So this is for a challenge for the Yours Sincerely Competition on the HPFC forum. It's a pair work between me and the lovely Lovisa (lowi) and we hope you enjoy it!
"But you promise you'll write?" Lily asked me for the millionth time.
"Yes Lily, I promise."I answered for the millionth time.
"Great…because…you know, I need to keep track of what you do, so I can mock you about later." She said in a relaxed tone of voice. "And because these holidays just scream boring…"
Lily and I were both going out of the country, these summer holidays; the Hogwarts Express had arrived at the station a couple of minutes ago, and, after hugs, kisses and even some crying (Lorcan is such a baby) because of being reunited with our families, Lily and I, and, well, every other student, were now saying goodbye to each other.
"You still don't know where you're going?" I asked.
"Hmm…no, I have a bit of an idea, but I can be wrong…I hope I'm wrong." Lily sighed, and looked back at me. "What about you?"
"I have no idea…" But it seemed pretty bad; in the latest letters my parents had sent me and Lorcan, they seemed pretty excited about the place that they insisted on keeping a secret. That's when I knew it was pretty bad, since when my parents love something, it's assured to be scary. "Where do you think you're going anyway?"
Lily gave me a mischievous smile. "No saying; you'll have to write me if you want to find out."
"You too? First my parents don't want to tell me where we're going, now this?" My anger seemed to please her. Lily, the evil, Potter, who got a kick out of other people's misfortune and unpleasantness.
"Oh…you'll find out soon enough, Lyssie, don't worry. I'm leaving tomorrow. The fastest you write, the quicker you know." She grinned. "I just love making you mad."
My heart gave a small jump at the word love. I felt myself blush a bit. Damn, summer has just started and I'm already acting like Lorcan; why the bloody hell am I blushing?
"You okay, Lyssie?" Lily eyed me suspiciously.
"Absolutely. Stop calling me Lyssie." I demanded with narrowed eyes.
"Never, I like Lyssie." She gave a satisfied smile and was starting to open her mouth to say something more, when her father called her name. "Coming dad!" She yelled back. She looked me; Lily and I weren't good at goodbyes.
"So…you should go." I said, a bit awkwardly.
"Yeah, I should…bye." Then she hugged me, it was just for a second, but I felt myself blushing again. And then she was gone; and, after a wave from far away, she left with her family.
I sighed and walked next to my family, wondering when we would be able to leave. A group of girls stared at me and then laughed; the same happened with a group of 3th year boys... everyone was going crazy today.
As I reached my family, I found Lorcan talking nonstop to my parents, before my mother looked up at me when she saw me.
"You done saying goodbyem sweetheart?" My Mum asked softly.
"Yup, ready to go home." I passed by them, in the direction of the car.
"Hmm…Lysander? You have something on your back." Lorcan's voice came from behind me.
"What?" I put a hand in my back to find a piece of paper attached to it; I ripped it and turned it in my hand to see it.
It said: Who wants some Lyssie love?
Damn you Lily!
Don't forget to review!
