Alice Lupin was a Gryffindor! She couldn't be happier or feel like she fit any place better. She wished there were better colors.. But hey, she had always been proud of her red hair.

She'd write home as soon as she could and tell everyone the moment she could. But for now it was time for her to meet her new house! The redhead plopped down at the table and looked at all the other Gryffindors.. Merlin.. they were so much older.. some of them looked so cool!

Hopefully they would be her friends. She didn't wanna be like dumb old Maxwell and not have any friends.

Every time a newcomer sat down she watched. Her internal monologue was all 'Hello! Be my friend!?'
