"I hope she doesn't get into too much trouble." Harry turned to Ron and Hermione and Ginny on their way back to the common room, they go to the painting, "You're back again this year, I see." The large lady contemplated, "Well, what's the password?"
"I got this," Ginny scuttled forward, being very proud of the fact that she'd remembered the password this time, "SOLARIUM ALMUNI" she practically choked. "That's right," smiled the lady, who swung herself out of the way for the group of Gryffendors to enter.
They did and started heading in opposite directions, Harry and Ron to the left dormitories and Ginny and Hermione to the right.
Harry was halfway undressed when he turned to Ron, who was already in bed and about to fall asleep. "Ron," Harry whispered, "Did you see that new girl? The one with the long legs and beautiful hair?"
"You mean the one named Felimy? She's so pretty," Ron replied, being only half- awake.
"No, you idiot, the other one. She was placed in Slytherin."
"Y'know that Felimy has really pretty skin," Ron mumbled, "tan and flawle-" he had fallen asleep, leaving Harry to his thoughts, and himself to his dreams.
"Draco," whispered Sidero, after having snuck into the boys dormitories, after making sure everyone had gone to sleep, "DRACO," She whispered a little louder and gave a slight shove.
"Mmph" he graoned, "SHHH," Sidero warned.
"Whatdoyouwant," he murmured.
"I can't sleep," she complained, "Do you know any sleep spells?"
"Yes," he replied, "But they're for eternal sleep, and at the moment I don't feel like using them on you. Don't make me change my mind!" He rolled over.
"But Drrraaaccccoooo," Sidero whined, "pleeeeeease?" He shighed, turned over, and said, "Fine, I'll meet you in the common room, hold on." She left.
After she had gone he got out of bed and pulled on a shirt. He walked into the common room to find his sister curled in a ball, asleep on the couch. He smiled, just like a kitten, he thought, just in my baby sisters form. He tiptoed over to her and lifted her off the couch gently. Her head lolled back, and for fear of hurting her, he rocked it against his chest. She started and he walked her into the girl's dormitory. He looked for her bags, and put her on the empty bed near them. He was a little concerned at how thrashed her bed had been, as if she'd experienced a really bad nightmare. He scowled and turned to leave, when, "Draco, please don't leave yet," stumbled out of Sidero's lips.
"It's okay, I'll stay until you fall asleep." He grabbed a chair, put it by her bed, put his hands behind his head, and leaned back. "Thank You," Sidero murmured.
"Don't get used to it," he stated, "I won't do this often." He opened an eye, she was asleep. He'd meant to get up; he'd meant to put the chair back. He'd meant to nimbly walk out of the girls' dormitories; he'd meant to go back to his own bed and sleep. But the next thing he knew, he was asleep.
The next morning, Gryffindor house woke up to two new surprises. On two of the common room couches laid two girls. They definitely didn't look like they came from the same family. One was blonde, with tan skin, and she was tall. Very unlike her was a darker skinned girl with dark brown hair, who was somewhat shorter.
The blonde shifted as an area of her hair fell in her face. Ginny giggled and Ron clamped a hand down on his sister's mouth, "Quiet" he hissed, and let go. The darker haired girl jumped at that and woke up. Her eyes widened when she took in the sight before her: her friend still asleep and the whole of the Gryffindor house staring in their direction from the steps leading to the common room from the bedrooms. She smiled and explained, "Hi, I'm Thaddea Goulart, and this is my friend," she motioned toward the other girl, when she noticed the sleeping girl was just that, still sleeping. When Gryffindor House (being very collective) looked, they all just stared wide-eyed. Where there was once a blonde haired head, now laid a curled up black something.
Thaddea got up and walked over to her friend. She picked up the something and set it on the floor. It stood up, stretched and then blinked vibrant green eyes at the house. They all soon realized it to be a very fluffy cat. The house was distracted by the next noise, which sounded something like a gurgle crossed with a dying giraffe, and turned to the other girl. She was sitting up now, and her eyes were wide. They were the same exact color as the cat's eyes. She glanced around liquidly, "Hi, I'm Nukpana Wathari."
Thaddea stood up and exclaimed, "So who are you?" Nukpana laid her head back down.
The Gryffindor's new Prefect stepped forward, "My name is Brandon Grantski, I am the Prefect for this house and I would quite like to know what in the world you two are doing here, how you got in here, and why you slept on the couches?"
Nukpana nudged Thaddea a bit hard, "You tell them, I'm goin' back to sleep." With that, she turned back over and the cat jumped to her hip, curled up and joined her in dream world.
"Okay, well, uh, we got lost on our way to platform 9 ¾. Us, and about six other people, so we ended up having to take the train after it got back from dropping you guys all off. We didn't get here until about 5:00 in the morning. All 8 of us went to some lair behind a statue of a phoenix. Well, there they brought out this hat, and got sorted up into our different rooms. Nukpana, here, and I were sorted into something called Gryffindor," she paused to think and look around, "Which I can only assume is this place, and , well here we are."
"Well," Ron said from his position at the top of the stairs, "I guess the only questions are, what year are you, and, who would you like to show you around the school?"
"Hmmmm," Thaddea surveyed Gryffindor, and then said, "you" she had pointed to Harry, who then smiled, "I'd be glad to show you around," he said.
"Oh, and by the way," she pointed to herself, "I'm a sixth year, and she's," Thaddea pointed a thumb over her shoulder, "a fifth. I don't think she'll be awake in time for her first class. But don't try and wake her up," she warned, "all I'm saying is that she's very good in Charms and Potions. She hates to be disturbed while she's asleep." Many simply took her word and stayed far away from Nukpana's bed.
As luck would have it, every different house had 2 new surprises. Which was found out the next morning. "I have to admit," Professor Dumbledore spoke in hushed tones to Professor McGonagall, "I have gotten so distracted with business, out of your knowledge, that I mearly glanced at all who were coming to Hogwarts this year. I did say sorry to those who were late, or weren't called, didn't I? But I guess just let us get through our first day." He clapped his hands and breakfast was "served."
As all the houses were eating, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Keres walked into the dining room, trailed by Thaddea. They were all talking and giggling as if they were old friends. They took their seats and started eating. A few minuets after that, Nukpana sauntered in as if she owned the place. Her cat trailed her. She sat next to Keres and started talking to Ron, Harry, and Hermione. "I'm not sure if you told my friend your names," she put forward a hand, "but I noticed you guys first, so I thought it'd be okay if I sat here."
Hermione smiled and shook the hand, "Of course it's okay," she took initiative as usual, "I'm Hermione, the person sitting to the right of you is Keres, and the left, he's Ron. Oh, and this is Harry," she pointed to her left.
"Nice to meet you all," Nukpana shook each hand in turn.
They all started eating, when suddenly, "Potter, aren't you going to your quidditch practice?" came from a boy standing behind Harry, "You'll be late if you don't get going." Draco sneered and let his eyes linger on the blonde across the table, then walked away.
"Ah man, that's right," sighed Harry and Ron in unison. Over the course of the summer Ron had become a quidditch member, he was now a chaser for Gryffindor. They both stood up and and walked out of the room without another word.
"If I wanted to be on the team," started Nukpana, "how would I go about getting a position?" she asked Hermione.
"You'd probably have to talk to Fred or George Weasley." She pointed to the two.
"Thanks," Nukpana tilted her head and smiled, "I would also like to know the name of that blond who was over here just now, if it's not too much trouble."
Hermione's mouth dropped open, and her eyes went wide, "I'm not sure you really want to," she said, "On a second thought, I KNOW you don't want to." The cat jumped on the table and started eating some leftover bacon.
"Elennar! Down!" the cat gave her a look of contempt and jumped to the newly vacant seat next to her. "No, really, please tell me," Nukpana had begun to blush, feeling very stupid and insecure as she placed some small bacon on the seat for Elennar.
"Well, if you insist." Hermione sighed, "His name is Draco Malfoy, and I would advise that you steer clear of him, anyway, I'd better hurry up, or I won't be able to talk to Mrs. Fram about the class I'm taking with her. I'll see you later, ok? Anyone in here will be glad to help you find your way around, we're mainly a friendly school! See you." She smiled and picked up her books, then walked out of the room.
"How are you fairing?" a tall, slender, brunette girl had walked up behind Nukpana and Keres, giving the aura an odd look.
"I'm good, do you know where any of your classes are, Arelen?" answered Nukpana.
"DUH, no." Arelen answered.
"I could help," Keres piped in, "Your first class is out the doors to the left and down the long corridor, just follow the kid in front of you, from there you'll have Harry in your class and he'll be in your next class too!" She smiled, stood, and nearly floated out of the room.
"Right then," Arelen blinked at Nukpana
"Well good, we'll get lost together, what's your first class?" They both picked up their books and started out of the great hall, Elennar tagging along.
"Um, let's see," Arelen pulled out a sheet of paper with all her classes, "it's Potions, teacher: Severus Snape, room: Dungeon."
"Same here, let's find someone who has the same class." Just then Fred and George Weasley came up behind the two girls.
"Hi, you're the new one in our house, right?" George asked Nukpana.
"Uh, yes." she answered.
"We'll show you around if you like," Fred offered, his eyes intent on Arelen.
"Sure," Arelen turned and her gaze hit Fred's. They both stopped dead in their tracks as George pointed Nukpana in the direction of the Dungeon.
"Uh, my n-name's F-Fred," stammered Fred.
"Oh," Arelen blushed, "I'm Arelen, what house are you in?" She dropped her gold-ish brown eyes and giggled a little.
"I'm in Gryffindor. You?" he answered.
"I'm in Ravenclaw," she said a little rushed.
"Oh, cool, I'll sh-"
"So George, Hermione informed me that you'd be the two guys to talk to about getting on the quidditch team?" Nukpana looked at him.
He smiled then slapped his head simultaneously with Fred, "Quidditch!" They moaned together, "Well we'll have to be off then."
Nukpana walked with (More or less dragged then led because her knees weren't exactly working after her encounter. She'd just met the first {or possibly the second} boy in her life to ever make her heart flutter, weak in the knees, do I have to go on) Arelen towards the Dungeon after waving goodbye to the twins. Arelen smiled and waved at Fred, who blushed and turned to his twin as they ran outside towards the Quidditch field.
Nukpana rolled her eyes, and they both ducked into the dungeon to "enjoy" their first potions class.
YAY! My chappies read so much easier now, don't they!! Jenna .
