I voiced my suspicions aloud to Celia who tilted her head at a slight angle in thought. "It makes sense I guess," she concluded. I eagerly awaited her response. "Alright. I'll help you but I still need to study," she clarified. "Same! And complete our homework. I hear Snape gives out lots," I reasoned. "Let's name us C&D which can also stand for Clever Detectives," Celia suggested. Seeing her so thrilled, I couldn't refuse. "What do we do first, I wonder?" I thought aloud. Then, a light bulb switched on and simultaneously Celia and I said, "Interview Rose." We continued to follow a big beefy man, Hagrid towards Hogwarts. I caught sight of many students staring at us in disgust. "Keep it down," I hissed. Celia flashed a thumbs-up. At the Entrance Hall, Professor McGonnell greeted us, gazing at us sternly through her spectacles. She led us to the Great Hall where the ceremony began. Many names were called and sometimes a horde of green would roar, or maybe it was a horde of red or even a horde of yellow or blue. Finally, my name was called. I ran up there, stumbling over my own feet and jammed the hat on my head. "Hmm plenty of courage and wisdom. But like all the wise, you had better go to ... RAVENCLAW," the hat screamed the last word. At the Ravenclaw table, many were congratulating me and patting my back until it was sore. My twin sister got sorted into Ravenclaw as well. Unfortunately, our friends, Lily Potter and Celia Lupin got sorted into Gryffindor. Celia winked to indicate that she would have plenty of time with Rose since they shared a same common room. I grinned. For the rest of the day, I did not see Celia nor Rose. I suppose that she had already started the investigation. I waited anxiously for updates but none came. As we collected our owl post, a note fluttered into my lap. I exclaimed under my breath, "Finally Celia. It just gotta be you. What took you so long anyway?" My fingers fumbled a little with the sticky tape but I managed to get it open. To my surprise, it was from Rose. I heaved a rattling sigh as I began to read the letter. Dear Dabria, I am really sorry for taking it out on you. I think that you have the right to know something. Celia convinced me that you weren't trying to plot against me. Meet me at Gryffindor common room at exactly midnight. The password is Pig Snout. Be careful though. The Fat Lady is in a bad mood lately. From, Rose Granger-Weasley
