Penelope enters the common room and lets out a sigh. She sits down in one of the winged chairs facing the whole room.
"If you're in the common room that means that you've been sorted into Gryffindor, so let me be the first to say Welcome to Gryffindor. As the Head Girl of Gryffindor I'd be happy to assist you in any way that I can." she greets everyone.

Alice walks in the room happily, it was so warm and had such a cozy feel with it. She sat herself down on a comfy looking arm chair by the fire and watched Penelope telling the little first years what to do.
She looked around all of the many portraits were waving or bowing to the students welcoming them to gryffindor. one even waved at Alice which made her feel truly welcome

After Penelope introduced herself to all the first years, she made her way to Alice and sat down across from her.
"So what do you think of Hogwarts so far Alice?" Pen asked. Then she remembered, "Oh I forgot to mention, your bags are already at the foot of your bed. I believe that we'll be sharing a room. Isn't that great?"

Penelope sat down across from Alice, Alice gave a welcoming smile . "Its brilliant, loads better than WADA!" said Alice excitidley, it definatly was, that was a fact, she looked around with a puzzled expression remberring her luggage. Penelope seemed to sense that and told her it was already up there.
"Thats good" said Alice "for a minute there I thought i'd lost it" she laughed.
Penelope went on to tell her about them sharing a room.
"Ooh cool" said Alice happily "this years going to be awesome" finnshed alice happily, taking out her timetable remmberring lessons strted tommorow.
"So what lessons do you have first?" asked Alice

Penelope took out her "schedule" and looked at it.
"I have Potions with Snape," She replied. She let out a quiet sigh, potions wasn't her best subject and she often paid more attention to her professor than she did her potions. She couldn't help but try to figure the dark professor out. Of course, she never let her curious nature get in the way and cause her to make mistakes during class.
"What about you?" She asked Alice.

Alice checked her timetable, carefully.
"I have potions as well, which is good" Alice was ok at potions certainly not one of her strong points but she wasn't failing, she checked her timetable again.
"Whats the teacher like?" she asked penelope
"After that I have transfiguaration, then defense against the dark arts, what about you?"

Penelope smiled when Alice asked her about Professor Snape. "Oh I'm sure you met him when you came to get sorted. He was the black haired gloomy guy who is the head of Slytherin. He's kind of moody most of the time, but if you do well in his class then you really don't have much to worry about. Though he can be intemidating at times," she informed, remembering how scared Neville was of him.
She glanced at her timetable again, "After Potions I have transfiguration too, but then I have Defense Against the Dark Arts. I hear we have a new teacher this year, but thats nothing new. All of our teachers for that class end up going crazy or quitting when the year is over." She sighed.

"Oh so that was the man in the corner" said Alice "he seemed very anti social and didn't seem to have much interest" she finnished.
Alice laughed "So I'm guesssing since he's head of slytherin, that he doesn't like gryffindors much?".
She said crossing her legs and sitting indian style on the comfy arm chair

Harry walked in to hear the end of Penelope and Alice's conversation about Snape. "Hah, that jerk? He hates Gryffindors, me mostly though, so I'm sure you'll be fine." He said, and remembered the countless times Snape had made his life a living hell. "He's really quite annoying. I was taking notes in his class, first year, and he yelled at me." He recalled, vividly remembering the rude proffesor humiliate him in the middle of class. He was used to taking notes, and it seemed odd that a teacher would verbally attack him for doing such a deed. He walked over to the girls, having seen Ron and Hermione already, he wasn't so worried. The two were still down in the Great Hall, catching up with old friends. "But be careful, I saw you both hanging out with Draco and Kain, they are pretty much Snape's favorite students. So, they are untouchable in Snape's house points system...it's bloody annoying." He grumbled, sitting down on the couch. "I like having new teachers each year, and I hope our new one is good." He said, thinking of the teacher without at name, whom he had seen during dinner.

"That sucks" said Alice commenting Snapes Biased actions "he sounds like a complete prick".
"I'm guessing Draco and Kain aren't that well liked?" she asked to her companions a slight hint of suprise in her voice.
Harry had just told them about the DADA tradition.
"It must be interesting getting loads of different teachers" said Alice thoughtfully "but I suppose its a nuisance though sometimes with all those different teachers " she added "Lets just hope we don't get stuck with a horrid one this year".

Harry shook his head. "No, Draco and Kain are liked. Well, atleast by all the girls. Lots of guys hang out around them, because they want to be like the two." He paused, and looked at the fire. "I don't get the two of them." He finished, and rolled his eyes. Kain could get any girl he wanted, yet, was too picky and self concerned to worry about another person. And, Draco could do the same, yet he somehow let Pansy Parkinson run his life. And something about the two of them drew girls in like a magnet. Harry could've used that magnetic power during the Triwizard Tournament, when none of the girls wanted to go with him. He recalled hearing that there would be a similar event this year, for just the soul reason of getting together, and grumbled. He was jealous, and that's why he hated Kain and Draco so much. Well, Kain more.

Penelope rolled her eyes slightly, but what some may read as rudeness, from her it only seemed normal to some extent. She knew that under all the anger that Harry was letting lose about Kain and Draco was alittle jealousy.. perhaps more toward Kain but well.. who could really blame Harry? It was true that there were girls lining up for just a chance to talk to either of her compartment mates, and Penelope would have been lying to herself if she said that she didn't find Kain to be extremely interesting, and that her once dearest friend didn't have a certain charm.. but she wasn't one to join fanclubs. Besides, she knew the track record for both of them.. meaning that Kain wasn't really interested in any girl at the school from what she had seen, and Draco was always under Pansy's thumb.
She didn't quite understand Harry's annoyance though since he himself was quite the legend. The name Harry Potter has stayed on the tongue of basically everyone for quite some time.. and alot of girls liked him too. Just perhaps not the ones that Harry would have wished.
"I'm sure that you'll do fine with Snape, Alice. Its true that he can be pretty strict but he's still a great teacher. He does seem to have it in for Harry though." Penelope recalled all the times that Snape was mean to Harry and she had a feeling that it was personal to some degree.
"So I wonder who our new DADA teacher is going to be. Any word Harry?" She asked, changing the subject to not anger her friend.

Alice caught Penelope roll her eyes, at Harry.
She sent a quick smile to Penelope and sat listening to the conversation.
"Yeah" said Alice agreeing with Penelope about snape, "I guess I'm just a little nervous, you know" she said giving a soft smile "But i can't wait to get started this year" she finnished happily.
Alice listened intently waiting to here the news on the new teacher

Harry shook his head. "No, i have no idea who our new DADA teacher is going to be. I saw him, looming around, but I must not have been paying attention when Dumbledore introduced him." He said, honestly. He needed to start paying more attention to Dumbledore's speeches, than Cho Chang, who had been his latest interest. However, slowly, but surely, she was loosing her like-a-bility. "And Snape will like you, he just hates me." He said, chuckling. By then, Ron and Hermione came up, and were about ready for bed. "Yeah, I think I'm going to get some sleep, I wouldn't want to piss off Snape on the first day." He smiled, and departed, leaving for his dormitory.

Alice gave a stifled yawn, she was tired herself, to be honest. She gazed across at the magical clock on the mantle peice, it was indeed half past 11, well f she wanted to make a good impression on her new teachers she'd better get to bed now.
"Hey Pen I'm going to go to bed now" said Alice yawning and walking away, Alice stopped in the middle of the room.
"This is going to sound really stupid" said Alice chuckling slightly "But where's the girls dorms?" she asked tiredly
