Hiya! I forgot to add a disclaimer so here it is! I do not own Harry Potter, JK Rowling does, I don't own any of the McFly members although I would like to (Oooh Harry is fiiiiiiine) and I certainty don't own my friends! What I do own is the plot and thats about it. Oh and I own me to!
:o)
The eight students sat in Professor McGonagall's in two groups. The girls sat in one corner wondering what was about to happen. They hoped they wouldn't be split up. The boys sat in the other talking quietly in a huddled group. Didi and Jess were playing with Blizzard and Flip. The two birds had woken up and were happy to play games with their owners. Alicia had Jakatta on her knee as she read a muggle book and Lydia was listening to her MP3 player mouthing the words silently to herself. Razzy rested on her shoulder nibbling her ear affectionately. Luckily for her, her MP3 ran on magic not battery so she was still able to use it unlike Didi who had forgotten her magic operated MP3 player and had to make do with a battery operated one which had stopped working when they had come into the Hogwarts area.
At the other side of the room the boys were chatting. Mainly about school work and what house they would be in. They had been told before they left that it was unlikely for them to be split up. Tom kept glancing over to where the girls were sat and then turn away quickly whenever he made eye contact. Danny noticed and poked Tom in the ribs hard. Before Tom could poke him back a thin lady entered the room along with a man with long greasy hair and long robes carrying a rather tatty hat.
"I am Professor Snape, this is Professor McGonagall and this is the sorting hat. It will define what house you go into." He said his voice penetrating the steely silence.
All conversations stopped. Lydia stopped her MP3 player and gave a questioning glance to Alicia because she had missed what he had said. Alicia gave her an apologetic smile and put her book away. She hadn't heard either. Snape sighed.
"I am Professor Snape, this is Professor McGonagall and this is the sorting hat. It will define what house you go into." He repeated impatiently pointing out the three things.
"When I call your name you will come up and put the hat on your head." McGonagall said smiling at the eight new students. "Alicia."
Alicia handed Jakatta to Jess and slowly made her way up to the front of the classroom. Before the hat had even touched a hair on her head it shouted loudly "GRIFFINDOR!"
"Very good. Danny?"
Danny stood up and made his way to the front. 'Interesting. You have quite a musical talent. You could be Hufflepuff you know. But there is something else there to good to waste to Hufflepuff'. "GRIFFINDOR!"
"Didi? Diandra?"
Didi hurried to the front wanting to get it over and done with. 'Hmm you are tricky to place aren't you? Ravenclaw? Griffindor? Slytherin? I know'. "GRIFFINDOR!"
"Another. I think you might all be Griffindor. Dougie."
Dougie made his way to the front. Lucifer followed him until Tom held him back. 'Oh this is too easy. You have to be'. "GRIFFINDOR!"
"Harry, you next."
'Slytherin? You know they already lost a Harry to Griffindor .Dear me today is certainly a good day for'. "GRIFFINDOR!"
"Jessica."
'You are definitely a trouble maker. Don't deny it Jess. Hmm Ravenclaw would suit you. But you would suit another house better.' "GRIFFINDOR!"
"Lydia."
"And could you please loose the headphones." Added Snape icily.
'You shouldn't think that way about your professors. Although I agree. There is only one house for you.' "GRIFFINDOR!"
"Tom last but not least."
'Where should I put you? Hufflepuff. Yes Hufflepuff. No? How about Slytherin? Don't fancy them either? Griffindor would suit you. Do you like that choice? Well you better.' "GRIFFINDOR!"
:o)
"Girls you dorms are up there, Boys to the right." Said Percy, pointing out the staircases. "As head boy." He coughed slightly "Feel free to come to me with any problems. You too girls." Percy gave them a type of salute. Jess swallowed a laugh.
He left them in the common room and went off in search of his girlfriend. Jess burst into laughter sending the other girls into fits of giggles. Ron, Harry and Hermione came into to find four lads staring at four girls who were about ready to collapse on the floor with giggles.
"Are we interrupting something?" asked Harry (Potter, for further use Harry Potter will have (p) after his name. Okay?)
Danny smiled and held out his hand.
"No mate. I'm Danny, this is Harry, Dougie and Tom. We don't know them though." He said gesturing to the girls. "We're new."
"All of you?" asked Harry (p)
Lydia managed to grab some air and split from the others who where slowly calming down.
"Yeah, sorry about that. I'm Lydia."
Hermione looked her up and down. She was wearing baggy jeans with a black Offspring hoodie. Didi came up to back Lydia up and stared Hermione out.
"Well I'm Harry, this is Hermione."
"And I'm Ron. When did you get here?"
"Just arrived." Said Lydia.
Dougie stifled a yawn.
"I don't know about you but I'm going to bed." He picked up his bag and headed for his staircase. "Night."
"We were just going to." Said Harry (p) He and Ron followed Dougie up the stairs.
Jess and Alicia said to that they were going up to bed. After one final glare at Didi, Hermione followed the girls up. A loud scream was heard from the girls bedroom. Everyone looked up to the stairs, Lydia, Didi, Danny, Ron and both Harry's ran up and burst through the door. Jess and Alicia were jumping up and down on one of the king size beds.
"Have you seen the size of this room!" yelled Jess picking up a pillow. She then hit Alicia with making her scream.
"Pillow fight!" cried Danny pulling a pillow off the nearest bed.
Everyone reached for a pillow yelling various things. With two weeks until Christmas everyone was on a high and was not afraid to let noise levels reach a high. When Hermione stormed into the room Danny was standing on a bed hitting Jess round the head who was on the floor, Harry (p) and Ron where battling it out with Alicia on another bed. Lydia was standing over Harry and her pillow was raised above her head.
"Stop the noise!" Hermione yelled turning red.
"It's only a game." Lydia smiled lowering her pillow. As she did the bottom fell out making feathers fly all over the room.
Hermione smirked as the feathers fell around looking like strange shaped snowflakes. Casting a dirty look at Ron and Harry (p) she turned on her heel and left. Harry pulled out his wand and cast a quick tidying spell. The feathers floated back toward Lydia's pillow and sowed themselves back in. Ron yawned dropping his pillow on a bed.
"Well I'm off to bed. Night all."
Ron left the room followed by the other lads. They said good night and made their way down the stairs.
:o)
"Did you tell them?" asked Ginny when Hermione entered the room.
"Yes. Just because there's only two weeks to Christmas it doesn't mean they can have a pillow fight."
"A pillow fight? How cool would that of been?" said Lavender.
Ginny blushed slightly for a second.
"What are you blushing for?" cried Lavender pointing.
"Nothing." Ginny coughed turning a brighter shade of red.
"Harry! You were thinking of Harry having a pillow fight!" laughed Hermione.
"Shut up!"
"You love Harry! The boy who lived! You lurve him." Lavender teased.
"You want his babies!" Grinned Hermione
"Shush! It's not like you two don't have crushes! Seamus? My Brother!"
"You have a crush on Ron?!" laughed Lavender
"Better than Seamus!" cried Hermione "And Harry!" she added pointing at Ginny
"Well now. We have learned a lot." Fred and George Weasley grinned sticking their heads through the door. "Now bring on the country girls!"
