CHAPTER 3:
"Gryffindor first years follow me!" said one of the older students. "My name is Henry Shield and I'm head boy. Our common room is located on the seventh floor behind the portrait of the fat lady. A password is required to enter the room" he said, while leading them up the seven flights of stairs. Sarah looked all around her to see that the moving pictures covered all of the walls. Some sat and minded their own business, while others greeted the passing students, or perhaps cursing them to "shut that light out!"
The group came to a stop in front of the fat lady, "Signum." Henry smiled at the confused first years, "it means password in latin."
The Gryffindor common room was large and...red. Sarah looked around and she didn't think she'd seen so much red in one room. To her left there was a fire burning with couches and love seats surrounding it.
"You'll find all your bags in your rooms", and with that everyone raced up the stairs, the boys to the left, and the girls to the right. Sarah's room was the fifth one to the left with four other girls.
"Hi! I'm Alice Prewett" the girl had short, black wispy hair that framed her round face. Her eyes where kind and blue.
"Sarah Wood" she said, shaking Alice's out stretched hand.
"I'm Marlene Mckinnon." Marlene was, as Sarah noticed, quite beautiful for an eleven year old. She had Brown straight hair and blue eyes that seemed to always hold a secret.
"And I'm Mary Macdonald" Sarah looked to her left to see that Mary was a small one, perhaps the smallest of all the girls. She had blonde hair that fell almost perfectly down past her shoulders in neat waves. Her eyes, unlike Marlene's mischievous blue, where round and innocent. Very much like Mary's personality indeed.
"You can take that bed by the window, no one is using it." Mary said.
Sarah smiled and made her way to the empty bed to find her trunk sitting at the foot of the bed. She silently started to unpack her things when a girl with red hair a couple shades darker then her own, almost a vibrant red, and the same green eyes.
"I'm Lily Evans. I noticed you had a pack of Oreos in your bag"
Sarah smiled, "I'm muggle born, and they're my absolute favorite"
"I like dipping mine in peanut butter" Lily said, "but most people find it rather repulsive"
Sarah's eyes bulged, " I love doing that! My sister Charlotte often makes fun of me for it"
The rest of the night found the two girls sitting on Lily's bed, talking about their family's and where they came from until the early hours of the morning. They didn't know it at the time, but these two girls will live to become the best of friends for the rest of the short lives.
*I was watching the parent trap and just couldn't resist putting the part of the oreos in here. I don't own the parent trap.*
