Chapter 5- Fiddle Faddle
Once we were done with our dinner, McGonagall asked, "Any questions?"
"Yes," I said, "what's our 'excuse' for being here?" I continued on quickly, "I mean, if my parents say to someone, 'Oh, yes, Hilary's at Hogwarts,' no one will believe them."
"Ah, yes, your 'excuse' being here is, is that 'You two are at an acting school in a prestigious England,'" she said with a small smile. Tyler and I looked at each other again, grinning, for we both were thinking about acting for a job.
"What about Hogsmeade?" inquired Tyler, I looked at the witch.
"We have had that arranged, your parents said you may visit Hogsmeade." She said, "If that is all of your questions, please follow me to the Gryffindor common room." We shook are heads "No" to her question about more questions and she briskly nodded her head. Professor McGonagall than stood up in a huge sweeping motion of her robes and opening the door, leading us out of the room. We followed her out the door like ducklings, down the drafty Hogwarts halls.
We came to a short, large hallway with a portrait of a, uh, 'well fed' noble lady in a pick dress. The lady looked expectantly at Professor Mcgonagall. The witch said, "Fiddle faddle." The woman in the nodded her head solemnly and the picture swung forward. We walked into the Gryffindor common room.
"The girls are on the left, boys are on the right," said the Professor, nodding to the nearly empty common room, and, turning on her heal, left the room.
"Hilary, Tyler," said a voice. Tyler and I looked near the fire place and saw Hermione, Ron, and, Harry. "Come here," Hermione said motioning to two unoccupied chairs near by, so Tyler and I both took a seat. "Well, at least we know you guys are in Gryffindor," said Hermione grinning.
"Which extra classes are you taking?" asked Harry, Ron seemed to be falling asleep in his chair, filled with the Opening Feast.
"Um, Care of Magical Creatures and…..," said Tyler, thinking of the other extra class.
"And Divination," I said coming to Tyler's rescue; he nodded his thanks, getting tired himself.
"Great choices," said Harry, looking at Hermione nervous. Hermione looked at Harry and sighed as Ron nodded slowly, yawning.
"I think it's time to go to bed," said Hermione, watching Ron yawn. Ron nodded again, to tired to argue, and slowly walked up the stairs to the Boy's Dormitory. Harry and Tyler quickly followed suit. Hermione looked at me with her eyebrows raised and I nodded. We walked up the stairs of the Girl's Dormitory and to bed.
"Here is your dorm," said Hermione, pointing to a door.
"Good night, Hermione," I mumbled and, pushing the door open, walked into the room.
In the dorm there were four beds, all of them except for one had their hangings open. When I entered the room, I saw was a girl with blond hair and hazel eyes, modeling in front of a full length mirror. There was also another girl with black hair and blue eyes, waiting for her turn in front of the mirror. Both girls were wearing outrageously large hats that flopped over on the top. They were obviously in the middle of a conversation because one girl in front of the mirror was saying, "Don't you just love Madame Malkins new hat line? I think they are to d-i-e for." She said spelling 'die' and striking a dramatic pose. Her friend nodded her head vigorously (I was surprised her hat didn't fall off.) and turned because she had heard a strangled 'meow' of delight. I had too. I looked down and saw Lily looking at me, with her hazel eyes.
The two girls were staring at me. "Oh, you're the American," said the girl in front of the mirror. "My name is Lucy Maple, and this," said the girl in front of the mirror pointing to the other girl, "is Tori Baates."
I nodded and said, "My name is Hilary Dolch." While I had been listening to Lucy I noticed something that I hadn't noticed before, Tori seemed to worship Lucy.
"That's your bed," said Lucy, pointing at a bed while striking a final pose and moving over so Tori could have a turn in front of the mirror. Lucy had pointed at the bed on the on the center left.
I walked over and put Lily down on my new bed. I felt curious so I poked my head into my neighbor' closed hangings. On the bed was a girl with brown hair and brown eyes. She was reading, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. "Oh," she said, startled.
"Uh," I said, started myself at her outburst. "My name is Hilary Dolch."
"My name is Rachel Cloney." She said in a light voice. She seemed to be thinking before she spoke.
"Um, well, good night," I said and then withdrew my head. I scanned my room. I noticed Lily was sitting on my pillow and that neither Lucy nor Tori had noticed my brief interaction with the other occupant of the room. I sighed and walked over to my bed, dug my pajamas out of my trunk, and put them on. I shoved Lily off of my pillow, and tumbled into a dreamless sleep.
Okay, that's it for now! Please review!!
