When dinner was over, Nessa was about to head out and try to find the Slytherin girl's dormitory, when a mousy looking girl strode over to her, and smiled. She had long brown hair that was pulled back in a high pony tail. She had sparkling blue eyes, and a friendly smile. She didn't seem like a Slytherin at all.
"Hi! I'm Jessica." she chimed, and held out her hand. Nessa shook it.
"Nessa." She told her, and smiled back at her.
"uh, you looked kinda lost. Do you need some help finding the dorms?"
"A little bit" Nessa admitted.
She smiled, and waved her over to follow her.
They walked down a few of the corridors until They stopped in front of a bare stone wall. Jessica cleared her throat and said. "FendFyre." a section in the wall opened up for them to enter.
"What's FendFyre?" Nessa Inquired.
"It's the password to get in the common room, It changes every once and a while, but a prefect will inform you when it does." she answered. Nessa just shook her head and shrugged. Hogwarts was getting confusing. Professor Snape never told her about this stuff. All she knew was that the staircases changed. Then Jessica lead Nessa into the common room
Jessica put her hands on her hips and stated, "Well, this is the common room. The girl's dormitory is on the left. Your stuff should already be up there." Jessica looked over at a group of girls in the corner of the room. They were waving her over to talk with them. Jessica looked at Nessa, and shrugged suggestively. Nessa nodded her head and followed Jessica to the group of girls.
"Hey guys!" Jessica greeted her friends. Nessa stood close to her and smiled shyly. "This is Nessa Hemins. She's new at Hogwarts." They smiled half-heartedly, as if the last thing they waned to do was meet Nessa.. "Nessa, this is Rose," She gestured towards a tall blonde girl with green eyes, and rosy cheeks. "Claire," a skinny girl of about average height, with long black hair, and cold grey eyes. She smirked at Nessa. "and my sister, Elizabeth." She pointed to the last girl. She was short, with shoulder-length brown hair and blue eyes. She looked just like Jessica.
"You can call me lizzy." Elizabeth stated, and smirked, which Nessa thought was as close as she could get to a smile.
"Welcome to slytherin house, Nessa." Claire welcomed, with a haughty expression " You're Better than any Gryffindor." The girls all chuckled, and took a seat on the couch. Rose patted the cushion next to her.
" Well, don't just stand there, have a seat." Claire urged, laying on one of the couches with her feet up. Nessa reluctantly sat
After about an hour of the girls talking, Nessa started to get comfortable around them. She felt that she had finally made some friends, and she wasn't so nervous anymore, she enjoyed talking with them, and thought they were really cool, especially Claire, she was so much like her.
After a while, Nessa yawned and stood up. "Whelp, I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to bed, I'm so tired.
Rose also stood " Yeah, me too. I'll see you guys in the morning"
"Kay," Jessica replied.. " We'll be up in a little bit." with that said, she turned back to her
conversation with Claire and Elizabeth, while Nessa and Rose went up the stairs to the girl's dormitory.
Rose walked through the door with a four on it, and Nessa followed. It was a nice looking room. Her trunk was in front of the bed in the middle. She walked over to her bed and pushed back the soft green curtains.
"So….you think you're gonna like it here?" Rose inquired. Nessa nodded and looked around. Then a smirk lit up her face.
"Yeah….I think so." she answered.
