As Alex looked at her brothers, Max, who was grinning and Justin, who seemed nervous, she rolled her eyes. The lady coughed, 'McGonagall she said her name was' Alex thought. The lady waited for the hall to quiet and as it did, she spoke once more,
"Evening everyone. We have a change this year. Instead of the First Years getting sorted first, we have three transfer students from New York in America! When I call their names I would like them to come and sit on this stool."
Everyone craned their necks to look at them.
"Right. Russo, Justin." McGonagall spoke. The hall was completely silent as Justin sat on the stool. After a few seconds the hat opened its mouth (A rip in the side) and it yelled out his house.
"SLYTHERIN!" The table on their right clapped and cheered as Justin walked over. A few people near the top of the table called him over to sit with them. He glad fully accepted and sat next to them.
"Russo, Max." Max walked up to the stool and almost a second after touching his head it yelled out his house too.
"SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherin's were really happy now as two of the three American transfer students were in their house and one was still to be sorted. Max sat next to a blonde haired girl and smiled at Alex.
"Russo, Alex." Alex felt nervous as she stepped up and onto the stool. The second the sorting hat was on her head, it's started to talk to her in her mind.
"Ah, Miss Alex Russo. American I see, quite a nice place America. Now where to put you. Definetly not Hufflepuff. Not Ravenclaw either. Slytherin is possible, you have the cunningness inside you, but Gryffindor for your loyalty for your friends. Hmmm, where to put you." The hat paused for a moment and Alex thought of the boy she met called Harry just this morning. "Ah yes, Mr Harry Potter. Well that decides it."
The hat stopped talking to only her and it yelled out so that everyone could now hear it.
"GRYFFINDOR!" She smiled and as McGonagall took the hat off her head she walked over to the table. She heard Harry and saw him waving her over. She smiled and walked up to him.
"Here, Alex, sit here." He patted the space next to him. Alex nodded and slipped into the seat next to him as the First Years were getting sorted.
"Hermione, Ron this is Alex. Dumbledore took me to meet her this morning." Harry smiled at them.
"Hey Alex." Hermione and Ron said at the same time. Alex smiled at them.
"Hey Hermione, Ron. You guys are in fifth year too?" Alex asked curiously. Hermione nodded.
"Your to share a dorm with me." Hermione said.
Two days later and Alex and her brothers had settled in.
Alex sat on the carpet of the common room with her back against the couch. Hermione sat the same just beside her and Ron and Harry were sitting on the couch they were leaning against.
"God. I HATE that toad. She's all pink and fluffy, man i bet even dementors hate her." Alex moaned as they were writing their DADA essay of three scrolls.
"Em Alex?"
"Yes Harry?"
"Dementors hate everyone."
"I knew that Harry, it was a figure of speech."
"Ah ok."
They all looked at each other and started laughing.
"Anyway, I've finished. Have you guys?" Alex asked placing the essay back into her bag.
Hermione nodded instantly and Harry and Ron shook their heads.
"Well, im gonna listen to my music. Just pull out my earphones if you need me." Alex pulled her iPod out of her bag and turned it onto the music and rested her head against the couch beside Harry's leg.
Alex's favourite song came on so she sang along.
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
Dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh
She noticed the trio staring at her in shock. She grinned.
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on
It gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear, a waterfall
In the night, the stormy night
She closed her eyes
In the night, the stormy night
Away she'd fly.
A few people smiled but most were amazed by Ale'x voice.
And dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh
She dreamed of para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.
La la la La
La la la
So lying underneath those stormy skies.
She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
I know the sun must set to rise.
This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
This could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.
This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.
This could be para- para- paradise
Para- para- paradise
Could be para- para- paradise
Whoa-oh-oh oh-oooh oh-oh-oh.
The trio sat staring at her and Hermione leaned over and pulled her earphones out.
"You're amazing! You rocked that song!" Harry said before anyone else could say anything. Alex blushed and smiled, flicking her hair out of her eyes, she turned to Harry.
"Thanks." She blushed again and Hermione caught her eye and nodded towards upstairs.
"Well, me and Mione are off to our dorm for the night. Night." Alex picked up her bag as did Hermione. Just before they left Alex gave Harry and Ron a kiss on the cheek, said goodnight again and skipped up the stairs towards the girls dorm with Hermione, laughing at her enthusiasm, behind her.
Harry felt his cheek at where Alex had kissed him on his cheek. He blushed when he saw Ron staring at him.
"Harry has a crush."
"Shut Up Ron."
So what do you think?
