Hey guys. Well I'm back for another chapter. So…umm…here it is. (Oh and thanks to all those people who reviewed. So far I haven't gotten any flames!)
Chapter 2-Settling in.
Everyone in the great hall was tucking into the welcoming feast with gusto. The strange trio were among them, ignoring the fact that no one at the Gryfindor table would sit within two meters of them. Unfortunately for Ron Weasley he was sorted into Gryfindor straight after the third strange girl and had no option but to sit next to her and the rest of the Trio. He was squashed up against his other neighbour, shooting cautious glances at the Trio while still managing to shovel down his food like a pig.
Ivy grabbed a jug off the table and poured herself a drink.
"What the hell is this?!" she exclaimed. Minx inspected her glass. "It's orange" whined Ivy.
"Well go on. Try some." Said Minx giving the glass back to her.
"No. I don't wanna."
"Oh bloody hell." whispered the third girl. She reached in between them, plucked the glass from Ivy's hand and took a sip…then sprayed her mouth full over the luckily vacant table in front of her. She put the glass down and retched, trying to get the taste out of her mouth. Minx thumped her on the back enthusiastically.
"Secret, are you ok? What the hell is that stuff?" asked Ivy. Secret coughed again and gave her friends a pained expression.
"Pumpkin juice."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" screamed Minx and ivy in unison. The whole hall was silent and everyone turned to look at them. Minx and Ivy were hugging each other, hyperventilating, while Secret sat calmly beside them and said to the whole hall "What the hell are you looking at?"
The six first year girls stumbled tiredly into their dormitory. Minx, Ivy and Secret had three four poster beds next to each other at the far side of the room. Minx took a running leap onto her bed and sighed in pleasure.
"You know, I think I'm starting to like this place. There's great food, comfy beds and lots of wide open spaces."
"Yeah, and the air is so clear" added Secret. "I wonder what the wind velocity is up there." As she said this she looked up at the clouds out the window.
"Why would you want to know that?" asked a girl sitting on her bed across the room.
"Just curious" replied Secret.
"Oh ok. My names Lavender by the way and this is Pavarti and Hermione." Lavender pointed first at an indian looking girl, then to a girl with buck teeth and bushy brown hair.
Minx bounded forward and said "Hi everyone my name is Minx Bubble Olmpla" and then gather the closest person (Hermione) into a big bear hug.
"Why didn't they call out your last name at the sorting?" asked Pavarti curiously.
Minx released Hermione and grinned. "Because it's illegal in 37 countries."
"What does it mean?" asked Lavender.
"Trust me you don't wanna know," said Ivy. "My names Ivy Blonde."
"Nice to meet you" said Lavender. She then turned to Secret. "Your names Hidden eh?"
The strange trio fell silent. Secret tensed and her face turned stony.
"Oooohhh, you shouldn't have called her that!" whispered Ivy.
"She's gonna get angry!" said Minx as her and Ivy backed away from Secret cautiously.
Secret straightened up and slowly walked towards Lavender. As she went she opened her mouth and her canines enlarged into deadly fangs that glinted in the dull light.
"My name is Secret. If anyone calls me by my first name they will find themselves hanging on the outside of this tower from their underwear." By then Secret was standing right in front of lavender, their noses almost touching and her eyes drilling into Lavenders.
"Is that clear?"
Lavender nodded her head urgently. She began to quake in fear. Secret stood there in silence for a moment and then…
"Boo"
Lavender screamed ran into the adjoining bathroom and locked herself in. For the first time Secret smiled, well, more like grinned evilly. Before she could say or do anything more Minx and Ivy had grabbed an arm each and were dragging her towards her bed.
"Don't mind her, she's just a bit touchy." Said Minx.
"And she has anger management issues." Added Ivy.
"Goodnight." They said together. "Don't let your dorm mates bite!"
Thanks to those four people who reviewed last time. I'm hoping to get some more review this time considering two of the last reviews were from Ivy and Minx themselves. Hopefully you picked up a quote from Secret that's a bit strange (something about the wind) but you'll find out more about that in the next chapter. Well I'm open to questions as well as flames so feel free to review and say what ever you want!
Oh and all three of them have a morbid fear of pumpkin…Secret just handles it better than the other two.
