Librana Jasmine Malfoy did not prefer to go to parties. In fact, she despised them. Being that she would rather be curled up in a corner reading a good book and listening to music than be in a dark room jam-packed with people she didn't even know. No, Libby wasn't a social person. Though she was kind-hearted, well liked and intelligent, she was rather shy and enjoyed her time alone. Libby walked up the spiral staircase until she reached the entrance to the Ravenclaw Tower. She approached the eagle knocker on the door.
"Which came first? The phoenix or the flame?" Libby quickly replied,
"A circle has no beginning." And with that, the door swung open to the common room. The circular room was truly beautiful; adorned with blue carpet and violet drapes. Caught up in the mesmerizing splendor of the room, Libby didn't notice her best friend running towards her. Sunny Longbottom was in a hurry and her words came out in raspy breaths.
"Libby! The 6th year party in Gryffindor Tower is starting right now. C'mon let's go!" Sunny pulled Libby's hand,
"What are you waiting for? Pip pip!" Libby hesitated,
"I dunno, Sunny."
"Get real, Libby. Ravenclaws never admit that they don't know something." Libby gave in,
"Alright, alright! I'll go." Sunny beamed from ear to ear. They made their way to the portrait of the Fat Lady, who knew there was a party and let them into the common room. Surprisingly, this gathering was rather calm and everyone was either chatting about recent gossip or enjoying a glass of butterbeer.
"Now remember what we went over about socializing, Libby. Just be yourself, smile and start up some small talk." Said Sunny. Libby sat down next to a cute boy from Hufflepuff and stuck up a conversation. Sunny winked at her and gave her a thumbs up. However, Libby's moment of happiness was short lived for Patrick Finnigan had leapt up onto one of the tables to make an announcement. "Are you guys ready to play Spin the Bottle?" The students cheered and roared in approval. Patrick grinned,
"There's one catch. Not only do you have to snog with the person the bottle lands on, but you'll have to go on a date as well." Excited chatter filled the room.
"I've cast an unbreakable vow on everyone one in this room and the only exceptions are siblings and cousins. The rest of you are on your own." He said. The whole lot of them sat in a circle and a spell was cast on a butterbeer bottle. The first spin of the bottle landed on Albus Potter, who used to be like a brother to Libby. Patrick flicked his wand and the bottle spun once more. Libby watched the tip of the bottle as it neared her and stopped. Well that isn't good. Patrick pointed to the couch by the fireplace. "Well?" Everyone gazed at her expectantly. Albus and Libby stood up and made their way over to the couch. Albus blushed,
"Er, I guess I'll just-"
"Erm, yeah." Libby mumbled. She grasped his chin with her fingers and pulled him into a kiss. Albus' hands moved towards Libby's face and cupped her cheeks.
The two of them kissed each other with more and more passion and intensity. Whoops and hollers erupted throughout the room and soon, Albus had Libby
straddled to the couch. Colorful sparks began to shimmer around them, a sign that there was some major chemistry going on. The snogging continued until Libby
pulled away from Albus; they smiled at each sheepishly other and returned to the circle. Patrick exclaimed, "That was quite a show! I'm starting to think you two
could really hit it off!" Everyone else nodded in agreement. Multiple couples were summoned to Snogging City but Libby did not pay any attention to them. She
and Albus flirted for the remainder of the party; throwing furtive glances at each other. For once in her lifetime, Librana wished that the party would never end. All she wanted to do was stay the night with Albus and simply catch up on each other's lives. She was curious to know the reason behind their severed
friendship. They used to play hide and seek at Malfoy Manor and read books together on the wooden swing. What had happened between them? Libby looked
around and noticed that the party had ended and everyone was rushing to the portrait opening. Following suit, Libby felt someone grab her wrist and turned
around to find Albus. Libby smiled like an idiot, "Hey!" Albus pursed his lips together; "So tomorrow's a Saturday and it's Hogsmeade weekend-" He gazed at her
expectantly. "-and I was wondering if you wanted to meet me at The Three Broomsticks tomorrow at noon." Librana's heart jumped for joy. "Sure, Albus. But I don't have much of a choice, if I don't come we'll both die." Albus grinned,
"I'll see you tomorrow then?" Libby nodded yes and joined Sunny outside in the corridor. "Was that what I think it was?" Sunny asked. Libby laughed, "Depends
on what you were thinking." Sunny squealed and clasped hands with Libby as the two girls jumped up and down in excitement. "Be up bright and early tomorrow
so I can fix you up for you date." Sunny frowned and pointed to Libby's wrinkled Ravenclaw t-shirt and her holey jeans, "You're in need of a major wardrobe
makeover." Libby laughed and with that, the two girls began their journey up the stairs to Ravenclaw tower. "You see, Libby. Parties aren't so bad!" Libby thought about it for a while. "No, maybe they're not so bad after all."
