After the sorting ceremony McGonagall returned to her seat to the left of
Professor Dumbledore, he rose as she sat and opened his arms welcoming the
new students. By-far Professor Dumbledore was the girls most favourite old
man of all time.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts, to our new first years, our old students and a few others," his voice boomed over the quietening croud, his eyes twinkled as he looked over at the two girls. The girls giggled and Miranda and Jess both waved at him emphatically.
"The Forbidden Forest is still out of bounds for all of you, and so is the third floor corridor, no students are to go in there, particularly if it involves ice cubes, an elephant and a nine iron."
At this some of the teachers started to chuckle, Oliver had to hide his head he was laughing so hard, and the two girls went bright red.
" I would like to introduce two new members to the school, Jess Currie and Miranda Johnson. I do believe most of you have already heard about them. They are new students into the 5th year, so if you could give them some hospitality on there be-half it would be much obliged. If there isn't anymore to say, eat up."
And with that the tables began to fill with food. Unfortunatly for Jess she had not anticipated the sudden appearance of food, she was caught completely off her guard. And she feel backwards off her bench.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH," was yelled out by someone, and everyone went silent.
"Goddam, bloody friking hell," Jess said grabing her head as she stood. Miranda was on the seat beside Jess, pissing herself with laughter. This had been about the 20th time Jess had just randomly fallen off her chair.
Jess looked around, at everyone that was staring at her. She could feel her face getting hot and blood pounding in her ears.
Climbing up onto the chair again, and standing so the whole school could see her, she held her arms in the air.
"IT'S ALRIGHT PEOPLE, I AM OOOOOOOOK RETURN TO YOUR MEALS, NO NEED TO PANIC!"
The whole school looked at her in surprise. Then it happened. Ron was the one who actually started it. He laughed, he laughed so had he nearly feel off his own chair, then Harry began to laugh and soon the whole school was laughing.

BANG, BANG, BANG, someone was banging on Hagrids door, he carefully made his way to the door and opened it cautiously. There standing his door step, covered in dirt and mud, and sticked in her hair, was a girl. She looked at him, her eyes widened.
"GAN-D-ALF!" she cried before collapsing into the giants arms.
* Miranda and Jess were busying themselves, stuffing there faces with food. At the same time both girls jerked there heads up to look at each other. There eyes grew large,
"Emma," they whispered to each other. Before anyone new it they were running out the double door's once again disturbing the Great Hall.
They sprinted in the direction of Hagrids hut, the air was very cool on there red cheeks, and there eyes were stinging from the cold. From the light of the castle they could make out the silhouette of Hagrid, carrying something towards them. Both girls ran up to him, and there lay Emma clutched in the huge mans arms.
"What happened?" Miranda said worry in her eyes.
"I dun now, she came knockin' at ma door, n' cried out sum name, st'rted wit a g"
"Did she say GAN-D-ALF!" Jess cried mimicking the same tone Emma had used.
"Yer, yer tha' it,"
*
For the remainder of the evening the girls stayed by Emma's side, refusing to let go of Emma's hand, and in the end had to pried away by Professor Snape, forcefully. Apparently Emma had been wandering the country-side for 5 days, and had gone about 2 days with out food or water, so she was fatigued and dehydrated. Madam Pomfrey gave her a weird smelling potion, that would restore her energy, and supply her body with the food and water that it had lacked. Jess had highly suggested that she should had given Emma double the amount.
~*~*~*~*
"Do you think that she will be alright?" Jess said worriedly, pacing there room in the Slytherin dormitory's. Because the school had already accommodated for the students that were to be arriving at the beginning of the year the girls had there own room magic-ed up for them by Dumbldore.
"She'll be fine," Miranda said detachfully looking out the window. "Don't worry about it, Madam Pomfrey will have her back to her normal self again." Jess gave her a look of shock.
"Oh that's reassuring, but what is she doing here, more importantly," she said throughing herself onto the bed next to Miranda.
"I don't know, that's something we will have to ask her when she wakes up,"
Jess stretched herself out, her long red hair was out and spread out across the bed, she turned her head near her armpit, and then quickly recoiled in disgust,
"I smell like a truck driver," Jess proclaimed, "I'm off to have a bath"
After Jess left the room, Miranda quickly went to the window. She could've sworn she had seen a man walk across the dimly lit grassed area. But however on closer inspection, she realised that it was a dog, its eyes flashed yellow at her direction. She gasped, as the beast just stood there staring at her, before it darted into the dark cover of the forbidden forest.
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Jess made her way down the stairs and into the common room, the room went dead silent as she entered, in her bright blue fuzzy dressing gown. Everybody's eyes were upon her as she crossed the room to the bathing quarters.
"MUD-BLOOD!" she heard someone yell behind her.
"AWW BITE ME BITCH!" she yelled back without even flinching, and continued down the stairs to the bathrooms.
"GIRLS" she read on the sign of the door she was about to enter, she pushed it open and stuck her head in. The sound of many giggling girls filled her ears, and she could see all along the walls were paintings of girls in bath tubs. *Aww HELL no* Jess thought *there ain't no way I'm getting nakey-y in there*. She continued down the hall way until she came to a door labelled 'BOYS'. She opened it, and all that she could hear was silence, no splashes, not chit-chat. She walked in, there were no pictures on the walls, thank god, and no-one appeared to be in there.
The room was rather large, and black. It was really actually quite beautiful, is had several walk-in baths, a few showers, and a mirror, all made out of black tiles. The rest of the castle looked old and rustic, but DAM this bathroom was fine!
~*~*~*~*~
Jess slowly got into the bubble filled bath, they were amazing. She could chooses any type of bubble bath smell, bath oil or bath crystals she wanted. She choose all vanilla, it was her favourite smell of all time. She put her hair up in a messy bun and relaxed. She new she was going to like it here. She was so relaxed she did even hear the door open.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts, to our new first years, our old students and a few others," his voice boomed over the quietening croud, his eyes twinkled as he looked over at the two girls. The girls giggled and Miranda and Jess both waved at him emphatically.
