I ran my right hand through my long brown hair. I brushed it out of my face as i climbed the stairs to the girls' dormitories. I wished my hair would curl like it did at home, but my mom in her excitement straightened my hair with a flat iron which i wasn't even permitted to bring. The normal waviness that i always had was gone. It was annoying because that was one of the few aspects of me that i thought was kinda beautiful.
I had much too big a nose which made my eyes seem puny even hidden behind glasses, my lips were cracked and i wasn't tall enough to stand out. So only the golden stripes on my tie stood out in a crowd of people i normally would have been in the center of.
A couple of giggling girls skipped down the steps and one of them bumped into my left shoulder. I instinctively grabbed my arm and i bit down on my lip to suppress a yelp. I had broken my arm a week before i came to school, and i didn't stand out enough for anyone to notice the sling and care.
I tried to remember the Brielle in the muggle world; a popular geek with a flair for acting. Only if this was an audition i would have a script, and here i didn't know what to say.

Melanie almost laughed aloud at her question. "No." she replied, a hint of amusement in her tone. The fact that someone thought she was an authority figure or... someone that might give a person away to an authority figure merely for hoping up and down on a bed tickled her, for some reason. "I don't see why you would be." She shrugged. Jumping on a bed wasn't a crime, as far as she knew.

"What's your name?" she asked the stranger curiously, looking at her with a thoughtful expression on her face. "I don't think I've seen you around before." Melanie commented offhandedly, still wondering if she was a new student or not.

She finally unpacked all her stuff and was kinda shocked to see that she really really had alot alot of stuff. She squeezed some of them under her bed. She wondered if Lacey was done... She thought that this girl was somehow... Well, different.

She had brought some books which she haven't read and planned to read and also some pairs of shoes. Lacey loved shoes. she had about ten pairs of flats with different colours. All of the same kind.
She occasionally looked at Eva to check how she was doing. She hoped Eva didn't fidn her unfriendly, because well, Lacey was friendly. It's just a habit of hers to not let people touch her things... Oh well.

"Wow. That sure is alot of shoes." Eva said. Come to think of it, Lacey does look fashionable. Well, Eva only brought 5 pairs of shoes and more clothes than shoes. She felt awkward after awhile and decided to talk to her again. "So... How about telling me more about yourself?"

Originally Posted by Joey Parachute

Lacey laughed. "Well, im a half blood, and well... I like shoes. back home, I had like, a large closet of shoes... well, actually I think you can tell I like them. And I have a shelf of books too, they're another of my favourite," Lacey went as she placed a stack of books on the table, "My mum didn't like me reading because she wanted my brother to be the smart one. You know, that thing with the older generation and girls just staying home. but well, my father didn't care. but he was worried about the shoes thing though. said I'm wasting a lot of money. But hey, I do wear them and do keep them well... so, yeah. it's your turn to tell me about yourself now." Lacey finally finished unpacking.

Had lots of really close friends. I really hope to have more friends here." Eva smiled at her. She was happy to think of how life was before. But not it was all different. She, was awaiting a brand new life at Hogwarts.

Lacey had a lot of friends back home, but now, its like as if she just lost all her friends and came into a world full of strangers.. but well, you'll never know if there's a friendly soul out here in Hogwarts. "Hah, well, me too," Lacey bit her lip, "I do miss home."
Howeevr, looking on the bright side, she mgiht be able to make new friends too.
"Well, but we'll make new friends!" Lacey''s face lit up, "Like, I think we're friends now... right?"

Originally Posted by daydreamergirl

"Yup. Of course. I believe things will turn out just fine. Once lessons start, i think we will be able to make more new friends." She smiled and lay down on her bed, wondering what her parents were doing now. She sort of miss them.

"Ah, yea, hopefully," Lacey grinned and looked at Eva, "Hmm, maybe you'll even find yourself a boyfriend."

Eva laughed it off. "Well, maybe. But i many guys did not really like me in school last time.", Eva recalled. "Maybe you would also get one too", Eva smiled and laugh again.

"Whoa, why?" Lacey asked, "And I don't think so! think im kinda, well, too... amazing for them." Lacey winked and laughed. "Joke! well, but i dont know.. havent seen a good guy around."

Originally Posted by daydreamergirl

"I dont know. Maybe cause i'm a little fierce towards them?" Eva laughed. "I was just kidding. Well, i suppose there should be some good guys around here. Just that we havent seen one." Eva smiled. She wanted to make more friends of the opposite sex. She only had 1 friend of the opposite sex last time. She sighed.

She smiled to herself aand then realised she wasn't alone. "Oh, uh, hmm," She said, "I have a feeling you'll find a guy."
She smiled.

"You should try it." Mia told her with a firm nod of her head and a bright smile. There was nothing like bouncing up and down on one's bed, not that Mia had every really gotten the chance to do that kind of thing before. It was a bit hard to jump on a cot covered with feathers. They really weren't meant for jumping on as she had soon found out when it had collapsed on her sending duck feathers flying.

Moving towards the girl with an outstretched hand, she smiled again. "My name is Mia. And no you wouldn't have seen me before. I am new this year, heading into fourth year." She really liked it when she got to meet new people because everyone here was so nice. Well except for that one guy but wasn't a Hogwarts student anyway. "What's your name?"

Melanie asked, raising an eyebrow. She kinda wanted to, but... Melanie wondered if someone would mind her jumping on their bed. That was all.

She shook the girl's outstretched hand. "You can call me Melanie. Or any variation of it." Mel, Lanie, Melly... There were lots of nicknames that came with her first name. "Melanie Lockhart." She titled her head curiously, when Mia told her she'd only just started attending Hogwarts. So that was why she hadn't seen her before. "That's cool. Which school did you go to before Hogwarts?" Melanie asked. She paused for a moment, a thoughtful expression on her face. Then Melanie asked, "Or did you just not go to school until now?" Because she was pretty sure knew someone that did that.

"I like Hogwarts, but sometimes i feel like i'm lost and the other times i am lost," i let out a chuckle. 'You're right i should just go down to the nurses office," i poked at the injury. "So coming from your ancient fourth year mind, do you like hogwarts?"
