"Do you think she's okay?" A voice whispered.
Elizabeth felt like her head was spinning.
"I don't know. Oh wait it looks like she's waking up." Someone replied.
Elizabeth managed to crack her eyes open entirely. She was lying in a bed in some sort of hospital wing.
"Are you okay?" A voice asked. She turned her head to the right and saw Remus standing there, looking concerned.
"Y-Yeah…" She replied shakily.
"Here. Have some chocolate." He handed her a brown bar of candy.
She stared at it curiously.
"What's chocolate got to do with anything?" He laughed.
"It's sort of like a Wizarding remedy for things like headaches." He explained.
Elizabeth nodded, feeling like she had a lot to learn when it came to magic.
"So McGonagall asked us to show you around." Remus explained kindly.
"Us? Who else is gonna-" Elizabeth was cut off by the image of three other boys running towards them.
"Oy! Remy!" Sirius bellowed.
Remus rolled his eyes. "Yeah. All of us." He finally said.
Elizabeth nodded.
"This is the Gryffindor common room." Remus told her as they stood in front of the luxurious room. "The prefect explained it as 'the perfect place to relax after a tiresome day of lessons', but I don't think you'll want to relax here. Not with those two in the room." Remus said darkly, glaring at Sirius and James, who were trying to teach Peter to do a cartwheel. "The staircase over there is to the girl's dormitories and the staircase on the other side is to the boy's."
Elizabeth nodded in understanding. It was all a lot for her to grasp, as her parents were what they called 'muggles'.
"Hey Lizzy!" Sirius called.
Elizabeth's eyes darkened. "Don't call me that please."
"Why not, Lizzy?" James taunted.
Elizabeth rolled her eyes and walked over to the girl's staircase. Turning, she stuck her tongue out at the boys and continued up the stairs. She had a feeling that this would be a long year.
"Excuse me?" Elizabeth asked when she reached her dorm room. Three other girls were sitting on the floor, chatting happily.
One girl with golden red hair and green eyes looked up at her. She smiled.
"Hi! You must be Elizabeth." She said, as she stood up. "I'm Lily."
Elizabeth smiled and nodded.
"This is Whitney Anderson," She gestured towards the brown-eyed girl. She shook her black hair out of her eyes and grinned. "And this is Madi Pearson." She continued, pointing to a perky looking blue-eyed girl with her brown hair in two plaits down the sides of her head.
Elizabeth nodded again.
"We've already picked our beds, so I hope you don't' mind having that one in the corner over there." Whitney said kindly.
"No, it's okay." Elizabeth grinned.
"So I heard that you've already met the losers?" Madi said.
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. "The losers?"
Lily laughed. "James, Sirius, Remus and Peter."
Elizabeth laughed with Lily. "Yeah, they showed me around."
"They may be losers, but they're hot." Whitney piped up.
"Ew! Peter is not hot. EW!" Madi shrieked.
"Ugh gross. I wasn't talking about him, I meant the other three."
"Potter's a git though." Lily added casually.
"How come?" Elizabeth asked curiously.
"Well I was at the top of the stairs, waiting for McGonagall to bring us to the Great Hall for the sorting, and he kinda sauntered up to me and was like, 'hey you're hot. go out with me?" Lily explained.
"Ehmagawd. No way!" Madi exclaimed. "What'd you say?"
"No of course!" Lily said darkly.
"WHY!" Madi asked.
"He's so freaking hot…" Whitney added dreamily.
Lily noticed that Elizabeth wasn't part of the giggling and shrieking. "Never mind. Anyways. Welcome to Hogwarts, Elizabeth."
"Thanks. You can call me Liz if you want." She added.
Lily looked relieved. "Oh thank God. Elizabeth is really a mouthful sometimes."
Whitney smirked. "Definitely."
Elizabeth smiled. She finally felt like she was fitting in.
