Baby streched her tan arms above her head and yawned. She rubbed her eyes, then threw down the covers on her bed. She climbed out and walked over to the mirror, smoothing down her dark brown hair. She walked over to her trunk and picked out a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, quickly putting them on. She was finally ready for her first day at Hogwarts. She walked out of her room, through the Slythein common room, and out into the hallways. She walked slowly, trying to find her way to the Great Hall. She sighed, deciding that she was already lost and tried to find someone to help her...
"Lost?" A soft, but confident voice sounded from behind Baby. Vanessa walked over to her. "I'm guessing your new. Let me show you around. The names Vanessa. Vanessa Parkinson." She tucked a piece of perfect brown hair behind her ears and smiled.
"Baby Carlye." Baby said softly, slightly intimidated. "I'm supossed to be going to the Great Hall, but I really don't know where I'm going. Thanks a lot for helping me." She smiled back, looking down at her feet nervously. Change was always hard on her.
"Nice to meet you." Vanessa said, "And I'll show you how to get to the Great Hall. It's really no problem." She turned down a hallway, walking towards the Great Hall. She paused, making sure that Baby was following.
Baby nodded, then walked down the hallways after Vanessa. She felt unconfortable in such an unfamilier place. She stayed right behind Vanessa, not wanting to get lost. "So... What house are you in?" She asked, trying to start a conversation. She didn't want to come here and be known as the weird girl who never talked.
"Slytherin. Along with you right?" Vanessa asked, still walking. "I heard that we had a few new ones comming this year... So I'm guessing your one of them."
Cody ran down the hall towards the common room with his arms wrapped around his spell books. His eyesight was getting blurry and dried out because of how fast he was running. He blinked for only a couple of secound to notice he had just hit something. He had shoved a girl he had not known. He had realized how rude he was acting and immediatly stopped in his tracks and looked up at the girl who had dark brown hair and was walking with Vannessa. He figured she was a new girl in Hogwarts. He faced her and said,"Sorry, i didnt mean to shove you. Uh...my names cody, whats yours?"
Alex was running away from one of his "fan girls" and suddenly bumped into a group of people. He stopped to catch his breath. "I'm so sorry!" He said finally.
Baby was about to reply to Vanessa's question when she was bumped into my two boys. "Uh... Hi. I'm Baby. Baby Caryle." She said quietly, smiling at the two. "And its okay." She giggled softly, then turned to Vanessa to see her reaction.
Alex smiled his dashing smile and said, "Hello I have never seen you around before, are you new here?"
"Yeah... I just transfered here." Baby replied, looking down at her feet. She hated being so shy. "And who are you?"
Alex who still had his smile on stuck his hand out and said, "The name is Alex, Alex Potter and you are?"
He smiled at Baby and then turned to Alex as he was talking.
"Baby Caryle." She said, smiling back. "It's kinda a weird name." She laughed. She hated her name so much, considering it made her sound like she was three.
"That's a unique name...." He said giving her a smile.
"Yeah... It's only because I was a mistake..." Baby said, her attitude showing. "My parents thought that they were only going to have my sister and so they didn't know what to name me..."
Cody looked at her feeling bad for her. "I like that name," he said nicely. and to be honest he really did like the name.
"I think that's not so nice of your parents...." Alex said.
"Yeah... That's what happens when you have a single mom." Baby shruged her shoulders.
Cody looked down at his feet, shuffling them back and forth like a little child when they have to go to the restroom. He had no words to say because if he says something it might come out wrong like it usually does, so he stayed silent, waiting for someone else to say something.
Alex sensed Cody's uncomfortableness and said, "Need to use the bathroom Cody?" He asked jokingly.
Baby giggled softly. Then she looked over to Vanessa, who had been keeping quiet. "Are you okay?" She asked curiously.
Alex had just noticed Vanessa there. He was into the conversation too much to notice her.
"Huh? Oh... Yeah I'm fine." Vanessa said quietly. "I'll be right back." She walked down the hall, dissapearing.
"Oh okay... Bye..." Baby said, somewhat confused. She turned back to Cody and Alex. "I wonder what that was about..."
"Something must have popped up or she's going to meet her boyfriend." He smirked after her. "Yep probably."
"Her boyfriend? Hm I didn't know she was dating anyone. Not that it suprises me..." Baby said, looking down the hall Vanessa had dissapeared into.
"Yeah it's Blaze.....he's one of my best friends."
"I see... I don't think I've met him." Baby said, curiously. She wondered who Vanessa would date.
"Is Vanessa related to you in some ways because it seems like you're really protective of her."
"Oh... No." Baby said. "I guess shes just my first friend and everything..." She shrugged her shoulders.
"Calm down Baby, you seem so nervous all of a sudden. I was joking with you!" He said loudly alittle too loudly.
Baby smiled. "Ohhhhh..." She said, hating herself for seeming stupid.
Alex smiled and said,"Well I'm heading for the Great Hall for something to eat. Are you coming?"
"Sure!" Baby said. "But I have no idea where I'm going, so your going to have to lead the way." She said with a laugh.
"Sure." He said laughing.
Baby started to walk down the hall, hoping it was the right way. "So when did you come here?" She asked.
"Five years ago I stepped into Hogwarts because my father came to this school as well."
"It seems nice here. I like it, even though it is nothing like Nantucket." Baby said with a sigh. She would do anything to be back home.
Avery was heading back up to the school to eat when she saw her sister and some guy. She ran over to her. "Hey Baby. You guys going up to eat?"she said practically jumping up and down. She loved Hogwarts!!!
"Yep!" Baby said, matching her sister's enthusiasm. "Oh... Avery this is Alex. Alex, this is Avery." She said, smiling.
Avery took Alex's hand. "Hi. Nice to meet you."she said politely.
