Thanks again all. Now on with the story.
Disclaimer: I'm sick of these things. Just see the previous chapters.
Welcome One, Welcome All:
Lily and James had just finished packing all of their bags, and were right now in the common room saying good-bye to all of their friends. Lily and Bella were crying as they said hugged each other. As they headed out the door, Lily turned around and shouted at the six friends waving as they walked away, "Bye everyone. You know we'll miss you while were in the other dorm. As soon as we are settled in, we'll have you all come visit and see the room. Bye Gryffindor! I'll miss every single one of you!"
"You're such a baby," said James as they walked through the portrait. "It's not going to be forever, and you'll still see them every day. Besides..." James whispered in Lily's ear, "I know a way to sneak in their without anybody knowing." Lily's eyes light up as he said this. He loved knowing that he was able to make her do that.
At that moment they had reached the portrait that they had heard about earlier. It showed a pretty little forest scene. On a patch of grass you could see two badgers and two ravens talking and playing games. One of the badgers had a blue ribbon around its neck, as did one of the ravens. The others both had pink ribbons. There were two lions coming towards them with exciting looks on their faces. Each also had a ribbon tied around their necks. There was also a tiny cottage in the lower right corner. In the window sill, there were two deadly looking snakes, also with the ribbons. Lily found the scene very cute, knowing that the animals stood for the houses. Little did any of them know, the portrait depicted the way the eight students acted towards each other. The animal with the blue ribbon stood for the male of each house, the pink for the female.

Once they were inside, Lily and James already saw Amos, Samantha, Charles, and Jana. They would have actually been surprised if Lucius and Audrey decided to show up at all. After saying hello and introducing themselves to themselves to the others, the two Gryffindors headed upstairs to unpack.
When Lily walked in her room, she noticed that two of the beds were already taken. There were four beds in the room. Two by the window and two by the door. On the left side, the bed by the window was taken. On the right, the bed by the door was taken. Lily was relieved. That meant she would be sleeping as far away from Audrey as possible. Lily took the bed on the right.
When James walked into his room he noticed a similar arrangement. The bed on the right, by the window, was taken. Same with the bed on the left by the door. He quickly claimed the other bed on the left. Grateful that he wouldn't have to deal with Lucius too much. As soon as he lay down, he promptly fell asleep.
Lily was halfway down with unpacking when Samantha and Jana came in. Lily stopped unpacking for a while to talk with the other two girls. They actually got along together pretty well. "You know what I think?" asked Jana.
"What?" asked the other girls.
"I think that Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor get along, and got along, fine without the program. Look at us now, we've barely known each other for ten minutes, and we're getting along great. I have a feeling that this program is supposed to help our three houses get along with the Slytherins." Just then Audrey stormed into the room. She threw her stuff on the remaining bed, sat down on it, and drew her drapes around her. She didn't even say hello to the other three girls. They all started to laugh as they heard Audrey sneer behind her curtain.
Jana was a cute girl. She was on the shortish side, probably around 5' 4". She was not skinny, but she certainly wasn't fat. Her long, straight, blonde hair reached down almost to her hips. There was a faint sprinkle of freckles could be found across her pale face. Her eyes had a very interesting color, or should I say colors. They went form violet to blue to green to black then back to blue. You could be entranced just watching her eyes change color. Samantha was very pretty, even though she tried her hardest to hide it. She was averaged height, and very skinny. Her curly, brown hair reached her shoulders, but she always kept it in a messy bun. Her eyes were a very pretty shade of brown. Both the Hufflepuff and the Ravenclaw were very pretty. Then there was Audrey. She had stick straight, black hair that reached just below her neck. She was average height, skinny, and neither tan nor pale. She also had green eyes, but hers didn't sparkle the way Lily's did. Her face vaguely reminded the other three girls of that of a dog's.
James was still asleep when the other three boys came inside. Amos went to go wake James up. Once he was awake, Charles and Amos started talking to him. Lucius was on his bed doing one thing or another. James already knew Amos because he was the seeker of the Hufflepuff quidditch team whereas; James was the seeker for Gryffindor. Amos had light brown hair that always seemed to stay in place. His brown eyes were dark, and to a passerby, looked very deep (A/N: Which there not. Amos is nice, but he is a little shallow and conceited.). Amos was very handsome, causing many girls in the school to have crushes on him. Charles was Chinese. His parents were born there, but moved to England before he was born. He had black hair and black eyes. His skin was olive colored, and he was very short. Lucius had blonde, almost white, hair and cold, blue eyes. He was also very tall and pale. He could also be considered very hot, if it wasn't for the permanent scowl plastered on his face (A/N: Although, the Slytherin girls still thought he was smoking.)

After everyone had finished unpacking, they all headed down to the shared common room. "Hey, didn't Dumbledore say we were going to get our own private bathrooms?" asked Audrey. "I didn't see one bathroom in that filthy place."
"Well Audrey," said Lily sweetly. "Maybe if you saw something besides your bed curtains and reflection you would've seen the sign on the wall." Everyone giggled silently at the fuming Audrey until Dumbledore walked in.
"I know you are all wondering about those bathrooms I promised you," he said as if reading their minds. "We needed to wait until you've chosen your beds first. Everyone, please follow me into the boys' dorm. If there is any boy who has something up there he doesn't want the girls to see, I suggest you run ahead and hide it now." All the boys stood still except for James and Lucius. The raced up the stairs followed by laughter from the remaining seven (A/N: The two other boys, the four girls, and Dumbledore.). When they reached the dorm they waited to see what Dumbledore would do.
"Okay," he started. "This is a very new spell, and may seem rather lame, but it does do its job. First I need a boy who is willing to volunteer." Amos raised his hand. "Okay Amos, Point to the place on the wall where you want your bathroom to be." He pointed his wand. "Now say bathroomius lavatorius and the material you would like your bathroom to be made out of, for example; wood, metal, or anything else." Amos thought for a second. He pointed his wand at the wall and said 'bathroomius lavatorius platinum'.
Suddenly a door appeared. Dumbledore opened the door and inside was a platinum bathroom. "Now Amos," Dumbledore started talking again. "See that speaker box on the wall. Go over there and tell it your password, make a good choice though. The bathroom door is both voice and password activated." Amos smiled and said something to the square box on the wall. "Now everyone go back to your dorms and do the same. But, if you think you can now make a private bathroom anywhere, you can't. It only works in certain parts of the castle, if you want to know those; you'll have to figure it out by yourself." Dumbledore quickly winked at Lily before leaving. She hurried over to her dorm and made her bathroom marble.

I know it's kind of short, sorry. I hope you all liked it. R/R. This will also be my last chapter for a while. I'm going to be going to camp for a month, and I can't update there, sorry. Also I'd like to take a poll. I'm debating whether or not I should make Audrey nice. Please tell me in the reviews. Thanks a lot.
