3. Settling In

Blair:

Up close the blonde boys eyes are a cold grey with a hint of blue. He didn't seem friendly to others but his friends. He gave me this glare before looking at the boy next to him. 

"I don't know why we have to come like 5 days before the first day of school, honestly we only need a day or two to unpack," the girl with brown hair says next to me.

"I actually agree with you Willow, like why come on a Wednesday when first day of school is on Monday?" Daphne replies. Willow? Hmm, she seems sweet more shy than Daphne. I wonder how long all of these kids have been friends for? Probably most of they're life. 

"Okay so across from me that girl is Pansy, she's boy crazy and always says whats on her mind. Next to her is Blaise he's kind but him and the blonde boy beside him are always getting into trouble. That there is Draco he keeps to himself but bullies like everyone who is not in Slytherin," Daphne whispers to me. Draco? I'm not surprised how she described him.  "Girl next to you is Willow, she's the sweetest girl you'll meet we don't know why she's in Slytherin. And Theo, Grabbe , and Goyle are also in our group but seem to not be here." 

"Thanks," I respond. I like how Daphne can tell what I'm thinking. 

"House perfects please show your houses to they're common rooms at this time," Mrs. Mcgonagall finishes her speech with. What the fuck is a house perfect? Hogwarts is kinda strange. 

I follow Daphne not knowing who the house perfect is. We walk down these creepy dark stairs and hallway. Why is Slytherin in the dungeons? 

"Pure Blood," a student shouts. 

We walk into this green room, chills rush down my body. Even with a fire the room is cold but yet has a cozy feel. It's dark but beautiful. "Over there is the boys dormitories and up those stairs are the girls." the student who said the password says to us. 

"Looks like you're sharing a room with me and Willow," Daphne looks at me with a big smile. We find our dorm and settle in. I choose the bed closest to the back wall furthest from the bathroom. Daphne picked the middle bed leaving Willow with the bed closest to the bathrooms. I started to feel excited for my year at Hogwarts, I already have friends who seem great. 

Draco:

My dad pays extra money for me to have my own room which I love because I can bring a girl in it with no interruptions. Plus then I don't have to listen to Nott's snoring. That boy sounds like a fucking fright train, I shared a dorm with him first and second year until I made my farther get me my own dorm. 

I'm glad to get away from my house honestly. My farther and some death eaters have meetings all the time and it's quite annoying really. My poor mother tends to them all even though we have house elfs to do that for us. She loves my dad more than he loves her. I think he was once in love but now its for looks and of course to carry on the blood line. 

I unpack all my clothes which isn't a lot. I only bring suits, a few hoodies, shirts, sweat pants, and shorts. 

Knock. Knock. Before asking who is it Blaise barges in. He's been my best friend since we were very young. He is the only person I trust with my life really. Sometimes he can be a pain in my ass though. 

"Dude we have two new teachers this year, Umbirdge and Slughorn. Please tell me we have some of the same classes," Blaise rambles on to me. I've heard of both teachers, Slughorn was a teacher back when Voldamort was here and Umbridge works for the Ministry of Magic. Both are crazy but in different ways.

"We have all classes together it must be wrong. There's no way they put us in all the same classes," I say in shock. Dumbledore knows we are trouble so why would he make sure we are in all classes with each other.  I wonder if I have any classes with Blair.

Blaise and I head to the couch in front of the fireplace where Crabbe, Goyle, Nott, and Pansy are already sitting. 

"Hello boys," Pansy says in a flirty tone to the both of us. You can name about any boy in any house and Pansy has either liked or fucked. That girl gets around to be honest I'm surprised she's not knocked up yet. 

"I hate my classes this year, I have charms again," Theodore groans. 

"haven't you failed that class like three times?" Pansy laughs. She's not wrong, Theo has taken charms for the past 3 years and has always failed. 

I zone out from how boring this conversation is. I really couldn't care less about classes or school in general. My farther has my future planned out for me.  I spin my silver ring around my finger. My mother gave it to me for my birthday last year. I guess it's been in my family for a long time or something like that. 

Blair: 

"Hell Yeah!" Daphne shouts looking at our schedules that are identical. I really am gonna hate my mom as my teacher.

"Ugh I have like only a few with you two," Willow complains. 

"It's fine we still will see you in potions though," I reassure her even though it wont make it better.  We all are walking to the common room where I see the group of friends I sat with earlier today. Three faces I didn't see but I assume are Theo, Crabbe, and Goyle. 

"There's my hot bitches," Pansy winks at us. 

"You know it girlfriend," Daphne blows a kiss. All the boys make a weird face towards the two of them. 

We sit and talk for a long time before we all head off to bed. I couldn't fall asleep though, I miss my own bed and room. I normally don't get homesick but I felt different in this castle. Tossing and turning all night. I woke up Willow by accident. 

"Blair is that you who keeps moving around?" she gives a sleepy look to me. 

"Yeah sorry I can't seem to fall asleep," I apologized for waking the tired girl. She  didn't seem upset though. 

"It's fine. If you want we can go get water from the common room?" I know she really doesn't want to from her eyes still closed. But I still like the offer. 

"If you want I can go by myself if you want to keep sleeping."

"No I'll go with you," she mumbles while getting out the bed. We both open the door trying not to wake Daphne. It was quite and dark in the common room at night. Peaceful.  No one was down here which was nice because I'd probably get frighten by another body. 

"Looks like all the cups are cleaning and none are clean," I tell her. Making her groan. She rubs her eyes turning around to walk back to our room. 

"I'll come up later I wanna sit down here awhile," I tell her. She gives me a thumbs up that I could barley see. I sit in my own thoughts for another hour before heading to my bed. It helped because once my face hit the pillow I passed out.
