Chapter 3 My head is spinning. My first friend, and maybe even my best friend, is in a different house from me. I take a deep breath, trying to calm all the thoughts that are whizzing through my head. Carina looks over to me, and I try contort my face into a smile. She smiles back at me, so I assume that I didn't look like a Troll who had eaten too much sugar. She goes to sit down at the Slytherin table, and after a couple more names are called, Professor Dumbledore announces that we can go to our common rooms. I start to follow the rest of the Hufflepuffs, but then notice something. I feel the inside pocket of my robes, and sure enough, Eddie was gone. In all the excitement, I had forgotten about him. I stop in my tracks and whistle a little melody to see if he was nearby. There was no reply. I roll my eyes and turn in the opposite direction. I didn't care if I got lost, but I DID care whether or not Eddie turned into cat food or not. "Where is that sneaky Bowtruckle..." I mutter to myself. "Who are you talking to?" Someone asks. I look up to see a brown haired Gryffindor girl with sparkling green eyes at the end of the hallway. "Uh- No one." I say, embarassed. She raises an eyebrow at me, then shrugs and turns away. "Um, just wondering, have you seen a small little plant type thing - A Bowtruckle - anywhere?" I ask hesitantly. The girl lifts her head and squints at one of the portraits hanging from the wall, a lady with a flowy purple gown lying dramatically across a plump red couch. "Is that it?" She points to the corner where a small pot plant with drooping leaves is sitting. "Thats a pot pl-" I start to say, blankly staring at the portrait, When suddenly I spot a small branch on the pot plant twitch "Eddie!" I say as the sneaky Bowtruckle starts to clamber down. "Accio!" The girl says, pulling her wand out of her robes and pointing it at Eddie. He zooms towards the girls hand, and lands with a small squeak, clambering into my shoulder after a few moments. "Thanks-" I say, cutting off because I didn't know her name. "Dawn. Dawn Lupin." Dawn says with a grin. "Thanks Dawn. I'm Cadence Scamander." I smile. "See you around?" Dawn asks, gently sliding her wand back in her robes, which were a brilliant scarlet red, representing Gryffindor. "Sure! I have to get back to the Hufflepuff dorm, do you have any idea where that is?" I ask, realizing just now that I didn't have a clue where that was. "It's by the kitchens." Dawn says, pointing a few doors to the left of where we were standing. "Got it." I say, turning my head towards the door. I head through the door, and stand infront of some barrels by the kitchen, and only then realize I don't know the password.
Creds to my pookie @Dawn_Lupin for her OC! I said I would probably never write a long chapter ever again, and, *Sigh* Here we are.
