Longest Day in the history of days

Willow woke with a start, laying in the way-too-warm sheets. That being said, Willow crept out of bed to the washroom, to take a shower and do her hair. For some reason, Willow's curls were being very difficult to straighten. A very short girl with wavy brown hair rushed in looking stressed, searching for the straightener that Willow was holding.

"Are you looking for this?" Willow handed the girl the straightener, and the girl let out a relieved sign.

"I've been looking for this stupid thing everywhere" said the girl. She had an American accent just like Willow. "I'm Millie, Millie Herbert."

"Willow Peaks. Great to meet you" Willow laughed at Millie's huge smile and strong grip on the straightener.

"You're the new kid!" Said Millie after looking Willow up and down "My friend told me about you."

"And who told you about me..?" Willow asked, with peaked interest.

"I'm not sure if you've met him, but his name is Draco?" Millie looked into the mirror, trying to tame her curls.

"Oh, yeah. I know him. Does he-" Willow started but got cut off

"Yes, he does become nicer the more you know him." Millie said, placing down the iron, giving up on her still perfectly curly hair.

Willow took the iron and finished her own hair, while listening to Millie rant about how happy she was to meet a fellow Gryffindor.

"What is your first class?" Willow asked once Millie stopped talking.

"Defence of the Dark arts with Professor Lupin." Millie said very proudly "What about you?"

"Same as you. I'm pretty sure my friends have that class too. I'm sure they would love to meet you" Willow said, making Millie's face light up.

Millie left the washroom, leaving Willow to finish getting ready. Underneath her robe, she wore a dark green pull-over, and black leggings. From the night before, she heard that Professor Snape favored Slytherins, so she hid her Slytherin robe in her book bag. Then, she walked down to the common room, to see Hermione, Ron, and Harry all sitting on the couch. Millie popped up behind Willow, causing her to jump.

"Might as well introduce you to my friends." Willow said, grabbing Millie's wrist and dragging her down the wooden stairs.

"Guys! Morning!" Willow said as the trio turned their heads.

"Willow! Good morning!" Ron said with a welcoming smile.

"This is my friend, Millie Herbert" Willow announced, and the trio smiled softly. "Millie, this is Ron, Harry and Hermione" She said pointing out each person

"Oh- uhm- nice to meet you." Said Millie in an uncomfortable way. Willow knew something was wrong, but didn't care to ask.

"Hello!" Harry said with pink-ish cheeks, making Willow laugh quietly.

"Well, its great meeting you all." said Millie, waving goodbye. Willow and the trio stayed behind, talking about anything and everything. Hermione found another reason why the hat couldn't decide, and was putting her own spin on it.

"It was a fairly old textbook, but it says that 'Non magical witches and wizards cannot be sorted, or those whose minds interfere with the Hat' so maybe your thoughts intertwined with the Hats decision?"

"I doubt that's what happened. Hermione, what 'bout you just put down the book, and we get to breakfast. I am starving" Ron complained, slowly sinking into the couch.

"Sounds like a decent plan. C'mon" Harry stood up but not faster than Ron, while Hermione clutched all of her books, and they all went downstairs.
