Identical

Here We Go

Hi guys! This is my first story that I'm writing on here! I've been reading so many stories on here and I decided I wanted to do one myself. So if I misspell something or my grammar is awful, please just let me know and I will do my best to fix it! With that being said, enjoy my story. *Warning* This is will be quite spicy!! 🌶

************************************************

My name is Florence Grey, and as my parents and professors would say, I have a proclivity for being "promiscuous".  My parents thought sending me to Beaux Batons would turn me into the elegant lady they always hoped I be. I obviously had other ideas. I don't quite understand why I got expelled for sneaking out, maybe it was because I was meeting a boy? Or maybe because the grounds keeper found us half naked in the garden. That doesn't matter anymore, it's in the past. Now here I am at Hogwarts, my last ditch effort to prove that I can be respectable. If I fail this time, I will be sent to a strict reform school away from everyone.

I stand before the massive doors of the Great Hall. Through the door, I can hear the chatter of Hogwarts students. Professor McGonagall told me to wait here until they were ready for me. I don't want them to be ready for me. What will everyone think of the girl who's transferring with school already commenced.

One of the huge doors cracks enough for McGonagall to slip through, she gives me a pleasant smile. "Alright dear, I'm not sure if you  are familiar with how we do things here," she says with a pause, "but once you enter the hall, you will walk straight to the front and be sorted into your house." I assume she could see the confusion on my face as she continued with, "The houses are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. I will place the sorting hat upon your head, and it will tell us all where you belong." "Okay," I say nervously, "does this mean you're ready for me now?" She once again gives me a pleasant smile and nods her head. With her hands she gestures for me to walk through and enter the Great Hall.

Okay Florence, you got this. Just be good. Don't repeat Beaux Batons...unless the opportunity presents itself.  Oh Merlin, why am I like this. Big breath, now just enter the Great Hall and act like a lady.

I put my hands on the wooden door and make my way through. Suddenly, I could feel hundreds of eyes on me and hear the murmurs of all the students. I hold my head high and walk with poise like I've been taught for the past five years. Suddenly, I hear a booming voice coming from ahead of me, that must be Headmaster Dumbledore that my parents told me was kind enough to allow me to transfer. "Everyone please remain quiet as we welcome our new student from Beaux Batons. She's a sixth year, who will be sorted into one of your houses tonight." I finally make my way to the front and see a stool in the center. "Ms.Grey, would you please take a seat so that we can get you sorted and start dinner." I feel a lump grow in my throat, why am this nervous? I awkwardly turn around and sit slowly on the stool.

McGonagall steps towards me with a hideous brown hat in hand. She slowly places it on my head and before I know it, I hear words coming from it. "Oh, very interesting. Trained to be a lady, but not very lady like. Full of wit, maybe Ravenclaw? No, no, no, I see now, very cunning, ambitious. It must be - SLYTHERIN!!" Suddenly, the table to the right of me, full of students in green fill the room with applause. McGonagall removes the hat from my head and gives my tiny nudge, hinting for me to go sit at the table.

As soon as I find an empty spot at the table, I'm bombarded by a girl who looks to be my age. She's quite pretty, with ashy brown hair and blue eyes. "Hi! I'm Ava Lore, and you are?" Startled by her friendliness, I pause before saying "Oh hi, I'm Florence Grey." "Well Florence, I do hope we get along, seeing as you will be staying in my dorm for the rest of the year!" So she seems nice, maybe my first year won't be so bad. We all eat our dinner, I try to stay to myself not talking much, which with Ava talking my ear off, I wouldn't be able to get a word out anyways.

When we're done eating, the food suddenly vanishes from the long table. Once again Dumbledore addresses us, "Students, as you know I told you last week I would have an announcement for you, and the time has now come for it. Hogwarts has been chosen to host the Tri-Wizard Tournament, we will have guests from two different schools, so I expect you all to be on your best behavior. They will all be arriving tomorrow, along with more information about the tournament." The whole room burst with excited talk from all the students as we exited the Great Hall to head to our common rooms. Ava appears at my side all giddy, "Guess what?! I just heard that the Ravenclaws are throwing a party tonight in their common room to celebrate the Tri-Wizard tournament! We should go, it's Friday and we don't have class tomorrow!" A party? That's just the kind of thing I need to stay away from. I mean, I could go for a little bit, meet some people. Dad always said to network my way through life.

Ava shows me to our dorm, rushing me to get changed. I rummaged through my trunk and pull out my favorite black mini dress that hugs in all the right places. I take a long look at myself in the mirror, I look really good, but I can't repeat my past actions. I reach into my trunk once more and pull out a simple white jumper and layer it over my dress. I pull my hair into a messy bun. "Woah, you look hot." Ava says coming up behind me, "Are you ready to go?" I give her a small nod and follow her out of the dorm.

We make it to the portrait of the Ravenclaw common room. I can make out faint music coming from inside. Ava gives me a big grin and knocks on the portrait three times. I hold my breath, as it slowly comes open. Florence. Here we go. Do not mess this up.
