Xel's head hung low as she walked toward her peers. A short, flamed-haired
girl appeared in front of her, smiling broadly.
"Hey, Xel! I didn't get a post from you all summer. I thought something 'ad 'appened to you! You really shouldn't worry me like that. you know how I get sometimes when you ingor-" she stopped abruptly as Xel swiftly glued her pallid hand over the girl's mouth.
"Alannah, just. shuddup." She breathed, flicking her gold-tinted eyes down to the freckled face of the girl. Alannah's brown eyes were full of worry, but a joy was hidden secretly beneath it. She yanked Xels hand off her face, taking the taller girl into a tight embrace.
"Eee. Xel. I missed you. I feel so alone when you don't talk to me. But then, you do this just about every year." Her voice drifted off before Alannah had finished her sentence. "Aye, but it's good to see you again anyways."
Xel forced a smile. It was nice to see her friend again, but being
back at Hogwarts wasn't that fun. "It's nice to see you again too,
Allanah."

The two entered the Great Hall side-by-side, but no words passed between them. Xel took a seat at the Ravenclaw table, as Alannah took a place at Gryffindor table. And Xel watched her as she started a deep conversation with James and Sirius. Rolling her eyes, Xel turned away to look for another sign of her only other two friends. But neither of their faces appeared in the Slytherin crowd.
It's really hard having all three of my friends in different Houses. She thought, sighing deeply as she waited for the Sorting Ceremony to begin.
To be continued. XD
