I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS! ALL J.K ROWLING'S CHARACTERS! (MOSTLY CAUSE I SORTA HAVE TO IMPROVISE)
READ ON MY FELLOW POTTERHEADS!
*Lily's POV*
"Hey Lorcan." I said as I sat down in my Charms seat.
"Hey Lils." My best friend Lorcan says without even looking up from his book.
"Typical Ravenclaws." I think. He must think the same thing about me though whenever I take on dares my cousin Hugo gives me. Hugo, Lorcan and Lysander are all Ravenclaws and constantly dare me to do things because I'm a Gryffindor. What makes it even worse is that every year the dares get worse as I get older and now we are all in sixth year.
"Did you do the homework?" I ask Lorcan curiously.
"Yes Lily I did the homework." he says putting down his Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them textbook.
"Well I was wondering if the spell is a conjuring spell or a hex cause it can go both ways." I explained.
"It is a conjuring spell Lils. If you payed more attention instead of daydreaming you would know that." Lorcan said with a smirk.
"No need to be rude." I mumble.
"Aw come on Lily he was just kidding." Hugo says behind me.
"Shut up Hugo." I tell him with a smile.
"Careful Hugo, your cousin has a nasty temper." Lysander says to Hugo.
I turn around and glare at Lysander and Hugo until Professor Flitwick walks in a couple of seconds later.
*After the lesson*
Lorcan looked drenched and I couldn't stop apologizing.
"Lorcan I am so sorry!" I said for the hundredth time.
"Lily it's fine, you have the spell down now." Lorcan said grinning.
Lorcan, Hugo, Lysander and I laugh all the way to the Great Hall for dinner. I wave bye to them and sit down at the Gryffindor table. Rose sits in front of me with her friend Tammy Thomas. Next to me my friend Allison Wood and Cassie Bennett (muggle born) sit down.
"Hey Lily!" the two of them said in unison.
"Hey!" I said.
I grabbed a piece of chicken and started cutting it up when I noticed Allison and Cassie eyeing me.
"What?" I asked suddenly thinking I had something in my hair.
"We overheard something." Allison said in a gleeful whisper.
"Headmistress McGonagall is going to announce it tonight." Cassie said.
I had know idea what the two of them were getting at but seconds later Headmistress stood in front of the Great Hall.
"Attention!" she said. Everyone one fell silent except for a couple of Slytherins.
"It is almost time for Christmas and this year without the trouble of a Tri-Wizard Tournament we will be having a Yule Ball." she announced.
A great eruption of gleeful whispering came from all around the hall.
"But-." she said as the hall fell silent once more.
"This will be a fourth year and up event and all younger students or students not attending the ball must leave Hogwarts for Christmas." Headmistress said.
Now angry remarks were being made from all of the younger students and even happier remarks from the older students were being made.
"More information will be announced when the Yule Ball draws closer to it's date which is Christmas day. That is all enjoy your feast." she said.
I looked over at Allison and Cassie who were squealing with excitement. Rose and Tammy looked at me with smiling faces.
"You should go with Scorpius." I told Rose.
"You think?." Rose said with a grin.
"Duh he is your boyfriend!" I said.
Rose and Scorpius have been best friends since the first day of Hogwarts. Last year the two of them finally started going out and couldn't be happier even though he was Slytherin and she was Gryffindor. It was the scandal of last year and people actually had fights on whether or not they would survive the year or break up. It was more popular than the Quibbler.
"So this was the big news?." I asked Allison and Cassie.
"Yes and we know who you should go with." Cassie said happily.
"Really? Who?" I ask sarcastically.
"Lorcan!" Allison and Cassie squealed in unison.
"Lorcan? My friend Lorcan Lovegood? I ask almost choking on the chicken I had eaten.
"Why would you say that?" I ask them.
"Seriously? It is so obvious you like each other." Allison says.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night Alli." I said to her.
I spent the rest of the night listening to Allison and Cassie talk about the Yule Ball. They talked about the guys they should go with and the dresses they were gonna get at Magic Looks the new store in Hogsmeade. But all night long I pondered the idea of going to the ball with Lorcan. I mean I don't like him any more than a friend and he feels the same way about me. I hope. But what if he does ask me to the ball? Ugh! I am being like my father and thinking way to much about my feelings with others. I laid in my bed and after a while got some sleep.
