Chapter Six: Roommate & Sleepless Night

"Hello." I said not looking up from putting my socks in a drawer.

"Nice to meet you, Harry. I'm Terry. Terry Boot." Terry says going to his own desk to put his stuff away.

"How do you like being a Ravenclaw? Have any really good friends yet?" I ask hoping that I could find some people that I could actually talk to, that were in my house.

"I met a few people." He says.

"Meet any Gryffindors?" I ask.

"No, not yet." Terry says moving his books around on his desk. Along with a lamp, why does he have a lamp? Hasn't the poor kid ever heard of lumos? And then I figured it out. He was a muggleborn.

"My best friends are in Gryffindor. Teddy Lupin, Arthur Pettigrew, and Jacob Black. They are really good kids. Well, Jake can get himself into some trouble, but he is still a really good person."

He yawns and changes into blue and silver pinstriped pajamas, I found that I have the same pair. So I pulled mine on. But I wasn't tired. I wanted to stay up just a little bit longer.

"So, Terry, what is your favorite book?"

"Right now? Uhm… Number the Stars by Lois Lowery."

"What is it about?"

"A girl and her best friend during the holocaust, which was in the years 1942 to 1945, in Copenhagen. Ellen and Annemarie set off on a journey to save Ellen from the German Nazis. It is a very interesting book."

"Muggle war? Friendship? Adventure? Sounds like a very good book."I said, interested in muggle affairs.

"It is."

"No Doubt."

He makes a noise and returns to organizing his desk. I looked at my desk, it was kind of messy. Quills were thrown onto it, paper was spread around, books were open, with bookmarks in them already, and ink was spilled in to corner. I pulled my wand out of my pocket, and murmured a spell that tidied up my desk. Terry's eyes went huge at my desk cleaning and organizing its self. He had absolutely no clue about magic.

It got dark really fast, and Terry was still organizing his stuff, so I lit my want and followed him around with it. He gawked at that too. He was going to be amazed in charms class, and transfiguration, my two best classes, go figure. The only class I was really going to have to work at is potions. I have been terrible with potions ever since my mom tried to get me to try making, small inadequate potions. I failed at that. I had managed to burn a hole in the table, which was granite countertop, and make a sludge that could move on its own. That was very terrible.

Terry stood up when he was finished, he looked at me and smiled. "So, im guessing you have been around magic your entire life?"

"Yeah, I'm guessing you havent. My mum is the charms teacher for first years."

"Really? That should be interesting. The Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher scares me."

"Remus? Nahh, he is probably the coolest teacher here. He's my uncle, in the way of he is one of my dad's best friends."

"How about the Tranfiguration teacher? Professor Pettigrew?"

"Another Uncle. He is kinda goofy, and he is out of it sometimes."

"Muggle Studies?"

"I don't know him? What's his name, I know who he is, he has been to our house for dinner before with Albus. I just cant remember his name…. Quirrell! The one who stutters a lot."

"You know Albus Dumbledore?"

"Yeah. My dad is good friends with Albus."

"That's amazing." He says, walking toward his bed, "Do you think that these classes are going to be hard?"

"I don't think so. But I think the one that Is going to be the hardest is Transfiguration. My dad is really good at it."

"I have to do something want to do some redecorating? Maybe move some chairs around?"

"Where do you want to move them?" I say taking my wand from my pocket.

"Just one on each side, do you think we could move some lamps next to them? I like to read sometimes when I can't sleep."

We moved our chairs around for a while, and I eventually I moved my chair up against the wall across from the foot of my bed. His, was under his bed, next to his desk, so he could use the lamp efficiently. It was interesting.

Terry and I stayed up all night talking. It wouldn't take long for us to get to be good friends. We had a long day ahead of us tomorrow, if only we knew what this year had in hold for us.

A/N: Sorry it took me so long! I had a wedding this weekend and had no time to update, even though I took my laptop/notebook. Ohwell I had fun. Any ideas? I have an evil plan. Betcha that you thought that Quirrel was gone.:] . Have fun trying to figure it out.:]]
