"so where are you from " she asked.

"I used to live in Pakistan but now me and my family live in England, what about you?" she asked.

"I live in Scotland with my mum dad and sister. They were sooo freaked out when they found out about this place" she giggled nervously blushing slightly. " They thought I was playing a joke on them." she laughed rememberin this.

"hahaha" Sarah laughed "same was with my sister, when i told her she looked at me like i was crazy or something!"

"Hmm.." Rue Everdeen yawned. She had just finished studying in the common room and was now going to bed. Her life was crazy right now. She had a budding relationship with a Slytherin, and she invited him to christmas at her cousin's house. The worst part was- they were arh rivals.

Demetria came in to the girl's common room, and threw all of her books onto her bed. Who knew being a fifth year would be so...stressful? She went into her trunk, grabbed the bag of gummy worms she had in there, and sat down at her favorite spot; the window. She looked outside at the beautiful grounds, then back into the room. There were a few firstie's hanging out. Oh how she missed being a firstie. Everything was so new and exciting and the professors only gave you a little homework. As a fifth year they hand it out like it's going out of style. I guess that was good considering Demetria was no where near ready for her O.W.Ls, and they were creeping around the corner more and more each day.

She looked down at the two gummi worms in her hand. One was green, the other was red. Xeha...she hadn't seen her since the first day of school. Even though she knew Xeh wasn't out there, Dem still looked outside with an inch of hope that she would see her by the lake studying or something. All she wanted right now was a friend to hang out with. If her Lizzie and Shay were up here, she would atleast have someone to talk to and pull some tension off of her shoulders. Merlin knows they're probably just as stressed as her.

Out of the corner of her eye, Dem could see her books staring at her, taunting her. She knew she should've been studying, but she just couldn't right now. Right now was her time. She snapped her focus back over towards the window, and continued eating her happy, schoolwork-free, gummi worms.

"Haha! I'm so glad I was aloud to come though So are you muggle born then?"

Isla asked surprised at Sarah's response.

DEMETIRA WEASLEY! Shaylee ran over to her friend, gave her a hug and said, You better have some of those gummy things to share! She smiled at her friend and sat down on her bed. So how have you been Dem?

Demetria popped out of her daze and jumped about three feet in the air. "Merlin's beard, Shay!! Way to scare the candy out of me!" she half laughed, half yelled. She scooted over to make room so her friend could sit next to her. "I feel like we haven't seen each other in forever." she sighed and handed Shay a handful of gummi worms. "Me, you, and Lizzie have been so busy lately. Remember when we were always up here?" she looked around at the dorm room. It hadn't changed a bit within the past five years. "I say that we should hunt down Lizzie and go to the three broomsticks together....next time we're all free ofcourse." she smiled

Shaylee laughed with her friend and took the candy from her. She sighed and said,I know, the goood old days when we were always together. She popped a gummmy in her mouth and crossed her legs. Nodding, she said, Any sighting of Liz, tackle her to the ground and we'll drag her to the three broomsticks.

"yeah" i answered nodding my head.

Mmm.

Gold was super, super sleepy, and her green eyes were ready to close themselves, and let her float away, into realms of blissful oblivion, any second. The fifth year held in one hand, as she entered the dormitory, a silver tea-cup, the shade of moonlight, and there were little, shimmering designs carved elegantly into its handle.

It was full of tea. Tea of a different kind.

-- Valerian-witchweed tea.

She placed this on the little table beside her four-poster, and sat down on her bed. Then she looked down at her carpet slippers - they were fluffy and pink, and had smiley bunnies on top of the straps - for several moments. When she was sure she could not do that any longer, and just had to sleep, she picked up the teacup, and drank.

Emptied its contents in three, long sips.

Then she flicked her wand, vanished the teacup, tucked her wand into its holster - it was lying on the table, the holster - and, settling into her comfortable bed, closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Peaceful, light-hearted sleep that soon gave way to a sudden onset of colours.

Ah yes, she dreamt.

She dreamt quite a bit, that night.
