I yawned as I woke up. I sat up, and it took me a minute to remember where I was. I blinked, clearing my vision. There were five other girls in the room, all were asleep but two. One had light brown wavy hair, falling to the middle of her back. She had light brown olive skin. The other girl had thick dark brown hair and blue eyes. I walked over to meet them.
"Hi, I'm Riley!" I said, grinning.
"I'm Callie," The girl with light brown olive skin said.
"Caroline," The girl with blue eyes smiled at me.
"Nice to meet you! We're sharing a dormitory this year, huh?"
"Yep!" Callie replied, leaning against the wall.
"Hey," I began. "Are we allowed to see people from other houses?"
"During free period, yes," Caroline replied.
Callie's stomach growled. "Man, I'm hungry."
Caroline's eyes widened. "We're going to be late!"
"For what?" Callie asked.
"Breakfast, obviously! We should wake the others up… Riley, go get dressed, we'll get them up."
I nodded, and turned to my trunk, pulling out a fresh uniform. I ran to the lavatory to change. Five minutes later I stomped back into the dormitory. The other three girls were now up. One with white blonde hair, one with curly red hair, and one with shoulder length brown hair.
"Are we going now?" I said, yawning.
The girl with brown hair nodded. "Yeah, we have to go before we miss it!" She grabbed the red-headed girl's arm, and Callie's, and dragged them down the hall. I turned to Caroline.
"Miss what?"
Caroline stared at me funny. "Breakfast, that's what we were just talking about it, remember?"
"Oh," I yawned again. "Sorry, I'm slow in the morning…"
"Wore yourself out yesterday, huh?" The girl with white blonde hair asked. "I'm Evie."
"Riley. And yeah, pretty much," I yawned for a third time. "I can't stop yawning!"
Evie laughed. "Come on. We'll go to breakfast; maybe it'll wake you up."
"Okay!" I grinned, following.
At breakfast I learned the names of the other girls; Trinity was the girl with brown hair, and the girl with red hair was Posy.
Now it was free period, and all six of us were roaming the grounds.
"So, patronus are like a spirit animal?" Trinity said, grinning.
"No! It's a defense against dementors. My dad taught it to Ace and I two years ago."
"McGonagall said that the dementors weren't a problem," Evie said, pushing her glasses farther up her nose.
"I never said they were," I began. "I'm just saying… I don't know what I'm saying. Why did we even start this conversation?"
Posy shrugged looking confused. "You were whispering something, Caroline asked what you said, you launched into the patronus speech," Posy nodded solemnly.
"That would be it, I believe." Caroline nodded along with Posy.
"Huh," I said. I noticed Ace sitting on the wall arch, talking to Isla and a couple other people I didn't know.
"Hey, well, Trinity, Evie and I were supposed to see Snape," Callie said.
"Or what's left of him," Posy muttered.
Trinity rolled her eyes. "See ya later!" With that, Callie, Trinity, and Evie turned and headed back into the castle.
Posy, Caroline and I kept walking. After a few minutes of awkward silence, Posy slipped away. Quite suddenly, I got tackled. Tackled, to the ground. I screeched, and Caroline watched shocked. Then I realized who it was that had felt the need to try to push me through the ground. "Logan! Get off!" I shoved her to the side.
"Not allowed to have any fun, huh?"
"That wasn't fun, that was trying to break my bones."
"Whatever, Captain Boring,"
"Ever so creative."
"I do try."
I rolled my eyes, than noticed Caroline standing looking confused. "This is Logan. I met her on the train yesterday. She's a Hufflepuff. And Logan, that's Caroline," I nodded. "She's in my dormitory."
"She looks like a bit of a prat to me."
"Hey!"
"I'm only kidding! It's nice to meet you, Logan." Caroline laughed.
"It's okay because I felt you would be a git," Logan grinned.
"Well I guess it's good you two get along. I'm going to go see Ace."
"Oh yeah," Logan said, following, Caroline in tow, "I meant to ask." Her tone changed to something sing-song, and jeering. "Is Ace your booooooooyfrieeeeennnnd?"
"HAHAHAHAno. He's just my best friend, is all."
"I'm going to have to side with Logan. You've been obsessed with trying to see him all morning." Logan proceeded to do something of a victory dance, looking like Snoopy.
"Well, he did just get attacked by dementor."
"I'm beginning to think you have an obsession with both Ace and dementors."
"Stuff it."
"Rude."
"It's my specialty."
Throughout this, Logan was still doing her victory dance, and attracting stares. I continued walking over to Ace and Isla, and by now, the others they were talking to had scattered. Caroline followed, and when we reached them Logan came scurrying over.
"Hey, Isla! You okay, Ace?"
"Never better," Ace replied as Isla smiled and waved.
"Who's this lass?" Isla gave a pointed nod at Caroline.
"I'm Caroline."
"Isla," she nodded yet again.
"Hey, how about we give you three a tour of the castle?"
"EPIC!" Logan was literally bouncing. Ace watched her wearily.
"Just… let's not try magic until you've actually learned it, please? Might blow up the castle, this lot," Ace finished with a mutter.
Ace and Isla gave us a very through tour, including introducing us to most of the portraits. Finally they stopped in front of a tan wall.
"Is this it?" Caroline asked, staring at the wall.
"Not in the least," Ace said, grinning.
"This 'ere, would be the Room of Requirement." Isla said, patting the wall. "When Umbridge was 'ere, years ago, 'arry Potter had an organization called Dumbledore's Army. Something 'appened, no one's really sure what it was anymore, but she had it sealed shut from this entrance."
"McGonagall, when she began her reign as headmistress, saw fit to hide the recently resurfaced Deathly Hallows inside. It had been in a fire, since some rather unintelligent Slytherin set the place on fire, but she managed to restore it, which, originally, it held all the lost things in the castle. So there's a legend that deep within the piles, the three Deathly Hallows reside. The cloak of invisibility, which was found hidden in the Sorting Hat. The Elder Wand, which Potter snapped and threw into the ravine… McGonagall fixed and hid it. She thought that it might be useful if another dark lord rose one day. Lastly, the Resurrection Stone." Ace continued. Isla picked up where he left off.
"So all three of them are hidden in the Room of Requirement. Only problem is, no one knows 'ow to get in, since McGonagall sealed the entrance. 'Ey say there's two, three, other entrances, but no one 'as ever found them."
A/N: Okay, this is probably really bad… anything having to do with Harry Potter is killing me right now. I was watching Deathly Hallows part 2, for the fiftieth time, probably, but I just then noticed George's face when Fred dies… It's so sad. After that horrifying shock, I came across this letter from George to Fred, on their first birthday after Fred dies, and it made me cry. Like, legit. It was horrible. Has anyone ever actually bothered to look up the song Harry and Hermione dance to in the movie? It's called O Children, by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, but Voldemort's nipples, if you listen to it, I can completely relate it to Fred and George. It's not a good thing I can do that. I firmly believe in Re-Fredding now. It's the only reason I haven't passed out from lack of twins.
Well, that was some rambling. I'm sorry if I bored you. Anyway, I left a few things out of the form I used. At one point, I'm going to need to know if they can manage an Animagus. Keep in mind that only powerful wizards can manage this. You will not able to choose the animal. Choose one of the options below, each is a key for a specific animal. If they can manage Animagus transformation, than put the number of the option next to the name of your character.
1.) Leadership, Courage, Power
2.) Loyalty, Success, Thought
3.) Aggression, Survival, Adaptability
4.) Messenger, Freedom, Observer
5.) Success, Prosperity, Wealth
6.) Strength, Agility, Freedom
7.) Stamina, Love, Mobility
8.) Shrewdness, Transformation, Cunning
9.) Solitude, Independence, Perseverance
10.) Cunning, Provider, Intelligence
11.) Prankster, Insight, Sarcastic
12.) Wisdom, Truth, Patience
13.) Grace, Balance, Innocence
14.) Love, Gentle, Kind
Whichever of those describes them best will be what you'd put in your review! The last thing I need to know is their boggart. Some of you told me already, but many didn't, so I haven't PMed you about it, put it in a review. Just covering all my bases.
Sorry there's probably more A/N than story…
