She smiled and layed down on her bed. "Yeah." Libriana said with a smile.

Selena heard Sophie tell Alice that she'd miss her parents. Selena felt something heavy on her heart, like a thousand bricks weighing down on it. 'She had parents who cared about her...' Selena thought to herself. She heard herself telling Sophie, "Owl your parents, let them know you arrived safely," Selena said, "so... they don't worry about you... and over the time, you'll learn to love this place as a second home," Selena added, "It's just a phase," Selena smiled, it was a bit forced seeing as she didn't know what else to say, what else to do... when had she ever missed her parents? 'Always...' but they never cared... and she wondered if they really loved her...


"Tired?" Selena asked with a half smile.

"Well, Shady, see your trunk anywhere?" Selena asked her as she looked around for Shady's luggage.

"A little." She yawned. "Ok maybe I am a lot."

When Shady stepped in to the room, an instant feel of home hit her like a ton of soft, loving, bricks. Green curtains lined the top of the beds, and her junk sat at the foot.
I could of brought them 'op... she grumbled so quietly that she wasn't even shout if it was alone or silent.

"Oy! this place is great!" she yelled, and that was when she was certain that everyone could here her.

Alice smiled, "I'm a bit shy myself too." She giggled. She didn't have to worry about losing friends because she hardly had any, but now she had a feeling that would change.

"I miss them every day that passes." Alice said, softly. "The good thing is that you'll see yours again." She could feel tears gathering in her eyes.

"Wel;, maybe you should go to sleep now, seeing as tomorrow we need to be up before breakfast and meet in the Dueling Arena," Selena smiled.


"Um... maybe not so loud?" Selena giggled. "Well, that's your bed," Selena smiled. "Mine is the one down there," Selena pointed to the bed two away with a few embroidered green pillows she had placed there and a book on it. "Good night, I'll see you early tomorrow morning, before breakfast. Don't forget there's a meeting in the Dueling Arena," Selena reminded her before smiling. "Sweet dreams," Selena added, letting Shady settle in.

"You get over being shy," Selena smiled. She saw tears in Alice's eyes. She pulled out a handkerchief, "here," she said as she gave it to Alice. "Are you alright?" Selena asked with concern.

"I will." Sophrina said. "How about your parents?" She said with curiousity.

Sophrina thought that it was a bit strange the way she said it. "What do you mean by that, aren't you going to visit them during the holidays?" She saw Alice's watery eyes and stepped closer to her.

"My parents?" Selena said with shock. Thinking about them made her wish she was normal. "They're wonderful... but... they're never really there. They shower me with gifts so that I forgive them, and they tell me that they love me..." Selena said softly, "but... sometimes I wished they'd care more..." Selena sighed. "When I was going to Hogwarts, they didn't bring me to the platform or anything, my mother was shopping in Milan and sent packages as sorry gifts, my father was too wrapped up in work and couldn't leave, my stepfather was in the middle of a legal case he couldn't step away from... so Mixie, my house elf, sent me here..." Selena said sadly. "You're lucky you have parents that care," Selena smiled, "my parents never notice when I'm gone..."

Shady thanked Selena as she went off to speak to another girl, then, with out warning, fell asleep with her uniform on...

Alice accepted the handkerchief and stared at both girls infront of her. Did they really care about her feelings? She was never this open to people she just met, but she knew that they deserved an answer. "Uh, well...my parents...they passed away several years ago." Alice could feel a tear slipping over, but quickly brushed it off. She didn't like anyone to see her cry.

Selena sighed softly as the girl zonked out. The dungeons were drafty. She tugged the blanket so that it covered Shady and smiled.


Selena's eyes widened with surprise. She hugged Alice. "There, there," she murmured as she rubbed Alice's back. "Don't cry," Selena frowned. "It's alright, they're always there, they're always going to be watching over you," Selena promised, "they're always there to make sure you're alright," Selena said comfortingly. Selena walked over to her trunk for a moment ,and pulled out a fresh box of unopened, untouched gourmet chocolates. "Chocolate always makes me feel better, it makes almost everyone feel better," Selena smiled, "here, have some," Selena said as she held the box out.

Sophrina was shocked to hear this from Selena. What parent wouldn't care about their child? This made her angry, every parent should care about their kid. "..." She was speechless. Sophie remembered how her parents would always wake her up in the morning with a smile on their faces and the way they told her they loved her. "Don't worry, one day they'll realize what an amazing daughter they have." Sophie smiled at her.

Sophrina gasped. "I'm so sorry." She could feel tears in her eyes too. Alice is a strong person. She thought. If it was her, Sophie would be a mess without them. She couldn't help it and ran over to Alice and gave her a hug.

"Thanks... but they've taught me enough... they cared for me once... but once my parents divorced... they didn't really care anymore... it was like I was the only thing keeping them together..." Selena sighed. She took a bite of the chocolate. "Want one?" Selena asked Sophrina,

Alice was beyond surprised by the reaction of her two new roomates. They actually cared. "Thanks." She said, gratefully to both girls. She accepted a chocolate and bit down on it. "It actually works." She smiled, tears no longer in her eyes.

"Of course it does," Selena smirked, "Chocolate makes the world go round!" Selena exclaimed. "Here, have the rest, I have more boxes of those anyways... besides... my parents keep sending it so I won't get mad at them," Selena shrugged. "It's better to have parents who love you and aren't here than to have parents who don't care about you and is here," Selena said honestly.

Sophrina took a chocolate, she loved chocolate. She smiled as she bit, tasting the sugary substance. "Thank you, I needed it." she giggled.

"No problem," Selena smiled, "I seem to have an unlimited supply anyways," Selena shrugged.

"Wow, really thank you." Alice smiled sincerely at Selena. Alice was definately never going to forget this day. Girls were being nice to her and actually cared about her feelings. "Thanks for everything...really." She smiled.

Dianna got down the steps and turned right to where the girls dorm were. She was pretty excited today and couldn't even believe she was going to attend Hogwarts already! Finding her trunk and owl in front of a four poster bed draped in green and silver curtains she felt at home. Of course she would miss her parents but this is her time to make new friends and at least explore new things...

Kiera looked at her bags. God. Would she ever learn to pack lighter. Her trunks were heavy for someone as short as her. Five years at hogwarts never began to seem to be montone. Each day something interesting, even Kiera, a well known snob found this school to let her open up a bit. Kiera always liked the first day of school, it was so interesting to see al the new people, even if Kiera was a bit of a loner. But she never let people know it.

even though she was a fifth year Kiera never had to many friends, all eitheir boys or from Hufflepuff, or both, so now she had no one. It didnt stop her from knowing she was wonderful, but still she felt those tinges of insecurity biteing at her stomach. Maybe this year it'd be different, and she looked around her dorm room seeing who was around holding the soft green curtians of her bed as she did so.

Camille entered still with her ipod on pockets and a background in his head thru the sound produced by the earphones in her ear. feeling full and really sleepy; she proceeded to the bathroom and just gargled her mouthwash.then returned to her dormitory. she wanted to greet everyone, make friends and have a little chit chat but her body is not that participative at the moment.so the moment she arrived inside her dormitory trying not to get any attention; she then located her bed. it was far easy than expected because of her property`s labels: the initials `C and R`. sometimes it`s funny when you think of it but, it is convenient most of the time.sitting in her bed`s side; she then removed her snickers , without changing her clothes to pajamas or what,she then buried her head in her pillow. with closed eyes she grabbed her wand and wiggled it a little, and then with a blink of an eye, her all of her curtains were closed. sighting she allowed herthought to drift away as her favorite song played in her ipod, she didn`t want to turn it off.because she cannot sleep without it, slowly dozing off.



You're the sky that I fell through and I remember the view
whenever I'm holding you the sun hung from a string
Looking down on the world as it warms over everything................

"Hey, that's what friends are for, right?" Selena smiled. "It's no problem." Selena said sincerely.

Trixie strutted into the girls dormitory in the Slytherin Common Room. Green wasn't here favourite colour, but she looked good in it so she didn't exactly care. Looking around at the other students, mostly younger ones, she rolled her eyes and huffed. How she wished she was back in that Pale Blue uniform of Beauxbatons school. What exactly was there to do around here? Just sit in the common room and talk? Ergh how boring.

Etoile half ran into the room. her eyes instantly focused on her truck, and then on a cosy looking four poster. She jumped up into the room, face down. Ahh. That was so nice she could feel the strain of the long day disappearing.
She lifted her head slightly up so she could at least breath.
" I'm afraid if I fall asleep I might never wake up." She said in a low voice and turned around and sat up. She noticed Selena handing chocolate to another girl.
"Hey Sel!" She shouted. there were many first years in there!
"Do you have some more of that?" she asked eagerly. Sure, she had eaten her own weight in chocolate pudding down at the feast. But there was, indeed ; Always room for more chocolate.

Aysel had slipped into the Girls Dormitory rather unnoticed as she watched the other girls introduce themselves to each other. Instead of doing the same, she decided to sit at a desk and began penning a letter to her younger brother, Kieran. Every now and then, she glanced up to observe the others and watched as one girl gave another some chocolate.
