My cat loves my guinea pigs... she thinks they're her kittens!
And with that, the feast ended. They heard a shout overhead; 'First Year Gryffindors! Over here please!' Lindsey looked over to see an older boy calling for them. This boy had messy blond hair and a care-free attitude. But, this, most possibly, was put on. When he thought all the First Years were there he introduced himself. 'Right then, well, hi! My name's Dennis Creevey, and I'm a Fourth Year Gryffindor having to do this as both of the Prefects aren't here. Now, if you'll follow me, I'll help you to the Common Room! Now, off we go!' he said, projecting his voice. The First Years followed him, Lindsey, Holly and Ben at the front. 'What's wrong with him?' Lindsey asked Holly.
'I'm not sure!' Holly said, looking worried. They carried on walking until they got to the stairs. 'Wait, here...' Dennis told them. He stepped onto the staircases and they started moving. The First Years gasped. 'Are you OK, Dennis?' Lindsey shouted out.
'Of course, Miss...?'
'Jenkins, Lindsey Jenkins!' Lindsey shouted up.
'Well, Lindsey, all of the staircases-woah!-move!' Dennis called as the stairs moved back. 'You see?'
'Wow! Well, that's pretty cool!' Lindsey told him as the First Years ran up. Lindsey followed Dennis up. 'See, I don't know about any of this, I'm a Muggleborn...' Lindsey explained.
'Ah! What a coincidence, so am I!' Dennis grinned. Then his face fell. 'My brother was too...' Dennis said sadly.
'Was? What's wrong?' Lindsey asked, confused.
'My brother would have left Hogwarts by now... H-He died, you see. In the battle. He snuck back and fought.' Dennis looked away, no doubt in tears.
'Oh, Dennis, I'm so sorry!' Lindsey frowned, hugging Dennis, even though she had only just met him. It seemed like the right thing to do! 'He-He just didn't get t-to say goodbye!' Dennis sobbed.
'It's OK, it's OK...' Lindsey said, patting his back.
'Ew! Dennis is hugging some girl!' a First Year shouted. Dennis jumped back and wiped his eyes. 'DON'T BE MEAN!' Lindsey shouted as she felt her body heat up. Suddenly a statue by the boy set on fire.
