"Rumour has it that we have two new students" George whispered which caught my attention, I looked at him for the first time since we got to the great hall, "You know who they are?" I asked, he nodded slowly, "Met them before we got onto the train this morning, well our mum did" Fred told me, a smirk played at my lips as the doors to the great hall opened and a girl, short in stature walked through, holding the hand of another girl who only looked about eleven, they walked down the aisle and towards where Dumbledore was sitting, "Oh, Ms Montgomery" Dumbledore stood up, "Everyone welcome our two newest students, Iris Montgomery-", Iris swished her hair over her shoulder awkwardly, "And her younger sister, Robyn Montgomery" Dumbledore finished, the young girl smiled widely, "We're going to sort you two now" Dumbledore told the two, they both nodded, Iris more slowly than her sister, the stool and the hat was brought out and Robyn was going to be sorted first, she sat on the stool and McGonagall placed the hat onto Robyn's head, "Hufflepuff!" the hat called out, the Hufflepuffs erupted with cheers as Robyn went to go join them, shaking everyone's hand, Iris was next and she sat down, her robes falling over the stool, the hat was placed upon her head, "I haven't seen someone this difficult since Harry Potter...." the hat started, Iris wasn't smiling but was staring blankly at her hands, "You have a good brain, you're courageous, good at making friends but a thirst to prove yourself.." the hat rambled on, Iris looked around nervously and looked at me, her expression softened almost instantly, "Better be.....RAVENCLAW!" the hat finally called, I sank down into my seat as the Ravenclaw table cheered loudly, she stood up and awkwardly shuffled over to Ravenclaw table.

We walked to the common room quickly, I didn't dare speak a word as it seemed everyone was very cautious of me despite their cheers of excitement in the hall, I kept my head down as our head boy lead us through two elegant doors with small ravens on the knockers, the doors opened without anyone having to touch them and I was faced with the Ravenclaw common room for the first time, everyone split off quickly to their dorms and I stood in the middle of the common room in awe, books adorned every bookshelf, the fire was roaring and Ravenclaw second years were studying, noses in their books but it seemed as they were silently communicating with each other with their eyes, a few glanced at me then back at each other, I shook my head and looked away and at the ceiling, beautiful paintings were skilfully depicted onto the marble, as if Michelangelo himself had painted them, the patterns stretched down the walls as well as if the paint had been running, "Iris Montgomery" my name made me stop looking at the wall and snap my head towards the sound, the head boy for Ravenclaw stood in front of me with a garden hamper in his arms, I looked down into the basket and flowers were growing in all different directions as well as small grassy plants, "This is for you, its a welcoming gift!" he sounded excited as he shoved the hamper into my arms, I giggled softly, "Thank you" I bowed my head to him, he was quick to compose himself and the small sparkle in his eye disappeared, he cleared his throat, "Your dorm is upstairs" he noted, putting a hand on the small of my back and leading me up the stairs, I giggled softly feeling my body begin to heat up as he guided me up the stairs and to my dorm, he produced a key from his pocket and without removing his hand from my back, swiftly unlocked the door, I put my hand out and grabbed the handle, pulling it down, the door swung open and the room was quite barren but I could definitely fill it up with the shit I needed, the same paintings from the common room had seemed to be copied onto the canopy ceiling above me, "I'll leave you to get sorted" he told me, I had forgotten he was there as I had grown fond of his hand being fixed to the small of my back, yet something still crossed my mind as he left, 

Did I just meet Oliver Wood in the great hall?
