[ Laura's POV ]

I had just sat down at the Gryffindor table, when the Slitherin table erupted into cheers; I glanced up at the dark haired girl that was walking towards the emerald clad students, and noticed the distinct lack of emotion on her face. I was brought back to reality as our table shouted and whooped. A girl that I recognised from the train caught my eye and smiled at me, I think her name was Kate? I was still holding out on LaFontine being sorted into Gryffindor, she was a girl I shared a carriage with on the train here, and she was hilarious.

“Hey, I’m Kate, I think I saw you on the train? Its so cool being in Gryffindor, my parents said it was the best house to be in, and my dad was in Hufflepuff! Which house were your parents in?” she extended a hand and looked right into my eyes

“Uh, yeah, its great. Um, my parents didn’t come to Hogwarts, the went to Durmstrang”I stuttered in reply, while staring at the ground and hoping she would take the hint. I caught her draw back her hand slowly

“Oh… Well that’s cool, at least they’re wizards, not that I have any problems with muggles, or muggleborns…” she quietened off at the end of the sentence, obviously realising I didn’t want to talk. I looked around for Lafontine and spotted her sitting next to her friend, the one that didn’t talk to me at all on the train ride, sat on the Hufflepuff table. They looked happy enough, unlike the slytherin girl, I might add, who stared disdainfully at the floor, ignoring anyone who tried to make conversation with her.

After we had stuffed ourselves with meat, salad, and every other food imaginable, we followed our head boys and girls up to our dormitories. I had been roomed with Kate, some girls I didn’t recognise, and all of whom names I have forgotten and a really pretty girl, Danny. I was in a bed between Danny and one of the random girls, who was friends with Danny, and so spent a lot of my time sorting out my trunk and simultaneously avoiding Kate. Luckily enough it seemed as though she was doing the same, so that problem was solved for now.

“Uh… hey? I’m Danny, you seemed a bit quiet so I just wanted to check if you’re ok?” a shy voice poked out from behind the curtain and as I turned around, a face appeared. She had thick framed glasses, balanced on a thin, but buttoned nose, and she had a stronger jawline than any guy that I knew. She smiled at me from behind her auburn hair and raised one eyebrow at me in question.

“Oh, me? I’m fine, just… haven’t had chance to make a lot of friends yet.” That was a lie and I knew she could tell.

“Well, then let me be your first. I’m Danny and I love all of this” she gestured to the room. “I’m muggleborn you see, so I had never heard of any of this, and it’s just so cool”

“Hi, Danny, I’m Laura and I’m pretty used to all of this” I replied with a giggle “I’ve been told all about this from my older brother, but you’re right it is cool.”

My bed creaked from her weight and I shuffled over so she could lay in the middle, “do you have any siblings?” I tentatively asked

“Nope, just me and my mum. I feel kinda bad for leaving her but my aunt, who I found out was a witch, is staying over there to help mum out.” She beamed at me whilst twiddling her thumbs, something that, apparently, people actually do.

“That’s cool, it must be so quiet in your house” the only instance of a quiet house with my family is when everyone is out.

“Is your house always noisy then?” Danny asked me

“Yeah, usually” I replied “ The only time it was silent when everyone was there was when we found out my mum had left us” I looked away, scared that I might break down in front of her, not a good first impression.

“Oh, I’m so sorry. And I know it doesn’t change anything but I truly am” she placed her hand on my shoulder and gently pulled me into a hug. An awkward hug, as we were both lay on the bed, but it still helped. My brother, Kirsche had told me not to use our mum as a sob story, turns out its pretty unusual for a witch or wizard to leave their family, and I agreed, I didn’t want people to feel sorry for me.

“Do you mind if we keep this just between us, I don’t want people feeling sorry for me” I asked Danny’s shoulder.

“Sure, no problem Laura” she rested her head on mine, and squeezed my shoulders before letting go and bidding me goodnight.
