Right now if I wasn't being totally distracted by Lilly's chatter I think I might have passed out by now. The three of us had moved to one of the couches that sat in the middle of the room to get better acquainted.

Lilly has been going on about school and her friends for the last half hour while Albus has been sitting quietly on my other side just listening. Thats all he has been doing nothing else. It's like he is frozen or something, he just nods at points and blinks every few seconds but apart from that he hasn't said a word.

'But you are totally going to enjoy it here, I know you may have heard things about some of the teachers here but it's fine really.' Lilly continued

'I just think I'm more worried about getting lost in this place' I finally decided to reply after her rambling.

'Oh you will be fine, I'll go and get a map of the school from my trunk if you want I don't need it anymore.' she suggested

'That would be great thanks.'

and with that Lilly pranced out of the room and up the stairs leaving me and Albus all alone in the room, hmmm.

'Are you nervous?'

whoa! Did he just speak?

I looked at him curiously just to make sure I wont make a fool out of my self. He glanced back with a face as if looking for an answer to an unanswered question.

'Nervous doesn't even explain how I feel right now.'

'I don't blame you. If I was new in the middle of the year I would be shitting myself.' he paused

I just looked at him still dumbfounded that he has spoken, but still waiting for him to continue.

'well you know with the people that go to this school, you are going to be the new eye candy and everyone will be looking at the new someone.' he finished and leaned back into the chair.

'Eye candy?' what was this boy going on about?

'Yeah! You know, you're new and good looking therefore most of the guys will be wanting to get to know you. Wow I feel sorry for you now.' he patted my shoulder

he must have a lot of confidence to be able to say to someone that they are good looking but more importantly 'ALBUS POTTER just said that I was good looking. Ok now I think I might pass out.

'why would you feel sorry for me?' now I could feel my face burning up.

'Well there are a lot of desperate people here and I think the only way to get them off your back would be to establish that point that you have a boyfriend.' he raised his eye brown as if he was making a statement but also wanting to know the answer for himself.

'but that's the thing I don't have a boyfriend. People here may think I'm good looking but people back in Australia didn't.' I leaned forwards slightly, only to get a waft of his deodorant in my face. Argh, why do the hot guys have to smell so good. Where is Lilly when you want her?

'Hmmm, well they must be crazy.' he ruffled his hand through is unruly hair, sighed and leaned back into the chair.

I still couldn't get over how he can have a conversation like this with someone with suck a straight face. But before I could even answer his statement Lilly bounded back down the stairs with a piece of paper in her hands.

'Sorry I took so long, it seems that Sarah was using it for a coaster.' she passed me the map.

There were a few stains from where a glass had been sitting, but apart from that it looked like your ordinary map.

As I opened it I saw that each of the rooms were named in a cursive writing that was moving slightly with the movement of the paper. I turned the pages and examined them carefully, this school was a lot bigger than I thought it was.

'Yeah, and if you speak into here.' she pointed to a small emblem of the school, 'and tell it were you want to go, it will give you directions from your current location.' she beamed down at me

'Cool!' was all I could say.

'Ah Lils, it's almost time for dinner don't you have some where to be?' Albus said whilst tapping his wrist.

'Oh snap.' and she was gone. Racing out of the room as if she has left a fire on somewhere.

I turned to Albus looking confused

he laughed, 'she has to she Professor Squibles, before each meal to make sure that they are environmentally friendly.'

I tiled my head to the side still confused.

He laughed again, 'Lilly has an assignment to do on the environment for one of her classes and well she decided to make sure that all of our meals were made without any harm to the atmosphere or passing animals.'

'Oh, ok...'

'Yeah she can get a little strange, but once she has an idea in her head she has to follow it through. But come on we have to get to dinner.'

he stood up stretched then held out his hand to help me up. I took it and the two of up walked down together.
