The Journey

Finding the Common Room

"I almost forgot to get my books off of Twila! I'll be right back!" She ran away as everyone began to get up going to their common rooms. Crap! I began looking for the outfits, following them. I didn't know what the password was. I started running up the steps as they shifted, I felt someone step on the side of my foot. I looked up and saw Malfoy grin for a second, the next it was the moving paintings catching my eye. Does everything this place move? I felt myself fall backwards as he reached out towards me. I flipped over looking at the ground as I was falling. I was confused more than anything. Before I knew it I was in someone's arms. Not that I would've been but, I didn't even have time to be scared.

"You alright?" He smiled. "Almost took a bad fall."

"Uhm. Yeah. Thanks." He had red hair. It was a little longer, and the freckles were just noticeable.

"You're the knew girl right?" He landed in front of my door. It was a little cubby hole in the wall. 

"Uhm yeah..."

"Name's Weasley. Fred to be exact."

"You're George's son?" I asked. He was named after his Father's twin brother.

"Yes. I know you were related to Severus but how?""Uhm. It doesn't matter." I said.

"Right. Well, in you go. Better change before classes."

"Right. Thank you."

"Oh, like your accent by the way. It sounds funny." He grinned as he flew off.

"Sorry bout that. Didn't mean to make you fall. Just, meant to give you a hard time is all." Malfoy said.

"It's whatever." I shrugged putting in my earbuds walking into the common room. Leaving him to stand there alone. The dreadful color yellow everywhere, and look at these horrid clothes. Hogwarts for sure needs a few updates. 

    I'll admit I do like the homey cabin in the woods look. Everything was just so old timey compared to what I'm used to. There were a few chairs and couches and lots of people were staring at me. None brave enough to talk to me yet. I could hear them asking each other questions.

"Did you hear? Malfoy is finally adopting a Hufflepuff? It's supposed to her." They were all looking at me.

"All because reached for her doesn't mean anything."

"Yeah but, it's Malfoy." 

I couldn't take it anymore. The staring, and I'm not an animal to adopt. I don't care how things work around here I'm not animal.
