Shifter

XVI

It was later that evening, and after Senna's second sorting that Senna frowned in semi-annoyance as she entered her dorm room, and it seemed that it wasn't just Ravenclaw and Gryffindor girl second years that were over-crowded, but Hufflepuff too, and she was the only one who wanted to move out, as the other girls must have gotten used to each other, and Senna felt weird intruding. She had never liked big crowds when she was Harry, and still didn't as Senna, so she was okay with having a room to herself if she had too.

Senna sighed as she closed the door behind herself; at least she had more space. Well, she thought she would have, but she was startled as she saw Luna staring at her surprised too from the other side of the room. It was odd. The room they were in had five doors. The one she entered through was yellow bleached wood with the Hufflepuff badger crest on it with a huge yellow themed four-poster bed next to it with her trunk at the end, and a desk next to it with a chair.

However, Luna stood next to a blue door with blue styled bed and bedding with the Ravenclaw crest on the door. Then, the wall next to Luna's was decked out with a crimson bed and bedding with Gryffindor crest on the door, and the wall next to that was green with the whole Slytherin thing going on.

The fifth door was white, and had a nice elegant plaque with 'Bathroom' written across it. The carpet was fluffy and comfortable looking in a neutral cream colour while the walls were painted white. The room had windows which all faced the lake somehow from different angles and positions that shouldn't have been possible in that one room no matter how large it was. The windows faced out, planted nicely above each of the desks, and were huge and airy; open a touch to let in the breeze.

Senna looked to Luna, and the blonde Ravenclaw shrugged in as much confusion before they started as the Gryffindor door opened and a scowling Ginny Weasley entered slamming the door behind her in annoyance. Ginny looked up to see Senna and almost threw herself across the room into her welcoming arms, holding on tight.

"Damn, I never knew Hermione could be that arrogant!" Ginny complained in frustration as she pulled back and didn't care that Luna saw as they kissed softly for a moment. "She can't stand being wrong, and can see she knows she's in the wrong. How long as she been like that?" Ginny asked.

Senna shrugged as she knew Hermione had been like that since Harry first met her. Hermione hadn't had any connections outside of authority figures, and the books she read, and sometimes it took her a while too long to think things over, and even longer to admit she might be wrong. Senna figured that with new people, such as Senna and Ginny, it would probably take a while for Hermione to let it drop, and maybe even admit she was wrong. Senna would have to try to be forgiving of Hermione, as the poor girl needed a friend, especially since losing Harry, and maybe once Hermione came around, Senna could help her think beyond the silly things people told her.

Ginny sighed as she just stared at Senna with a frown. "I guess, I can let it go," Ginny said with a pout, "and I know what she can be like, but she was just giving me this darn awful lecture about how you're wrong, and that killing is bad, and that you're probably going to be evil because she doesn't see that using dementors is just as bad, worse even than doing the deeds in person, but… okay, I can see that the more she said, the more she looked like she didn't believe herself. She just… she just got so carried away I guess, but-but… I swear if that girl talks smack about you again. I'm going to shove whatever stupid book she read her stupid crap from right up her bum hole!"

"Whoa, calm down sweetie," Senna answered in a soothing voice and light chuckle. "You should not belittle yourself by listening to Hermione's silly… well; they're not really her views, about stuff that has never affected her. Someday soon, hopefully she will understand, and come around, and learn that she should think things through for herself by observing the world… and you know, and them using soul sucking ghouls to describe them in every book I've seen… well?"

Ginny sighed as she in content as Senna kissed her forehead lovingly before Ginny looked around and finally realised what was odd about the scene. Her eyes drank in everything, from the beds, the five doors, and the Luna Lovegood that was with them, and watching their intimacy a little too curiously.

"W-where are we?" Ginny asked pulling back from Senna. "Oh… I get it, just dump the extras in the same magical space warping room together," she sighed in annoyance as Senna giggled, and then looked at her girlfriend before grinning widely. "Well, at least we're together," she said kissing Senna sweetly before pulling back, startled, not by Luna; she didn't mind Luna watching, as she could already tell their new friend would be very loyal to them no matter what, and she looked curious, and interested, not disgusted or anything like that, and Luna did give off the impression that she was very openminded – maybe too openminded.

However, the Slytherin door was yanked open and an unfamiliar thin, and regal, royal looking girl stalked in scowling deeper than Ginny was moments before. The girl was quite pretty with long straight light blonde hair hanging down to her butt, tied back with a silver clip at the base of her neck, and clipped from her icy grey eyes that right then looked as if they could sink a ship or two. She was dressed neatly in her Slytherin uniform which was likely custom made with some richer materials than most would wear, and likely lacking clothes underneath, as most pure-bloods, mostly Slytherins, boys and girls wore robes like a dress, which even Ginny thought was weird, as Robes like that were worn in the past because they were cheap and easy to make among the peasantry, not because it was fashionable.

"WHY THE HECK, DO I HAVE TO BE SURROUNDED BY MORONS!" the new blonde girl screamed in anger as she slammed her door closed. She had a highly posh voice and accent that even Senna's didn't have any of that royal snooty quality. Her normally pale cheeks were flamed bright red, and there was a light-yellow glow in her eyes where her magic seemed unsure whether it should do something crazy or not or the girl was obviously emotionally tender right then. "And I had always thought my older sister had brains, but no, she goes around sniffing up that pug bitches' arse, ugh, I hate the Parkinson's…!

"And she thinks I'm going to follow Pansy's sister around. I don't give a damn whether they're richer than us, and supposedly more powerful, and they can supposedly help the family out, or whatever connections they have! And I certainly want nothing to do with that Malfoy prick, Pansy and her sister is always sniffing around! That jerk is bad news for anyone with half a brain! The ignorant-arrogant-racist-murderer-wannabee scumbag loser, hating just to be 'cool', and that's not mentioning he's brainless too-boot. And that's just the short list of his reasonless and idiocy-!"

It was then she looked up from her little rant. Her cheeks paled at first before streaking red as she took in the other three occupants. She looked from one girl to the next before her eyes travelled over the four beds in the room before she groaned as if the world was out to get her, and right then the other girls would all agree that it probably was.

"Oh, freaking great," she complained. "I get rid of those freaking morons, and what do I get instead? A blood-traitor, a nut-bar of a blood-traitor, and a useless Hufflepuff…!"

"That's useless Hufflepuff half-blood-blood-traitor!" Senna corrected while holding off her laugh as the blonde was absolutely amusing.

"Oh, and a comedian too," she retorted rolling her eyes. "It's a shame she's not that funny."

"Her names Astoria Greengrass," Ginny spoke glaring at the Slytherin girl, "and this is Senna Nightly…!"

"Whatever," the Slytherin girl said rolling her eyes again as she stifled a yawn. "I don't care; it isn't like we're going to be friends or anything!"

"Why not…?" Senna asked startling all three girls, and they looked to her quickly. "I mean sure you're probably evil an all, but just you ask Hermione Granger, and she'll tell you that I'm heading down evil-Ville because I believe it would be so much nicer to slaughter terrorists like the Death Eaters over torturing them in Azkaban prison with an army of soul eating daemons..."

Astoria surprisingly snorted in amusement. "Then the uppity little mud-blood has been cheating to get such good grades. Heck, I would be happy to have my bloody head torn off over spending the rest of my life in that place. Those dementors are awful, and I was barely near them before they fled the patroni on the train. The two girls I heard that summoned them must be powerful; I wouldn't mind finding out…" She trailed off groaning as she looked at both Senna and Ginny's smug smirks.

"Oh great, it was you two," she complained with a tired sigh. "It's just my luck, stuck sharing a room with a powerful Gryffindor witch. I'll probably wake up bald tomorrow."

"I'm not going to attack you in the night Astoria," Ginny replied rolling her eyes. "I'm not an idiot like my brother Ron," she said in annoyance. "I don't see why we can't at least be friendly while sharing our room and the bathroom. I doubt you're as evil as most Gryffindors or you would want me to believe," she said with a small grin.

Astoria let a small smile line her lips. "Okay, I suppose you're not as bad as I thought."

"Then it's a deal. In this room there are NO houses like that, just us girls," Senna suggested to three identical nods of agreement. "What happens in our room stays in our room, and if we get comfortable enough for Astoria to actually be our friend outside of the room in the future then all the better."

"The last part ain't likely, but I'll agree to the rest," Astoria said nodding along with Ginny and Luna.

"Okay, well, good night angel's, tomorrow begins your first assignment!" Senna said snickering as they looked at her blankly. "Never mind girls," she said shaking her head as she easily slid out of her clothes until she was only wearing a black tee shirt she slipped on from her trunk, and pair of black panties she had been wearing under her dress. It would take some getting used to, having to dress and undress again, now she and Ginny had roommates, she couldn't use her gifts all the time.

Senna shrugged that thought away as it didn't really matter much as she climbed into her bed and snuggled under the covers only for Ginny to have removed her clothes, wearing white panties and tee, and snuggled into her arms moments later. Senna giggled with Ginny as they cuddled contently; warm and happy to be together as they thought they would have to wait until Christmas, or June to get to sleep in the same bed again.

"Are you supposed to be sharing a bed?" Astoria demanded while looking, and feeling confused as they looked so cosy together, and unbeknownst to them, she was thinking back to the last time she and her older sister snuggled in bed together, as they used to be really-close and she missed it.

"We can do what we like," said Senna. "You and Luna can join us if you want? These beds are massive."

"No thank you," the Slytherin girl said hotly almost pausing to think about it.

"What about you Luna?" asked Ginny as she looked the other blonde over as she had stripped to her underwear.

"T-that's a kind offer, but I wouldn't want to intrude on your first night here together, maybe some other time," Luna replied smiling at her two new friends as she climbed into her bed at the same time Astoria claimed her own, mumbling about silly girls.

Senna and Ginny looked at each other and smiled as one of the other girls turned out the lights before they kissed each other's lips, deeply with tongue, and snuggling tighter as they finally drifted off into the world of dreams.

The following evening, Senna frowned in frustration as she had misplaced her girlfriend. However, thinking about it she and Ginevra were heading back to their dorm so maybe she was not paying enough attention and had just gotten lost. She had only been a Hufflepuff for a day so far, and the first day of school had been very boring. She had been through it all before so she already knew she would be top of the class without even trying too hard, to start with at least.

Senna sighed in annoyance wondering how she even ended up – well upstairs; she was certain a few minutes before she was going downstairs. The Hufflepuff common room was in the basement of the castle after all, so she figured heading down would get her closer to her destination. She did not have any reason to be upstairs, but then maybe she could do a little exploring while she was there. She had never actually been in this part of the school before so it could be interesting.

It looked like nobody had cleaned this part of the school in a few years. The wood was covered in dust and spider webs. It was somewhat creepy, dark, and damp and if she didn't feel as confident in her cursing power she might have run away, but now she had gotten curious. This school should be considered a historic monument or something like that, so why don't these idiots treat it better? If it belonged to her, it would have been awesomeness personified in its comfort, cleanliness, and modern conveniences.

Sighing and rolling her silver-coloured eyes, Senna looked around poking her head in disused rooms with broken desks and chairs dumped in them, and busted blackboards and other broken things that someone threw out and didn't think to fix and recycle. You would think that with magic they would not have to be so wasteful. She half wondered whether they just threw the train away that she and Ginny damaged, and replaced it before shaking that silly thought off.

Senna just shook those thoughts away as she finally opened a huge room with shelves full of dusty stuff, she might like to take for herself, so she entered without a second thought. She looked around and found some really-old looking books, and all sorts of other stuff that might have been hidden away for centuries by hoarders. The books she had gotten from Destiny's Shop were nothing like some of these so she pulled off her school backpack, and stole some that sounded like they would be entertaining, or contain some fun spells for later examination and use.

It paid to be smart and have a magically bigger on the inside backpack. She did wonder why space-dimension-altering-magic wasn't more restricted, as it sounded heller dangerous to her, just saying it like that sounded like they should categorise spells on danger, power, and use rather than light or dark (good or evil). She made a mental note to find someone boring enough, yet smart enough to choose letters for each types of magic or something, like A for high tier magic, and E for the lowest tier magic, and S for special tier magic, and maybe even SSS for that magic you should probably – well; that you should NEVER use, or even think of, and that should probably make you flinch harder than a coward hearing Voldemort's name.

It was only common sense to use the bag since she had it anyway, and Senna hadn't heard of any magic like it going wrong before, when you had to carry around so many heavy books it was a must have. It even had lightening charms. Senna noticed that quite a few of the books were on super-questionable magic (A and S rank magic she was sure, after they were properly catalogued), but she didn't much care about that right then as they would be cool to own anyway, even if they turned out to be duplicates of books she already owned.

If Senna had to fight morons and whatever, it was best to know how to fight like them, and what magic they might use and how to reverse their magic too. It was all good reading too, so she would be happy looking through the books, and maybe take a few ganders, and add letters herself while reading and learning the spells. Senna continued looking around at some mouldy old clothes that held no interest until she came across a dusty cloak that called out to her.

Senna was surprised as she used her wand to get rid of the dust that it wasn't mouldy or ripped like she would expect. It really reminded her of her Invisibility Cloak in that she could feel something while touching it. However, unlike her other cloak that felt soft like water, this one felt like nothing, like touching the air.

It was a soft black cotton-silk combination in appearance. It was long, and when she put it on, over her shoulders it hung to her ankles where it has a tattered effect at the end like a bat's wings. It had dark, blackened platinum fastenings, a high black collar that folded around her neck, and a pointed hood. However, when Senna finished fastening it on with her uniform she was startled, and her eyes widened in awe and shock.

It spread out like bat wings, stiff, but rather than flapping it glided Senna off her feet. It surprisingly felt like a broom, but not quite – it was the same, but different, as she felt the magic flow through her rather than around. Senna took a deep breath to stop from panicking before her small black half-boots touched down, and the cloak dropped back to hug her body, and she grinned her widest.

"Wow, this cloak is awesome," Senna said giggling as she started hunting for more cool stuff someone had foolishly hidden away in the room of cool stuff for her to rob, name pending.

Senna really couldn't find anything else, but junk and was about to leave when she spotted a small nondescript black wooden box on a high shelf near the back shoved in a corner. She used her new cloak to fly up to the right level and pulled it down to the ground as she felt some tiny sparks of power coming from it.

Therefore, Senna set her new find on the ground and knelt in front of it looking it over in confusion, as she couldn't see how it opened, but it had a really-mouldy looking, and very old piece of parchment pinned to the top. She pulled it off, looked over the old cursive script, and read it aloud.

"I warn you fair-child, do not tempt fate, and do not open this box for within is a Menace Servant…" she read it over several times but realised that the rest of the warning had worn away.

Shrugging, Senna started fiddling with the box and cried out in triumph as the lid popped off and something rattled and fell out. Senna placed the box and lid down before looking down at this odd 'white' flesh coloured doll with green hair down to the bottom of her neck, and long ear like antenna things where her ears should have been, poking up above her head.

Senna picked the doll up, and almost dropped it in surprise. It felt soft and flesh-like. It even had tiny breasts that felt so real. It was a little dirty and took a few moments to de-dust. She was really quite a pretty doll with all the joints being the only things about her that looked remotely artificial. It was certainly around the same size as a ragdoll toy, or something like that, bigger than a fairy, and reminded Senna of a puppet with strings, only she didn't have the strings.

It had a dirty card attached by some rotting string around its right wrist. "So, your names, Chachazero," Senna said as she read the 'hi my name is…' on one side of the tag before looking on the other side to see some Latin words before the dolls name. "Okay, so that must be a spell… I suppose it won't hurt to see what you do," she said forgetting about the warning. She cleared her throat for a moment before taking a deep breath and saying the spell.

"Adspiro vita, Chachazero!" Senna said hopefully. She frowned as she shook the little doll, but nothing had happened, and she had half expected some big display of magic, but nothing, that wasn't nice, and certainly not cool, so she dropped the doll to the floor and groaned.

"Ouch… hey, what's the big idea dropping me on my head!"

Senna looked down in surprise to see the little doll sitting up on her tiny little butt while rubbing her little head and glare pouting her little green eyes up at her, with antenna bending at joints like a feline when annoyed. Senna couldn't believe her eyes, as the doll now looked and felt so alive apart from the joints, and the slight artificialness in the faces design, and poking her she was no longer cold but warm.

"Hey, don't poke me," the small cute voice of the doll complained as her cheeks lit a little as she looked down at herself. "Hey, where's my clothes, Master?" she asked looking around for them before looking up at one of the shelves with a little mahogany doll clothe-chest a few shelves high. "There they are Master, that's my clothes-chest…" she said as she stood up with her little antenna ear things twitching at the joints.

However, when Chachazero started jumping up and down trying to reach her clothes-chest, Senna couldn't help but burst out laughing, which earned her the evil eye as she reached out and pulled the chest down and placed it before the little doll.

"There's no need to laugh Master," she said as she opened her trunk and started digging through some clothes. "I've been sleeping for ages. I'm still a little weak on my feet, but you're pretty-powerful, so I'm starting to feel better," she said as she pulled out some white panties before slipping them on before finding a blue dress and slipping it on over her head and with Senna's help did it up at the back. She then pulled on some little blue shoes and a white headband before pulling off the tag on her arm and lobbing it away.

"So… Chachazero, what are you…?" Senna asked after the little doll girl was finally dressed and had locked up her clothes-chest.

"I'm Chachazero, Master," she answered with a wicked smile. "You woke me up so I'll hang with you and stuff and if you need me to, I'll do all of your evil bidding!" she said happily drifting off into thought of all the evil she might do. Then somehow, she pulled a huge black sword out of nowhere and looked quite menacing. It had the whole army knife sword cross breed look and should have been too big and heavy for her to lift, but it was bigger than she was, and she looked like she wasn't even struggling. It would be considered overkill for Senna to carry a sword (to the doll), giant knife (to Senna) like that.

Senna smiled a little, as it was quite the amusing sight. "I umm… don't think I need any evil bidding being… well bided right now, but I'll be sure to call on you if I have an enemy, I need cutting or smiting."

"Right, Master," Chachazero agreed as she placed the sword out of sight behind her back (somehow) and when she brought her hands back it was gone. Senna just sighed, and wrote it off to her being a magical doll and wondered whether she shouldn't have woken her before shrugging. She could be useful, after all, who would suspect a cute little talking doll of being evil? A part from everyone in the world, especially those who enjoy horror films, or books, or games.

"Okay, Chachazero, just, umm… at least try to pretend not to be evil," Senna replied with a smile as she placed the dolls chest into her backpack on her back and picked the doll up and sat her on her right shoulder.

"Oh, okay, I understand, I'll try," Chachazero replied as they headed to the exit and out into the hall. It had gotten darker so she was quick in moving in what she hoped was the correct direction to her common room. "We don't want everyone thinking we're up to bad stuff," she said before they started passing some reprimanding paintings.

"I wouldn't trust those people in the pictures if I were you," the doll whispered into Senna's ear. "I bet they're all connected to spy on people. This is still a school, right?" she asked and continued at Senna's nod. "They always used the paintings to spy on the students…" she trailed off to silence as Professor McGonagall rounded a corner.

"Miss. Nightly, what are you doing here? The headmaster sent me from the staff meeting?" she demanded eyeing her in suspicion. However, she didn't mention how or why the headmaster would know she was there.

"Oh, sorry Professor," Senna said sheepishly. "I, umm… kind of got lost after I was with Ginny half walking with her to her common room, so I started looking around before I realised it was getting late, and tried looking for the way to the Hufflepuff common room."

McGonagall sighed while shaking her head. "There's always one…" she muttered to herself more than Senna. "You're almost back in the Entrance Hall; just carry on down this hall and through the doors at the end and you'll be back in the Entrance Hall. I trust you know the way from there?"

"Yes, ma'am," Senna agreed nodding as she quickly rushed off waving. However, McGonagall was startled as she watched the smiling little doll turn and wave happily to her too as they hurried away. She sighed. The kids sometimes had some of the weirdest toys, but at least that one was just a cute little doll, she shuddered at the memory of others, and would come to someday wish for the terror of the others when she realised how wrong she was about Senna's doll.

Senna and Chachazero were soon underground heading through the basement. "Why would my Master be a Hufflepuff; they're useless!" the doll whined as they came to the entrance to the common room.

"No one suspects useless," was the answer she got while Senna smirked at her smugly. "But why aren't you speaking… old fashioned…?"

Chachazero shrugged her little shoulders. "Don't know," she answered. "Magic I s'pose," she guessed reasonably.

"Hmm… well, I guess magic is really odd," Senna agreed. "My cloak has flying powers. I found it in that room you were in; it's pretty cool."

"Wow, flying is useful when doing evil!" Chachazero said with a thoughtful smile as Senna opened the secret entrance into Hufflepuff.

Senna didn't pay attention to the very few people hanging around the Hufflepuff common room as she quickly got to her room with her new living dolly (who probably wasn't in any horror films – yet) to find Ginny, Astoria and Luna.

Ginny looked relieved as she saw her. "Senna," she said getting up from where she sat on her bed with her homework. "I was worried," she reprimanded as they hugged and kissed with Luna blatantly watching in fascination, and Astoria blushing and trying to stay looking away even though she watched out of the corner of her eye anyway.

"Master, who's she?" Chachazero interrupted causing Ginny to jump back staring at the little doll in shock and confusion, both Luna and Astoria now staring at her too, the latter in worry.

"Oh, right, Ginny, Astoria, Luna, this is our… umm, new roommate, Chachazero," Senna introduced her with an impish smile. "Chachazero, this is my girlfriend Ginny, and our roommates, Luna and Astoria," she said pointing them out in turn.

"Hi, I'm Chachazero. I'm not evil or anything," she greeted causing Ginny and Astoria to grimace, but Luna to smile.

"Well, that's good news isn't it, Ginny, Astoria?" Luna said with her smile widening.

"You just believe her because she says she's not evil?" Astoria said in annoyance. "I bet that doll is so evil. I should know evil; I am a Slytherin after all."

"Wow," Chachazero said with a wide grin as she stood up on Senna's shoulder. "Salazar Slytherin was a dick… almost as much of a dick as Godric Gryffindor, but at least their student's waged war with each other and stuff! That's always fun I suppose."

"You knew the Founders?" they all asked simultaneously.

"Nope," she answered causing them to look dopey with surprise. "But the way their students keep fighting and crap they have to be dicks. The only reason Slytherin is slightly better is because they're not… or they're not supposed to be as stupid, but I'll always leave judgement open on that one!"

"At least I'm not a Hufflepuff," Astoria muttered, as she didn't think she could defend her house when she half agreed with the doll.

"Yeah…" Chachazero began but trailed off. "Umm… hey that's my Masters house," she said as she flew off Senna's shoulder with an oversized (for her) dark silver hunting knife in each tiny hand.

Astoria screamed but Chachazero never got near that far, as Senna nonchalantly plucked the doll out of the air by the scruff of her dress. "Rule one, Chacha, is NO killing, maiming or hurting ANY of my roommates!"

"Aww, but Master," the doll whined childishly. "Not even a… you know, a little?"

"Not even a little," Senna agreed to the pouting doll as she plopped her onto her bed where her knives had seemed to just not be in her hands any more

"S-see, that doll is evil…!" Astoria said looking both scared and grateful to Senna for saving her. "W-where the hell did you find her?"

"Umm… I'm not sure, I got lost," Senna said sheepishly. "I umm… found all sorts of junk but some cool stuff like Chachazero too," she said looking thoughtful.

"Where'd her knives go…?" Ginny asked eyeing the doll in curiosity.

"They're my favourite knives silly," Chachazero replied with a sweet innocent smile. "But I'm not evil… I'm umm… really good," she added looking to Senna. "They won't think I'm evil again, Master, I'm sure of that, right?" she asked looking at the three girls.

"O-of course, you're not… y-you're definitely not evil…" Astoria quickly agreed looking at the doll nervously.

Ginny just shook her head with a sigh. "Okay, so you bring home a… not evil doll, can she at least do something useful?"

"I can smite your enemies," Chachazero suggested with a grin. "Anyone gives you girls any trouble, you come and see me and I'll cut them for you since you're my Masters best friends!"

"See Astoria, she's very nice and not evil at all," Luna said with a smile. "She just promised to cut people who are mean to us… that's quite sweet isn't it?"

Astoria could only sigh sadly. "Damn, why can't you be normal, Lovegood?"

"What is normal but another person's abnormal?" Luna replied with a shrug.

"Wow, that actually made sense," Senna butted in, awed. "I didn't know you studied philosophy Luna."

"Am I the only sane person here!?" Astoria demanded in annoyance.

"No," Ginny replied with a small smile. "You just haven't realised you're a nutter too."

Astoria pouted as she flopped back onto her bed. "I've been back at school for one day and already feel like I need a holiday."

"Well, I'm going to go to sleep," Senna said while rolling her eyes. She just stripped down, hiding her new cloak away with her old one in her trunk and stripping until she was in her white panties and tee shirt sitting on her bed with a smile as Ginny had placed her homework away and copied suit with Luna before Astoria eyed the doll one last time before stripping too.

"I'm ready for bed now Master," the little doll interrupted the girls as she had stripped to just her panties and was surprisingly climbing into a small doll sized bed on Senna's chest of draws and snuggling under her covers.

"Okay," Senna said looking confused. "Wow, this school is messed up," she said with a shrug as she realised it sent her a tiny bed for Chachazero.

Shaking her head, Senna climbed under her covers and was surprised when after Ginny had snuggled into her arms that Astoria climbed in the other side trying to keep Chachazero in her line of sight.

Ginny and Senna both looked at Astoria in surprise.

"I'm not sleeping alone, she might kill me," Astoria answered their unasked question in a quiet whisper as she shakily held onto Senna.

However, before Senna or Ginny could answer, Luna slid in next to Astoria, and snuggled up to the Slytherin girl.

"Wow, this is comfier than sleeping alone," the blonde girl, Luna said with a content smile.

Senna just internally shrugged as she held the girls close and gave Ginny a loving kiss on her sweet and soft moist lips, which was greatly returned with plenty of tongue and a little groping before they finished.

"Well, goodnight girls, and sweet dreams," Senna said as she let her eyes drift closed.

Chachazero groaned as she kicked her covers back, and scratched her tiny right boob; her hair mussed from restless sleep. She just couldn't get to sleep. She had slept for so long that a proper rest would take a little while; maybe a day or two.

She looked from her bed to her Master and her girlfriend sleeping soundly and cuddling. Then that odd Slytherin girl had finally fallen asleep and was all over her Master too, but who could blame her when given the opportunity as her Master was beautiful, and last the odd blonde girl was cuddled with the Slytherin.

Chachazero yawned as she climbed out of bed and pulled her dress and shoes back on, as it was not proper for a young lady to walk around outside of her room and the wash-room naked, and the rest of her clothes were still in her Masters backpack. She smiled as she hopped down from the dresser and scampered to the nearest door. She didn't want to wake up her Master and friends just because she couldn't sleep as that wasn't proper either. She was sure she could find something to do without disturbing her Master or her girlfriends from their comfy slumber.

It wasn't very hard to open the door and climb up some spiral staircase before she paused at a door as she heard a voice. She was lucky the door was ajar so she could peek in to see these two girls trying to ignore this odd bushy-haired girl complaining to them about… her Master.

Well, Chachazero couldn't let her get away with that, as she held some large and sharp silver-coloured scissors and had a sinister grin on her lips. Chachazero didn't want to get into trouble for smiting without permission, but that didn't mean she would let this girl go free. She smiled wider as she watched the girl strip naked and climb under her covers.

It was amusing that this girl's roommates seemed to look relieved as the whining girl had shut up and was asleep pretty-quick, but she didn't notice a few other girls were under their covers with curtains drawn pretending to sleep or hiding to read. Though, Chachazero couldn't blame them as the girl talked too much about rubbish no normal intelligent creature should care about.

"Can you believe Hermione still won't shut up about this dementor rubbish?" one girl was saying quietly. "I think I'll take my chance with bad omens over dementors any day."

"Yeah, and if they are kind of like horses, that's just cool," her Asian (Indian?) friend replied rolling her eyes. "Hermione's just angry that that cute Senna girl didn't agree with her books," she said as she sat on her pale blonde haired best friend's bed with her since it was only the two of them 'awake', and as long as it was Hermione sleeping the others wouldn't care what they talked about or did in their third year Gryffindor girls' dorms.

The other girls had skipped Hermione's complaining by quickly feigning sleep, and then some really fell asleep into what were hopefully nice dreams while the others used silencing spells to finish homework or read their novels in peace.

"It's getting more annoying," she agreed. "Why can't we have some other girl in with us instead of miss-know-it-all-until-someone-comes-along-and-says-she's-wrong...!?"

"Yeah, well, short of killing her…"

The other girl snorted. "Or maybe we could start being rude… in a naughty sort of way and hope that gets her to back down. I'm sure the others would go along with it, if it gets her off our backs, even Rikka, and she's weird."

"Yeah," she agreed giggling as she quickly leaned over and kissed her surprised friends check. "And if my parents ever found out they would be all religious and stuff and annoying until I tell them it was to get rid of an annoying bookworm."

"I'm a Catholic, girl," she replied pouting as her friend moved to her own bed. "I would have the whole homophobe thing to deal with too. Though, knowing my dad he would probably throw in some racism. I love him and everything but… purebloods, and, well… he can be really dense, and it isn't like he hates coloured or gay people or anything like that, I just think…"

"He's like my dad and doesn't think before he speaks," her friend answered as she interrupted giggly. "Yeah, I know… we have it bad, but…" she sighed rolling her eyes. "Good night, Levander," she said as she climbed under her covers.

"Yeah, good night Parvati," she replied as she slid herself under her covers yawning. "Sleep tight; don't let the Hermione bug bite."

"Ha-ha," her friend said while laughing before they both quietened and Chachazero waited until she thought they were asleep before creeping into the room with her scissors eyeing the Hermione girl with a grin.

Chachazero could just about keep in her giggle as she snuck in closer, stalking her un-expectant prey!

It was much-much later, early in the morning where Senna was sitting in her uniform ready for classes with Chachazero sitting on the table next to her with a plate and oversized fork (it was really a small trident, but Chachazero wouldn't listen to reason) eating breakfast. The little doll was getting open-mouthed stares by teachers and students before they just got back to what they were doing.

Senna had realised she might grow to enjoy Chachazero's company over time as it had to be a good idea to have a tiny minion like her on her side. However, Senna frowned as the Great Hall of Hogwarts (more commonly called the dining hall) started quieting. She looked around just as she took a sip of orange juice only to spit it all out into the face of an older girl, a quidditch team chaser for Gryffindor, Katie Bell, as Senna sat next to Ginny at her table.

Though, Katie didn't seem to notice as she had seen her too. Hermione Granger sitting down at the table looking confused at all the attention she was receiving. However, it was the wiry goatee beard and moustache seemingly glued on around her lips that caught their attention.

Senna broke the descending silence as she burst into laughter with Chachazero and Ginny soon following her lead with others laughing right with them. The hall soon became a blast of noise as everyone was laughing, even a few teachers.

"Oh my god," Katie was laughing opposite. "Somebody gave her a…!" She couldn't finish, she was laughing out so hard, which made the laughter louder and harder, some people looking nearly unconscious they were laughing so hard.

Hermione's eyes widened impossibly as her cheeks flamed and she screamed when she touched her face before running away crying hard.

"I wonder what she thought when she saw it all shaved off?" Chachazero wondered as she had calmed down enough to speak. "Ah well," she said, shrugging while Senna looked down at her nervously and Ginny laughed harder.

Senna could barely believe her new little friend. She would just have to remember to keep her from punishing her friends, and hopefully if Hermione came around, Chachazero wouldn't torment her – well too much.
