Are you enjoying it? Hehe...it might be a while before I update again and I own nothing :)
Hugo sighed in relief as he flopped down onto his bed. He'd made Gryffindor. He was with his family. Except Rose but she was only over in Ravenclaw. His new friend, Jet was sitting on the bed next to him. His black hair flopped over one eye as he wrestled with the Monster Book of Monsters.
"Why have you even got that?" Hugo asked, raising an eyebrow. Jet finally slammed it shut and sat on it.
"It's my brother Jasper's. I think he's in the same year as your cousin Albus."
"Ah." Hugo nodded. He'd heard about Jasper, the howling mad Gryffindor keeper. It figured that Jet would be just as odd. The door to the dormitory suddenly burst open and the other three first year Gryffindors tumbled in. Timothy, Aaron and Logan looked alike, but were completely different. At first, Hugo and Jet had mistaken them for triplets, but realised they were just good friends. They all had the same toffee brown hair, the same sea green eyes.
Timothy was the sensible one who could sort out the problems. Aaron was the strongest looking one, most often silent. Logan made up for that by speaking twice as much and pulling pranks on everyone else.
The three of them grinned at the boys. Jet grinned back and got up to do something. As he got up, he released his book. The five boys spent the rest of the night chasing it around the dormitory as it wrecked everything and tore up the bed clothes.
Lily sank onto her bed and looked around in awe. The beds had red hangings around them that could be pulled shut if they wanted. The other four girls were still down in the common room somewhere. She liked one of them, Olivia a lot. Her cousin Roxanne was somewhere as well. She closed her eyes and fell back onto the pillow.
The other first year Weasley cousin, Lucy had been sorted into Hufflepuff. She was very smart, but obviously the sorting hat had thought that she was more patient and loyal than anything else. Lily suppressed a snort of laughter. Lucy was also very clumsy.
The door swung open and in came Roxanne, followed by Olivia and the twins, Zoe and Abi. Roxy flashed her a quick grin, before diving onto the bed by the window. Her red hair splayed out around her head as she promptly started snoring. Lily just raised an eyebrow. She was used to her bizarre family.
Olivia pulled out her brown ponytail and grinned. Zoe shook back her long blonde plait. Abi just flicked her dark hair behind her shoulders impatiently.
For twins, they really weren't identical. At all. In looks, or personality.
Colin watched the new first year boys with a long-ago smile. His eyes were wistful, as he remembered what it had felt like to be alive. He should have listened to Professor McGonagall and left. But his stubborn pride had made him stay.
He watched as Hugo finally managed to leap on the book and pin it shut. Colin clapped quietly. The boy on the edge of the room, the one with jet black hair, stopped and shot a look straight at the window. Straight at where Colin was sitting.
"Guys?"
"What?" came four breathless voices.
"Did you hear that? I heard someone clapping..." Colin looked around nervously as the other boys shook their heads, before taking off through the glass.
Lavender laughed as she watched the girls. The were in the pyjamas and were playing truth or dare. It was Lily's turn.
"Truth." Roxanne's eyes lit up.
"Okay Lily...Out of the entire family, which of the boys it hottest?" The other three girls lent in as Lily blushed furiously. Roxanne smirked. "The forfeit is to eat a Bertie Botts every flavour bean...that tastes of vomit."
Lily shuddered at the memory of eating one when she was little.
"Fine. Ummm..." Roxanne leaned backwards on her bed. "...Hugo."
"Aww, that's adorable!" squealed Zoe. The girls came over quite giggly as Lily stared at the floor, going redder and redder. Even Lavender gave a laugh. The girls froze and looked at each other.
"Did you hear-"
"Yes..." The girls gave each other looks of horror before diving under covers and squealing in terror. Lavender looked down at the sadly. She wasn't alive. They treated her as a ghost, something to be frightened of. But she wasn't. If only there was some way to persuade them...
There we go :) Please drop by any reviews!
