After the feast, everyone started going back to their common rooms. Melia didn't eat much given the circumstances. Draco was still holding a hand around her, supporting her. When they arrived in the common room, a smile appeared on her face. She had never thought that the Slytherin common room would look this good. It was nothing like in the films.
There were four sofas in the middle all facing towards the walls and two of those walls were fireplaces. In the middle of those four sofas were a table with chairs. To the left when you come into the room is a staircase that leads up to the prefect's bedrooms and the two staircases in the back of the room lead to the other bedrooms. Girls on the right and boys on the left. One thing that was the same as in the films was the big windows that showed out to the black lake.
"Who thought that our common room would bring a smile to your face?" Draco says from beside her.
"It's completely different from the films!"
"Really?" he smirks, "Better than in the films?"
"Yes, definitely!" He chuckles. Then suddenly someone grabs her arm and hauls her to the girls' bedrooms.
"Come on, I'll show you the dorms," Draco was about to object, but Pansy cut him off, "You'll get her back tomorrow morning." Before Melia herself is able to object, they're already in the dorm room. The dorm had four-poster beds in them and had green curtains. It was very different from the Gryffindor ones. Wow, green looks so much better than the red in the Gryffindor dorms.
"Everyone, this is Camellia,-" she flinches without noticing herself, but the other three does. "I'm sorry, Melia Withlock." Melia waves at them and mouths 'hey'.
"That girl over there is Millicent Bulstrode," she points to a girl with mid-length black hair. She was a little chubbier than the other girls. Then she points at a girl with long brown hair and beautiful green eyes."And that girl over there is Daphne Greengrass, and you already know me," Melia nods her head.
"You're mute, right?" she looks at Daphne with wide eyes. She was so happy that someone in her dorm could sign so that she didn't have to write everything down all the time. "My grandmother was deaf."
"Thank god someone here can sign. It's hard to rely on Draco all the time." Daphne chuckles at that. Pansy leaves Melia's side and sits down on her bed.
"Stop doing that, I feel like you're having secrets." Daphne puts her hands on her hips and turns around facing Pansy. "She's mute, not deaf." She just rolls her eyes and the two of them start arguing. While they do that, Melia walks over to the only empty bed and looks through her trunk and finds her pyjamas. A nightgown that goes right over the knee and a sweater to hide her mark. After dressing and brushing her teeth she goes over to her bed again.
The others were also starting to go to bed and about an hour later all four girls are in bed, but Melia is unable to sleep. After a while, she gives up. She takes out a pen and a small notebook before walking out of the room quietly, careful not to wake the others. She walks until she finds the painting she's looking for. When she tickled the pear, the painting opened and revealed the kitchen. Melia takes out her pen and notebook and starts writing a small note before giving it to one of the house-elves.
"Here you go, mistress," she nods gratefully at him and mouths a thank you. Then she walks to one of the chairs to drink her pumpkin juice. Melia is still not able to eat as normal but is able to eat a few meals. Mostly just drinking a lot of juice.
When she is done drinking, she tests out a spell she had been working on. She remembers from one of the marvel movies, dr Strange made Thor's beer refill itself. Melia took one of the pumpkin juice boxes and tried over and over again. After an hour she made it! Yes, finally! Her spell worked! She then put it in her dimensional pockets. That's another thing she got from the Marvel films, but her pockets are limited and can only fit about 5 things. She can make them appear in her hand without using a wand and make them go back in the pockets again. After everything that has happened lately, Melia has found joy in learning new spells. Both existing spells and non-existing spells. The only ones she has made so far are the pockets spell and the juice box that refills itself.
When the clock ticks 2 am, she walks back towards the common room and walks up to the dorm, trying not to wake the girls.
