Chapter Five: The Common Room
"Ravenclaw!" My eyes went wide. Ravenclaw, really? I stood up and walked over to where Hermione sat. And I sat next to her. I said nothing. How was I put in Ravenclaw? Oh well. Better than Hufflepuff.
Out of nowhere, food appears. I smiled, I was hungry. I reached forward and grabbed some chicken as well as a bunch of mashed potatoes. Hermione was talking to someone else and I just wanted to get up and go sit with Teddy and Jake. I wonder if we could sit together when it was just breakfast or lunch. Probably. I guess I might want to get to know the people in my own house. I turned. I saw an Indian girl who was just staring at the Gryffindor table.
"You're Padma right?" I ask, being the slightest bit shy.
"Padma Patil. Pavarti Patil is my twin sister. She was sorted into Gryffindor."
"My best friends were sorted into Gryffindor." I said Gryffindor with a sigh.
"That's sad. I hope you guys end up having some classes together. Sometimes they group the Ravenclaws with the Gryffindors."
"I hope they do." I turned my head to look at The Gryffindor table. It was right next to our table. My friends sat right across from me. How could I be so stupid? "Teddy Lupin!" I said, hoping that he would turn around to talk to me.
"What?" He says. I noticed that his hair was red and his eyes were gold. Typical.
"Having fun without me?"
"Nawh. We couldn't have very much without you, mate."
"Good. Im stuck with the smart and sarcastic kids. While you have the fun kids."
"I bet there are some pretty nice people there."
"Yes. Padma and Hermione. They're all ive met so far."
"So be a social butterfly and get to know more people." He says turning back to his own table.
"Yes, Mum." I say, in a very smart-assy way. I turned to the table and made a lot of small talk. I jumped out of my seat when they said we would be going to our common rooms in a few seconds. We all got up quickly and silently walked out of the large room where we eat. We turned a corner and I noticed the Gryffindors were going the same way as us. Both groups climbed the stairs, I went searching for Jake and Teddy. When I found them I jumped in joy.
"Guys! Our common rooms aren't that far apart! Do you know what that means?"
"What?"
"It will be easier to sneak out to see you guys!"
"Ravenclaws! This way!" Our prefect says.
"Gotta go. Talk to you guys tomorrow!"
"Kay bye!" They both said in unison.
I ran after my group and followed them. I walked next to Hermione. We walked for about five or ten minutes, then we stopped in front of a painting of a knight in shining armor.
"Password?"
"Rowina's Diadem."
"Correct." And the portrait of the knight slid to the side revealing a large room decorated in blue and silver. We all gawked at the other students who were already in the common room, and at the beauty of the common room its self. There were desks there, and kids were already studying, or maybe just reading.
"Two to a dorm. Boys to the door on the right. Girls to the door on the left. Your dorm will have a plaque with you and your roomate's name on it. Your stuff is already in your room, you just need to put it in your drawers and closets. Best of luck to you all." And our prefect left us. He went to the couch, but I didn't stick around to see what he did after that. I walked to the door on the right and I found the dorm I was supposed to sleep and do my homework in. There were two bunk beds, with desks underneath them. Our books were on the desks and our trunks. My trunk looked odd, it being red-ish and the room being a deep blue. It was obvious which side was mine. I walked over to the desk and pulled my trunk out and began sorting out my clothes. Then my roommate walked into the room.
A/N: Suprise Suprise. The Sorting hat lies. I wasn't mean enough to put Harry in Slytherin... And that would ruin all of my fun of Draco hating Harry's guts. I couldn't put him in Hufflepuff, he wasnt a coward. And I wanted him seperate from his friends. So I put him in Ravenclaw. Lets hope Harry, can hold to Ravenclaw's standards. :D Reveiw please!
