FIREFLY-CATCHIN' DAYS | CORRINE

[Deleted]

Peyton never thought her time would come, when she and her two sisters, walked the halls of Hogwarts with her elder siblings. The blonde was nervous all the same when they arrived at the docks, taking boats over to the massive looming castle in the distance. This would be her new home for the next seven years, and she was excited all the same. That was a few days ago, a few days since she sat upon the stool with the hat upon her head, her curiosity all the same as she wondered what house she’d be in. Would she follow in the footsteps of her other siblings or would she enter a house that a Bainbridge had not been sorted into yet? The hat took it’s sweet ole time, long enough for her to fear that she didn’t belong anywhere before he yelled out her house.

‘Hufflepuff!’

Luckily her two sisters had been placed in the same house, so she wasn’t alone in the massive castle. She was happy, and content. The young first-year wandered around the castle, making her way to where she learned the library was located. Her home away from home, she wanted to call it. This would be another place you could find her when she wasn’t outside or in the common rooms, the sweet silence that was the library.

It had been a few days since Corrine was back in Hogwarts and she was getting used to it by now. It was only her second year in the school and while she had known that she was a witch, she still was not used to openly seeing the use of magic. Being away from magic all summer, she once more felt new to seeing it being done. She had always wondered why her parents never used magic in their daily lives like everyone else. When asked the same her mother replied that she never felt like using it given that they live in the muggle world. She knew that a few magical families live among normal people and yet the use magic, but when pointed the same to her mother, she quickly shut her with a cookie. And being a cookie lover she was Corrine forgot all about what she wanted to ask.

As Corrine made her way to the library she spotted a familiar blonde hair. She thought that it was her fellow dorm mate, Kinsey Bainbridge but only when she was close enough to her did she realize that it was not her, but one of her sisters. She walked up to her and with a smile she said "hello there, you're a Bainbridge right? first year if I am not wrong" She knew that it was one of the new kids who was sorted this year, but she did not remember what her name was. And considering that she and Kinsey were not the best of friends to begin with she had not even asked her about her family. Some how she and Kinsey could not come closer even after sharing a dorm for one year. But then again not many people become friends just like that.

Just as she grew closer and closer to the library, the sound of a female voice came from next to her, and she smiled. She didn’t recognize the other girl and knew that she was a bit older than her since she didn’t know her from any of her classes. When asked if she was a Bainbridge, and a first year, she quickly nodded her head, “Yeah, I’m Peyton,” she said with a smile on her face, “And you are?” she questioned, the same smile on her face. It then occurred to her that she didn’t know how she knew about her last name, and quickly questioned, “Do you know one of my sisters or my brother?” Maybe she knew one of her fellow triplets, either Persephone or Penelope, or maybe even Cara or Dustin. Those were the only four that had the blonde locks, much like Peyton herself. Though both Kinsey and Diana had certain facial features that matched, they sported the brunette hair in the family.

Only when Corrine actually saw the face of the other girl did she remember that Kinsey had brunette hair while this one had blonde. But it would seem that they do share some features which was what made Cor actually remember her from sorting. When the blonde girl nodded at the recognition she said "Nice to meet you Peyton. I'm Corrine" she said with an equal smile on her face. When the blonde girl had asked if she knew her sisters, Cor gave a slight nod at her and said "yeah, Kinsey and I share a dorm". While it was true that she and Kinsey never clicked together as friends, they did see each other a lot of times for Cor to remember who she was.

And then Cor added "and I remembered you from the sorting, you were there along with your two other sisters." With a smile she then asked "were you going to the library?"curious to know and wanting to help out the girl if she was looking for something. As someone who had just completed her first year, Cor knew that there were a wide of range of things in Hogwarts which she did not know and often felt lost. And at that time she all but looked lost, hoping someone would help her out. And that was why Cor tried to help out others as much as she can.

“Oh, Corrine…what a pretty name,” she said with a huge smile on her face, “The pleasure is all mine, Miss Corrine,” she added in the same tone. It was revealed to her shortly after that the girl knew of her sister Kinsey, and that they shared a room, thus, revealing that she was around the older girl’s age. She smiled, “That’s cool! You’re a Ravenclaw then?” she said though it sounded more like a question once it slipped out of her lips, of course, she was. Peyton was still trying to get over her socially awkward phase, trying to be more outgoing with others that didn’t resemble her a bit. “Yes! Penelope and Persephone,” she said with a small laugh with a smile on her face, though she didn’t think that Corrine was asking about their names, just stating that she saw all three of them together when they were sorted. “Uh—yeah, I was going to go read, maybe get a head start on some homework,” she said rather awkwardly, almost embarrassed at her nerdish behavior.

When the younger girl complimented her name, Corrine gave a wide smile and said "thank you" and then she added "so is yours". While Corrine was complimented for many things, her eyes being the primary reason she had not received a compliment for her name, which made her like the younger girl i nan instant. She definitely was going to be remembered by Corrine for a long time despite how their interaction would go. After all for Corrine, little things like these matter a lot.

When the girl asked her or sort of stated that she was in ravenclaw, Cor gave a nod and said "yes a ravenclaw"and then smiled. She found the girls talking to be quite sweet and cute, which made her think that it had been a good idea to stop by and talk to the girl that day. When Peyton mentioned her sisters' names Cor gave a nod and made it a point to remember them. "You three have such nice names, which go along quite well" said Corrine when she noted that the names started with P and were rather unique to come across these days.

When Peyton confirmed that she was heading to the library to read, Corrine gave a smile and said "well it is always a good idea to catch up on reading a bit before the class" and with a slightly low voice as though she were telling a secret she added "gives you an upper hand in understanding the class". That was what Corrine herself did and she always found her classes easy than a few of the others. "Already got homework? Damn isn't it only the first week of classes for you guys ?" said Corrine as she shook her head with a smile, wondering just how had she completed her own first year.

A giggle left the blonde’s lips as the girl stated that her name was as pretty, and nodding her head, she said “Thank you.” The brunette before her was sweet, almost as if she was the perfect person for Peyton to run in on this type of day. She didn’t know many people, besides her family that wandered the halls of Hogwarts, but most were in different houses than she was, besides her fellow triplets. It was nice, all of them being in the same place, at least for now. Eventually, their elder siblings would slowly be graduating, first would be Dustin, followed by the twins, and then the Kinsey would graduate. It was weird to think about them going their separate ways, people moving out and starting their own life. She shuttered at the thought, though didn’t display the motion physically.

She laughed, “Yeah—my parents decided that triplets needed the same letter. Guess they learned after having twins with names that weren’t similar, was just a no-no,” she said in a joking matter. It was true though, Cara and Diana didn’t have matching names besides ending in the same letter and being close in the alphabet, but when it came to the triplets, they each got a name that began with the same letter.

Peyton smiled, laughing at the other girl’s words; though she did frown and shook her head when the curse word left the lips of Corrine. She shrugged her shoulders, “Not homework. I like to read the course book ahead of time, gives me an upper hand in my school work,” she said with a smile. It was true though; she did enjoy reading the entire book before school even started, she was slowly getting there with the rest of the course material. Plus, it meant that when she was in class and everyone was confused, she’d know what she was doing quickly, and no need for embarrassment. Social interaction wasn’t Peyton’s best, and being the center of everyone’s attention because she did something wrong, was something she feared the most.

“Was the library where you were heading as well?” she questioned with curiosity in her eyes.

As the younger girl giggled, Corrine found herself smiling too. It was hard not to considering that Cor was the type to actually enjoy. As a first year Cor herself had felt a bit lonely and that kind of went away when she started talking to others. And looking at Peyton she asked with a curious smile “so did you get to attend all the classes?” She had guessed that the younger girl might’ve had a chance to get through them all at least once, considering that in her first year she had completed her classes in the very first week and a few classes she sat through twice. “Which subject has got your interest?” asked Corrine as they walked their way.

When Peyton mentioned that she has twins as siblings Corrine wondered just how many kids they were in total. But then again the Bainbridge name was shared by a lot of them in her opinion and she idly wondered if they were kids in each year, and she definitely did not know who all of them were. For now she can only guess that there were six and spoke up “you are one among the triplets, and then there is Kinsey and the twins you were saying, so you are six in total, right?” Now that Corrine thought about it she did not know how to feel to be in a house full of siblings. Having two younger ones of her own she felt that they themselves were too much to handle at times.

When she saw the other girl frown at her choice of words, Corrine bit her lip and made sure to remember to check her language before uttering anything. Having been a wild spirit Cor had long since forgotten that many do not like curse words to be used in casual talks. When Peyton answered her that she was reading ahead, Cor nodded with a wide smile and said ”that’s good, even I like to be a bit ahead of my classes”. When asked if she was headed to the library, she nodded her head and said ”yes I was headed there too, want to walk with me?”

Asked if she attended all her classes, she nodded her head before answering the question she wanted to. With a smile, she looked at the girl, “I enjoy charms…so I think it’ll be my favorite,” she said with a huge smile on her face. She enjoyed charms, even reading some of the spells they’d be learning would be amazing. “I think charms will probably be the most interesting class above the rest, I already know that potions will not be the easiest for me,” she said with a shake of her head. “What about you? What class has your interest?” she questioned, wanting to know if they held a favor of charms or not.

She shook her head, “We also have an older brother, so in total there are seven of us. But there are six girls,” she said with a small laugh. There were times when people felt sorry for Dustin, having to live with six females over the span of his childhood and teenage years. But he knew he was lucky; girls were better than boys anyway.

The girl quickly told her that she was heading to the library as well, answering Peyton’s question, before asking if she wanted to walk with her. She smiled brightly, excited that she was possibly making a friend with an older student, “I’d love to,” she said quickly.
