This Mirror isn't Big enough For the Two of Us!
"Ahhh!"
Lily woke up, shaken and afraid in her bed. She brushed her short fiery red hair out of her emerald green eyes. Still catching her breath, searching around the room, she didn't see the threatening figure of a snakelike man, appearing from the surrounding flames that she witnessed just moments before. Instead she saw only the worried expression of her best friend Sakura, who had instantly jumped out of her bed to see what was wrong with Lily. Still breathing deeply, Lily answered her friend's unspoken question with,
"It was just a nightmare, I guess."
Sakura pounced onto Lily's bed and wrapped her arms around her,
"You sure your ok Lil?"
The younger of the two nodded and opened her mouth to speak when a loud thud was heard from the floor below. The two girls glanced at each other curiously and jumped out of the four poster bed and raced for the bedroom door. Sakura got to it first and threw it open. She jumped down the first couple of steps in her pink cami and short night set. Lily followed her down the staircase, her long black silk nightdress flowing behind her. At the bottom of the stairs they saw two more figures. One standing in fits of laughter. The other sprawled all over the floor.
"Ella? Are you ok?"
As you probably already know, in any school or neighbourhood, you will find cliques and groups of friends. Well, Hogwarts was no different. And if you were in your fifth year of Hogwarts, you would know that four girls were inseparable. The girl lying at the bottom of the stairs was the oldest of the floor. She was also obviously the clumsiest. In fact, it was her being so outrageously clumsy that led her to being introduced to the other three girls. One day in third year, a Ravenclaw named Ella tripped on one of Hogwarts many staircases, breaking not just one of her ankles, but both of them. She was then admitted to the hospital wing and was placed in a bed beside a young Gryffindor, Lily Evans. She had been hit unfortunately by a curse, performed by a certain arrogant young male, which made rather large heart shaped spots erupt all over her face. The two girls soon hit it off, by slagging each other off, they became very close friends. Lily introduced the curly haired Ella to her other two friends Sakura and Tari. Ella had her own Ravenclaw friends, but she always made time for the Gryffindor girls and soon were inseparable.
"Yeh! I'm fine, both ankles are still intact" said Ella giggling at her own misfortune. She stood up, scraped her curly brown hair into a ponytail, she brushed the dust off her clothes and turned to Lily.
"Happy Birthday Lil!"
Lily grinned as she realised why Ella and Tari had turned up to Sakura's house in the middle of the night. It was to surprise her for her birthday which was the next day.
