Chapter 31 - The New Boy

Ethan POV

I wandered in to this new school. It was huge!

Hogwarts was certainly much bigger than my last school, The young Wizarding Academy.

Professor Dumbledore put the hat on my head when I arrived.

I was put in to Gryffindore.

My name is Ethan Scott.

I have short brown hair which I spike up.

I have lightly bronzed skin.

My height is average for a 13 year old.

I Followed Professor up to the Gryffindore common room.

He explained to me how to get in then he disappeared up to his office.

How queer. He seemed to have something wrong the way he barley spoke to me the whole way through my sorting.

Most other teachers would ask about my past.

My family...

No! I told myself I wouldn't think about them!

The memories hurt. Badly.

I opened up the portrait.

I walked in to a large red and gold room.

It was full of puffy chairs and long sofas.

The common room was empty apart from one girl.

She was sitting on the floor next to the fire her hands were curled up in her lap.

She was leaning forward.

I looked at her.

Her ruby red like were set in a small pout.

Her sleek dark hair swung forward and masked the rest of her face.

She was pale with a small nose.

Her robes hugged her figure.

She was... gorgeous.

She looked up as if she could feel my gaze on her, "Hello?" She did a double take and she stood up.

"Who are you?" She drew her wand out.

I put my hands up, "Don't worry. I'm new here. I'm a second year."

She lowered her wand, "Oh! I'm so sorry! You can't be to careful these days. I'm Alice! Pleased to meet you! I'm in second year too!" She held out her hand.

It now was my turn to do a double take, "Alice Potter is it! Wow...    I'm Ethan Scott,"

I shook her hand.

"Yes my name is Alice Potter. Why do you sound so shocked?"

"Oh it's just..." I stopped. I had to make up an excuse. I couldn't tell her that I never imagined she was so gorgeous. "I've read about you."

Great. That sounded stupid.

She laughed. It was a really pretty laugh.

She smiled. It was warm and radiant. I smiled back.

"So Miss Potter Ma'am," I asked cheekily.

"OY!" She brock down in hysterics, "What's that in aid of! Its Alice. Just Alice. Okay?"

"Ok Alice just Alice. That's fine. Where is every one?"

I looked at the portrait door again.

I could feel her warm gaze on the back of my neck. I turned to face her.

A blush rose to her cheeks. They turned deep crimson.

"Ermm they're at dinner. In the great hall.

"Ahh. May I ask why you are not with them?"

"I just... Needed a breather."

"I see Alice just Alice. By the way why are your cheeks red?"

Her cheeks turned an even deeper red.

"Don't worry. Trick question," I told her through my laughter.

"Haha. Very funny." She had tried to mask her amusement but her laughter broke through.

She collapsed on the floor shaking with laughter.

I started laughing again too.

Soon I also joined her rolling on the floor.

I didn't know what we were laughing at. We were just laughing.

Alice. Her name had a nice ring to it. I liked it. But I liked her even more...

"SHUT UP ETHAN!" I thought. I had never felt this way about a girl before.

Especially one I had just met.

It was a different feeling. A weird feeling.

She wouldn't feel the same. Would she?

No. This was Alice Potter for goodness sake! She was probably already taken.

The thought of seeing her with someone else made me feel queasy.

I picked myself up off the floor. Alice had already calmed herself down and staring at me.

"At last!" She exclaimed, "I want to get some dinner tonight!"

A small grin was on her face.

"Are you going to be a lady and take this lost and lonely gentleman to get food?" I grinned at her.

"LOST AND LONELY! How are you! I'm here!" She exclaimed.

I grinned at her. "So are you going to take me down there then?"

"All right. Let's go Ethan."

Alice grabbed my arm and pulled me out if the common room.

Her hand was touching my bare skin.

Her tough tingled with electricity.

Even if she wasn't taken she wouldn't want me.

Would She?
