JK's.
"It's true?! I heard Malfoy say something in the Great Hall." Dean Thomas spoke up.
"BLIMEY! That's great news!" Fred shouted, and he and George barreled over, eveloping me in hugs. Everyone else was silent for awhile, then suddenly they all cheered and applauded. I smiled, tears sparkling in my eyes.
"Well goodnight everyone!" Professor McGonagall turned to leave.
"Goodnight Professor! And thank you." I said as she began to walk out the door.
"Of course my dear." She winked and the portrait hole closed. I didn't know about anyone else, but i was exhausted. I placed a hand on Harry's shoulder.
"Goodnight little brother."
"Goodnight big sis." He gave me a hug.
"Good luck with your classes tomorrow and try not to get into trouble on the first day." I said smirking. The common room began to empty as I headed up the staird to my dorm. As soon as I walked into the room I shared with my fellow quidditch players Angelina and Kate as well as another friend Cassie, I fell onto my bed. A smile played across my lips as I drifted off to sleep, thinking about the events of the day.
When I awoke the next morning, I quickly snapped up. Katie was digging through her trunk.
"Katie! Tell me, what's my name?!" I called out to her. I was hoping that everyone finally knowing the truth wasn't just a dream. Katie looked at me like I was delusional.
"Ainsley." She said quietly.
"Ainsley what?!"
"Ainsley Carmichael," My heart dropped, did she just say what I think she said? "Now Ainsley Potter." Blasted Katie. She just had to scare me didn't she.
"YES! IT WASN'T A DREAM!" I jumped out of bed and ran to the showers. After I was finished, I decided to blow dry my long dark hair into loose curls. I applied black eyeliner and shadow, to give that smokey effect that I adored. I changed into my uniform, and walked back into my room to collect my bag. I met the girls in the common room and we walked to the Great Hall for breakfast.
"Okay Okay ladies. Time to announce our classes for the morning." Angelina said as we sat down.
"Double Transfiguration." Katie said.
"Double Charms." Cassie called out.
"Double Muggle Studies." Angelina replied. They all looked at me.
"Doesn't anyone have double Potions with me?" I groaned. I was hoping at least one of them would have it with me, so I wouldn't be stuck with Snape alone. Especially since everyone knew who I really was.
"Jeez, I'm so sorry!" Angelina said. "I wouldn't wish that punishment on anyone. Oh I completely forgot to tell you Ainsley, they've cancelled quidditch this year."
"WHAT?!" I practically shouted. "Why the bloody hell did they do that?!"
"The Triwizard Tournament is here this year. Dumbledore announced it last night." She proceeded to give me the condensed version of what it was. "And only students aged 17 and older can enter." Then she gasped, "OOOH!! Look who it is!!!" Katie couldn't hold in her excitement, and she squealed. I turned my head to see what the fuss was. It was Cedric Diggory. Hufflepuff Seeker, and resident heartthrob. At least to most of the girls in school he was. To me he was not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I rolled my eyes and recalled the comment I had made the previous year to my teammates about him -
"They've got a new Captain and Seeker, Cedric Diggory..." Wood began. Angelina and Katie giggled.
"He's the tall good looking one, isn't he?" Angelina asked.
"Strong and silent." Katie added.
"He's only silent because he's too thick to string two words together." I said. Fred and George laughed. Angelina and Katie frowned.
I snapped back to reality. "Honestly girls, I don't know what you see in him. He's a complete blockhead. I don't think there are any brains in that head. He's only got his good looks."
"Who cares? He's still gorgeous." Cassie said as the girls watched him sit at the Hufflepuff table. I looked around. Most of the girls in the Hall were watching him as well, whispering and giggling to each other. I thought I was going to vomit. Soon after it was time for class.
"Well goodbye dear ones, time to go to hell." I said and got up.
"Have fun in Potions, try not to hurt someone." Katie called after me. I turned around.
"No that would be you dear." I smiled.
I began to walk towards the dungeons, humming the new Weird Sister's song to myself. I realized my shoe had become untied, so I stopped to stoop down to tie it. No sooner had I stopped, then someone hurried into me. My books flew into the air and I almost fell to the ground. The person who ran into me grabbed my arm, saving me from falling.
"Why can't anyone watch where they are going!?" I said and turned around.
