Chapter 4: The First Day of the First Year

Sophie walked up the stairs to her dorm, too tired even to try to remember the password to the common room. She stopped when she saw the sign that said where she would stay while at Hogwarts. She read the names of her dorm mates quickly, extremely tired from her day of excitement. She smiled as she saw the names on the list.

1st Year Girls' Dormitories

Sophie Balatro

Lavender Brown

Hermione Granger

Annalisa Morgan

Parvati Patil

She walked in and promptly fell asleep on her bed.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Sophie woke to a girl's voice calling her name.

"Sophie, Sophie, wake up, we're going to be late for classes."

Immediately, Sophie opened her eyes, excited for her first day at Hogwarts. She looked up at the strange brown haired girl who woke her up.

"Who are you?" she asked, wondering why there was a strange girl there.

"I'm Hermione Granger. I'm your dorm mate. We would have been introduced last night, but you fell asleep before I even came in. Anna told us your name was Sophie." the girl said in a know-it-all way. "Your friend is down in the common room right now. I thought it would be a good idea to wake you up so you won't be late."

Sophie looked over at her clock, then immediately pulled the blankets over her head.

"No, it's too early. Its only 7:15. Let me sleep," Sophie said, not wanting to get out of bed.

"You need to get up! Breakfast starts in 15 minutes, and the first classes are at 9," she replied.

"No way, I'm not getting up this early."

"Get up!"

"No"

"Yes"

"No!" Sophie said, hiding her smile with the blankets.

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!" Hermione said, getting agitated.

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!" Sophie said, trying to trick Hermione.

"No!" Hermione said, "And that's final!"

"Ok," Sophie replied, rolling away from Hermione.

Hermione spent a moment thinking over what happened then realized that she was tricked.

"You tricked me!" she exclaimed.

Sophie sat up in her bed and looked at Hermione. "Yes, I did", she said smugly.

"That was mean!" the bushy haired girl complained.

"All's well that ends well. I'm getting up now, ok", Sophie said as she got out of bed and started to brush her long black hair.

Hermione stomped angrily out of the dorm to join the other girls who had already woken up.

Sophie quickly got changed into the school uniform and began to walk down the stairs to the common room. She smirked as she saw Hermione pouting in a corner. It served her right for waking her up so early. Sophie caught a glimpse of Anna, and ran over to her.

"Anna," she called to her already best friend. "Where were you?"

"I was finding out the password to the common room. I was really tired last night, and realized that I didn't know the password when I woke up," she said as she gave her friend a hug. "I'm pretty sure you weren't listening either, considering you fell asleep before you even got to meet our dorm mates!"

"I was tired ok! I couldn't sleep the night before because I was so excited to come to Hogwarts!" Sophie defended.

"Ok. I guess that that's a reasonable excuse."

"I know it is!" Sophie said proudly.

At that moment, two identical red headed boys walked over to them.

"Hey, that's them!" one of them said.

"Why Freddie, I do believe you are right. Those are the two girls who threw water balloons at us!" the second replied.

"Uh oh", Sophie said quietly.

"What do you mean?" Anna said nervously, "We've never thrown water balloons, much less seen one. There's no way that could've been us."

The first red head rolled his eyes. "Uh huh, I don't believe you", he said.

"Don't worry though, we won't turn you in. That was a good prank, and you really surprised us. Why, the look on McGonagall's face was priceless! She was probably wondering what we did, not what happened to us!" the second boy exclaimed, his face full of joy.

"I don't think that we have introduced ourselves yet. I am Fred-", the first said.

"And I am George", the second continued. "It is nice to meet you."

"I'm Sophie, and this is Anna", Sophie said, introducing them. She was beyond relieved that they wouldn't be in any trouble.

"You're firsties aren't you? So tiny, right Fred," George said to his twin.

"Quite, Fred. I think they might even be tinier than Ickle Ronnikins," Fred replied.

"Hey! We're right here you know!" Sophie burst out, sick of being told she was short and tiny.

"Well, there they are George! I thought we had lost them for a minute!" The red head said, giggling along with his brother over Sophie's frustration.

"Come on Anna, we know when we aren't wanted," Sophie said as she drug Anna towards the exit. Fred and George laughed at the two of them as they left.

Sophie and Anna walked down the halls and the staircases, heading to the Great Hall for breakfast before classes began. As they walked, they ran into a familiar face.

"Hi Harry!" Anna said as she and Sophie walked over to him and the red headed boy he was with. Sophie paused for a second to look in her bag for something, and then looked up. "Who is your friend? I don't think we've met."

"Ron Weasley," the red head said. "I'm in Gryfindor too. Harry and I met on the train."

"I'm Annalisa Morgan, but you can call me Anna," she said.

"Hi, I'm Sophie Balatro, nice to meet you," Sophie said as she shook Ron's hand. She smirked slightly as Ron combed his hand through his hair, leaving flour all over his read head, making it look white.

"Umm, Ron, you have a little something in your hair," Harry awkwardly told his friend.

"There is no way that I have anything in my hair," Ron defended, "I just washed it this morning, you can't tell me it's dirty." Ron drove off all attempts of Harry telling him there was something wrong as they walked towards the Great Hall.

Sophie began to laugh hysterically, not believing how ridiculous Ron had been. One might think that if your friend told you something, you'd believe it.

"Sophie!" Anna squealed, "That's not funny! What if a teacher sees?"

Sophie began to cry as she rolled on the floor in a fit of laughter.

"Sophie!"

It took almost five minutes for Sophie to stop laughing and pick herself up off the ground.

"You know that wasn't nice Sophie," Anna told her best friend.

"It's funny though. You have to admit it. You were laughing too," she said.

"Well, yeah. It was kind of funny, I have to admit it," Anna replied, slightly ashamed.

"Hurry, we need to get to the Great Hall," Sophie told Anna as she began to walk quickly.

"Why?" Anna asked her, and she ran to catch up.

"Because Ron isn't going to listen to Harry and I really want to see what happens," she replied with a large smile on her face as she ran down the hallway.

"Wait!" Anna cried out from far behind her, "I want to see too!"

Sophie laughed to herself for a moment while she waited for her friend to catch up.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Unfortunately for Sophie and Anna, they arrived just after Harry and Ron, and not before them. When the girls entered, all they could see was chaos surrounding Ron Weasley, who was cowering away from the people around him.

"-such a betrayal, Ron. I can't believe that you would switch to the Malfoy side. We've been betrayed!" Fred cried out dramatically to his twin, George, and everyone in the area.

"MR. WEASLEY, WHY DID YOU MAKE YOUR HAIR WHITE?! Fifty points from Gryfindor for this outrageous behavior!" McGonagall screamed at Ron angrily at the same time as Fred.

While McGonagall and the Weasleys currently at Hogwarts bombarded Ron with their anger at the situation, almost all of the students present in the Great Hall were laughing at the situation. Ron hadn't trusted his friend, and was surely regretting it now.

Anna and Sophie just stood off to the side, amazed at the chaos that happened because of a bit of flour and a handshake.

"That…was not what I expected. I didn't think he'd actually get in trouble with Professor McGonagall. Oops," Sophie said to Anna with a grimace on her face.

"Neither would I," the girl replied. "How many brothers does the poor boy have? This is crazy!"

"Uh oh," Sophie said quietly.

"What?"

"He sees us; we need to get out of here!" Sophie said quickly. "Hurry!"

As Anna and Sophie crept towards the doors, Ron's voice cried out.

"Hey, there she is! Harry, that's the girl who put the stuff in my hair!"

Sophie and Anna scurried quickly out the door, hoping that nobody would see or catch them. As they arrived at the common room, they sighed in relief that they hadn't been caught.

"That was a close one!" Sophie said, exhausted from the run up to the common room.

As she spoke, the portrait swung open to reveal a figure standing there.

"Yes it was a close one," the figure said in a soft female voice.

Who is the mysterious figure who realized it was them? Who do you think it was? Please leave a comment if you think you might know.

I'll hopefully have the next chapter up soon.
