Luna's Sister

Chapter 7: Common Room

POV: Lillian Lovegood

I can't believe it! How? How is it that I get Hufflepuff? Why couldn't I just be with Luna? But the sorting ceremony left my mind after I saw what was for dinner. I looked over to the other table to see Luna enjoying some mashed potatoes. After the feast, our prefect leads us to our common room.

"Cabbage dracones is the password, don't forget it," he said in a firm voice. The door opened to reveal a magnificent common room. The walls were golden yellow with plants in the circler windows. There was a fire place in the center of the room. Since we were in the Hogwarts basement it was kind of dark but there were windows and lights everywhere.

"Welcome to the Hufflepuff common room," the prefect said. "The girl's dorm is up and to your right, the boys same to your left. You will find that all your belongings have already been brought up."

I decided to go and see who I would be sharing a dorm with. I headed up the stairs to the right and opened the door. I looked inside and saw there were three girls all in the room. When I walked into the dorm, I felt warm and comforted. There was also a fire burning in the center of the room.

Surprisingly, I wasn't nervous, I was actually excited to meet new people. To be completely honest I kind of needed a break from watching over Luna and making sure she doesn't get into trouble. Also, she is kind of weird sometimes, I thought to myself.

"Hi, my name is Lillian but I like to go by Lily. I'm super excited to get to know you guys throughout the school year," I said in a friendly and welcoming voice as I sat down on the bed. All the girls looked up at me. They seemed nice; I think.

"Hi, I'm Leah. This is Brooke, and Kathryn." Leah says pointing to the two girls on the left. Brooke and Kathryn both smiled. Leah, Brooke, and Kathryn were all super friendly. I have a good feeling about our friendship, I thought, with a grin on my face.

I think of Leah as the leader. She is trustworthy, an outgoing person and is very loyal.

Brooke is a kind person. She can be a bit sassy sometimes. She will stick with you. She is also outgoing.

Kathryn is the quiet one out of all of us. She is kind, and caring, with an introverted personality. She will speak up if need be, but other than that she only talks with people she trusts.

That night we talked about what it was like being sorted into Hufflepuff. We talked about our families and how it was getting our letter, going to Diagon alley, getting our wands.

"So, do you guys have siblings?" I asked "I have a sister Luna. She is in Ravenclaw."

"Yeah, I have a sister. She graduated from Hogwarts a year ago," Leah says.

"I don't have siblings," Brooke said. "Although if I did, I would want a brother because I think I'm more of a tom-boy."

"I have a sister. She is a Ravenclaw and starting her 3rd year," Kathryn mumbled.

After we talked and had some pumpkin juice which was nasty, I brushed my teeth and got into my pj's.

"Goodnight, see you guys in the morning," I say yawning as my eyes start to doze off.
