstretching her hand "nice to meet you! Wanna sit?" she asked, patting a spot next to her on the bed.
"Sure." Replied Hermione, sitting down, "Why are you just now beginning Hogwarts?
"I'm not completely sure myself," Eve began, "All I know, is that one minute, I'm a normal teenager in band class and the next, I'm a muggle-born American witch attending Hogwarts."
"Who was that guy you were with?" Hermione asked with a small grin, that Eve saw right away.'awww, Hermione's gotta crush! I don't blame her, Steven is cute!' she thought to herself.
"Oh, that's Steven, he's one of my cousins." Replied Eve
"He doesn't talk much, does he" asked Hermione
"Actually, he'll talk your ear off-he's just scared y'all are gonna make fun of his accent." Explained Eve
"Well, aren't you afraid?" Hermione asked
"Nah, I'm used to it!" laughed Eve as they got into their beds. Eve was asleep in no time, but the last thing she could remember thinking when she woke up was how good that bed felt!!!
* * *
The next morning, Eve woke up at 7:00 and took a shower. The other girls woke up while she was drying her hair. She walked out of the shower room and began fixing her hair and putting on make-up. She brushed her, now curly, hair in place; put on a last bit of lip-gloss; and stood back to gaze in the mirror. Finally satisfied, she pulled on the uniform she had put out the night before and un-rapped the brand new robes from Madam Malkin's. When she had the plaid skirt, blouse, and tie on, she screamed at her reflection.
"OH MY GOD!!!" she yelled, loud enough to wake the whole of Gryffindor tower. Hermione rushed to her side.
"What's the matter?" asked Hermione, clearly worried that her new friend was going to have a nervous breakdown right then and there.
"Look at me!" Yelled Eve, "I look like my mother dressed me! This has got to go!" she added pulling out her wand. After mumbling a few well chosen words, her skirt shrank in length until it would barely cover her butt if she bent down and her blouse shrank a good 5 sizes to hug her curves in just the right way. Finally looking satisfied, she put on her knee socks and pulled her robes around her along with the Gryffindor patch she had found on her chair. She left most of the buttons undone so the rest of her outfit could be seen. After placing the hat delicately on her head, she and Hermione ran out of the 5th year girl's dorm and down the stairs-slowing down 3 from the bottom, so as not to look too anxious to meet their guys, Harry and Ron for Hermione and Steven for Eve.
When they reached the ground floor, the three guys were laughing and joking as if long time friends. Harry and Ron had apparently accepted Steven into their friendship.
"Hey!" yelled Steven when he saw Eve and Hermione at the foot of the stairs. "I just discovered all these curses and stuff to do with this thing!!" he exclaimed, holding out his wand.
"Great! You do remember the counter-curses, right? Asked Eve with a mischievous smirk
"Uh, I guess, why?" he asked
"Good, now I won't feel guilty when I give you.THIS! RICTUSEMPRA!!!" she yelled as pink sparks flew out of her wand and hit him right in the stomach. They all rolled on the floor laughing as Steven was gasping for air from the tickling charm she had put on him. Between bits of giggles, Eve sputtered the counter-curse as she tried to catch her breath.
Finally, they all walked into the Great Hall. And after Steven criticized the length of her skirt ("doesn't leave much the imagination, does it?!?" she had asked slapping her bare thigh) they realized they only had a half hour to eat and get to their 1st class (Transfiguration), They hurried through their breakfast and leisurely made their way toward the Transfiguration room and sat down together.
When all the students were in the room, an unnoticed black tabby cat strolled out from under the Professor's desk. Eve noticed that they were apparently having class with the Slytherin's and took a moment to wave at Heather and Chessy, who waved back enthusiastically. It so happens that they were sitting behind Draco Malfoy and his cronies. Eve went back into conversation with Ron about Quidditch, until Hermione nudged her.
"Draco Malfoy is trying to get your attention," she whispered
"Say what?" asked Eve, "who?"
"Him" replied Hermione, pointing at a cute silver-blond haired boy with a flirtatious grin on his face. He was waving, and as Hermione had said, was trying to get her attention.
She looked over at him and, even though something in the back of her mind told her to avoid him at all costs, smiled. Suddenly, he got up and strolled over to where she was sitting. Standing in front of her, he transfigured a bronze sickle into a bouquet of daisy's [Eve's favorite flower], but these weren't ordinary flowers, they were all sorts of amazing, beautiful colors. Eve gasped as they transformed. Draco then bowed low to her, introducing himself, and kissed her hand.
"Even though that was an amazing and perfect example of transfiguration, Mr. Malfoy, please take your seat." said the tabby, before morphing into the stern face of Professor McGonagall. "I think you have flattered one of our new students enough for one class period."
Draco dragged back to his seat, as Eve plucked a pink daisy and tucked it behind her ear, before putting them, carefully, into her bag. McGonagall's class was interesting enough, the bell rang and 4 of the 5 got up, heading for Herbology. Draco had kept Eve behind. A little ways down the hall, she caught up with the others.
"What? It took until after the first class for you to get a new boyfriend? You're losing your touch! You normally would have had one before we left the train!" joked Steven
"Yeah, I wish" replied Eve "He just stopped me to say that he hopes I like Hogwarts and offered to help me in any way he could. I thanked him and put a flower in his collar." She added, laughing at how hopeless she was.
"You want to be careful with that lot," warned Harry, " their muggle haters and Malfoy's one of the worst!"
"Ya know, I was wondering how those two friends of yours got into Slytherin." Said Ron, " I mean, they're not pure-blood, are they?"
"I truly don't know, I was thinking about it last night and realized that neither of them have ever told me about their families." replied Eve
The rest of the day ran smoothly, after Herbology, and lunch, they had Potions, with the most beloved teacher in the school.Snape.
"As you have all noticed," said Snape in his evil, smooth voice, "We have a few new faces among us. 2 in each house, Heather and Chestnut in Slytherin and Eve and Steven in ::pause:: Gryffindor." He smiled at Heather and Chessy, but scowled at Eve and Steven.
"Green and Green, twins? Or are you married?" he asked mockingly, while there were snickers behind him
"Neither," croaked Eve, "cousins.close" she added, feeling Steven kick her under the desk.
"You two must be very close, considering the way you both came into the Great Hall last night." Sneered Snape with a smirk.
Eve tried to remember the night before; how she had linked arms with him and Heather, she was scared!
"We were all scared to death last night!" she exclaimed, defending herself, "The witch and wizard thing didn't hit us until we walked in there!"
"Why were you so scared?" he asked silkily
"Picture it," she said, "you're a 1st year witch, in your 5th year grade, you walk into a room that was already whispering and all of a sudden, they see you, Everyone pointing and whispering, it's a little nerve wracking!"
"You seem tense, Miss Green, did you not get enough sleep last night?" he asked innocently, clearly loving getting her all worked up
Eve snorted, whispering "whatever, leave me alone you anal retentive bustard!" under her breath. ~*~ The rest of the class ran smoothly as well as the rest of the week. Finally, it was Friday. Eve sent an owl to Chase, Dan, and Heather, telling them to floo to the Gryffindor common room at midnight that night. They were to bring the other 3 and a blanket with their house seal on it to cover up with.
That night, the common room finally emptied, Eve and Steven waited at the fireplace for the rest of the crew. At about 12:05, they were all there, sitting comfortably in the big arm chairs. They snuggled under the blankets in their pj's.
"So, how was y'alls first week?" asked Eve
"Good" they all replied, sounding bored.
"K, now that's over with," Eve said, relieved "on to the gossip!" It was amazing what an effect that one little word had on the rest of the group.
"Well, you have won the heard of Justin Finch-Fletchy." Said Dan
"And Terry Boot" added Jeff
"Let's not forget Draco Malfoy!" declared Heather, Eve blushed furiously.
"I wont deny it," she said calmly "Boy look good!" at this, everybody laughed.
"Is he a togduchgadible?[A/N: gibberish for "touchable" meaning guys with cute 'touchable' butts.heehee]" asked Chessy. Eve blushed furiously and wouldn't answer.
"But it's official," Steven began "Harry Potter is head over heals for you!" at this, Eve noticed a slight shuffling at a far corner of the room.
"Tell us!" exclaimed Debbie, "What do you think of the `famous Harry Potter`?!?"
"Well," Eve began, "He's cute, and has a good body. He's the sweetest thing! And those eyes ::groan::, they make me melt!" she said, dramatically fake fainting and landing on Chase
"I guess we better call it a night," said Jeff sleepily
"Yeah, we've discussed everybody in our class and most of the school!" agreed Dan, and they all floo'd back to their own common rooms.
"Goodnight, Steven" said Eve, hugging him
"Yeah, night" he answered and headed up the spiral staircase, Eve lingered.
When she heard the sound of a distant door shut, she walked over to her own staircase. Suddenly she turned back to the far corner.
"Goodnight, Harry" she called and blew him a kiss. Then, just visible, she could see a hand appear and pretend to catch the kiss.
