Nico at Hogwarts (continued)

16 - Will and Nico (finally) meet their housemates

A/N:

Guys. I am actually doing this. I can definitely meet my promise on the river Styx. Anyways... into the chapter! 

Edit: Ha, edited again

Edit: Anddd.... guess what. I edited it again.

Will:

I was walking to the Gryffindor common rooms with Nico, after dinner. We had spent the time before in the library, completing our homework. Hermione had offered to help us, so we had finished it all. We had just met Hazel's new Slytherin friends, and I knew Nico was a bit doubtful but I thought they were good people. 

We were going to meet our housemates! I knew Hermione, Harry, Ron, and I had recently been introduced to Ginny, but I didn't know anyone else. We finally made it to the Fat Lady portrait, after getting lost a couple times. I didn't know the password, but Nico knew, being a teacher and all.

"Homuncule," he said. I chuckled. It was Latin, meaning midget. I could see Nico smiling to himself as he said it too.

I hopped through the portrait hole, and I was met with a warm, cozy common room, decorated with hearths and tapestries. A gold and red banner was strung across the room, and a vast array of couches littered the floor. Students sat scattered on couches and chairs, doing homework, or just hanging out with friends.

"Wow," I breathed. Nico didn't say anything, but I knew he was just as in awe of the room as I was. I saw a door marked 'Fifth years boys' so using common sense, I deducted that we were meant to be in there.

"Hello," someone said. "I take that you are the people Dumbledore informed me would join us." I turned to see a tall Asian looking girl, with glossy black hair. A prefect badge glinted on her uniform. "I'm Mina Zhang, Gryffindor prefect. I'm in the year above you. I'm meant to be showing you around."

"What a coincidence! We have a friend who's last name is Zhang," I replied.

"Well it is a common last name," she responded. "Anyways, you're Will, and you're Nico, right? I remembered from your sortings. And I've had a class with you, Nico."

We entered the dorm to see another warm looking room, this time decorated with more browns and muted reds. A large fireplace was nestled in the corner, and personal photos and posters covered the walls. The room itself was round, like it was built in a tower, which it probably was. It seemed to give off a relaxing vibe. "Is it just me, or does this room seem to induce relaxation?" I asked. Mina chuckled. "If you think this is comfortable, just visit the Hufflepuff dorms," she replied.

There were seven beds arranged in a sort of semicircle around the room. Five of those beds were occupied, and the two that were empty were at the end of the formation, next to each other.

"Those are your beds. Feel free to dump all your stuff. Bathrooms are down the hall, but be careful, because a couple Slytherins put permanent sticking charms on the toilet seats. Scratch that, you're best off using the bathrooms a bit further down the hall. Every day, at 5:00 to 8:00 some of the older kids run study sessions. Come to me if you have any questions, or if you just want to talk. My dorm is a couple doors down," Mina said.

A/N:

I don't think that there would only be the girls' dorms and the boys' dorms, because that can't fit all the years. That's why there are so many.

We nodded in reply, and Mina left. Soon the others in our dorm began to arrive. First, Harry and Ron, who just passed us by, then Seamus and Dean, who went to one of their beds and closed the curtains (They were just sleeping!) and finally Neville. Neville was the only one really who paid us any attention.

"Hi, Nico. Hi Will. I'm assuming you're here because you want to get to know the other Gryffindors better? I'll introduce you." So off we went, following the son of Ceres into the common area. 

First, we went by a group of fourth year boys, who introduced themselves as Callum Jan, Mark Lewis and Torell Meridan. The one called Mark was apparently helping the other two with their divination homework because 'that stupid dream journal wont be useful anyways' as Torell said. 

Finally, they passed Mina's friend group, consisting of a fifth year girl named Alexis, a sixth year boy called Lionel, a fourth year girl named Zara, and a couple other people that I had forgotten.

We were introduced to Hermione's secondary friendship circle (other than Harry and Ron), a couple of Neville's friends and a whole lot more. I could see Nico beginning to get tired of all this social interaction, so we went back to our dorm. I pulled the curtains around my four-poster, and quickly changed into my PJs. Nico did the same. 

A/N:

Holy Hera I actually managed to finish this! And 15 minutes before 24 hours was up too! I know I said I would write three, but this was all I could manage. These take longer that I expect to write.

I know this was kinda short, but I hope that the two chapters makes up for it. Next up... Reyna! She needs some Ravenclaw friends, after all.
