Vhaidra cleared her throat and Ron looked up, as did Hermione who had beenn in front of the fireplace with a book.
"Welcome to Gryffindor!" Hermione greeted cheerfully. "Harry just went up to the boys' dormitories for a second, he should be down soon," she added.
"Um, where should we put our things?" Aeryn asked and nodded to their luggage.
"Follow me," Hermione said and closed her book, then she led the new Gryffindors to the girl's dormitory.
After the girls picked their beds and unpacked, Aeryn flopped down onto her bed and sighed. "Finally, somewhere I feel comfortable."
Vhaidra looked to her right and smiled. "Tell me about it." She shook her head and stood up. "Let's go see if Harry came down yet,"
As the girls walked down the stairs Harry and Ron just finished the game of wizarding chess they had been playing before Harry ran up to the boy's dormitories.
"Ron told me you guys made it to Gryffindor," Harry saidas the girls sat down.
"It's great, isnt it? Now we have you guys to show us around so we dont have to worry about getting lost," Ryanna said and giggled. "I wonder what our schedules are going to be like,"
Aeryn shrugged and took a look around before asking, "What's the library like here?"
At this question Hermiones head shot out from the book she was reading and answered her question; "Its wonderful, we have a lot of amazing books,"
"You'll have to show it to me tomorrow Hermione, I'd love to see it," Aeryn said and smiled.
"Well, its like 8:30 so I think I'm going to go up and get fully settled in and ready for bed," Vhaidra said with a yawn.
"Yeah, I think I'll do the same," Ryanna said and looked at Aeryn who nodded and stood.
"Well see you guys tomorrow and Hermione probably later. Good night!" Aeryn said with a smile.
Once Aeryn closed the door to the girls' dormitory she ran and jumped on her bed where her best friends were sitting. "It isn't that bad here, and Harry and his friends don't seem that bad. I just can't believe were here to-" She was cut off as a brown owl started pecking at a nearby window.
Ryanna got up and let the owl in. It flew to Aeryn and held out its leg so she couldremove the letter it had. As she did it looked around and nipped at Vhaidra when she tried to pet it so, as soon as the letter was off of it Vhaidra gave it a small push to send it off.
"Its from my mother," Aeryn said after she unrolled the letter and skimmed through it. "She says there is going to be a meeting next Saturday and we must attend. She says it will give us vital information about what we must do," the blonde said and bit her bottom lip.
Ryanna nodded and sighed "Nobody said this was going to be easy but we know we must go through with this or our lives are ruined," she said and her voice entered into a whisper.
Vhaidra leaned forward and the other two followed suit, "I heard there is a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. We should investigate this." The other two females nodded and Vhaidra's eyes moved from left to right at a rather slow pace like they normally did when she was thinking hard. "We go tonight, it might be the only chance we get,"
Aeryn nodded. "We cant take long though, we start classes tomorrow and cant be tired," was all she said before sitting up straight again. "I'm going to take a shower, you two dont do anything stupid" she said and pointed a finger at each then added; "I wanna be in on it so wait for me." She gathered her clothes and a towel and made her way to the bathroom, giggling on the way.
Vhaidra shook her head and Ryanna just rolled her eyes.
By the time Aeryn got out of the shower and had her curly blonde hair dried it was about 9:45 and Ryanna and Vhaidra were in bed. Aeryn quickly slipped into her own bed when she heard someone coming up the stairs. She snapped her eyes shut and started breathing deeper.
When she was certain everyone in the room was asleep, she quietly got up and made her way to Ryannas bed. "Ry, get up, its time to go," she whispered. Ryanna slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them, then sat up and pushed the covers off of herself.
Aeryn made her way to Vhaidra and woke her up the same way, whispering so only she heard. Vhaidra and Ryanna were both up and out of bed in 5 minutes and ready to do what they had planned.
A few minutes later, three cats made their way from the Gryffindor tower. They silently made their way down the flights of stairs and through several hallways before the leading one stopped and hid in the comfort of the shadow. The other two followed the leading grey one and looked for the source of the soft footfalls they heard coming their way. They followed the sound of the footfalls while still in the shadows and watched as three heads seemed to come out of nowhere then bodies appeared a few seconds afterward.
"...Mr.Grimes...half vampire..." was all the first cat heard the first person, a dark-haired boy, say. A bushy-head girl nodded and a red-headed boy seemed to pale a little.
The grey cat looked back at the two cats behind her and saw both intense stares on her.
