Hey Y'all, here's a long one.
Chapter 12
Eliza's POV
Once the party was all set up, the movie set and the food made we sat and waited on the couch for our friends. About ten minutes later, we hear a ding at the door.
"I'll get it," I say jumping up and running to the door. I open it and see Miria on the other side.
"Miria, hey welcome!" I step back and let her come into the house she is sporting her Slytherin scarf even though its hot outside.
"Thanks! Are you ready for Harry Potter night?" She asks smiling. "I brought Chocolate Frogs." She hands me a bag full to the brim of them.
"Thanks, Ange and Pegs are in the living room." We walk there and I set down the sweets on the table. I hear another ding and go to the door. I fling it open and see Alex, John, and John Church.
"Hey Y'all," I say hugging Alex.
"Hey, Betsie." Awe Alex's name for me is so cute.
"Hi Eliza," says John hugging me.
"Hello Eliza, thank you for inviting me to the party," says John Church. I want to make him feel more welcome because he seems kind of formal. But that might be just him. Angelica seems to like that about him.
"I bought some Bertie Bots," he says while handing me the bag.
"Thanks and Miria is here already, they are in the living room. Alex, would you please take this bag to the living room for me?" I asked handing him the bag.
"Sure," he says kissing me on the cheek as he walks to the living room. John Church and John follow him, and I run upstairs to Angelica's room to get the onesies. When I'm coming back down the stairs, I hear another ding at the door. I open it and see Laff and Hurc.
"Hey Y'all," I say, hugging them.
"Hey Eliza," says Hurc.
"Hi Eliza, I bought some Butter Beer. The kids one," says Laff.
"Cool thanks," he hands me the bag. I take it to the living room and set it down. Herc and Laff follow me, and they sit down with everyone else.
"Alright we got character onesies at the store to wear," I say picking up the pile. I hand them out to their respective person and get mine. Then we take turns in the bathroom to change. Once everyone is seated I get back up and go to the sorting hat on the stool. Peggy gets up too because she wanted to help with the sorting.
"I'm going to place the hat on your head and it will tell you your house while you sit on the stool." Says Peggy grabbing the hat. Angelica gets up and stands by the labeled strings to pull for the sorting.
"John," I say in a British accent. John gets up and sits on the stool, then Peggy places the hat on his head. He waits for a minute. The red and gold confetti falls all over him.
"Gryffindor," Angelica shouts in her sorting hat impression, which is pretty good. John gets up off of the stool and does a victory spin. Then he sits back down.
"Miria," I say. She stands up and walks to the stool, and sits down. Peggy places the hat on her head and then confetti in green and silver falls from the bucket over her.
"Slytherin," says Angelica.
"Yay," Miria giggles, sitting back down.
"Laff," I call. He sits on the stool, and red and gold swiftly fell on him.
"Gryffindor," says Ange.
"Herc," I call.
"Gryffindor," says Ange.
"Alex," I call.
"Gryffindor," says Ange.
"John Church," I say. He gets up and nervously walks toward the stool. He looks like an apprehensive first year at Hogwarts. Peggy puts the hat on his head and it waits for a while. The blue and bronze confetti falls from the sky.
"Ravenclaw," says Angelica happily. I smile my smile at her, but it conveys a hint of your in love Ange. She gives me a look back that says Eliza quit it.
"Peggy," I call because it's time for her turn. John jumps up to put the hat on her head. Yellow and black confetti spills from the bucket.
"Hufflepuff," yells Angelica.
"Yay," she jumps up and hugs John.
"It's my little Puff," says John. Awe I look at them with a smile on my face because of there so cute.
"Alright," I give the list to Peggy because it's my turn to get sorted.
"Eliza," she calls still in John's arms. Angelica puts the hat on my head and I sit and hope it calls my house. The red and gold confetti spills on me.
"Gryffindor," shouts Angelica.
"Yay!" I say jumping up.
"Yay!" Says Alex jumping up too. "You're in my house." I giggle and go to hug him.
"Okay Angelica," I had gotten the list back from Peggy, who was still hugging John. She sits on the stool and Peggy puts the hat on her head. She sits hoping, I can tell, for her house to be called. I pull the string and blue and bronze colored confetti spills onto her head.
"Ravenclaw," I yell.
"My house," says John Church, jumping up to hug Angelica.
"Yay," she says hugging him back quickly.
"Alright that's everyone," I say sitting on the couch, and turning on the movie.
"Let's sit," I say sitting in between Alex and Peggy. The movie plays for awhile and I decide to get up to get Alex and I some Caldron Cakes. When I get back I look at the room. Angelica was sitting by John Church, cuddled up under his arm. Laff, Herc, and Miria were laying together on the floor. Peggy had fallen asleep on John's lap, who was also asleep. I go and sit back with Alex, I give him his food, and he puts his arm around my shoulders. I snuggle up to him and feel myself lulling into a sleep. I fell Alex falling asleep too because he relaxed. I fell his steady breath and the calm beat of his heart. I relax and fall asleep.
