Rosabella Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

IX: Classes and Flying

Back to Rosabella's PoV

I wake up in an unfamiliar room because someone is calling my name. I open my eyes and see Laila standing above me.

"Finally. You're a heavy sleeper. You've missed all of your classes. It's time for dinner." Laila says.

"What?!? Why didn't you wake me sooner?" I almost scream. In a panic, I jump out of bed to realize all the other girls are still sleeping. "You tricked me."

"You should have seen your face." Laila gasps between laughs, "So funny."

"Befriend Hufflepuffs they said, they're always the nicest people at Hogwarts they said." I groan.

"Well get dressed so Ced can show you around before breakfast and classes. Also, there will be some people wanting to talk to you ay breakfast. Just wear your uniform from yesterday. Twinky cleaned our uniforms last night."

I do as she says and leave her in the dorm to meet up with the fourth year boy. I find him watering some of the plants in the common room with a few others.

"Good morning Bells. How'd you sleep?" Ced greets with a hug.

"It was good until Laila woke me up saying I missed all my classes," I reply with a yawn.

"She likes to do that to people. Well, shall we start our tour Madame?" The last part is said in a posh voice. Ced offers his arm.

"We shall my good sir," I reply in the same voice and take his arm. We share a laugh as we head out of the Hufflepuff rooms.

"So you already know where the kitchens are, so I'll show you the way to the Slytherin dungeon and your classes. How does that sound?"

"Good. Too bad they don't make maps like the one Ruby made of Fudge manor for me."

"Ruby?"

"My house elf. She's so sweet, caring, kind, and always knows what I need or want before I do. She makes my favourite foods and lets me work in the kitchen with her."

"I feel like I should meet this Ruby, she sounds amazing. This is the portrait to the Slytherin rooms. You need the password to enter though."

"Good to know." We start to walk up many flights of stairs. "Ruby truly is amazing. I always knew I was a witch, but growing up in the muggle world means I was behind on everything in the wizarding world. She helped me catch up."

We continue to talk as Cedric shows me around the castle.

"And here is our final destination. The Great Hall. You can sit with us at the Hufflepuff table for now. Come on before the other three eat all the food. Trust me they will." Cedric laughs. Entering the room, I see Draco with the Slytherins, Harry with the Gryffindors, and Laila, Sarah, and Grayson with the Hufflepuffs.

"Hey, Ced. I need to talk to someone real quick. I'll meet you at the table in a few. Save me some food." I say and march over to the Gryffindor table.

I take the empty seat next to Harry. He jumped when I sit down. I make my hair silver with green tips and my eyes silver as well.

"Hello, dear brother of mine," I say, my voice laced with venom.

"Rosabella? What are you doing here? I thought you were going to some boarding school for talented students." Harry says.

"Because your sister who can change her appearance can't possibly be lying to the muggles about her new school, nor be a witch when you yourself are a wizard."

"Right. Please don't be mad. I know you wanted to go to a different school than me because everyone compares how different we are for being twins. There are other sets of twins here, so maybe we can slip under the radar."
