loisa: I love her sass! Find out about Harry now :)
Chapter 10-
Dahlia jumped up from the bench from where she was sitting at and ran to Harry, meeting him halfway, she flung herself at him, hugging him tightly. "You did it!" She squealed above the roaring cheering that came from the Gryffindor. "I knew it!"
Her cousin pulled from her, slightly embarrassed. "He wanted to sort me into Slytherin." Harry said weakly.
Dahlia laughed. "Ha, same here!"
"We got Harry! We got Harry!" The Weasley Twins were cheering.
Dahlia let Harry walk ahead to his awaiting fans who surrounded him in a warm immense welcome. The poor boy was not used to all that attention, but he would have to get used to it. He still wore the biggest smile.
When their house settled down, and the Sorting Hat was allowed to continue. Gryffindor had two more additions after Harry. Dean Thomas, and lastly,Ron (who Dahlia heard Harry wishing under his breath to be sorted as a Gryffindor like they had been). Ron looked just as happy as Harry had with his sorting. Harry clapped just as loud as Ron's brothers as he sat down next to Harry.
The Dumbledore man, who was the headmaster of Hogwarts, made a short welcome, ending it with four words that Dahlia was sure he had made up. She covered her mouth to keep from bursting out in laughter.
"Yes, he is a bit of a nut, but he's brilliant!" Ron's brother, Percy, said, as everyone clapped and cheered at the man.
The food plates filled then. Harry and Dahlia, along with many of the first years, gaped at the abundance of perfectly prepared food.
Harry seemed to be enjoying himself with the feast, eating a bit of everything (besides the flavoured humbugs).
Dahlia served herself some of the roasted chicken, roasted potatoes, and carrots, adding a good amount of gravy over it all. She loved gravy. It wasn't all too healthy though, but she didn't care tonight, because tonight was special. Besides that, she hadn't eaten lunch, and she was starving- or so she felt like it.
Ron was eating two chicken drumsticks at the same time, alternating between the two. Dahlia quickly looked away, his food eating habits reminded her of Dudley's. While her brother was making adjustments to his life, he still ate like a starving pig.
Many students at the table shrieked as the Gryffindor House Ghost, Sir Nicholas, showed the first years why he was nicknamed 'Nearly Headless Nick'.
Dessert came soon after. Dudley would be in seventh heaven here! Pies, custards, cakes, ice cream, pastries, and so much more!
Dahlia decided on a bowl of ice cream. She had a terrible time in picking a flavour, as there were over twenty of them, but she finally settled on cherry.
The first year boys then went into discussion on how pure their blood was. Most everyone seemed to be half blood wizard. Muggleborns were rare. Purebloods were even rarer.
Dahlia couldn't help over hearing Hermione Granger talking to Percy non stop about the school's lessons. She knew a lot about what the school would teach the beginners. She appeared especially interested in Transfigurations, which also had intrigued Dahlia, but it sounded really hard.
"Ouch!" Harry yelped.
Dahlia looked at her cousin who had his hand to his forehead, looking off toward the teacher's table. She followed his gaze, but wasn't sure what he was looking at.
"What is it?" Percy asked.
"N-nothing." Harry answered quickly.
Dahlia frowned. Something was bothering him. She'll have to ask him later, in a moment of privacy. She watched Harry glance off and on toward the teachers table, as he silently ate his dessert.
The food and plates finally disappeared, and that's when Dumbledore made some special announcements and warnings.
Harry laughed when he heard that the third floor was off limits unless you wanted to die a horrible death. Dahlia looked at him strangely.
"He's joking, right?"
"He didn't sound like it..." Dahlia said slowly.
"I do think he is serious." Percy said, eyeing the headmaster with a frown.
"Time for our song!" Dumbledore cried out. He sent out a ribbon from his wand that formed into the lyrics of a song. "Everyone pick your favorite tune!"
Dahlia couldn't help but to cringe at the racket the Headmaster called music. Everyone was singing to a different tune. She mouthed the words, pretending to sing. She didn't sing though. Ever.
She giggled at the twins, who were the last to finished. They dramatically sung to a sad tune, with goofy looks on the faces as Dumbledore waved his wand in conduction to their words.
It was time to go up to their dorms now. The Gryffindors were escorted by Percy who lead them through a section of the Hogwarts' castle. It was a long tiring walk through many doorways, including those that were hidden. Dahlia found herself hoping that she wouldn't get lost here. She had a terrible sense in direction.
She bumped into Harry then, having been too busy trying the memorize her way back down to the Great Hall and not noticing that he had stopped along with the rest of the first years. "Sorry." She mumbled, distractedly. Was that two left turns from the second floor stair landing? Or three?
Someone howled in pain next to her, bringing her from her thoughts. Neville was wimpering and rubbing his head. Dahlia heard a man cackling off behind her and a rattle of what sounded like metal.
"You'll have to watch out for him. He's a nuisance, only the Bloody Baron can control him. He doesn't even listen to us Prefects!" Percy said, resuming his tour, and finally stopping at a portrait of a fat woman in a frilly dress who asked for a password.
Caput Draconis. Caput Draconis. Caput Draconis. Dahlia said over and over in her head to memorize the password Percy had supplied. If she had her notepad with her, she would have written this down. Hopefully, she could remember it.
Dahlia followed her housemates into a large, round cozy room with lots of chairs. The Gryffindor Common Room. She said goodnight to Harry as the boys and girls were then split up when Percy showed them to their separate staircases that lead to their dormitories.
A girl wearing a badge with a P on it like Percy had, greeted the six first year girls after they had climbed up the flight of stairs to a landing. She had moist cherry red lips, brown eyes, and black hair that was pulled back into a bun. "My name is Audrey. If you need any help at all, let me know. I'll show you to your dorms now." She walked to a door that had a sign with the words, 'FIRST YEARS DORM #1'. "Since we have an extra student this year, there are two rooms for the first years. We usually only have four or five to a dorm room." She then conjured a clipboard right there on the spot. After a moment, she read off four names, announcing the girls that were assigned to the first dorm room.
The girls disappeared into their dorm, Dahlia, along with Hermione Granger, followed Audrey to the dorm room next door it. 'FIRST YEARS DORM #2'
"This room is much smaller, but with only two of you, that shouldn't matter much at all." Audrey opened the door, gesturing them inside. She then reminded the two girls where her own dorm was, although it was unnecessary since she had just told their peers just under a minute ago.
"Thanks." Dahlia said, following Hermione into the room that was just a bit bigger than hers at home.
A bed sat on each side of the room, with thick crimson red curtains. Dahlia's bed was on the left side, as her trunk was placed at the end of it.
"Well, it certainly is elegant enough." Hermione commented walking to her trunk and opening it up. "But that is to be expected. Everything in Hogwarts is gracefully stylish." She pulled out a night shirt. Dahlia quickly turned away as she suddenly learned that the girl was going to change her clothes right in front of her. "Aren't you going to get ready for bed also?" Hermione asked. "We best get to bed early. Our lessons start tomorrow, we should be well rested for them."
"Yeah." Dahlia agreed.
"I'm Hermione, by the way, Hermione Granger. In case you missed Professor McGonagall's calling my name."
"No. I remember your name." Dahlia told her. "I'm Dahlia Dursley."
"Well, I know that! As I was paying attention to everything." She said proudly, with a snobbish tone.
Dahlia let the girl ramble on as she changed into her own sleeping clothing; concealed safely inside her curtains which were pulled tightly together to keep from being watched. When she was through, Dahlia neatly folded her robes and other clothing, before setting it on the cupboard next to her bed.
"I was able to light my wand up pretty easily." Hermione was saying at a quick speed. "Lumos is a very simple spell. I am working on the lock and unlock spells now. I haven't quite understood the Transfiguration spells thoroughly though, my match turns silver, but that is about it. Professor McGonagall should correct me on that soon enough- What on Earth are you doing?!" The girl suddenly demanded, noticing that Dahlia had removed her shoes only to put a different pair on.
Dahlia settled herself into bed, pulling the quilt up to her neck in comfort.
"Aren't you going to take off your shoes?!" Hermione probed for an answer.
Dahlia smirked, amused by the girl's shock in seeing something so strange. "No..." Dahlia said slowly.
"Well, why not? You can't sleep with your shoes on!" Hermione scolded. "Your feet need to breathe fresh air, you know."
"I can't sleep unless I have shoes on." Dahlia informed her simply, closing her eyes, hoping the girl would take the hint that she just wanted to go to sleep now.
"You can so! What is stopping you?"
"It is... just a thing I do. Surely you have a weird quirk of your own?"
The girl was actually silent for a moment. Dahlia hadn't thought it was possible. "I do not believe that I do."
"Congratulations on being a bit on the normal side then." Dahlia said dryly.
