With the banquet now over and everyone's stomachs filled to the brim, the food vanishes and the students are left to mingle, the same for the professors. Chloe had remained with her brother but Jessica, Grace and Stephanie had wandered off to their siblings who were all chatting together. Jessicas brothers were luckily all together, and she approached them with a sad face.
"Whats up?" Ron asks, his smile dropping.
Before she could reply, Grace walked between them to get to Hermione and tapped her.
"Can I talk to you?" This was the most serious anyone had seen her.
"Of course." Hermione says, the two sat down at the table.
"So?" Prods Fred, their attention turning back to Jessica. They hadn't noticed that Harry was also preoccupided with Stephanie.
"I don't want anything to change since you all are in Gryffindor and I'm a Slytherin." Jessica says, avoiding eye contact.
"Eh?" Was all Fred and Ron could muster.
"Don't be so daft! You're our lovely little sister and nothing will change that." George says as he pinches one of her cheeks and grins.
"I wouldn't go that far but phew, thank goodness." Jessica says, as she wipes non-existant sweat from her forehead.
"Get a load of this!" Harry shouts to his friends. Once he gets their attention, he jerks his thumb at Stephanie. "Doofus, thought I would be upset that she's a Slytherin."
"Huh." Hermione says. "That's weird, Grace was just talking to me like that as well."
"So wait, you were all worried that we would hate you because we're in different houses?" Ron asks, incredulously.
"Well..." Jessica starts, unable to finish.
"Yeah." Grace finishes.
Before anything further could be said, Dumbledore spoke up.
"I wish you all a very good year here at Hogwarts."
