A Bitter Silence (Version two of 'Silence is Music?')

8

I woke up feeling refreshed, vitalised, and ready to explore.

I got a proper look at the girls dormitory for the first time, and it was pretty sweet! Instead of all the girls in one year sleeping in the same room, it was two or three girls per room, with a shared lounge area and bathrooms for the year.

I loved it!

Us girls all met up, there were five of us, Pansy, Me, Millicent, Tracy Davis and Daphne. I was put in a room with Millicent whose smell was horrible, and Tracy who was to obsessed with makeup and boys, PP and DG shared. I wasn't very happy about the arrangements. I didn't really mind being in Slytherin, after all, the prejudiced thoughts from the Weasleys couldn't all be true, but living in the same room as them for seven years would be a nightmare.

We each had a sink in the bathroom, and there were two cubicles and showers. The lounge consisted of an assortment of beanbags and a desk. An instant comfy spot!

To give everyone the chance to settle in, lessons started late that day. So we just sat around and gossiped, told each other stuff about us, and just did stuff in general...

We got our robes on for the late breakfast and ate at the Snakes table, I slipped out early and met Fred and George in an empty room.

"Har! What happened?"

"Slytherin!"

"You're not evil!"

Percy joined in, "I must say, Harmony, I expected you to get into Gryffindor! Or even Ravenclaw!"

"It's the Weasley tradition! Stinking Slytherin!"

"But she's not a Weasley." Ron said, with a menacing glare. "Look at her, she is as different as that stupid bird of hers is to Scabbers! She doesn't belong, she never did, now we know for sure. Harry Potter doesn't like her, now that's a sign. She's a stupid, stealing, stinking Slytherin!" He stared at me. "I'm not going to walk out, you're the one who doesn't belong."

I stopped and stared. For one long second. But Potter came in and glared at me.

I grabbed my bag, swallowing back the tears, and ran headlong into Daphne. She stumbled a bit, but I cought her, and I rubbed my red eyes furiously. She stared at me for a second, then dragged me to the dorms. PP was there.

First we 'talked' it out, I signed and PP translated, for purebloods, they were really understanding. We then messed around with makeup to cover the blotches on my face, and I came out feeling almost as good as new, obviously I was still sad, but I had friends, and pranking!

Yes, definitely the pranking.

Hey guys, can any of you think of an actor for Harmony? If you find an amazing one there will be dedications! Toodles (}:
