The Malfoy of Ravenclaw chapter 5

Instructions

I plopped down on the only unoccupied bed, the one between Luna’s and Leonora’s, and started to unpack my belongings. This took about an hour, since I had packed an unnecessary amount of items. “Ash, do you want some help with that?” Luna asked from behind me. “Nah, thanks though,” I said, turning around and smiling kindly at her. “Yeah, I’m good.” I didn’t speak to anyone until I was done and put my trunk beside my bed. It was fun with these other girls, but I really do miss Sarah (not Sarafina, the one on the train), Ivy, and Patricia. 'I wonder if they even remember me, even though we’d just met…' I thought, making myself a tad bit sad. 'One of these days, I am just gonna… I don’t know, something.' I felt sort of weird feeling in my head. I looked around. “You okay?” I heard one of the girls say. Leonora had put herself at the end of the bed, right next to me. “You’re s— you seem sad.” “How’d you know? Is it /that/ obvious?” I asked, slightly nervous that she could tell just like that. “It’s nothing…. It’s not obvious, you’re kind of a poker face.” “Please… tell me, I want to know,” I said back quietly so my other dorm mates or whatever wouldn’t hear. “You won’t tell will you? It’s really accidental, whenever I do it, but still, promise?” she asked slightly anxiously. “Yeah, of course.” “Well, it’s kinda weird, but you know that people can become a Legilimens?” I nodded. “It’s kinda, I dunno, maybe rare or whatever, I don’t care… but I was born one. It’s really annoying.” I pitied her. Having to feel, or at least see, I don’t know what it is, everyone’s pain, thoughts, feelings, stress, and other stuff. “I’m sorry,” I said. “Oh, it’s fine, it’s not your fault.” “Hey, Ash, Luna, Lara,” Dianna said, “it’s about nine, let’s go to bed.” 'I guess Lara is Leonora' I thought. I looked at a dark blue clock above the dormitory’s entrance door and it showed nine on the dot. “Yeah, you’re right,” Luna said calmly. “We should get going.” I finished putting my belongings away, and climbed my always into the bed. It was cold, with navy silk sheets and blankets. 'Merlin’s beard, really?' I thought. 'Best to have just stayed back at home…' Eventually, I don’t remember when, but sometime I finally fell asleep, but I was worried about tomorrow.
