"Now Sage, let's begin the tour of the wonderful Hogwarts."

The girls took their time walking through the halls and exploring every inch. Aspen showed Sage many secret passageways that led to almost anything and everything. She also gave Sage a brief introduction to the friends, teachers, rules of houses, and a warning to Sage. 

She was a half-blood, the most hated blood status in Aspen's opinion. But Sage expected this. Her experience hadn't been any better at Beauxbatons. After getting yelled at and chased by Filch, the girls were now just outside of the gryffindor tower.

"You're going to want to remember that password." Aspen starts to explain to Sage while walking into the common room, seeing Marlene and Peter engaging in a game of wizards chess.

Marlene's head turned to the door though her eyes were still on the game. But her eyes light up when she sees a familiar face. "Oh, Aspen, where did you go during-" Marlene starts until she notices Sage, "And who might you be?"

"I'm Sage, aspens old Beauxbatons friend. You're Marlene im guessing?" Sage asks with a friendly smile.

She stands and walks to the two. "Ah yes, the great Sage." Marlene says and now greets Sage with a hug, "Aspen has talked much about you. But what are you doing here at hogwarts?"

"Marls you remember the letter i got this morning? It was her telling me that she's newly enrolled here." Aspen explains with a cheeky smile.

"Oh the one you were freaking out about," Peter connects the dots and walks up to the girls, "Im Peter."

"Hi peter." Sage greets him with a hug.

The four make themselves comfortable on the couch and talk for the rest of free period. Sage got along great with Peter and was scary similar to Marlene. Aspen still wasnt able to wrap her head around the fact her best friend would be with her everyday. She was nervous for the rest of the group to meet her person, scared that they wouldnt like Sage or get along with her. 

Marlene was a nice girl but had problems saying what was on her mind. Maybe she liked Sage and maybe she didn't. Peter was friendly to everyone so he wasn't reliable. But Sirius and Mary, they were blunt. And James was obvious. Remus and Lily were the same: they would outright say if they weren't getting along with someone.

"Holy shit, this is way bigger than beauxbatons' dining hall." Sage gasped when they enter the great hall.

Marlene furrowed her brows, looking at the new girl in shock. "Beauxbatons really is that crappy of a school, huh?" Marlene asked as they walk to the gryffindor table.

"You have no idea." Sage and Aspen said in sync.

"Oi, Pen." Sirius said while looking at sage.

She smiled cheekily while putting her arm around Sage's shoulder. "Guys this is Sage, my old friend from Beauxbatons. Sage this is Sirius, Remus, Lily, Mary, and James." Aspen anxiously said while introducing her new friends to her old.

"Hello." Sage smiled and sat down next to Marlene and Aspen.

"So are you the reason Aspen was freaking out about her letter this morning?" Lily asked as she set her book down.

"That's what I've been told. The letter would've gotten to Pen sooner if Bri didn't hog our damn owl." Sage rolls her eyes and the group raises their eyebrows.

"Sages twin sister," Aspen starts while looking at the hufflepuff table and points to Brianna, "Right there."

The rest of the group looks in awe. "So, is she in our year, yeah?" James asks without taking his eyes of the girl. Aspen looks down.
