Chapter 4: New Beginning
After Chanse finally realize that she couldn't go with Master, Cho, Orla, Roger, and the other Ravenclaws, she collected the little strength that she had, and forced herself to go back to the Gryffindor house.
"Chanse wait up!" A voice yelled.
Chanse looked down the hallway and saw Angelina running towards her.
Chanse lowered her head and looked down at the ground. "Hey where'd you go?" Angelina laughed, as she caught her breath, and Chanse looked up at her, "What's wrong Chanse?" Angelina placed her hand on Chanse's shoulder, "You look like you've been crying."
Chanse took a step back from Angelina, and started walking back down the hallway to the Fat Lady, "Password?" The Lady smiled, "Oh why hello there Chanse, it's so nice to see you. I heard that you were transferred to my house, I'm very excited." The Fat Lady smiled.
"Yeah," Chanse whispered, "I don't know the house password." Chanse sighed.
Angelina walked up next to Chanse, "Chanse talk to me here. If you go in there looking like you've been crying then everyone will wonder what's up." Angelina pleaded.
Chanse looked up at Angelina, "Well if I talk about it, I'll just cry more." Chanse sighed.
Angelina nodded her head to Chanse, and then looked up at the Fat Lady, "Flibbertigibbet."
The painting swung open and Angelina turned to Chanse, "Here." Angelina pointed her wand at Chanse's face, "erubesco extabesco, y emungo extabesco."
Angelina smiled, as Chanse could feel her nose stop running, her eyes dry, and feel less puffy. "Thank you." Chanse whispered to Angelina as she stepped inside the Gryffindor commons room.
Before Chanse walked in the Commons room she could hear Katie Bell whining, "I wish Terence would get the hell up here..." Chanse stepped towards the Commons Room, and she could hear footsteps running towards her, "Terence?"
Chanse came face-to-face with Katie, "Oh it's just you Chanse." Katie sighed, as she turned around. Katie stopped and turned back around to Chanse, "CHANSE?!" Katie ran back over to Chanse and looked her up and down, "what are you doing here? This is the Gryffindor house!"
"You didn't get the memo?" Chanse smirked, as she walked past Katie and into the middle of the Commons room, "I'm part of the Gryffindor house."
Chanse felt everyone looking at her and at everyone else, filling the room full of whispers and stares.
Chanse looked around at the Gryffindors whispering about her...
*FLASH*
Chanse's head jolted back, as she blinked and rubbed her eyes. When she could see straight she saw Colin Creevey standing there holding a camera in his hands, "But what about Ravenclaw?"
"It's my first house, and always will be, but now I'm a Gryffindor." Chanse smiled.
Angelina looked at Alicia, who looked at Katie, who looked at someone else, who looked at someone else...
Chanse heard a small clap from behind her, and she turned around and saw Angelina clapping for her, and then she heard another one in front of her and saw George clapping, then slowly the room filled with claps and laughter.
"Excuse?" A voice shouted over the clapping.
Everyone stopped clapping and looked over at Terence standing in the entrance of the Gryffindor house, with a large group of new first years.
Terence shook his head, and then turned to the first years, "This is the Gryffindor Commons Room...MOST of the Gryffindors don't act like this." Terence smirked.
"Please," Percy pushed his way past a couple of fourth years, "first years Gryffindors take your seats now, along with the rest of the Gryffindor house, if you wouldn't mind."
Chanse walked over to Angelina, "Why do we need to take our seats?" Chanse whispered.
"What happens if we do mind?" George and Fred shouted from the back, and then ducked behind a chair, and started to giggle.
"I know those voices anywhere...Weasley twins," Percy smirked, "I'm not going to look for you."
George and Fred rose from behind a giant red and gold chair, "He's our own brother and we're referred to as 'The Weasley Twins'." George whined.
"He sounds like McGonagall," Fred laughed, as he cleared his throat, "Weasley twins." Fred mocked in an old, squeaky voice of Professor McGonagall.
"Or Snape," George laughed, as he cleared his throat, "Weasley twins." He said in an evil, sly voice mocking Professor Snape
Both Fred and George looked at each other, look as if they were about to mock another teacher when they looked at each other, "You know what Fred." George pleasantly said.
"What George?" Fred laughed.
"I don't think many of the teachers like us and our jokes." George whined.
"I don't think ANY of them like us and our jokes." Fred corrected.
"Weasley twins silence." Percy hissed.
Fred leaned over to George, "Well we may be 'The Weasley Twins' to him, but to us he's still..."Fred grew a large sly look across his face.
The George grew the exact sly look across his face.
"Angelina are you going to answer me?" Chanse nudged.
"Just wait this is going to piss off Percy so badly." Angelina laughed.
"PINHEAD!" The twins screamed.
Percy stopped walking around the Commons Room, and walked over to Fred and George with his finger pointed, very straight, at them. When he got up in their faces, he whispered very sternly, "That was not funny."
"Sure it was Pinhead." Fred laughed, as he nudged Percy.
"NO, IT WASN'T!" Percy yelled, and then looked around at everyone. He leaned into the twin and whispered again, "No, it wasn't."
Percy nodded his head to his terrified brothers, and then walked back over to the middle, "Sorry about that first years...Those are my meddling brothers, if you couldn't tell," Percy laughed, "Now, please everyone take a seat and wait for Sir Nicholas de Mimsey-Porpington."
Kirstyn was standing next to Chanse whispering to her friends, "Whose Sir Nicholas de Mimsey-Porpington?"
"I don't know." Liz laughed.
Chanse bent down next to them, "Nearly-Headless Nick." She smiled.
"Oh," Emily laughed, "thank you."
"No problem."
Chanse nudged Angelina, again, "So are you going to tell me why we need to sit?"
"Because," Angelina looked at Chanse, a little irritate, "we all sit down and wait for Sir Nicholas to come and wish us a good school year, and announce Head Boy, Head Girl, and the Prefects."
Chanse sat down on the arm of a chair that Angelina sat in, and looked down at the ground and whispered to herself, "In Ravenclaw you just stand." Chanse sighed.
"What Chanse?" Angelina leaned over to Chanse.
"Hello Gryffindor!" Sir Nicholas shouted as he flew through a wall into the Commons Room.
"Never mind Angelina." Chanse whispered.
"Welcome to Gryffindor, first years."
"Thank you Sir Nicholas!" All the first years shouted.
"I'm going to keep this short this year..."
"Oh no." Lee Jordan sighed.
"What?" Chanse asked with a little laugh.
Lee Jordan leaned over to Chanse, "Every year Sir Nicholas says he'll keep it short but he never does." Lee smirked.
"Well I just want to wish all of you a happy, safe, and fun school year." Sir Nicholas laughed, "and I'm going to announce the Head Boy and Girl, and the fifth year and sixth year Prefects."
"Wow he IS keeping it short this year." Lee laughed.
"Shhh Lee." Percy squawked.
"Like a true Head Boy," Sir Nicholas flew over to Percy, "Percy is the perfect one...Congratulations Percy Weasley."
The Commons Room filled with claps and whistles for Percy, "Now, now, Gryffindors let's hold our excitement for our follow Gryffindors till after I'm done." Sir Nicholas laughed. "Head Girl is Katie Bell...Congratulations Katie." Sir Nicolas clapped, "Sixth year Prefects are, as you know, Terence Metton, and then Blu Elfersin...Congratulations to both of you." He clapped again, "Fifth year Prefects are Webster Markerstien and Kay Flay...congratulations to both of you, and everyone. Enjoy Gryffindor."
Sir Nicholas nodded his head and flew out of the room, while everyone clapped for the new Head Boy, Head Girl, and Prefects.
"Well, for the first years the girl dormitories are up the stairs and to the left, and for the boys it's the same but to the right. You will find that your belongings are already placed in your rooms." Percy nodded his head, "boys follow me, and girls follow Katie."
Chanse watched as the boys pushed their way towards Percy and followed him up the stairs and to the right while all the girls filed behind Katie and followed her up the stairs and to the left.
"Second years please go up one more flight to your floor, and then third to the next floor, fourth after them, fifth after fourth, sixth after fifth, and seventh on the top floor, thank you." Katie nodded her head and took the first years down the small hallway while the rest of the girls went up to their grade's floor.
When Chanse reached the top floor, Angelina leaned over to Chanse, "Just follow me and we'll find your room."
Chanse nodded her head and her and Angelina walked down the seventh year's floor, and looked at everyone's signs:
Natalie McDonald & Alicia Spinnet
"Well I'm not with Natalie this year." Angelina sighed, as she pushed Chanse through everyone.
Angelina Johnson & Chanse Potter
"Hey we're with each other." Angelina shouted, as she opened the door.
"I guess since I'm new to Gryffindor, and I always hung out with you last year, Dumbledore decided it would be easier for me to settle in with a friend."
Chanse walked into the room and looked around and saw the walls had lions on them with a red and gold background behind the lions.
"We should probably get to bed." Angelina shouted from the bathroom.
"Ok." Chanse walked over to her bed that had all of her suitcases, and Geno, on it. She picked up Geno and set him on her dresser, and then walked back over to her bed and un-latched her suitcases.
She slowly unpacked all her belongings and tucked them into her shelves.
"So how do you know that first year?" Angelina asked as she climbed into her bed, "Relative?"
"Not really." Chanse laughed, as she climbed into her bed, "You remember that boyfriend I told you about...Milo?"
"Yeah."
"It's his sister."
"Oh."
"Good night Chanse." Angelina whispered as she turned over.
"Night Angelina." Chanse replied.
Chanse turned back over and looked across the room and Angelina, "Angelina?"
Angelina rolled back over and looked at Chanse, "Yeah?"
"Do you know of any witchcraft or wizardry schools in Bulgaria?"
"Um..." Angelina thought, "Durmstrang is it Bulgaria."
"Durmstrang?"
"Yeah Durmstrang, why?"
"Just that..." Chanse voice trailed off and she began to think, 'Oliver transferred to Durmstrang."
After Chanse finally realize that she couldn't go with Master, Cho, Orla, Roger, and the other Ravenclaws, she collected the little strength that she had, and forced herself to go back to the Gryffindor house.
"Chanse wait up!" A voice yelled.
Chanse looked down the hallway and saw Angelina running towards her.
