Chapter 4

Junior was walking down the hall with "the gang" towards the great hall for dinner. Tonight was supposed to have something special planned and nobody was allowed to sit until everyone was there and the Headmaster said so.

"Do those two ever shut up?" Drake asked in an annoyed tone.

"Not really, you should see them at Christmas. Just be glad you're in Hufflepuff and not in Gryffindor. They tell me that nobody sleeps."

"Someone in Hufflepuff does something like that only not all night, just until we yell at her to got o bed. Which is usually around when everyone else does. What was her name… ah yes Samantha or something like that."

"Oh you mean Sami, that girl in Herbology. Yeah she can be loud when she gets exited."

"Ohh you haven't seen her loud yet."

"The Quibbler is not a bunch of fake stories about nothing! I've seen plenty of things that are in there!"

"Like what? A shoelace?"

These were the last things said before they entered the Great Hall. Everyone split up to their tables and stood silently. Even the Weasley twins were silent. After everyone had entered and was standing silently, Headmaster McGonagall spoke. "Tonight we are having the first ever Mixing of the Houses. Every month half of the people at each house will switch with the other half of the selected table. I have already chosen the tables and how we will determine who moves. Tonight Gryffindor and Slytherin will switch with each other, along with Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Now every other person starting from the farthest from me will move tables." At this Half of the people sat down and the other half moved tables.

"This is my chance to meet him! Yay!" Sami thought to herself on the verge of giggling uncontrollably. She got up being one of the lucky half to get up, and rushed over to where Ryan was sitting. When she was less than 10 feet away she saw her mother at the Teachers' table. That face said "I knew it." Sami glared at her mother and sat next to Ryan anyway. "Hey Ryan"

"Excuse me, do I know you?"

"Yeah I'm one of the chasers on the Hufflepuff team you faced last week. I'm the one that knocked into you after Drake stole the Quaffle from me."

"Oh that was you? Well then hello…"

"Sami"

"Ah hello Sami."

"Are you always this formal?"

"Only when meeting new people. Kinda helps to get on their nice side. Never know when you're gonna need a good friend to help out."
