more!
Ginny walked out of the train furiously, her robes flying behind her. She wiped the tears away, feeling lonely and desperate for companionship. Crystal had been her best, best, best friend out of all the friends she had. They were so alike, having fiery spirits and big families. Of course, Crystal wasn't the only girl in her family, but...the similarities were plenty. Busy with her thoughts, Ginny didn't notice Colin Creevey walk upto her.
"Hey, Gin! What's up?" Colin asked cheerfully. Then, seeing a tear trickling down her cheek, his face grew concerned and worried. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Colin," Ginny answered, waving her hand carelessly. "Nothing that you should worry about."
"Are you sure?" Colin asked, growing more worried by the second. "You don't seem to happy...any way I can help?"
Ginny shook her head. There was no need to get Colin all fussed up about the situation. He would kill Crystal, being the type of person that he was. She didn't want Crystal dead, she just wanted forgiveness. Ginny looked into her now-best friend's deep blue eyes, full of concern and curiosity.
"It's no big deal, Colin," she said with a smile. "I'm okay."
"All right, Gin," Colin said, brightening up. "Now, c'mon! I'm hungry, can't you see?"
They laughed as they walked through the entrance hall and to the Gryffindor Table. Fortunately for Ginny, Crystal was sitting with her back to Ginny. The thing that worried her was that Kevin seemed to be keeping a close eye on her. She shrugged and started to watch the sorting. This year, the new Gryffindors were Albert Rushmore, Louisa Rushmore, Pluto Eielson, Genevieve Ruthsbard, Seth McTonelli, David Blanche, Harriet Slinkhard, and Donald Rosetta.
"This is so cool!" Harriet Slinkhard was saying, looking at the bewitched ceiling and the food that was magically appearing. She was a Muggle and didn't know anything about magic. "It's like...magic!"
"It IS magic, Harri!" Seth said, howling with laughter. "Isn't it obvious?"
"Weeelllllll, you can't expect ME to know that!" Harriet said quietly, her face turning red with embarrassment. "You're a pureblood, Seth. I'm not."
"And like I care. Muggles and purebloods are all HUMANS, for Dumbledore's sake. Those stupid Slytherins are too idiotic to realize it," Seth remarked. Kevin sent him a nasty glare. Matt and Courtney Sparks were Slytherins, after all. "No offense, Kev," Seth added with a grin.
Ginny laughed. "Not all of them are that bad, Seth," she said, wanting to stay on the good side of Kevin. "Look at Courtney and Matt Sparks over there. They're not that stupid. They agree with you. If you don't believe me, go ask them." Kevin sent her a weak smile in return.
"Well, maybe I will, Gin. Maybe I will," was Seth's reply.
Colin laughed. "Seth, you sure know how to brighten people's spirits up," he said.
Ginny nodded in agreement. 'He sure is...and so are the other Gryffindors,' she thought. 'But the other houses count, too, and I'm not getting along well with them.'
After finishing the feast, Ginny, Colin, Harriet, and Seth walked sleepily to the portrait of the Fat Lady. She seemed to be in high spirits, looking content and blooming.
"Harry Potter," Harriet said to her. It was the new password, in honor of Harry, who would be leaving next year.
"You'd better catch on some sleep, dears. You want to get a good start of school tomorrow," the Fat Lady said after opening up.
They entered and found themselves in their glorious scarlet-and-gold common room once again.
"I can't believe I'm actually going to LIVE here!" Harriet exclaimed. "Today is the best day of my life!"
"You'd better count on it," Seth said with a yawn. "I'm going to bed. See you guys in the morning." With that, he went up the boys' dormitories.
"I'm going to stay up for a bit. See you, Seth!" Harriet said, and plunged onto a comfortable-looking chair. "What about you guys?"
"I'm going to bed," Colin and Ginny said in unison. Laughing, they went upto their dormitories.
