Sunny side

Introductions

The next day we were supposed to meet in the common room to go to hogsmeade.
I was a nervous wreck.
I was almost about to text Pansy that I wouldn't come as it knocked on my door.
As I opened I found Pansy with a big smile.

„Ready little sunshine?"

„Pansy I don't know"

„Nuh uh! No backing up now!"

She grabbed my arm and pulled me with her.

„It will be great believe me"

As we reached the common room I saw the two girls sitting on one of the couches.

One tall, slim girl with beautiful grey eyes and long ice blond hair.

The other was shorter but also very slim, with shoulder length warm brown hair and hazel eyes.

Pansy pushed me in front of her towards the two.

„H-hi I-I'm Ael-„

I stammered clearly nervous.
The blonde girl got up and instantly hugged me.
She smelled like vanilla.

„I'm Astoria. Nice to finally meet you"

The other girl followed her.
She smelled more like cinnamon.

„I'm Daphne. I'm happy you're coming with us Sunny"

I blinked as she used the nickname Pansy and Enzo had given me.
I looked back to Pansy.

„Oh well maybe I talked a bit about you"

she smiled guilty.

„A little? She's non stopp talking about you"

Astoria laughed loud.

„Oh"

I got bright red.

„Don't worry only good things"

Daphne winked.

„And she did not lie. You're so pretty"

I got even redder.
I said nothing.
I wasn't used to this.

„Come on give her space. Let's go. Before the three broomsticks are full"

Pansy shushed them and pushed us all in direction of the exit.

I hadn't talked one word on the way.
I learned that Pansy and Daphne were the most talkative ones of them.

After some time Daphne and Pansy were walking a couple of steps before me and Astoria.
She broke the silence.

„I heard you're very good in classes"

I looked up to her.

„Oh ehm yes. I'm almost best of our year"

I said slightly blushing.

„Oh wow! That's crazy. I'm quite good but I just can't get behind potions. I suck at this."

She laughed.

„Oh it's not that complicated when you know some ground rules."

I hesitated but smiled.

„I could help you some time if you like."

Astoria's face lit up.

„Oh that would be so great. I don't wanna fail this class."

„Oh no problem. And uhm I really like your coat. It's so cute. It fits you perfectly"

I said looking at her long beige coat.
