Hogwarts was nothing like Beldam's. Beldam's was small and plain; Hogwarts
was huge and exciting in a way. As Angelina walked through the large oak
doors into the entrance hall, she saw an old man with white hair and a long
beard waiting.
"Miss Johnson, I presume?" He asked with a smile on his face. Angelina nodded her head and the old man started walking. Nervously, she followed.
"I'm professor Dumbledore, I'm the headmaster here." He said as they turned a corner into a long passageway. There were paintings on the walls. She recognized some from History lessons with her mother, some were of children and they bowed or curtsied as Angelina passed. Around another corner she saw some people. They all looked about the same age, about 16 or 17. Angelina nervously pulled her hood over her head to cover her face. Dumbledore made his way towards them. "Good evening why aren't you all at supper? Angelina, I'd like you t meet Katie Bell, Lee Jordan, George Weasley, Fred Weasley and Alicia Spinnet. They will be in your year, and house as a matter of fact." Dumbledore smiled as Angelina took each of their hands. Slowly, she pulled the hood off and smiled at the five people in front of her.
"We were just on our way to the great hall, Angelina, why don't you come with us?" Katie Bell said anxiously.
"Um. Ok." Angelina said nervously.
"Why don't you all go along, Angelina, you have some papers to sign for me." There was a twinkle in Dumbledore's eye.
She smiled at the teenagers before following Dumbledore. The 5 of them walked towards the Great Hall, arms linked. The main topic was their following and final year of Hogwarts and the Founders' Day Ball. "I've got a date." Katie Bell said smugly.
"No you haven't, I haven't asked you yet." Said George Weasley, smiling confusedly.
"That's right, I'm going with Roger Davies." Katie said cheerfully. George stared at her with disbelief.
"Ouch, that had to hurt." Alicia joked.
"You back stabbing TRAITOR!" Oliver Wood, who was sitting next to Alicia, said angrily.
"Kates, you're fraternizing with the enemy!" George said disappointedly.
"Just because Wood doesn't like him doesn't mean he's the enemy. Besides, look at him, he's like- sooo goddamn sexy." Alicia said. Both of the girls turned around to look at Roger who was having a food fight with his friends at the Ravenclaw table. Angelina appeared at the doorway, looking around anxiously.
"Oi! Angelina, over here!" Katie yelled. Everyone turned to look at her then at Angelina, who smiled and made her way over.
"Who's that?" Oliver asked with mild interest.
"New girl, she's really cool." Alicia said enthusiastically
"Alicia, scoot your bootie," Katie said turning to Alicia. Alicia moved over. As Angelina approached, Katie patted the seat beside her, grinning.
"Hey there, Katie- right?" Angelina said smiling as she sat down next to the blonde.
"Yeah. Oh this is Oliver Wood, don't mind his sulking- one of the chasers on Gryffendor quidditch team just quit. She was scared of getting seriously injured- that's her over there." Katie said pointing at a fragile looking girl, who looked about twelve.
"Do you play quidditch?" Oliver asked suddenly- causing everyone to jump.
"A little- but I haven't been on a broom for ages! At my old school, I used to play besom hockey. but I wasn't that good." Angelina smiled.
"What school where you at?" George asked, looking at his food.
"Bedlam's, its in London. But I got home schooled for a while." Angelina said.
"Hey Angelina, look at that guy over there, do you think he's hot?" Alicia said, pointing at Roger Davies, she had a mischievous look on her face.
" Yeah," She smiled, "OK maybe not all that hot." She added at the look on Oliver's face.
"You girls are all the same!" George yelled angrily.
"Don't mind George, he's just sour because Katie's going out with Mr. Popular Jock over there." Fred smiled.
"You got the jock part right." George mumbled under his breath.
"I'm not going out with him, he's just my date for the ball." Katie blushed. At that moment, Roger came up behind her, immediately wrapping his arms around her and kissing her neck.
"Wanna come with me to the lake?" He whispered in her ear.
"Yeah, Roger, this is Angelina, Angelina- Roger." Katie introduced them to each other.
"Hey." Angelina said, shaking Roger's hand.
"Hi." Roger said. Katie got up and exited the hall with him.
"Not going out, hey?" George said icily.
"They make such a cute couple." Angelina said, staring after them. "Umm.But she'd look better with George." She said quickly, seeing the look on George's face.
The rest of dinner passed quickly. They mostly talked about Hogwarts and Bedlam's. But not once did Angelina mention Zach. 'They can't find out.' She thought as they walked towards Gryffindor tower.
Later, as she lay in bed, her thoughts drifted to Zach. 'He's probably asleep' She thought smiling. "Angelina, are you still awake?" Alicia asked.
"Yeah." Angelina replied.
"I can't sleep. You wanna go downstairs?"
"Yeah sure," Angelina said, getting up.
Downstairs, Fred, George and Lee were sitting around one of the smaller tables, counting their latest inventions. "Better not try any of those on us." Alicia said.
"No, we have a target, his initials being RD." Fred smiled.
"The ultimate prank." Alicia read. "Whatever you do, Katie won't fall outta love with him." George looked disappointed at this comment. "Anyway, she isn't the only one who is going to the ball with someone else. I'm going with Diggory." The boys' faces fell as they looked at the girls.
"Alicia how could you! Diggory, of all people, you choose Diggory! You're a disgrace to us proud Gryffindors! I'm not speaking to you anymore!" Fred yelled.
"Well Fred, last I heard you were going with that Ravenclaw girl, what's her name. Alison!" Alicia replied.
"That's a blatant lie! She asked me! I said no! Angelina, you should really stop hanging out with these traitors. Hang with us. Alicia, go away!" Fred smiled.
"Fine, I'm tired anyway! G'night guys. Angie, just humor them for a while." Alicia said, smiling. Then she headed for the stairs.
"Angelina, who do you think is hotter, me or Fred?" George asked smiling.
" This is a hard one. Umm. well, I guess I'd like a mixture of the two of you, Fred's eye's and nose. And George's Hair and lips. Maybe I should bring up the fact that the two of you are identical?" Angelina laughed.
"Yeah, well. At least George is handsome! I don't know what I'd do if I had an ugly identical twin!" Fred laughed. Before they knew it, it was 3am. George and Lee went up to bed, leaving Fred and Angelina.
"Are you going to the ball?" Fred asked her.
"No, I can't." She smiled.
"Why not?" Fred asked.
"I- uh . . . my mom wants me there for the holidays because . . . uh . . . we have an annual function and my gran'll be really upset that I'm not there." Angelina said quickly. It was like Fred could tell she was lying because he kept looking at her suspiciously.
"Okay, well, Its usually really cool, only 5th years and up are allowed. Oh- uh. I think that's for you." He replied as an owl flew through one of the open windows. She took the letter and petted the owl's head. As sh opened the letter, attached was a small picture. It was a picture Zach. He was surrounded by teddy bears and he had his teddy bear playsuit on.
Dear Angelina, Zach's doing well, Just a little grumpy most of the time. He misses you. Your step -father left this afternoon, he said he was sick of everything we put him through. I'm actually happy he left, and I know you are too. How's everything at school? I know you'll be happy there. Hogwarts is a great school and we can't keep you in the house forever. I've got to go now, Zach's crying Lots of love Mom
Angelina felt tears sting her eyes. "What's wrong?" Fred asked.
"Nothing, my step-father left and my mom's stressing. I'm kinda tired, I'm gonna go to bed. Good night!" Angelina replied, then she made her way up the stairs and to her bedroom. She put Zach's picture in her diary, locking it afterwards. As she lay on her bed, she remembered that she'd forgotten the letter downstairs. She ran downstairs and saw Fred holding the letter that was still folded up. "Sorry, forgot that here." She smiled, but on the inside she was panicking that he'd read it.
"I know, didn't read it though." Fred said, handing it to her.
"Thanks, G'night." Angelina said, hugging him and running upstairs. Linkin park- numb
"Miss Johnson, I presume?" He asked with a smile on his face. Angelina nodded her head and the old man started walking. Nervously, she followed.
