Lost Over Time

I wake up to the sound of my alarm ringing through the room. "Alison!? You up yet?" I shout out to my roommate. "Yeah, don't worry I only just got up" I hear her shout from the bathroom. I get up and trudge over to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Once in the bathroom I spot Alison's bird's nest like every morning. "Hair?" I ask her picking up the hair brush. "Just a brush today, thanks" she answers giving me a small smile in the mirror.

I nod letting her know that I heard her loud and clear before I start brushing her hair. "Oh! Your mom wrote you again. The letter's on the desk like always." She says as I finish brushing her hair. "Thanks" I say as she leaves the bathroom to get changed for classes. I quickly brush my teeth and hair before I too leave the bathroom to get dressed.

After I finish getting dressed I head over to the desk. The desk is right below a large window that, sadly, doesn't give us a view of outside but a view into the Black Lake. I sit at the desk and start my reply to my mom. We don't talk that often to eachother anymore because of school and work but we try our best.

"Wanna come with to send this off?" I ask Alison as I grab my robes and the newly sealed letter. "Sure, then we can go for breakfast" she replies closing her potions book. We slowly make our way down stairs to the common room. Once there we spot Draco lounging on the couch. "Hey Draco, we're headed to the owlary if you want to join us?" I shout to him as we get closer. "Sure" he replies getting up and following us out of the common room.

As we head up to the owlary, I decide that I want to ask Alison about Snape and whether or not Draco knows. I lean towards her so I can whisper in her ear. "Does Draco know about Snape?" I ask her as quietly as possible. She looks at me for a bit before answering with a question of her own, "you mean what I told you last night?" "Yeah" I confirm. "Then yes he does....thank you for asking though" she smiles.

"Okay that's good...can I ask you a few questions, it's just that I'm curious" I ask her with a small smile. "How about later tonight? I don't really want to talk about it where anyone could here me" she asks back to which I give a nod "yeah, that's fine"

⭐Short Time Skip⭐

We've just arrived in the Great hall, and taken our seats at the end near the professor's table. "So what lessons have we got today?" I ask to no one in particular. I hear Draco next to me say "double potions, something, something and then Astronomy later tonight" to which I give a little giggle. It's the thought that counts. "Thanks Draco" "the first something is Defence against the dark arts and the second something is herbology" Alison finishes not looking up.

"Thank you, Alison" I grab some waffles and start eating. Soon enough we're joined by Chantal and Damian. "Morning, how was it last night?" Damian asks with a laugh as he places some eggs and bacon on his plate. We all give him a collectively confused look for him to elaborate, which he does "I mean when you all had to go to the dungeons" "oh, Harley and I didn't go to the dungeon until after Dumbledore's announcement" Alison answers still not moving her eyes from her book. "well lucky you" Draco says sarcastically.

⭐Short time skip⭐

Once double potions had ended everyone quickly filed out the classroom, eager to get away from the potions master. "what do we have next?" Draco asks as he joins the group just outside the classroom. Unsurprisingly Alison is quick to answer, "Defence against the dark arts" "should we just go to the classroom or to the courtyard?" Chantal asks almost skipping around. "courtyard, Quirille freaks me out" answer quickly, stearing the little group towards the courtyard "that mumbling mess?" Draco laughs "Yes, that mumbling mess" I glare at him as he scoffs a little. As we reach the courtyard our path is quickly blocked by the weasley twins. Sadly Alison didn't spot them thanks to her nose in her book and walked right into them.

"Mind if we borrow her?" one says "just for a bit?" the other finishes and within a flash they've hooked their arms around Alison and are halfway down the hall. "sure?" I say.

⭐Short time skip⭐

"so what did the weasley twins want with you?" I ask Alison as I collect my stuff to head out for lunch. "nothing important" she dismisses quickly. We all walk to the great Hall for lunch. I can feel someone's eyes on me as we walk so I look around and spot Harry staring at me, but once he sees that I've spotted him he looks away. As our little group enters the great hall we pass by the weasley twins. They give her big toothy grins as she only glares. I lean over to her as we walk towards our seats and asks "wanna talk about it tonight?" to which she gives me a simple nod.

⭐Surprise, another time skip⭐

After a long day of classes and random little events we're all sat in the great Hall ready to tuck into our meal for the night and socialise with our friends. Dumbledore rises from his seat and heads towards the podium for an announcement. "students, today I have an important announcement. We have a transfer student joining us. She is to be sorted now as to not cause a fuss." as Dumbledore finishes talking he goes back to his seat as a stool and the sorting hat appear at the front of the great hall. "Do you think it's a boy or a girl?" Chantal asks practically bouncing in her seat. "Don't know, don't care" Alison says opening a book. "honestly you're no fun" Damian says turning to look at the doors as they start to open.

McGonagall walks through the doors of the great hall with a girl hot on her tail. The girl doesn't even dare to look around yet she seems to hold herself as though she doesn't Need to look around herself. It could be that she's drop dead gorgeous. I look around our group to see Chantal had the same idea I did. Looking over at Damian causes me to start laughing. "Damian, pick up your jaw. You're gonna catch flys" Chantal laughs as she shuts his mouth for him. They reach the front of the hall and McGonagall calls out her name "Giselle Courtier" "Hey Damian, she even has a pretty name" I laugh. Giselle sits on the stool and McGonagall places the hat on her head. Within a few minutes the hat finally shouts "SLYTHERIN!" to which the slytherin table claps for our new arrival.

She walks over to our table and takes a seat provided to her by Chantal. "let the feast begin" Dumbledore shouts as mountain of food appear like every other meal. As our group starts eating I take it upon myself to introduce myself and everyone else around me to Giselle. "hi, I'm Harley" I smile at her just as she looks up. "hello, umm I'm Giselle" she says a little awkwardly "even a pretty voice" I hear Damian whisper, this causes Chantal and I to start laughing "pardon?" she asks turning to Damian who just turns red. "oh my merlin, Damian you dork" Chantal laughs, reaching behind Giselle to punch his arm.

"that's Damian, that's Chantal. They're both Gryffindor but I grew up with them so they're okay. This is Alison, this is Draco" I introduce everyone. "umm it's nice to meet you all" Giselle smiles.
