'Gryffindor!' the hat declared triumphantly, a great shaking applause erupted around the entire room. Paige slid off the stool relieved. She looked around for her sisters and saw they had sat at separate tables, so thinking she was to do the same, set off to the table furthest the right, ' No , no dear,' exclaimed a curt little wizard in a squeaky voice, ' You must sit at the Gryffindor table,' he said pointing to the 3rd table. She sat down at the table and was greeted by a swarm of students, a female hand pulled her somewhere to the left and she sat down, suddenly the owner of the hand spoke in a very intelligent voice, ' Im Hermione Granger, head girl at this school, and these are my two best friends, Harry Potter and…. Ronald Weasley,' to Paige she sounded a little full of herself a little bit of a know-it-all, she suddenly thought, just like in the book! A cold harsh drawling voice spoke , ' Now now, mudblood, you don't want to scare the girl,' the whole atmosphere seemed to go icy, but Hermione simply retorted, ' Did I hear an irksome little ferret say something?' he glared at her and she smiled happily, ' Id shut my mouth if I were you, with teeth like that,' he said triumphantly, ' Well, Malfoy you aren't me so buzz off!' she said and poked her tongue out at him, defeated, he walked away. ' That,' Hermione said turning back around, ' Was Draco Malfoy, the most annoying git you could ever meet,' Harry and Ron both nodded their heads in agreement.
They all ate together and by the time they were finished each thought their buttons would burst. Dumbledore finally rose again and clapped his hands together, the hall silenced, ' It is time to go to your common rooms, heads of houses direct the first years please, Piper, Pheobe and Paige, please stay behind,' he called. Paige wandered over to the front were her sisters were already standing, as the hall erupted in noise.
' Whats up?' the girls queried Dumbledore.
' You girls have a common room of your own, Professor McGonagall will show you to your dormitory,' he said happily, he waved to a witch on his right, she looked extremely stern to the girls and walked in silence as she led them to their room. She would only every so often say, ' We are nearly there' or ' This way please' till finally they actually got there. There lay a painting of a sunset with a dolphin leaping from the horizon coming closer to the front, until it finally reached them with a flick of its tail. McGonagall ushered them forward, ' Good evening Flipper, these ladies will be staying here for this year,' she smiled, finally she was loosening up a little bit, they thought.
' Yes Minerva, that is quite alright, what would they like the password to be?'
'Password?' they asked? After all where they came from you would use a handle or a doorknob to open the door.
' Yes,' Professor McGonagall stated, all the doors in this castle are password activated, what do you wish your password to be?'
They huddled together for a moment before emerging, ' The Charmed Ones' Phoebe said, Paige and Piper always felt overshadowed by Phoebe's determinedness to lead, Paige kept silent in her shadow. McGonagall continued, ' Well there are three rooms, one for each of you, ill let you sort amongst yourselves whose is whose, if you need anything, the head dormitory is exactly a floor above you, just knock and the head girl or boy will be happy to assist you.' With that she left.
The girls were baffled by the intricate decorations of their common room, there was a fire merrily crackling in the grate, the walls were painted a lovely lilac color, and the armchairs looked ever so comfy. The three of them investigated all the bedrooms, Piper claiming the first, Phoebe the second and Paige the third. There was one door left, together they pushed it open, they nearly fainted at the sight, the bathroom was 3 times larger than their own back home, the bath tub ( which was rougly the size of their living room) stood to one side and a toilet and a shower stood to the other, they each had a mirror and sink, and their were many taps surrounding the bathtub, were small and jewel encrusted, Paige eagerly turned one on and was immediately overwhelmed by the honeyed smell of spring. She turned it off, and the three girls paced the room and met in the middle and stood to admire the er.. view. They left the bathrooms and went to their rooms, which consisted of a king sized bed, a dressing table, and a wardrobe the size of a neighboring island somewhere off the coast of Australia. She walked over to her wardrobe, there was a flash of light and a rumble like thunder and a puff of smoke, the door slowly swung open to reveal…
