Reality Bites Harry Potter

Gingerpuffs Unite!

A/N: Sam (Shay) here :D Just an FYI Gingerpuff is the name of my other account so if you like 1D/5SOS come check me out :)

Hogwarts was SO PRETTY! "I think I'm gonna like it here" I whisper to Pyper and she smiles. "I think we both will" she whispers back as we all meet with Professor McGonagall. "Welcome, students, it is my honor to welcome you to Hogwarts. Momentarily you will be sorted into one of the 4 houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Your house is your equivalent of family while you stay here. Good deeds and acts of bravery will be rewarded with house points and any mischief or negativity will be met with a loss of points. This year we have the pleasure of sorting in a second year as well as the first years and she will be sorted first. If you will follow me, we can get started." We all follow her up the staircase into the dining hall. Pyper's name is called first and she goes and sits on the stool. The hat is put on her head and it seems to think for a minute before finally yelling "SLYTHERIN!" I hear cheers from the Slytherin table and I smile, clapping for her. I see a couple of ginger girls that both smile at me. "I like your braids" one whispers and I smile big at her. "Thanks" I whisper back. "Hannah Abbott" I hear and one of them goes to the stool. "HUFFLEPUFF!" the hat yells and I hear cheering before she goes to find her seat. A bunch of names are called that I don't really pay attention to. Me and the other girl stick close together, both slightly nervous but excited. "Where do you want to go?" she asks and I smile. "Hufflepuff" I whisper and she beams. "Me too" she says as I hear McGonogall call Susan Bones. She squeezes my hand before heading to the stool. The hat barely touches her head before yelling "HUFFLEPUFF!" I cheer for her and then stand and wait my turn. I get more nervous as time goes on. I hope I get Hufflepuff so I can stay close to Hannah and Susan. The time finally comes and my name is called. I walk to the stool and sit down. "Harper... interesting name for an interesting set of girls. There's something in here, I can't quite pinpoint what it is. Very dark, very scary, but so loving and hopeful. You seem drawn to Hufflepuff though... Very well. HUFFLEPUFF!" I hear lots of cheering as I get up and go to my new house table. I hug my new friends and I hear Fred and George giggle. "Look guys! It's the Gingerpuffs!" Fred teases and I smile. "I kinda like it" I say softly and Hannah nods. "Me too. It's nice already having a group" she says softly. We start eating after everyone is sorted and I relax, feeling safe now that I had a close group. I can't help looking over at Pyper though as she eats. She isn't talking to anyone and she looks kind of sad. I see a boy walking by headed for Slytherin. "Please try and cheer up my sister" I ask him softly and he nods, smiling softly. He heads over to her and starts talking. I see her relax slightly and even smile a bit. I smile, tuning back in to Hannah and Susan's conversation. "I hope the 3 of us get our own room" Susan whispers and I nod. We look around and smile. "We are the only female first years so we should have our own dorm" Hannah says and I smile bigger. Our Prefect leads us to the dorms where our stuff has already been dropped off. I am happy to see that Hannah was right. We had a room big enough for 5 but only 3 beds are made up. "Cool. We have extra beds" Hannah says, plopping down on one of the unmade beds. I plop down next to her, giggling as she hugs me. Susan giggles. "You two are weird" she mumbles and I make a face at her. "You know you love us" I say and she smiles, plopping down next to us. "I do love you. But you are still weird" she sighs. I smile. "You sound like my sister" I tease. I look worried. "Do you think she's ok?" I ask softly and Susan smiles at me. "I think she'll be fine. They can't ALL be bad, your sister is there" she says softly. I sigh. "But what if all of her roommates hate her? What if they bonded like we are and then she's the newbie and nobody talks to her and she hates her house and and and" "BREATHE" Hannah yells and I stop talking, looking at her panicked. "Your sister is FINE! She is a big girl, I promise she will be ok until you see her in the morning." I look up at her. "I get to see her in the morning?" I ask softly and she smiles fondly at me. "Yes, you dork. Breakfast is free to sit wherever, all meals are except for the feasts." I sigh, smiling. "This should be a lot easier then" I giggle, and Susan sighs. "Hannah, you're officially in charge of Shayla's breakdown recovery. I feel like that'll happen a lot" she mumbles. I make a face, snuggling closer to Hannah. "You're my favorite" I tease and she giggles. I yawn and we all decide to head to bed. I wake up the next morning and quickly head down to breakfast. I see Pyper and I run over. "Sissy!" I yell, hugging her and she rolls her eyes. "Clingy, much?" she says, but she hugs me back. "How was your first night as a snake?" I ask and she smiles. "It was fantastic! Everyone is basically already in groups so I get left alone which works for me" she says and I nod. "Anti-social butterfly" I tease and she smiles. "You know it" she says and then the other gingerpuffs show up. "You move really fast" Hannah says, trying to catch her breath. I giggle and we all sit and eat.
