Alicia Zamber- Chapter Twenty Two

Instructions

Alicia enters the main hall, excited out of her mind to start a fresh year at her favorite school. She and Venus took a seat. Witches and Wizards filled the halls in a frenzied movement. Apparently, Alicia wasn't the only one who was excited. Suddenly, her pocket rustled, Harmony was trying to tell her something. Alicia looked around then slightly opened her pocket with her fingertips allowing her to see Harmony. "What is it?" She whispers. "Hoist me onto the table! I wanna see!" Alicia frowns and says "But won't Venus see you?" "Keep me hidden but at least let me see the commotion!" Harmony says, pouting slightly. Alicia sighed and brought her up to the table, cleverly concealing her in the palm of her hand. The rest of the welcoming ceremony was commenced smoothly and afterwards the girls stood up and headed to their dorms. When the two of them entered their dorm room, Venus flopped down on her bed, sighing. Alicia smiled and hid Harmony in her pocket. "I'm so tired, Harmony...." Venus grumbled rubbing her eyes. Alicia smiled and almost didn't reply, thinking she was still Alicia and not currently disguised as her friend. "R-right, me too..." She stuttered, faking a yawn and sitting on her bunk. Even though the whole day was a mouthful, Alicia didn't find herself as tired as she thought. "I have to go-grab something real quick...I'll be right back..." Alicia said, looking for an excuse to go for a short walk. The day wasn't over yet and Alicia needed some time to herself, even though Harmony was still hidden in her pocket. "Hey, where are we going?" Harmony squeaked from her pocket. Alicia picked her up and rested her on her shoulder, smiling. "Just for a little walk," She replied, roaming the halls, her hand tracing the wallpaper. The moonlight shown throughout the windows, waning crescent. "It's beautiful," Alicia mumbled to herself, admiring the view. Hogwarts had always felt like home away from home to Alicia, her friends were like her family. Suddenly, footsteps sounded from the opposite hallway. Alicia's head swiveled so fast that Harmony almost fell from her shoulder. "Looks like I'm not the only one taking a walk tonight," A shadow stood before her. Alicia swallowed hard. A teenage girl her age stood into the light, smiling. Her eyes were deep and her skin was a beautiful brown, hair long and frizzy. Something about her reminded Alicia about someone. Who was she? Harmony hid behind her hair, trying not to be seen. "Beautiful night isn't it?" The girl asked, smiling, hands behind her back contently. It wasn't until this moment that Alicia realized who this girl was. Idona.
