The Long Haired Goblin
Lily woke up the following morning to an empty dormitory. She checked her watch and saw it was 10:30. She quickly got dressed and entered a busy Common Room, "Morning, Lily!" said Miranda excitedly, "We haven't got to know each other properly yet have we? Shall we go for a walk?" she grinned.
"Sure, why not!" Replied Lily, they left through the portrait hole and headed down to the Great Hall to catch the end of breakfast. "G' Morning, Lily! How's yer first sleep, eh?" Boomed Hagrid as Lily and Miranda dug in to the last portion of Sausages and Fried eggs on the Gryffindor table. "Fine thanks Hagrid, I was going to come and see you later, by the way, this is Miranda!" Replied Lily with her mouth full of Black Pudding. "I taugh' Miranda's Father, he was a year younger than Harry! Paul Newham righ'?" said Hagrid, Miranda nodded and some baked beans ran down her chin. "Come down my Hut later, alrigh'? Around six by the Great Hall?" Hagrid whispered in Lily's ear, letting Miranda hear. Lily nodded and smiled as Hagrid stomped his way out of the hall. After Miranda drunk the rest of her Pumpkin Juice, they left the Hall and found a long haired Goblin standing in the Entrance Hall with McGonagall and Professor Longbottom, Lily and Miranda tip toed over into earshot behind a Pillar, "So that's settled? I use the room on the sixth floor on the right hand side? It's definitely vacant and secret?" the little goblin whispered. The two professors nodded as he hobbled up the stairs to the sixth floor.
As McGonagall and Longbottom walked out to the grounds, Lily and Miranda creeped up the stairs behind the short man. Every so often, he would grunt at children who were staring at him. Once he reached the 5th floor, he looked behind and spotted Lily, "What are you doing HERE?" he shouted at her.
"Just going to meet one of my teachers." Replied Lily, Miranda hadn't revealed herself yet and wasn't planning on it. "This floor is in disuse for now, girl. So is the 6th floor, if you're looking for Ancient Runes or Muggle Art, they're now being taught in the great hall. Even though it's Saturday. Now, go!" he screeched. Lily ran off, shortly followed by Miranda.
"What do you thinks going on?" Miranda said quietly as they walked back to the great hall to meet Hagrid, it was five to six according to Lily's watch, so they ran the rest of the way. "Alrigh' Lily, Alrigh' Miranda?" he said. They both nodded. As they entered the warmth of the small hut, it was dim-lighted and had a bright orange Pumpkin patch outside, right on the border of a dark forest. They sat down and Hagrid handed them both a cup of Tea. "Hagrid, Who was the long haired Goblin in the entrance hall earlier today?" asked Lily.
Hagrid sighed at the question, "Yer just like yer father!"
Hagrid began speaking, when Angelica Andrews burst through the door, "MURDER!" She screamed, and she collapsed into Hagrid's pile of blankets.
