AN: Wow, I love you guys! Thank you for all the reviews, following and favouriting! It's great to know you guys like my story!
Ravenclaw?! I slide next to Vicky on the Ravenclaw table. Ravenlaw? I should be in Gryffindor! With Al! With Scorpius! I bite my lip. What is Mum going to say? What will Dad think? I begin to panic. Vicky elbows me, I look down at her. Her eyebrows knitted together, she was frowning at me. She hissed.
"I do hope you don't have a breathing problem, because it will be very hard to share a dorm with you!"
I blink, quite shocked by the coldness in her voice, I look away. I can't help feeling slightly hurt. I gaze over to the Gryffindor table. I see Albus straight away, he's grinning and obviously in deep conversation with Scorpius and the boy with the thousands of freckles, Jack. I feel very jealous. I should be in Gryffindor! Me! Albus doesn't deserve to be in...what am I thinking? Of course Al deserves to be in Gryffindor! I can't believe I could be that horrible...
An old woman glides to the pulpit and the hall goes immediately silent. Her blue eyes don't scan the hall like Proffesor Silsbury's did, they gaze us. The woman's mouth spreads into a loving smile.
"Welcome back, dear students!"
Her voice is very sweet.
"I hope you have all a nice holiday! Because now you have to settle down and work hard, or else you won't be getting another one!" She and the rest of hall laughs. I frown, she better be kidding.
She throws her head back laughing,
"Now! First years, I am Headmistress Sable."
I'm not sure if I like her or not, at that moment our eyes meet. I feel an uncomfortable shiver. She's to notice.
"...Some of you seem a little cold."
With a flick of her wrist candles appear floating around. She nods in my direction and carries on with her speech. Vicky tugs on the sleeve of my robe.
"She looked at you." I turn to her, her brown eyes staring at me in disbelief.
"Yes?" I whisper back, "She seemed to know I was cold as well, what's wrong with that?'"
Vicky shrugs and mutters,
"It was just the way she looked at you..." She then reached to grab a steak. Wait! Food! There was so much to choose from, there were steak, chicken legs, turkey strips, duck breast, beef, various vegetables, potatoes and I'm not going to list the others because the food was disappearing into people's mouths fast.
By the time the pudding disappears, my stomach is bursting with ice cream and crumble.
"Now off to bed my little ones!" Sable cried. Vicky and I stand up, she's only up to my collar bone and make our way to the Ravenclaw prefect, who is calling. When we see her, I then remember. It's Molly. She smiles at us and leads us and the rest of my house out of the hall. We practically run to keep up with Molly's swift walking, eventually we come to an open doorway, I look up and above are hundreds of staircases. Oh, and most of them are moving.
"Hurry, now! Or you shall be left behind!"
Molly cries from the top of a stair case, we run up. We go up five stair cases and go through a corridor at the end of the corridor is a spiral stair cases we go up it. By then end of that we are all out of breath. We stop suddenly, Vicky and I, who were right behind Molly, are pushed forward, Vicky stumbles and falls into Molly. She turns round.
"Stop pushing!" She snaps and knocks the door with an eagle door-knocker. In stead of the door opening, the eagle's beak opens and with a strong, loud voice:
"Give me food, and I will live; give me water, and I will die. What am I?"
A riddle. Molly smirks, "Fire." Eagle nods,
"Correct." The door swings open, revealing the common room.
Molly leads us through, the room in big, airy and circular. The walls are painted light blue, the drapes a rich blue. Windows surround the whole thing. Next to the door we just came in are to curved book cases. There Where a few tables that were near each one. There is a fireplace at the other end of the room, surrounded by a few chairs and a couch, all a bronze colour. At either side of the fireplace was to spiral stair cases.
"Now." Molly says, forcing our attention back to her "This is the common room, where you shall mingle and study. The staircase on the left is the girls, and the one on the right is the boys. Now, you were chosen to be in Ravenclaw for a reason, so I hope none of you are too thick to get in here."
She smirks again.
"Your luggage will be in your dormitories, you can choose where you sleep. Now go get ready for bed." We obediently go up to our dormitories. Vicky and I are last to get into our dorm. I pick up my suitcase and go to the bed next to the door, right next to the window. I place my suitcase down and turn to see who my neighbour will be. I find on the bed next to mine, a girl with wild hair, tanned skin, slim structure and narrow dark eyes sitting on the bed. She was rummaging through her case, humming absently mindedly. She looks up at me, her dark hair springing at her every movement.
"What are you staring at?"
She had slight Spanish accent, she seemed rolled her "r"s.
"Nothing..." I trail off
"Well you have to be staring at something!" She demanded
"I...er...was just wondering what you were looking for"
She sighed.
"I'm looking for my damn nightwear!" She responded, throwing her hands up in desperation. "My mother has not packed them!"
"Oh." I reply. I feel sorry for her. Never in a million years would my mum forget to pack anything, but then again, my mum is a control freak. She stands up, she's almost as tall as me.
I reach into my suitcase.
"Y'know." I say timidly "My mum packs two of everything...do you want to borrow some of my pyjamas?" I show her some folded pyjamas.
She looks at me with great surprise.
"Really?"
I nod, she grins and gratefully takes them. She returns to her bed and turns around to face me.
"I'm Valencia. You can call me Val." She tells me.
"I'm Rose...You can call me Rose." We smile at each other and change into our nightwear.
When we are done, I sit cross-legged on the end of my bed and begin writing a letter to my mum. A shadow blocks the lanterns light, I look up to see Val staring down at me.
"Sorry." She says quickly, "Just wanted to see what you where doing."
"I'm writing a letter to my mum."
"About?" Val asks moving and sitting on the opposite side of the bed.
"Well...My mum and dad wanted me to be in Gryffindor."
Val shrugs.
"Ravenclaw is better!"
"..."
"You don't think that?"
"Well, it's a good house, I just thought I'd be in Gryffindor, my mum and dad was, so where most of my uncles and aunts."
"Who in your family is Ravenclaw?"
"Molly, she was the prefect who lead us here."
"Oh! The stuck up one!" I can't help but smile, after talking to Val for a while, you learning how brutally honest she is.
"She's not stuck up..."
"Just self-conceited."
I laugh a little. Val smiles.
"My family wasn't in any of the houses. Both my parents are Muggles you see."
"My mum was muggleborn!" I respond.
"Really? Are you half and half then?"
I nod. Then there is a knock on the door. Carly, who I recognise from the sorting, calls them to come in. Molly enters clutching several pieces of white cardboard.
"Right, I made you guys timetables for the year!" We rush towards her and take them, thanking her. Vicky begins to surround her with questions. Molly interrupts her.
"Please, I will answer them soon, I have to go meet with Hugh."
"Who's Hugh?" Val pipes up.
"He's a prefect, we are meeting up to go to the meeting together."
Dorm makes a loud "Ooooooh!"
Molly goes bright red.
"It's not like that at all!" At that she leaves, calling "lights out!" as she shuts the door.
AN: Hope you liked it! Review? :)
