Chapter 2
"Ahh, yes, Hogwarts, my home for the next year. And believe me; I will make this a special year"
Gilderoy, and the rest of his classmates, clamored up the large stone steps in to the Great Hall, like always he sat in the middle of the Hufflepuff (his house) table so he could be visible to anyone who looked at it.
"Hi Gilderoy!" Gilderoy looked up to see his best friend, Kyle Piddlington, and popular student, who was never bias, racist, and was loved by the whole student body, a.k.a. extremely wholesome. At Hogwarts, there were cliques like any muggle school; of course there were the "evil ones" which included most of the Slytherins, who didn't take crap from nobody. Cough* Bellatrix* cough. Then, of course there was the mischievous group, which obviously was the Marauders and some other Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaw, who idolized them, and did mischief just do be accepted. Then there was the popular crowd, who were loved and cherished by most of the student body. Usually they were intelligent, considerate, nice, prefects, a.k.a perfect. Gilderoy was part of this group. Even though he was made fun of by the Marauders, that was only a snippet of the entire Hogwarts school population, he had a good amount of admirers too, and I won't lie to you, he was quite the popular guy. I mean sure he was a little too "wonderfully forward" and tad bit arrogant, but a lot of the girls, especially the Hufflepuff girls had crushes on him, they just didn't run after him begging him to make out with them in the trophy room, well, just to make a long story short, he was handsome, wealthy and everyone was convinced that he would be famous one day, or at the very least infamous.
"Kylie! Hey, I hope your summer was as fabulous as mine" Gilderoy said, excited to find his friend so early into the first day, with so many students it was hard to find anyone.
"Oh, dismal as always, my muggle mum, still doesn't know what's going on and its like my 6th year, you would think that she understands by now that I AM MAGICAL, but well..." Kyle explained shrugging his shoulders.
Gilderoy shook his head "Tsk Tsk, muggles can be sooo naïve..." Kyle laughed out loud, "Well, you kinda get used to it" he added before he was interrupted.
"GILDY!!!!" came a shriek from behind them. Kyle and Gilderoy twisted around on the bench to see their best gal friend, Mona Croft rush toward them. Gilderoy could tell that she had bough a new robe, it was burnt a little in some places, probably from her mother (a very nice woman, he had met her once at Platform 9 ¾) ironing them too much.
Mona was a bit dusty in the attic, if you know what I'm saying, but none the less, she always seemed to get very good marks, and Gilderoy admired her for that. Mona had huge, gray, yet mysterious eyes, and a sandy brown bob with a petit pink bow on top, Gilderoy never could understand how it stayed on the whole day, as it seemed to just lie gently on top of her head, he figured it was some kind of charm.
"GUESS WHAT I GOT TO DO THIS SUMMER!" Mona exclaimed, as she slid into the spot next to Kyle.
"Ahh! WHAT! You screwed a bird?" Kyle said sarcastically.
"NOOOO" Mona said impatiently. She looked at both of them dramatically.
"Well, since my dad works in the ministry, right? He always gets us tickets to the Quidditch championships" She said.
"So, I get tickets too." Kyle said furrowing his eyebrows.
"Shut it, you git, I'm not finished yet. A-anyway, so we got front seats, very exclusive. So we were just a-sittin' ya know, when Dad recognizes the referee is a very old, good friend. So they have a nice chat, and I'm just minding my own business, looking at the hot athletes, with those hot shin guards, and—well I'm getting carried away, so then my dad's friend, I think his name was.. Umm... Archie, yeah that's it. Anyhoodles, so you'll never guess what happens next! He hands me the quaffle, THE QUAFFLE! And I get to, get this! I GOT TO THROW THE QUAFFLE IN THE AIR TO START THE GAME!" Mona said so loudly that nearly everyone in the Great Hall heard her. And before Kyle, Mona or Gilderoy knew it, they were being trampled. Mona this, Mona that, Mona did you meet that hot player Jerrig Kasleman? Gilderoy was becoming extremely annoyed. Possibly because he was surrounded by anxious people, but they weren't there for him! Annoyance, annoyance.
Finally everything died down quite a bit and everyone could get back to their semi-normal lifestyles.
"So, that's been our excitement" Kyle said pushing away the remaining envious 1st years. Mona was still on an attention high looking desperately around for more admirers and slapping Kyle on the back of his head as she saw him push away a couple more students.
"Hey! Those are mine!" She said running after the two 2nd years who wanted to learn more about throwing up the quaffle.
Kyle laughed as Mona aggressively grabbed the back of their robes and pulled them back. Gilderoy wasn't paying the least bit attention. He was staring at that certain red headed beauty talking to her friends. Gilderoy couldn't help but stare. She looked so gorgeous leaning against the wall flipping her long red hair, that he was sure was as soft as it looked.
"Got your eye on Lily Evan's this year?" Kyle said leaning against Gilderoy. Gilderoy turned his head towards Kyle as Mona joined them.
"Perhaps..." Gilderoy said
"I thought she was stuck on James Potter" Mona questioned.
"No, He's stuck on her" Kyle reminded her. "And as far as I'm concerned Gild, she ain't paying you no heed." Mona nodded in agreement.
"We'll see about that" Gilderoy said patting them both on the shoulder and he turned gracefully on his heel and headed towards the Hufflepuff Common room.
They entered the common roomed adorned with yellow and black. Gilderoy wished that Hufflepuff didn't have those two colors, as they just clashed terribly, but he'll survive. It was very unusual for Gilderoy to be this quiet for this amount of time. Mona and Kyle were beginning to feel extremely awkward.
"Uhh... Well Gild'roy, I think I better hit the hay" Mona said slowly, hoping that her best friend would crack out of his shell. But Gilderoy just nodded with smile and she hesitantly made her way up to her dormitory.
Gilderoy was too deep in thought to even recognize that nearly the entire Hufflepuff congregation was staring at him, probably thinking the same thing. "WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR GILDEROY?" He didn't care though; he quietly descended up the steps to his dormitory. He was tired and his brain was starting to hurt.
A/N: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING, I am so sorry it took so long; I just have a terrible problem of delaying things. I just have a poll for all you loyal Gildy readers to take.
What Should Happen Between Gilderoy and Lily? Should his love antics bring her and James together Should they go out and then Gilderoy run away from a problem involving her. OTHER I'm sorry that's a terrible poll, but if you have ANY ideas at all, please bring them up. I don't care, if your idea is that Gilderoy temporarily turns into a monkey or something, I just want ideas. Thanks chums!
