Homesickness and Lunch
It was the middle of the night and Celia was tossing and turning; she couldn't fall asleep. Shedrew back the curtains of her four-poster-bed and sat up. She needed to talk to Hermione. Celia tip-toed out of her room, careful not to wake anyone. When she entered Hermione's room she saw Parvati and Lavender gossiping loudly on their beds and Hermione sitting at her desk, books surrounding her, undisturbed by the noise. Celia thought this was strange because at home if she made any noise while Hermione was working, Hermione flipped out. She reached Hermione, unnoticed by Parvati and Lavender.
"Hermione?" Celia asked timidly.
"Yes," Hermione answered not looking up.
"I wanna go home…" Celia responded starting to cry.
"Oh," said Hermione soothingly looking up at her. "Come here," she said, moving to her bed and sitting down on it, "shhh, it will be alright, its okay." Celia buried her head in Hermione's shoulder. Hermione started stroking her hair and whispering soothing words until she fell asleep then levitated her to her own room.
>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>
Celia came into consciousness, there was a bright light shining right into her eyes. She rolled over, but the light was still there. Wasn't there supposed to be a wall there? Her bed was in a corner, and wasn't therea blackoutshade? Celia opened her eyes, where was she? She wasn't at home. Then every thing came back to her, she was really here, she was really a witch, she was really at Hogwarts!
Celia rolled back over and put on her glasses, then picked up her watch, it was 11:30am. Celia got up and realised that she was the only one in the room. She quickly got dressed, put in her contactsand made her way down to the common room.
Once there she spotted Hermione and her boyfriend, Ron. Celia inwardly gave a sigh of relief, now she didn't need to ask a complete stranger how to get to the Great Hall.
"Er, Hermione," Celia said.
"What is now?" Hermione snapped. Celia always hated her temper.
"I just wanted to know how to get to the Great Hall, I don't want to get lost." Said Celia, tears forming in her eyes.
Ron looked at her sympathetically, "Come on Hermione, let'sjust show her." His stomach growled. "I think its time for lunch anyway" he pouted.
"Okay come on," Hermione said, reluctantly walking toured the portrait hole.
Once Hermione was ahead of him he whispered to Celia, "how did you put up with her for 11 years?"
"I heard that comment Ronald Weasley!" Hermione shouted.
"I was only joking" said Ron walking toward her, "but I know you love me anyway." He gave her one of his crooked grins.
Celia could see her sister'sface change from fury to adoration, "Remember I'm still here! I don't want to have to see this, it's bad enough I have to hear about it all summer!"
Ron turned around at the sound of Celia's voice. "Celia's right Hermione, and I thought we were going to lunch" Ron's stomach growled again, "'cause I'm hungry."
"You'realways hungry." Hermione said.
"True," replied Ron. "Come on Celia we'll take you down to the Great Hall."
As they were walking down the hall, Ron lagged behind to talk to Celia. "Was she always so mean to you?" Ron asked curiously.
"No," replied Celia. "We used to get along really well, and then…." Celia's voice trailed off and a memory come flooding back to her, she was five and Hermione was eleven, It was a day everything changed.
It was a typical summer day in the Granger household. Celia was sitting on her chair eating cereal with a spoon, which was a big accomplishment since she usually picked the cereal out of the milk with her hands. Hermione was reading, Celia didn't know what book it was because she was just learning how to read. Then their babysitter came into the kitchen with the mail.
"Hermione, there is a letter for you," she said placing the letter on the page she was reading. Hermione placed the letter to the side of her plate and continued reading.
"Do I have a letter?" Celia asked looking up at her pleadingly.
"No sweetie, but I bet if you ask Herm nicely, she'll let you open her letter."
Celia slid down off the chair and walked over to Hermione, "Hermy," Celia said looking at Hermione though her questioning wide eyes. "Can I please open the letter for you?"
"Only if you try to read it," Hermione knew that Celia needed practice with her reading, and it seemed like a fair deal to her, Celia thought so to, so it was agreed.
Celia opened the letter and started reading. "Houg-war-tz sk-school of wi-with-cr-"
"Skip down to where it says 'dear'" Hermione said
"Oh, okay." Replied Celia. "Dear mi-miss Granger we are pl-ees-ed to i-in-f-or-m you…"
"Just give me the letter!" said Hermione.
"Will you read it out loud?" Celia asked.
"Yes, just give me the letter," Celia handed the letter over to Hermione. "Dear Miss Granger, We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of…"
Hermione nearly fainted. Then she blinked a few times and continued reading silently. Then flipped though the next two pages. "Is this some kind of joke?"
"Is it funny?" Celia asked
"What?" Hermione asked
"If it's a joke, is it funny?" Celia said turning her head to the side.
"No, this is not funny," Hermione snapped "not funny at all, according to this, I'm a, a witch…"
"You can't be a witch," said Celia "You're not green!"
