"Flaming Ducks," Harry said as they approached the portrait of the fat lady. Everyone went silent when they stepped inside the common room. All eyes turned to Gemna. The four of them decided that they should probably just go strait to bed. "See you girls in the morning," Harry said hugging Hermione, Ginny, and Gemna good night.
"Yeah, see ya' tomorrow. Meet you over there by the fire 'round eight-ish, k?" Ron yawned.
"Sure. See you then," Ginny replied as they walked up the stairs toward their rooms.
As Harry and Ron walked into their dorm, they couldn't help but talk about Gemna's beauty and how irresistible she was. "There's just something about her that doesn't seem right, yet she seems so perfect," Harry said to Ron, unpacking his suitcase.
Ron did the same. "I know what you mean. I think…I think I'm in love," he sighed.
"Ron! Don't rush into anything. She hasn't even spoken to us yet. Maybe we can get her to talk tomorrow. For some reason, I'd love to find out more about her than I ever wanted to learn about anything in school. But for now, lets just make an attempt for friends, all right? Just friends," Harry looked at Ron who nodded and agreed. They both got changed, set their alarms for 7:30am and went to sleep.
Hermione and Ginny led Gemna up the stairs to the 6th year girls' room. "You and I sleep here," Hermione said, walking into the room of beds. "Ginny's room is the next one over. Would you like us to help you unpack?" Her only reply was a smile as Gemna opened the trunk in front of a bed that had a sign saying: Reserved For Miss Gemna Rodemlovt. The two girls assumed this was a yes and began to assist her in hanging her dresses in the closet. Her clothes were unlike anything that the other students or even teachers wore, but they seemed to be permitted.
Ginny picked up a book at the bottom of the suitcase and seemed very puzzled by it. It was titled Essence Of Self. "What's this?" she asked her. For the first time, Gemna spoke.
"Just a little independent study," she replied, grabbing it out of Ginny's hands and putting it under her mattress. "It's nothing really." Hermione and Ginny exchanged looks and continued unpacking.
About 15 minutes later with some light conversation on having the same classes, Ginny set off to her room and Gemna and Hermione changed for bed. Hermione had made an interesting choice in nightclothes this year; a pale yellow velvet tank with matching pants. The pants had a cartoon frog on it that continuously hopped around the ankles. Gemna's outfit looked rather expensive. It was a knee length black satin strapless gown with blood-red silk roses around the bottom edge. It also had a silver dagger on the front that looked like it was covered in blood. She looked like she was going to a formal dinner rather than to bed. "Goodnight Hermione. Sweet dreams," Gemna said, getting under the sheets.
Hermione yawned and said "G'night." She flicked her wand and the lights were out.
