The Girlfriend Code

by musicprincess1990

"Rule #5: Absolutely NO dating each other's ex-boyfriends or family members." Lily Potter and Halley Jefferson have been best friends since first year, freakishly close due to the Girlfriend Code, which they wrote on the night they became friends. But what happens when outside forces challenge their friendship? Read and review! Rated T mostly for language.

Picture if you will: it's approximately 1:00 in the morning. I'm lying in bed, almost asleep. The beginnings of a dream are just beginning to tickle my brain, and I sigh contentedly, lost for a moment in that magical state of mind between dreams and reality. Then, suddenly, that misty, hazy, almost-dream forms into a coherent thought, then an idea, and in an instant, I'm wide awake. I leap from my bed, turn on the computer, and start typing like a madwoman! And I come up with this. :)

Nice story, huh? Well, it's the truth! So please, be kind to me and my sleep-deprived brain, and leave a review! :D

The Girlfriend Code (or "Best Friend Code")
As Set Forth by Lily Luna Potter and Halley Rae Jefferson
Dated 12 September, 2020

We, Lily Luna Potter and Halley Ray Jefferson, do solemnly swear to be best friends until we die. As such, we have set forth this list of rules, which we swear to obey and respect, no matter what. The rules are as follows:

1. Be there fore your friend. Period. [Well, that's a no-brainer. Of course we'll be there for each other. Aww shucks, bestie!]

2. If you hear any less than flattering gossip about your friend, defend them, and if the situation warrants it, kick the offender in the groin. [*giggle* Like you did with Damon Goyle! Well, he deserved it! I know he did. And that's why we're friends.]

3. You are study/class partners, ALWAYS, unless the professor instructs otherwise. [Good old Neville's good at that. If he weren't an old family friend… Your parents would kill you if you pranked him, you know that.Drat.]

4. Take each other's secrets to the grave. [Lil, we don't have any secrets. Not yet, but someday we will. Fair enough.]

5. (For future reference) Absolutely NO dating each other's ex-boyfriends or family members, so as to avoid any unnecessary drama. [Oh, come ON, Lily! We're only 11! We're not old enough to be thinking about boys yet! Hello! That's why I put "for future reference!" It's just something to remember when we're older. *grumbles*]

These rules are set in stone, and cannot be altered or tweaked to fit one or both parties' whims. Hoes before bros, besties until the end. Respect the code. ["Hoes before bros"? Really? You know you love it.]
