Chapter 2

I sat with Neville, Seamus, Dean, Hermione, Ron and Ginny at our Gryffindor table as we saw Harry run in with a bloody nose.

"Harry are you alright?" Ginny asked, getting paper towel to clean up the blood.

"Yeah fine." He said as the new first years walked through the large oak doors. Among the crowd, I saw my blonde, freckle covered little brother Alex in the front of the group of kids. He waved at me and I waved back. I was really nervous for him, mainly because I didn't want him to get into with Hufflepuff or Slytherin. I mean, Hufflepuff is great and all, but I never really thought of him as a Hufflepuff type of person, and no known wizard has ever been good coming from Slytherin. He was really intelligent, so he could easily get into Ravenclaw, but he's like me, so he might get Gryffindor. Professor MacGonagall called up the first student.

"Alexander Emerson." She said clearly and my heart started beating faster. He shuffled up and sat on the stool. She placed the Sorting Hat on his head, but since his head was tiny, so it slid down over his face. I giggled and Seamus leaned over the table.

"He sure is your brother." He said, making me remember that that had happened to me my first year.

"Gryffindor, please." I whispered to myself, crossing my fingers under the table.

"Gryffindor!" The hat bellowed and MacGonagall took the hat off. Alex jumped down and ran up to me.

"I'm in Gryffindor sis!" He said and ran back to the end of the table.

"Your little brother's so adorable." Hermione said. "I wish he was my little brother."

"You can have him." I teased and the food appeared on our table. I dove in and took so much.

"I missed this the most." I said, shoving food in my mouth.

"More than me?" Dean asked. I looked at him and nodded, smiling. He laughed and we all ate our food.

After we finished, we scurried up the staircases to the common room, where we were greeted by the fat lady.

"Ah children I've missed you all!" She said and we gave her the password. She swung open and we walked in. Hermione, Ginny and I raced up the stairs to our dormitory and I jumped an landed on my four poster bed. I opened my bigger trunk and took out my stuff I brought from home this year. I brought posters, and music. Yes, I managed to crack the magic that disables muggle electronics from working in Hogwarts. I'm just that good. I took one of my posters, a poster with Green Day on it and put it on the back of the door that led to our dormitory.

"Can you not put your stupid muggle things all around our room?" Lavender asked with a really bitchy tone in her voice. I hated Lavender, with a burning passion. She burnt part of my shirt on fire during charms in second year and she meant to. I turned to face her, and she was standing with her hands on her hips.

"Do you have a problem with me?" I said loudly. "Cause if you do, tell me." She pursed her lips and spoke.

"Oh, aside from the fact that you're a slut that flirts with every guy in our school, including that loser Neville Longbottom, nothing." She said, smirking widely.

"Oh?" I said, walking closer to her. She stepped back until she was up against the wall. No one insulted Neville as long as I was around. "If I really wanted to, I could jinx you so you had purple hair and elf ears, but I'm not that low. So I'll just do this." I wound up and swung at her. She ducked and my hand went through the wall. I pulled it out and she ran out, with Padma and Pavarti scurrying behind her.

"Jenni, that was amazing!" Ginny said, running to me. I shook my hand cause it actually hurt from going through the drywall. Hermione flicked her wand and said a spell and the wall was fixed.

"I really wish she hadn't ducked." I said, looking at them as they smiled at me.

"Come on, let's go get your hand cleaned up." Hermione said and we walked downstairs into the common room. The boys were sitting around the fire when we entered. Neville turned around and saw my hand and jumped over the couch.

(A/N: Insert music from picture thingy now)

"Jenni, are you alright?" He asked frantically, turning my hand in his hands. My face went bright red.

"Yeah, just got angry." I said, looking down.

"Why?" He whispered, coming close to my height, cause he was taller than me.

"Lavender." I whispered. "Again." Before I knew it, I was hugging him tightly around his waist.

"It's okay, you're okay." He said. We looked over and saw everyone looking at us. We backed away from each other and my face went deep red.

(A/N (again): End music)
"I'm, uh, gonna go clean up." I said, stuttering. I scurried out o the portrait hole and to the girls bathroom. Hermione and Ginny came in shortly after and cleaned up my hand.

We walked back to the dormitory and when we got there, Pavarti, Padma, and Lavender were all packing up their things in their trunks.

"What are you doing?" We asked them.

"Moving to a new room. You're getting two new girls." Pavarti said. Thy picked up their belongings and vanished down the stairs.

"I wonder who we're getting." Ginny asked. As she said it, two girls came in with their bags.

"Hi, I'm Max and this is Darren. We're your new roommates." The brown haired one said. The blonde one waved and unpacked her trunk. "Yes, we know we have boy names but stil. Our technical names are Maxine and Darrenell."

"Hi, I'm Jenni, that's Hermione and Ginny." I said and yawned. We helped the girls unpack and looked at the clock. It read 9:36.

"Is it bad that I'm tired?" Max said, rubbing her eyes. Ginny laughed.

"No, but I'm just bored." I said.

"Well I don't know about you, but I'm going to bed." Hermione stated when she walked out of the bathroom in her pyjamas. We all changed into our night clothes and almost everyone crawled into bed. I had to get a shower so I took the longest, but when I got out of the bathroom, in a pair of Neville's pyjama pants and a black tank top (I wore them once when we had a sleepover in third year god), my hair fixed and everything, all the girls were out cold. Max was snoring, and Farren was kicking in her sleep. It was only 10 o'clock so I grabbed the end of my shirt, pulled it, and put some candy in it. I snuck my way downstairs and entered the common room. No one else was there, except for Neville, Seamus and Dean. I had a fudge fly in my mouth when I came down and they all started snickering madly at me. Neville smiled and I sat down with them.

"Hello my friends of the opposite gender." I said to them, eating an ice mice.

"Hey, I think Ron and Harry are still up," Seamus began.

"D-Do you m-maybe want to c-come up t-to our r-room?" Neville asked.

"Sure!" I said and we all quietly ran up the stairs to their dormitory, my sweets still in my shirt.
