Thanks in advance for reveiws!
One. Vampires are Sticky
Vampires are sticky, or so says Dominique. Lily had been trying to think of an interesting way to start her essay on vampires and had asked Dominique if she knew any surprising facts about the creatures. And, as it turned out, Dominique did.
"They have sticky chests," Dominique said matter-of-factly. Lily gave her cousin a look, and Dominique went on to explain, "Last summer in France," all the good stories started this way, "Louis and I told our parents we were going au la bord de mer, but instead we decided to go our own way. I'm not sure where he went, but I decided to go to this little restaurant. And there was a vampire there. And well," Dominique's voice trailed off, "Well their chests are sticky. Let's just leave it at that."
Two. Albus the Girl
Lily had always wondered how Albus Severus got his name. It was an odd name, but she'd figured it was well planned. However on Albus' fourteenth birthday, Teddy enlightened her as to the reason for Al's name.
"They thought he was going to be a girl; he'd have been Lily Luna if he were. But instead he was a boy. They had to think up a name quickly… and Albus Severus it was," Teddy gave a small snort.
Three. Rodents
"I can't believe my patronus is a mouse!" Lily said huffily. After years of trying and trying to produce one she finally had. And it was a mouse.
"Well, I'm not surprised," Rose told her, looking up from a thick book. Lily couldn't have been more offended! Was she really that mouse-like? Sure she was a little quiet, but that hardly warranted her having a mouse patronus. "Rodents are the most common patronus forms," Rose said again, this time not looking up from the thick book. Lily didn't feel any better.
Four. Apples
At Aunt Herminone's insistence Lily was reading Snow White. Her mother had, unfortunately, agreed a little exposure to muggle literature might be a good thing. Thankfully Lucy showed up and made the whole thing better.
"Are you reading Snow White?" Lucy had asked rhetotircally, sounding scandalized. "What an awful book. Muggles are so dumb. They always have witches eating apple, which is stupid." Lucy scowled again.
"Why is that stupid?"
Lucy gave Lily a slightly condescending look, "Obviously it's because apples are one of the most common allergies among witches and wizards,"
