AN: Sorry I took so long!

Serafina POV

The feast ended quickly. A tall boy herded us to a giant painting of a lady holding a drinking glass. Nothing was in the glass. I recognized her as the Fat Lady.

"Hello kids." She waved at us. "Who wants to see if I can break the glass?" Without anyone's permission, she started a high-pitched note, attempting to break the glass in her hand. It didn't work, so she tried even harder. Everyone covered their ears, except me. With a flourish of my wand, I cast the silencing spell.

"Silencio." I said, and the weird screeching/singing stopped. I got a raised eyebrow from the prefect, but he let it go.

"The password for this week is Hippogryph. The password will change every week, but it will be easy for the first month or so. Don't tell anyone the password, unless you know they're in Gryffindor." he turned to the door. "Hippogryph." With a glare at me she swung open to reveal a large common room with many couches and chairs, along with a few desks here and there. I looked around the room in wonder. "Boys rooms are to the right, and girls are to the left."

He keep talking, probably explaining stuff, but I was looking around in wonder. The room was decorated with red and gold mostly, but it still had other colors too. There was a medium sized fireplace, and scarlet couches surrounded it. "You guys don't have to go to bed right now, and if you need any help, ask me or the other prefect, Arinna." Sirius and James jumped over the couch and, somehow, landed. Remus and Peter sat in two different chairs. I went to the left, ready to go to bed.

"Come on, join us, Sera!" Sirius asked. I tensed up.

"Don't call me Sera." I said. "And I'm too tired. I'm going to bed."

The rest of the night was quiet for me, seeing as I was asleep.

The next morning I woke up early, got in the shower got clothes, etc. I started to walk down the stairs, but they turned into a slide underneath me, causing me to slip and fall onto the guys at the bottom of the stairs. "Bloody H-"

I was on the ground, along with two familiar boys from last night. James and Sirius. "What the Bloody Hell were you planning to do?" I asked, trying to untangle myself. Eventually one of us got up, and helped the other two. "Now you guys are coming to breakfast with me, since I probably ruined your plans." I grabbed their arms and started to drag them.

"But our plans aren't ruined!" James said.

"Too bad. You're coming to breakfast." It took me half-an-hour to get them to go to breakfast with me. Of course, then we only had ten minutes to eat and get our schedules, because we got lost everywhere. I practically ran around, and they tried to keep up, but sometimes slipping. At one point I made the mistake of stepping on the fake step, and falling through. Sirius and James were a second too late, but Peeves caught me.

"Pretty lady having trouble isn't she?" he asked.

"Indeedy I do. Sirius, James, and I can't find the Great Hall. Help please?" I asked. "No. Actually, I command you take us to the Great Hall." He smiled at my request. He dropped me off next to a very confused James and Sirius, and started to fly away. I grabbed the boys arms. "Follow him!" Eventually we got to the Hall, after finding passageways to everywhere. I had scribbled them down in a map-like sort. As soon as I sat down, I ate. Remus and Peter were already there. Remus handed me my schedule.

Transfiguration Double with Slytherin

History of Magic Double with Ravenclaw

Break

Charms Single

Defence Against the Dark Arts Double with Slytherin

Lunch

Potions Double with Slytherin

Herbology Single

Care of Magical Creatures Double with Slytherin

Break

That was my schedule. For the whole week. Sirius was outraged that we had to spend half the classes with Slytherin. I personally didn't mind at all, but I listened as the boy ranted about it.

"Oi, how come have of the day is with Slytherin? Who decided to put us with that wretched house?" he went on and on about it, annoying me slowly.

"Just shut up, okay? It doesn't matter that much." I said, annoyance evident in my voice. I grabbed my stuff and a piece of toast and used my map-thing to find it. I got there five minutes before anyone else, even the teacher. I sat on one of the desks and ate my toast. I sat there for a few minutes, until someone came in. "Hi Lucius."

"Sorry for leaving last night. It's just, well, Potter and Black. Those two disgust me." I snorted. "Old family rivalries."

"Ha! I was right! And, you're forgiven. But don't do that again." I went over to hug him. We were like brother and sister, at least, that's what I thought. Over second year I would learn he and I thought differently. But for the time being, we were just friends. When we broke the hug, the four Gryffindor boys that had taken a liking to me, stared at us in the doorway. I motioned them in. They just stood and glared in a doorway. "I swear to Merlin, you look like a gang. It's actually kind of funny. Besides, come in. I'm waiting for the teacher."

Man, those boys were stubborn. I sat down in a seat and waited for Minnie to come. It only took a few minutes. We learned about changing pins into needles with the use of magic. I did it fine, then talked to Remus for the rest of the lesson, since he had also finished, and was still talking to me. I asked him questions about tons of questions. "So, what's with the rivalry?"

"Not sure yet. He hasn't told me."

"Why aren't they talking to me?"

"Two words. Lucius Malfoy."

"That's stupid. Any odds of them getting over that?"

"Currently, no."

"Why are you still talking to me?"

"Would you rather I not?" he asked.

"No, I'm fine with talking to you." I smiled. Most of the day we were taking notes, which didn't bother me. The day was boring, but I got to meet my roommates.

"I'm Lily Evans. We met on the train. Sorry for leaving you. It's just Potter." she said.

"Marlene Mckinnon."

"Alice Norin. Welcome to our Humble Abode. I've always wanted to say that."

"Humble Abode." I repeated. I always did that with random words. "That is really fun to say. Humble Abode." Everyone else repeated it too. I laughed. "Okay, I'm sleepy. See you tomorrow."

We fell asleep on our respected beds after we changed.

{AN: There is a time jump to Christmas. Sorry for the long jump. It was just too boring during the year.}

Christmas...

I woke up to someone bouncing on my legs.

"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow." I repeated. I opened my eyes to see who was killing my legs. "James, get off me or so help me, I will hex you all day." He immediately stopped.

"Come on today is Christmas!" That got me up. I literally jumped out of bed. Not caring to get on my uniform, I slid down the banister and went into the common room.. James followed suit, and almost landed on top of me. I rolled my eyes and looked to the giant Christmas tree. I ran over. I plopped down next to Remus and Sirius, who were positively beaming. Peter was also very happy, but not at the same level of James' excitement. I grabbed four presents, all of them from me. I gave them to the correct people. James practically tore it apart. He took out a set of deer antlers.

"Antlers?" he asked, putting them on. I motioned to the present. He took out a small note and a glowing ball. "Who's 'Rudolph'?" I rolled my eyes.

"Rudolph the rednose Reindeer. Have you never heard of him? I thought you would at least know who he is." I shook my head in mock disappointment. "Have you heard the carol?"

"What's a carol?" I rolled my eyes again. Someone behind us snickered.

"Lily! Would you please help me teach these idiotic boys 'Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer'?" The boys looked at her, at she burst out laughing.

"Why...is Potter...Rudolph?" she asked, breaking for breath.

"It was my present. Isn't he fashionable?" James flipped his hair for effect, which made everyone laugh.

"Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer,

Had a very shiny nose." I sang, quickly joined by Lily.

"And if you ever saw it,

You would even say it glows. (Like a lightbulb.)

All of the other Reindeer,

Used to laugh and call him names. (Like Pinocchio)

They never let poor Rudolph,

Join in any Reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve,

Santa came to say, (Ho, ho, ho)

'Rudolph with your nose so bright,

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?'

Then how the Reindeer loved him,

As the shouted out with glee. (Yippee!)

Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer,

you'll go down in history!" we sang, with our arms around each other. I sang the extra parts for fun. I high fived Lily. "That's how you sing Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer!"

We resumed unwrapping presents. I got a snitch from James, a few books from Remus, a handful of chocolate frogs from Peter, and a lot of prank material from Sirius. I also got a small box from Lucius, which I saved to open later. I flipped through one of the books Remus gave me. It was about wands. I chuckled. I went back to the dorm-ish room and sat on my bed. I opened the small present the Lucius had gave me after I read the note.

Dear Serafina,

I would prefer you don't open this in front of the others, but you can if you want. I hope you like it.

Sincerely,

Lucius Malfoy

I carefully unwrapped the present and took out a small necklace that had the symbol of Hogwarts. I turned it over and read the cursive on the back.

For the Hogwarts Princess

I smiled at the pendant and clasped it around my neck. I looked through more of the books Remus had gotten me. One of them was hollow, like it was a storage box. It also had something in it.

I reached in and brought out another necklace, except it was a heart-shaped locket with swirls on the front. It looked like it could open, but my fingers couldn't separate the two sides. I stared at it sadly, but put it on anyway. I heard a click, and looked down. The locket wasn't open, but it had joined onto the symbol of Hogwarts. I looked at it confused. I dismissed the oddness of the necklaces and got into my uniform. I walked into of the common room, thanked everyone for their gifts, and, after a massive group hug, left for the library. I sat down at a table in the back that I had deemed mine.

"I'm happy to see that you got the pendant." I almost threw my book at the person. I looked at my old friend Lucius.

"Merlin, Lucy, don't do that! You scared me." I said. He looked at the necklace and frowned.

"Where did the locket come from?"

"It was a Christmas present. Why?" I asked cautiously.

"It's connected to the pendant I got you."

"I didn't know." I said sarcastically. "I honestly don't know why they connected." I fiddled with the necklaces subconsciously and heard another click. I looked down. Nothing had changed. I shrugged it off. It didn't really matter too much. I spent about an hour more in the library, then continued with the day. The Christmas feast was fantastic.

The hall was decorated with fake snowmans and light snowfall. I twirled around in the synthetic snow. The food was as good as always, but for dessert, there was gingerbread and hot chocolate. I happily drank the warm drink and ate the delicious food.
