"Tamber, hurry up! We're going to miss the last carriage!" Atala called to Tamber, who was currently hopping off the train, pulling her stocking up and gripping the shoelaces of her shoe in her teeth since she had no hands left to carry it.
After Tamber managed to get her shoe on, both her and Atala hopped into the last carriage left. To their surprise and bad luck, Draco was the one who occupied the carriage.
"This is lovely," Atala said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes and sat down diagonally from Draco.
"Peachy!" Tamber exclaimed with fake enthusiasm and a corny grin plastered on her face as she took the seat next to Atala.
"Look who we have here! The Gryffindork and…uh… Tammy, isn't it?" Draco greeted them.
"Aw, look, Tamber. Look at the little boy who thinks he's so cool, calling people names," Atala said to Tamber. Tamber didn't care though. Her anger was boiling.
"Tamber! Say it with me: Tam-ber! T. A. M. B…" she started, but her ranting was cut off by a hand over her mouth. It belonged to Atala.
"Okay, Tamber. As much as I hate to say it, he's not that stupid," Atala said quickly, trying to calm her friend down. As pleasant as Tamber seemed most of the time, when she was mad, she got violent.
"Look! School!" Tamber exclaimed as Atala removed her hand from Tamber's mouth.
"Thank Godric…" Atala muttered as she stepped out of the carriage.
"Well, it seems our time has run out, girls, but I guess I'll see you later," Draco said, winking. Atala shuddered.
"He's so full of himself," Atala said, grimacing. Tamber, however, had a vacant look on her face. Atala, realizing what this vacant look was for, began to panic. "Tamber, don't go to the dark side! Stay with me!" She snapped her fingers in front of Tamber's face, bring her out of the trance.
"My bad," Tamber said simply. She then changed subjects. "Let's go to the feast; I'm starving!" They then made their way to the great hall.
"I'll see you later," Atala said, both she and Tamber going to their own tables which, ironically, were right next to each other.
Tamber sat down and looked behind her. "Hey, Atala! Oh, look! It's Harry Potter!"
Atala looked behind her, then beside her. "Well, this is improbable."
"Oh, hello, Atala," Harry greeted. He nodded behind him. "Tamber." She grinned in reply.
Tamber's stomach then made a loud rumble. She frowned. "When will the food appear? I think my stomach might eat itself if I wait any longer." She then added, "I knew I should've grabbed some cake on the train."
Tamber might've continued to whine, but was interrupted by Albus Dumbledore, who was about to announce that the sorting was to begin. Tamber then smiled, for she knew that meant the feast would be soon.
Many minutes and loud stomach growls later, all the first years had been sorted and the feast began.
"Yessss!" Tamber said, shoving her fist in the air. She then immediately began to stuff her face.
While Tamber was too busy eating to talk to anyone, Atala began to converse with Harry, Hermione and Ron.
"So… how did you guys do on your O.W.L.S.?" Atala asked.
"Oh, I think I did just dreadful. I look back at it and realize all the things I could've done to get a better score," Hermione complained. Atala somewhat expected this, even though she hadn't really known Herms that long.
Atala turned to her side. "What about you, Harry?"
"Better than I expected. I can actually continue studying to be an Auror."
Atala was about to ask Ron, but stopped herself when she noticed he was as engrossed in his food as Tamber.
"Well, I believe I did very well," Atala stated, stick her head up with pride. "I don't think I'll have any trouble with these advanced classes.
Tamber, hearing the last part of the conversation, turned around to say something. "I'm so excited! I get to have advanced Potions with Professor Snape!" Everyone just stared at her as she looked admiringly up at said professor.
"Anyway… Atala, this is sort of changing subjects, but… I noticed that in this lighting, your eyes are two different colors. Brown and green, right?" Harry said.
"Uh, yeah. I was born this way. It's kind of weird, but it makes me original," Atala said as she blushed and tucked her hair behind her ears, turning away.
Tamber interrupted Atala's thoughts. "I'm stuffed. I think I'm going to head back to my common room. Would anyone like to join me?"
"Sure. I wasn't very hungry to begin with," Atala replied, standing up. She was followed by Neville, Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Look, I have a posse!" Tamber said, somewhat air-headedly. Everyone rolled their eyes as Tamber simply linked her arm with Neville's and began to skip down the hall.
