A/N: Another update! So, since they're divided between two houses, I'm going to switch back and forth between the two. Ravenclaw is going to have almost all original characters… anyway, this is the first Gryffindor chapter.
How did I Get Here? How the &$#?
Gryffindor
"This is the common room," said the redhead prefect that was showing the first-year Gryffindors around.
Maureen turned to Mark. "I like all the red…"
"Sh!"
"Girls dormitories to the right, boys to the left," the prefect continued. "Time for bed."
Everyone groaned and went to their dormitories.
"Hey," said the freaky black-haired kid, Harry Potter, to Angel, "weren't you wearing a skirt earlier?"
Everyone but Mark, Tom, and Roger laughed.
Angel turned to Harry. "So?"
"Guys don't wear skirts."
"Oh, but it's all the rage in America for guys to wear skirts. In NYC."
"Then why didn't your friends wear girl's clothes? You're all from New York. I heard you talking at dinner."
"Oh, well, we were just scared of looking like idiots," Mark covered.
Angel rolled his eyes and played along. "Cowards."
Maureen pulled her nightgown on in the bathroom. April was already changed, so they talked through the door. "Poor Meems," said April. "All alone. I hope she's ok."
"We'll probably have classes together," said Maureen, opening the door (Don't worry, she was dressed…).
April smiled as Maureen walked past her and sprawled out on the windowsill. Elphaba flew in with a dead rat in her beak. She dropped it on top of Maureen. "Elphie, that's gross," said Maureen, throwing the rat at April.
"Hey!" said April, giggling. "Watch it!"
Maureen laughed. "Have you looked at the textbooks?"
"Not really…"
"I've read all of them, cover to cover," boasted a girl with bushy brown hair.
"I wasn't asking you," snapped Maureen.
The girl's lip trembled.
"Hey!" April called after her. "What's your name?"
The girl sniffed. "Hermione Granger."
April held out her hand. "April Erickson." Hermione shook April's hand.
Maureen rolled her eyes. Elphaba had perched on her head again. Maureen sighed and began to shake her head to get the owl off.
A/N: I know, short chapter. More from Mimi and Joanne coming up!
