First Year,
A Taste For Adventure

Once the girls arrived at Hogwarts, Rhea couldn't contain her excitement, she pushed her way to the front of the students, pulling Phoebe and Laura along with her. She continued to hold Phoebe's hand as she could sense her sister, anxiety building up, she was most curious to know who Professor Snape was, after hearing stories from her dad.

As Professor McGonagall approached, she was exactly how Rhea expected her to be, she guided the students through the Great Hall, after her rather long speech. She gazed up to the ceiling night sky, full of stars, giving the appearance that there was no roof, Rhea waved at her cousin Ethan as they walked past, he smiled at the three girls.

Rhea knew what house she was going to be in, Gryffindor like her father. She was just like her dad, there was no way she wouldn't be in Gryffindor. The first one of them that was called to be sorted was her sister Phoebe, she reluctantly let go of her hand walking over to Professor McGonagall, Rhea crossed her fingers, as the sorting hat was placed on her head.

"RAVENCLAW!" she glanced over to the Ravenclaw table, as Phoebe walked over to the Ravenclaw table Rhea was called, she sat on the stool as Professor McGonagall sat the sorting hat on her head.

"Please Ravenclaw, please Ravenclaw," Rhea thought hoping to sway the hat's decision.

"Hmm, there's talent and a taste for adventure, this is an easy one,"

"GRYFFINDOR!" Rhea jumped down off the stool walking to the Gryffindor table, she turned around to look for Phoebe.

"Hey, you alright?" Ethan asked,

"Yes, Laura's about to be sorted,"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Can you believe it all different houses," she tried to sound confident,

"Don't worry, they have Penny and Lou with them,"

"Yeah, you're right," she mumbled as the Gryffindor Prefect, lead the new First year Gryffindor students to their dormitory for the next seven years.

Unlike, Phoebe and Laura, she knew what to expect as Ethan was in his third year now. He loved that he was eligible to go to Hogsmeade and thanks to Rhea's parents he could go, meaning he could get away from her, Laura and Phoebe, much to their dismay.

"Which bed would you like?" a dark girl with beautiful dark eyes said, she smiled at her, feeling self-conscious about her appearance, as her hair was messy and untamed.

"Whichever is left I don't mind," she said "I'm Rhea, I know we met on the train, but I don't think we exchanged names,"

"Angelina," she held her hand out for Rhea, she shook her hand, as the two girls turned to unpack their bags, along with another girl, who shared their dorm room. Before Rhea settled down for the night, she wrote to her parents.

Dear Mum, Dad and Uncle Reg,

Hogwarts is just like you said, although the train ride was way too long, I couldn't wait to be here. You won't believe we were all sorted into different houses, I know crazy right. Laura is in Hufflepuff, I think Yellow will suit her well, Phoebe is a Ravenclaw, I can see it. But I'm also worried because now she's on her own.

As you might have guessed I'm in Gryffindor like dad always said I would be, I guess I have more of an advantage than Laura and Pheebs, I have Ethan with me. He wasn't very reassuring about Laura and Phoebe, but I'll look after them, don't worry.

Love Rhea.

***

Rhea woke up nice and fresh for her first day, she was different to her sister and cousin, while they were probably busy doing their her, she flipped her head forward, ruffling her hair, untangling small knots in her hair. Flipping her hair back she was done, just moving a few strands aside, leaving her dark hair voluminous.

She wore her Gryffindor robes and tie with pride as she made her way down to the Great Hall for breakfast. She scanned her timetable, it looked like she had Professor McGonagall's class first, Transfiguration. The class she was most excited for. It was her mother's favourite and hers too, they would sit for hours discussing the theory of new Transfiguration techniques.

When she arrived at the Great Hall, she was concerned that she only saw Laura there, 'I hope Phoebe didn't have a bad night,' she thought. They made their way to their Transfiguration class, where they spotted Phoebe in her blue robes, with blue and bronze tie.

"Blue looks good on you, really brings out your eyes," she said smiling at her.

Laura did 'eenie meenie' to see who she would sit with, 'seemed fair' though it landed on Phoebe, so Rhea was sat alone. She spotted Angelina and decide to sit with her, the two girls immediately struck up a conversation about their favourite bands both girls enjoyed a mix of Muggle and Wizarding music. Though Angelina seemed surprised that Rhea knew about anything Muggle, given what her family name was.

All throughout class Rhea kept glancing across at Phoebe to make sure she was alright Rhea had explained to Angelina and Alicia; who also shared their room. That the three of them had never been separated before, she didn't they'd all be in the same house, but at least two of them would be. A ball of paper hit the back of her.

'Stare much'

She turned around, to see one of them Red-headed twins smirking as he did his work, though she wasn't convinced he was actually working. After class finished, Rhea was going to confront the boy, she could only see one of them, she grabbed their sleeve.

"What is your problem?"

"Excuse me?"

"You bumped into me on the train, now you're throwing silly notes in class," the boys looked at her confused.

"I'm sorry, you have the wrong one," she creased her brows before she realised

"Your his twin aren't you,"

"Yes, my name's George by the way," he smiled at her.

"Rhea," she shook his hand "I'm sorry, for snapping at you, I wouldn't if I knew,"

"Don't worry about it, it's nice to meet you, Rhea,"
