'GRYFFINDOR!' Lindsey gasped with relief and ran down to Holly. 'Holly! We're in the same House!' Lindsey said, happily.
'I know! I wonder if Ben will be too?' Holly asked. Soon enough they heard;
'Smith, Ben!' and Ben walked to the Sorting hat. He sat down and placed it on his head. Barely a second later, they heard; 'GRYFFINDOR!' and the whole Hall laughed, as Ben had tripped down the stairs in a hurry to get to his new House Table. 'Hey, guys!' Ben said, still blushing from embarassment.
'Hey, Ben!' the girls chorused back at him. Later on, after their hands were red from clapping so much, they heard; 'Wollock, Nivera!' and the girl from the boat, the one who hated Muggleborns, walked up looking casual. The Sorting Hat was placed on her head and it shouted 'SLYTHERIN!' Nivera walked to the Slytherin Table, looking gleeful, also shooting Lindsey a dirty look on her way. 'Why does she hate me?' Lindsey asked, her bottom lip quivering. She had only been at Hogwarts for about an hour, and already someone hated her.
'Well, I've got an idea, I'll tell you later...' Holly whispered in Lindsey's ear.
'I don't know!' Ben said, not hearing Holly whispering.
'It can't be because I'm a Muggleborn, can it?' Lindsey asked quietly. 'It's not going to make any difference is it?'
'No way!' Ben and Holly said at the same time.
Lindsey sighed with relief. She had been worrying about this for a while. After the last few were Sorted, Professor McGonagall stood up to speak.

yay, a new trio to follow!

of course, Gryffindor and ooh why does she hate her???

Yes! I only just realised that!

Ooh, you shall find out! Have a few theories ready!

Ohh I love it Can't wait to read about the new trio. Will Ben be the overly smart one this time? And Nivera is an especially evil name.
Keep up the great work.

Okay, I'm here with no more to read. Is the rest of your story still stuck in that busted computer, Kira? -JO

Yup! Still. Stuck. My mum can't get it back, so basically I have to write it ALL over again! AND IT WAS REALLY GOOD AS WELL! Well, in my opinion!

I'VE GOT IT! I'm sooooooooooo sorry guys!

McGonagall cleared her throat and everyone shut up. 'Welcome back to Hogwarts! Unless you're a first year, welcome! We should have a peaceful year now that You-Know-Who is gone! But, this being Hogwarts, it probably won't!' Everyone laughed. 'Now, all students should remember that...' And she set off into a speech about rules and Filch's forbidden stuff. 'And that is all! Now, eat until you're full, then report to the Prefects!' McGonagall ended. The students gasped as the plated were soon filled with food. Lindsey grinned at Holly and Ben, and started to eat.

I'll be posting more later, I just need to type all of my 100 pages onto Word to make sure it's all spelt right and stuff!

YAY! My readers haven't given up on me! I is going to post more, you may all hit me if I don't...

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.

oooh yay! finally more and oh Dennis, i like him already...PAMS

I'm the first again. What do I get this time?! hahahaha! OOOOOOH! His brother was Collin Creevey wasn't it?

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Jo wasn't first! ^^ *gets a packet of Salt and Vinegar crisps!*

Yup! Ze one and only! MORE!

I don't like salt and vinegar crisps.

Well, that's good then! You didn't get it!

hahahaha yay!

Next bit!

'Oh my goodness!' Dennis cried as he non-verbally put it out. 'Sorry, about that, Lindsey. I didn't mean to put my troubles onto you...' Dennis told her.
'No worries, Dennis, I like helping people!' Lindsey smiled.
'Alright... well, lets carry on now!' Dennis said, holding out his arm. 'C'mon! We need to catch up!' Dennis grinned. Lindsey took his arm and they ran up to the others. Well, he's very charming! Lindsey thought. Dennis left her with Lindsey and Ben at the front and carried on. 'You're getting on with Dennis, aren't you!' Holly smirked.
Lindsey blushed. 'Shut up!'
'Ooh! You like him!' Holly raised her eyebrows.
'I do not!' Lindsey protested.
'Dennis and Lindsey sitting in a tree k-i-s-s'
'You finish that sentence and you'll regret it!' Lindsey warned.
'i-n-g!' Holly laughed. Then her bag set on fire. 'EEP!' Holly shrieked as she jumped back. Dennis turned around.
'Again!? Right, the teachers will probably be annoyed I taught you this spell...' Dennis told them. 'This is what you do; Aguamenti!' Dennis said, whilst pointing his wand at Holly's bag. The fire went out. Holly looked inside the bag and groaned. 'My books are ruined!'
'I can fix that!' Dennis said cheerfully. He flicked his wand and the books were back to normal.
'Thanks!' Holly beamed.
'No problemo!' Dennis laughed. Suddenly a little man flew above them all cackling. 'PEEVES! Did you do all of this!?' Dennis yelled.
'Nope! Wish I couuuuld!' Peeves sang. 'Twas her!' Peeves cackled, pointing at Lindsey. Everyone turned to stare at her.
'Me!?' Lindsey gaped.
'Her!?' Dennis shouted.
'You!' Peeves cackled.

First to post !!!

I missed following your story ..
So glad you're back on the track now..
And hey , Lindsey and Dennis !
I love that !
And Peeves is still there !! Yeeyy !!

^*gets a sock*

Yes, I'm very proud to be back on track! Thanks for the support!

Very good. A young romance is soon to follow?

Nope! I won't deny there that WILL be, but not until her like third or fourth year... Y'know? *beam* Aw, what the hay, I'm so nice, I'll post the next bit now! *beam*

The corridor had gone quiet. 'But, I don't know any spells!' Lindsey shouted.
'Don't ask Peevsie!' Peeves sang. 'You looked at the bag, and it burst into flameeeees!' Peeves cackled. Holly looked at Lindsey with a confused face.
'No, she couldn't have. We really don't know any spells. And, Lindsey DEFINITELY wouldn't know any as she's a Muggleborn.' Holly concluded. Peeves cackled and threw some rubbers at her. Holly caught them easily and threw them back. Peeves cackled and flew off. 'Well, miss?' Dennis asked, breaking the silence that had fallen over them.
'Barker.' Holly told him.
'Well, Miss Barker, that was some excellent catches! You could be a Seeker! Next year of course!' Dennis smiled. Holly beamed then Dennis carried on. 'Well, that was Peeves! Be careful of him, he's the school's Poltergeist!' Dennis warned. Then as he started walking, he motioned for Lindsey to come to him. 'Me?' she mouthed. Dennis nodded. Lindsey walked casually forward, trying to make no-one notice her.'Yes?' she asked, confused.
'Was that really you?' Dennis asked, raising an eyebrow. Lindsey opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again. 'Well, if it was you, that means you set the statue on fire as well.' Dennis said.
'I don't know. When the statue set on fire, that boy was teasing you and it set on fire. With Holly's bag, she was teasing me.' Lindsey blushed. 'But, I didn't do anything. I didn't use a wand or say anything. It must have been a coincidence.' Lindsey concluded.
'Riiiiiiight...' Dennis said, not totally believing her.
'I promise! You can even ask Holly! I didn't even have my wand out!' Lindsey said angrily.
'Alright, I believe you, but I wonder how it did happen?' Dennis said.
'Maybe Peeves was lying? Maybe he did do it?' Lindsey suggested.
'Yeah, maybe...' Dennis smiled at her. Lindsey felt her ears go red at an attempt to keep a blush at bay.
