Until the Very End (Co-writer - A_Gryffindork)

Chapter 2

(Trigger warning swearing)

Auroras' POV

I'm in complete and utter shock as Holden turns around and looks me in the eye. I panic and think to myself,

"Wait a minute... if  Holden likes me, Isabella must be furious at me right now."

As I cautiously look over at her I discover that I'm right. She looked like a volcano ready to explode.

"Maybe we should..er...stop playing this game."

I hear Katie say, while giving her brother Mason a deadly look. By the time all of us were finished with our awkward staring, we were at Hogsmeade station. Johanna motions us to leave as we do Isabella and I go to check on Ivy and James.  When we do they look like they already made friends which makes us super happy and relieved that we don't have to worry about them.  Once we get off the train I take in the familiar sight of the station and castle.  Once we get inside the castle Isabella, Katie, Gracie, Johanna, Caroline, and I go our separate ways to go to our houses.  It has always been fascinating to me that my best friend Isabella is a slytherin along with Johanna and Caroline.  My other best friend Gracie is a hufflepuff and Katie is a ravenclaw.  Once I get to the gryffindor common room I meet up with Hermione Granger and we walk up to the 4th year girls dormitory.  Once we get there we change into our robes and walk down to the great hall. I see Isabella, and Sam talking so I walk up to them.

"Hi guys are you settling in nicely?"I ask

"Yes, well atleast I am.  What about you Sam?" I ask

"Oh...um...I'm settling in fine." Sam says and Isabella bursts into laughter probably from the hesitation in his voice, as his face turns bright red.  So me and Isabella walk away

"It looks like someone has a crush!"Isabella says bursting into laughter.

"Leave him alone.  Wait, you think he has a crush on me?" I say trying not to laugh

Isabella's POV

"Yes, did you see the way he looked at you when you started talking to us Aurora? He totally has a thing for you!" I say teasing                                                                                                       

"Ok so he likes me so what it's not that big of a deal."She says and I know she is annoyed that I keep teasing her about this.  Once we get to the great hall I say

"I will see you later and if Ivys is in Gryffindor and James is in slytherin.  Our parents will be pissed." I say half joking.  Once I get to the slytherin table I sit next to Caroline, johanna, Dean, and Sam.

"Hi Sam."I say and I just roll my eyes at Dean.  Dean and I grew up together and we have always fought like siblings. I treat him as if he's my brother. 

"That's not a nice way to greet me!"He says while making his smirk that could make any girl swoon over him.  I do the first thing that comes to mind and stick my tongue out at him.  Right before we start fighting Caroline interrupts and says

"Izzy your brother is about to be sorted!"So I look over at him and give him a thumbs up and he nods.  I think to myself

"Please be slytherin please be slyther-" My thoughts are cut off when i hear what house he is sorted into

"Gryffindor!"I hear that stupid sorting hat say.  I feel so embarrassed and as I turn to everyone their mouths are wide open.  But it does work in my favor because Aurora will be able to make sure he is alright and we can't worry about that because Ivy is up next.  As she steps up to the stool Aurora and I stare at each other praying that she is either in Gryffindor or Slytherin, the reason why we hope this is because at the end of first year all of us made a pact that no matter what house our younger siblings were in if we were in that house we would make sure they are alright and take care of them.
