"Gryffindor!"
Everyone cheered, especially the Gryffindor table. Brianne almost laughed out loud at the look on Harry's face of an ear to ear smile and the look of silent adoration on "that, that-oh that one boy's name, with the red hair" Brianne thought.
She gave a sort of half smile, which the Gryffindors took as a smile that she was glad to be there, but shy, and the rest of the houses took as a sadness that she was in Gryffindor.
As she passed by all the tables, Brianne tried to look at everyone with a soft smile, and she could feel on the pairs of eyes looking at her from behind.
One boy didn't stare at her like all the others did. "What's this! Why isn't he idolizing me like everyone else?!?" she thought. The boy was busily inspecting his perfect nails. "Hmm.I like the hair, blonde is so in, and.oh my god! I don't think it's bleached. And.nice muscles I must admit, but he won't notice me.must be a thing with the Slytherins.Oh well, I love a challenge."
Finally she made her way over to the Gryffindor table, where the red headed boy and Harry shoved Hermione off the bench to make a place for Brianne.
"Oh you two, yours such gentleman." Brianne smiled at both of them, and the red headed boy blushed deep crimson.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't see you there." Brianne turned to Hermione and smirked. "Did I, uh, take your spot?"
"That's okay," Harry answered just as Hermione opened her mouth to yell. "Hermione can sit somewhere else.Hermione, go sit by the Creevy brothers, okay?"
Her face went beet red as she turned to sit between two boys that looked smallish and furry, like rats.
Brianne didn't know what wasn't funnier during the meal Ron (so THAT'S what the boys name is. Brianne thought) spilling his goblet of pumpkin juice on her plate or Harry spending the rest of the night yelling at him and apologizing to Brianne because they were both so embarrassed.
Finally the feast ended, and the prefects who turned out to be (ironically) Hermione and Ron led Brianne up to the Gryffindor common room. She was certain Hermione would've left her behind if Harry and Ron hadn't been right behind her the entire time.
The common room looked, big and comfy, and Brianne was so tired she almost fell asleep in one of the cushy couches.
Looking up at the big staircases that led to her knew room, Brianne smiled with a new idea. "So," she said. "Which one of you big boys wanna help me carry my bags to my new room?"
All the boys started volunteering, till Hermione said with a tight smile, "I'm sorry, didn't you know? Boys can't go up into the girls dormitory."
"Too bad. Guess I'll just have to go up to theirs and visit them, won't I boys?" Brianne quirked an eyebrow at Harry, Ron, and the rest of the boys there.
Hermione looked like she was about to scream, but she managed to control herself. She grabbed one of Brianne's bags, muttered "I'll help you, you little." then started up the stairs. Halfway up her hand 'slipped' and the suitcase fell open at the foot of the stair.
Brianne wasn't surprised. "Hermione," she whispered with a little tear in her voice, "How could you do that?"
Hermione stuttered not knowing how to counter someone when they weren't yelling.
Ron looked at Hermione horrified, and everyone stepped around her. "To hell with Dumbledore's rules," Harry said and muttered a quick spell under his breath. It seemed to work, so he grabbed two of the bags and dashed up the stairs. Ron quickly followed taking two more and the one at the bottom of the stairs.
By now the staircase was shaking in its want to turn back into a slide, and by the time Harry and Ron were done the spell seemed to crack, and the stairs turned back to normal.
Brianne smiled the biggest smile she could muster while laughing inside. "Oh thank you both so much!" She gave the both a big hug and an innocent peck on the cheek.
Hermione sat glowering in the corner, and as Brianne passed her she whispered under her breath, "Guess your plan didn't work did it? Too late, they're all mine."
Stripping off her robe and pulling on a nightgown only took a matter minutes. She fell asleep almost as quickly, with the sound of Hermione gnashing her teeth together two beds over to lull Brianne to sleep.
