Chris was the easiest of all three of them to meet. Gryffindor shared Herbology lessons with Hufflepuff. It was only a matter of time before they were working at the same pot and chatting it up like they use to in Gwen's dreams.

It felt so good to have her friends back in her life. Even though they weren't aware of the extensive history they had shared in Gwen's head there was that same kind of chemistry. It was as if the bonds, even though imaginary were so strong that she needed only to remind her friends of their presence.

Some of the other Gryffindor's were a little scandalized over her relationship with Graves. They couldn't bear one of their brightest to be hanging out with a Slytherin, even if he was nicest Slytherins out of the whole lot. Regardless, the days that followed were some of the best of Gwen's life.

She couldn't think on those times without smiling. She was surprised when she got all three of them to sit together to watch a Quidditch match. They were a full representation of the houses sitting in a little clump high up in the stands. All of them were cheering for Harry except for Graves (which was acceptable since Gryffindor was playing Slytherin that afternoon; it was almost blasphemy if you didn't cheer for your own house team).

Graves found he liked Chris's off the wall sense of humor. Gabrielle found that she had much in common history wise with Chris. They had grown up rather close to each other in muggle communities and knew many of the same people. Gwen smiled that everything was falling into place. She could have the best of both worlds. Her friends were here at Hogwarts and back together as if they'd always belonged together, thanks to her perseverance.
