Beatrice Knox;

I arrive back to my dorm to see that all my things were unpacked. I was yet to see who I would be sharing a dorm with, I was excited after all, but I hoped it was one of the three girls I had already met. I walk over to the giant wardrobe and open it, only to see that it was enchanted and led to a room full of clothes, one half seemed to be mine since I recognized all of the outfits and the other half would have to be my roommates. I grab a pair of soft baby blue shorts, they almost fit like spandex but had a small flowy-ness to them. I threw on a baby blue tank top to match with the shorts, then threw on a black hoodie over the tank top. I slipped on a pair of slippers and then threw my hair into a low messy bun. I remembered Draco mentioning that there was an astronomy tower, and I remember Astoria showing me a giant spiral stairway that she said she did not feel like climbing up. I crept out of my dorm and then walked to where the staircase from earlier was.

It wasn't as bad of a walk as earlier but it for sure still sucked.

There are so many stairs in this castle.

I thought to myself as I finally got to the top of what I hoped to be the astronomy tower. Upon arrival I spotted Theodore standing over the railing looking out into the sky. He had a lighter in his hand and he was messing around with it, lighting it and then turning it off.

"You can come out, I could hear your heavy footsteps from a mile away"

I almost jump at his voice, realizing that I had been standing behind the wall peering in at him.

"Good evening Theodore, beautiful night isn't it"

"Lovely indeed."

I walked over to the railing he was standing at and followed his eyes into the sky.

As I point into the sky I announce to him "Thats the Big Dipper"

He nods his head at me, he was very uninterested in anything I had to say.

"That one is Ursa Major, and next to it is named Draco. I seem to recall you have a friend named Draco"

That got his attention, he actually glanced at me when I said that. Maybe it was the idea of me mentioning his friend that made him look but it felt nice. He smiled to himself and almost chuckled as he reached into his pocket and grabbed a pack of cigarettes out. He opens them and grabs one for himself, then turns to me and takes one out offering it to me.

"Thank you, now what's so funny?"

I take cigarette from him and wait for him to say what he had been laughing about. He takes a long drag from his cigarette and then blows it into the air watching the smoke fade away. He hands me the lighter and then says

"For some reason I never expected you to know anything about Astronomy" he says as he takes another breath of his cigarette.

"Well, my father was an astronomer. Also at my old school they had us study astronomy every Tuesday and Thursday."

But this time he didn't say anything afterwords. I didn't mind though, the silence was nice. I took a drag from my cigarette and handed the lighter back to him, his finger tips slightly touching mine. He looked into my eyes like no guy ever has, like he was trying to figure me out without talking or touching me. His eyes flicked to my lips and then back up at my eyes. He let out a puff of smoke into my face as he turned around to watch the stars again. I turned towards the stairs, the sound of laughter filled the staircase. I didn't recognize any of the faces, but they were Slytherins. A few were wearing blue which I remembered that those ones were named Ravenclaws. A taller redhead with long eyelashes walked over to us keeping one eye on me the whole time. She swung herself onto Theodore and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hello Theooo"

She said in a way that made me cringe. My face must've shown in it because she shot me a dirty look as Theos hand went to her waist. He slowly pulled her into him and whispered something in her ear all while keeping his eyes on me. Her friends were all laughing and giggling. She broke out into a fit of laughter burring her head into his chest.

"Well Theodore, and cinderellas step sister, I must get going. Thank you for the cigarette"

I gave a the girl a sweet sincere smile and then patted Theos chest and walked away. She didn't say anything, but I should've known to never turn my back on a red head. Their temper was insane. I heard the spell but it was too late, water poured all over me soaking every part of my body. I laughed and turned around to face her.

"Bloody hell is wrong with you??"

My mother hated when I said bloody hell, but I didn't mind saying it now because this girl deserved it. With a flick of my wand the girl started to look scared, I had been saving that spell for the right time and this was it. She immediately started croaking like a frog. Theodore's draw dropped, he turned to her as he heard the sound and I saw a smile creep onto his face. I walked the rest of the way hearing her friends scream behind me as she started to throw up frogs everywhere. I wish I would've gotten her name but I am sure I can ask Astoria or the other two and they'd tell me.

After a few minutes I arrived back into my dorm room, still wet but not soaked. I open the door to find Pansy laying in her bed looking at the ceiling.

"Oh hello" she said as she sat up to look at me

"Evening Miss Parkinson"

"Are you alright? You seem a little.. well.. uhm wet" she says trying to figure out what happened.

"Your best friends girlfriend or whatever she is, is to blame for that, I do not understand what I did to her, maybe it's the fact I took a breath near him but she freaked"

Pansy took a minute to process it trying to figure out who I was talking about.

"If she had red hair her names Rosey, classic I know, but yes she's a complete bitch."

I smiled knowing at least pansy had a sense of humor and was able to shit talk. I walk into the wardrobe and quickly change into new clothes.

"Yes she had very red hair, I didn't even do anything with Theodore, he gave me a cigarette."

I say as I throw my hands up in defense. She laughs and stands up, she walks over to my bed and sits on it with me.

"Rosy is over protective, they're not even dating. Theo doesn't do dating honestly, he just kind of hooks up and then it's over with."

"Well I don't know him that well but I can tell he's a fuck boy, he whispered something into her ear that made her even more pissed at me."

"Yeah that's Theo, he's my best friend of course but he can be a jerk I am well aware"

I smile at her and tell her thank you for talking to me about it.

"I'll talk to Theo and see if I can help, it's your first day you don't deserve to be attacked already. Next time she gives you a hard time let me know"

I smiled at her. I appreciated how nice she was to me, she reminded me of my sister. Her and Ashley shared the same sense of humor, that and the fact that they were both there for me, despite the fact me and Pansy just met. Pansy walked back over to her bed and turned off the light on her way over. I flip over to my side and pray that once I start classes everything will get better.
