Sorry for all the short chapters. There are some longer ones in this year, they're just a bit later and then interspersed with shorter ones. RM and I don't own HP, Enjoy.
Bunny Adoption
Mid-October, 1992
Fourth Year
The school hustled and bustled, students scampering from one class to another. In a few weeks the buzz that filled the school would be thrown up a notch. But until then, everything was as idyllic as school could be. So when Jo stumbled across a dreamy voiced blonde, she took her back to the Hufflepuff common room, proclaiming, "Leili! Look what I found! I found a firstie!"
"Well, that shouldn't be hard, they're all over the place," Leili said dryly, not looking up from her book.
"Can we keep her?"
"Jo, Firsities are not wandering puppies to be adopted, they're students. We can't just keep them every time we find a cute one!" The little Ravenclaw was cute, if a tad unusual. Jo looked at Leili with raised eyebrows.
"I'll remember that next time you see a cute, fuzzy, oh-so-adorable magical animal and fold your hands in front of your chest and go 'Oh please, can we keep it?'" Jo said, pitching her voice higher and widening her eyes to do the best imitation of her best friend.
"I do not sound like that," Leili said with a repressed grin, before giving in and asking, "Who is she?"
"Her name is Luna and she says I have Nargles in my hair!"
"I… see…" Leilani looked from Jo to the 11-year old girl with wacky glasses perched in her blonde hair and decided not to ask what the heck Nargles were, "Well, then we should wash it! It hasn't been that long since your last bath, has it?" Leili teased, eyeing Jo's mess of brown hair pulled back into an even messier bun.
Jo flopped next to Leili and shoved her shoulder in good-natured retaliation. Luna stayed with the girls during most of her free time henceforth and due to the cheerful bounce in her step was nicknamed Bunny.
