Ginny's POV

We made our way up the spiral staircase, none of us talking. Harry walked briskly ahead, his shoulders tensed.

"It'll be okay," I whispered catching up to him.

"I hope so, Gin," he said squeezing my hand. "I mean, if there's been a disappearance, or death, I would...." But I cut him off, knowing full well where this was going.

"You know, I'll always be here for you, right?"

"Totally. If you weren't with me, I don't know what I'd do,"he smiled weakly.

Harry knocked twice on the door and entered. Professor McGonagall sat there with that stern face of hers twisted in a frown. The seat opposite her was occupied by someone with blonde hair. As we came in, the figure got up hastily. The seat next to her was also occupied by someone, though I couldn't tell anything about their appearance.

"Ah, yes," said Professor McGonagall. "Good, you're here."

"Good evening, Profesdor," Hermione smiled nervously.

"Good evening," she smiled."You might be wondering why I have called you at this hour." Harry nodded."Well, I wanted to introduce you to two of our new students. They have never been to a wizarding school but were homeschooled so I imagined you all could make them feel welcome? Since you are, what people would say, the golden trio."

"We'd be glad , professor," Hermione said, smiling sweetly.

"This is Abby Triscot," she said pointing to the blonde girl who smiled shyly. "And this is Vanessa Parker." The other girl hastily got up from her chair and smiled nervously at us. She had auburn hair and hazel eyes.

"Now," Professor McGonagall turned to the two girls."You will both be sorted."

"Umm, professor?" Vanessa began timidly. "Suppose we want to be in a certain house but the sorting hat does not put us there?"

"I assure you, Miss Parker, the hat will take your feelings into account."

"Okay," she replied, letting McGonagall place the hat over her head.

"You all," said Professor McGonagall."Please wait outside and when we're done, could you please escort these two girls to their dormitories?"

"Sure," I replied as we followed Harry out the door.

Vanessa and Abby soon came out, both looking happy.

"So what house did you get in?" I asked, attempting to start up a conversation with them.

"Gryffindor!" they both said excitedly.

"I'm so excited to be in the same house as you, Hermione!" Abby grinned and Hermione smiled back at her.

"Thanks! Gryffindor's very....fun," Hermione seemed unsure of what she was saying.

"Oh My Gosh!" Vanessa gasped a while later. We were standing outside the fat lady right then. "I can't believe I'm actually meeting Harry Potter!!" And she swung herself at Harry. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, or slap her for that matter. Harry seemed taken aback but politely hugged Vanessa back and patted her back awkwardly.

"Nice to meet you, Vanessa." Harry said pulling away and Vanessa seemed flustered.

"So this is the common-room?" Vanessa asked excitedly.

"Yeah," I told her. "The best place to sit is either that place by the fire on those couched or the window seat."

"So, Harry," Vanessa said, grinning."I heard you're the Quiditch captain? McGonagall told me." Was it just me or did she just ignore me? Hmm let's try again,

"Yeah, I am," said Harry. "Seeker."

"Ooh, can I try out for chaser?"

"Uh," Harry began. "I've picked the team already."

Vanessa looked disappointed. "But I guess you could try out for the replacement spot. If you get that, you'll be playing if any player gets injured."

"So when are the tryouts?" Vanessa asked.

"I can't hold try outs again!" Harry chuckled. "But you can show Ginny how you play, and if she chooses you, then you'll get the spot. She's an amazing player. I don't think anyone could best her!"

My heart swelled at his words and a warmth spread through me.

"We could meet up tomorrow if you want?" I offered with a smile.

"Oh so where are the dorms?" Vanessa more or less squealed. Yep! She'd ignored me again. I could not figure out why. I mean, she just met me for the love of God!

We quickly bade goodnight to the boys and headed to our dorm. Vanessa and Abby were both in the same dorm as us. Lavender was snoring way in her bed and we still had two unoccupied beds by the door. No one else had bern assigned our dorm so they was vacant.

I got into my bed and pulled the curtains around me, looking forward to some sleep. But as soon as my head hit the pillow, my curtains were being drawn apart. Whoever it was hadn't even bothering asking if I was awake.

With a scowl plastered on my face, I turned to face whoever had deprived me of my relaxation time, and saw that it was Vanessa. She was wearing a baby pink dressing gown. It was silk and it flapped around her knees. Her hair was open and she almost resembled a princess with that smile of hers. Almost.

"You're Ginny, right?" she asked yawning.

I tried not to ball my hands into fists. Sure she was new but that did not give her the right to first act all shy and flattering, telling Harry how much she loved Quiditch when actually she seemed like a true girly-girl!, completely ignore me, and then to show up at my bedside at night wearing a silk Princess gown, and pretend she didn't even know my name! But I held my anger.

"Yeah, I am Ginny,"

"Oh," she said, brushing a strand of hair way from her face. "Well, I was wondering, would you mind swapping beds with me for tonight? That nerdy friend of yours snores like a pig!" Okay, if she was talking about Hermione, she had something bad coming.

"You know," I said getting out of my warm bed by the window."That's my best friend you just insulted."

"Oh, well she does snore!" she retorted."And I meant that in a friendly way! Gosh!" But something in her tone did not seem friendly to me.

"I'm only swapping tonight," I said , yawning. "Tomorrow, I want my bed back."
