The Emeralds & The Sorcerers Stone

9. Welcome 2022

It was 8 am when Aliyah and Rose got woken up by a loud knock on the door, followed by Pansy barging in with her suitcases and frozen face, shivering.
- A:" Pans you're back!"she said running up to hug her but stopped once she felt her cold touch
- R:"am I imagining things or are you blue?"
- P:"I need a blanket and a cup of tea. Now."
- A:"Altight but why are you so mad? Did the boys say something?"
- R:" here-" she handed a cup of tea and a blanket to Pansy
- P:"Thanks Rosie. And yes, the boys said something."
- R:"Oo did Matty say anything about me?"
- P:"They wouldn't stop talking about the ball and I think Theo has a crush on me but im not one hundred procent sure yet."
- A:"Ugh i don't want to see Malfoy"
- R:"I want to see Matty! is he in the common room?"
- P:"Yeah, how about we ALL go, that includes you too Aly"
- A:"Ugh fine..."
The hirls left the room and headed to where their group usually sat, the couches next to the fireplace.
- R:"Matty!"
- M:"Rosie! I've missed you!"he said hugging her
- A:"Hey Enzo, how are you?"she asked sitting down on the couch
- E:"Im fine, how was Christmas at Hogwarts? Like what did you two do all alone here?"
- A:"We mostly wondered around the castle but i think we finally got rid of Astoria!"she excitedly said while smiling
- E:"but i thought Draco-"
- A:"Oh right, i forgot..."her smile faded
- T:" Isn't anyone going to talk to me?"
- D:"Or me?
- A:"Sorry Theo I-"
- A.G:"DRAYKEYWAYKEY IS THAT YOU!?"
- D:"Hi Asty..."
- A:"Asty?" she whispered to Pansy "sounds more like what you'd name a puppy or hamster"
The group whatched in shock as Astoria hugged Draco and sat down next to him.
- A.G:"Im SOOOO happy Snape moved... her from MY room."
- A:"Im sooo happy i finally get to share a room with my best friends"
- P:"We can finally show Rosie our awsome sleepovers"
Suddenly the door to the Slytherin common room opened.
- H:" Uhm hi... is Aly here?"
- A:"Im here Harry, what's up?"
- H:"You said you'd sit with us for breakfast"
- A:" OH SHOOT I FORGOT SORRYY, GIVE ME A MINUITE-"she got up and ran to her room to get changed into her uniform
- H:" so... this is the slytherin common room... cool."
- D:"So Pottah, is Aly your little girlfriend?"he smirked
- H:"I-"
- A:"Lets go!" she grabbed Harrys arm and dragged him out of the common room

While Aliyah sat woth the Gryffindors for breakfast, her friends sat where they all usually ate.
- D:" so... are Aly and Pottah a thing now or...?
- R:" Don't know."she blurted
- D:"you definitely do Rose, just spill" he insisted whilst raching for some fruit
- M:"Dude she said she doesn't know, let her eat"
- P:"Why are you so interested anyway?" she asked smirkingly
- D:"Interested? Me? Pft i was just...making conversation...yeah..."
- E:" Do you guys wanna go hang out in the courtyard after breakfast?"
- R:" Me and Matty are going to look for a book at the library"
- P:" Can't, I have potions"
- T:"me too"
- D:"Ive got transfiguration"
- E:" Fine then. Ill ask Aly."

Aliyah goes to the courtyard with Enzo, Pansy and Theo go to potions class, Draco goes to transfiguration and Rose and Mattheo go to the library in search of the book.
