A/N: Well... here's Chapter Two! I'd just like to thank VonDutchBabe for my first review. Enjoy!

Parvati woke up 8:30 to her sister pulling at her to wake up. She didn't rise until at last Padma stole her lip gloss (Very Berry) and threatened to flush it down the toilet. She pulled on a fashionable muggle shirt and a pair of jeans and spent a half hour doing her hair and make-up. She then climbed down the marble steps and into the dining hall to find her family, once again, waiting for her. She reached for a waffle and carefully nibbled at one end. She took two sips of tea and stood up.

"I'm ready to go!" she said, refreshed by the food. Padma opened her mouth to say something and then stopped, shaking her head and continued on reading a section in the Daily Prophet.

Twenty minutes later the Patils got in their muggle car and drove to Kings Cross. After another 30 minutes, Parvati and Padma waved goodbye to their parents and got in a compartment. They were soon joined by Lavender Brown and Lisa Turpin of Ravenclaw. Parvati and Lavender immediately lapsed into talk about the latest wizarding fashion and whether the boys at Hogwarts got any cuter than last year while Lisa and Padma talked about the books they had read over vacation.

Soon enough, the Trolley Lady came by and all four girls bought sweets and pasties and sat down to enjoy them. Before long, Draco Malfoy stopped by for directions to Harry Potter's compartment; as he did every year and went off to pay Harry and Ron a visit. The girls then changed into their robes and finally settled down to watch the scenery and the sky get darker and darker.

At last, they stepped off the train and climbed into the carriages. They sat at their table and waited for the Sorting to begin. After all the scrawny first years were sorted, the feast began. Lavender started to pile food on her plate but stopped at the roast chicken. Parvati carefully put a small amount of carrots and peas on her plate and little bit of the boiled potatoes.

"What's up, Parvati?" Lavender asked her, "Not hungry?"

"Umm…yea, sure." Parvati said uncomfortably, "I'm not hungry at all…had a big breakfast, y' know." She then picked over her food while pretending to listen to the girl's chatter, not at all aware that someone was looking at her with a look of concern in his eyes.

The next morning Parvati was awoken bright and early by Peeves, who was blowing a loud raspberry in her dormitory. Cursing her ill luck at being woken up so early, she sleepily brushed her hair and did her make-up. By that time, she reckoned that it would be about time for breakfast so she climbed down the spiraling steps and into the common room. It was deserted as it always was at the beginning of new term.

Climbing down the many flights of steps that led to the Great Hall, Parvati finally flopped down in a seat on the Gryffindor table. The table was deserted all except for one person. In fact, the Great Hall was empty except for herself and George Weasly. Parvati nodded her head in greeting and helped herself to some porridge. George slid down the bench to sit next to her and pilled kippers and French toast on his plate.

"Why so early?" he asked

"Peeves" was her one- word answer. George nodded knowingly and started to eat breakfast. Parvati started to eat her porridge, all the while saying nothing.

"Don't you want to add some honey or sugar to that?" he asked, looking at her rather unadorned breakfast. She shook her head in reply,

"I would rather not eat sweet stuff right now…" he looked at her disbelievingly but did not pursue the matter and finished his breakfast in silence.
