Chapter Seven- The Trouble With Robes
200+ hits, thank you for that. Here's hoping that you enjoy the rest. Here's chapter seven, EverythingIsInspiration(Remy, Lily, Orion)
The castle in itself was mesmerising. The four tall towers, one in each corner, almost touched the clouds, dense forest surrounded the grounds and a huge lake glistened, reflecting the largest tower, which met its solid counterpart at the waters edge.
Thestrals were strange and mysterious creatures; yet had pulled the students in their carriages for longer than anyone could remember. Dutifully they pulled the passengers up to the castle's main door, allowing the students to go straight to the Great Hall and the welcome feast.
Lily hadn't seen James since he had stalked off at the station and she noticed that both Remy and Orion were looking for him too, they must really love that moron she thought.
'How long have you three known each other?' Lily enquired
'Our whole lives. My father and James' dad went to school together, Remy's father taught them.'
'Our father's all fallowed the same ways here, making as many adventures as possible. Of course it took Orion's father a while to grasp the concept.'
In the entrance hall, Lily noticed that those still there were giving her funny looks, before dashing to the hall to meet their friends.
'It's because you're with me' Orion jokingly assured her, which earned an exasperated groan from Remy.
Within moments they were the only students left in the high ceiling room. Heading for the Great Hall Remy asked,
'Where are your robes?'
'My what nows?'
'Your uniform Lily…'
'Oh. Haven't got one… I think. There might be something in my trunk. But that's… who knows where,' she shrugged, 'oh well!'
'Oh well!?! You can't go in looking like that! You need to be introduced to the school!'
'Why?'
'Well… Good question. Remy?'
'Are you two serious!?! It's the rules. I'm going to go and find James, work this out yourself.'
With Remy gone the two stood in silence for a while, pondering on exactly what he meant. That was, until Orion's stomach started rumbling.
Knowing that everybody would see them enter, as they would have to open the gigantic doors, with Lily out of uniform and being a girl walking in late with Orion Black was likely to get tongues wagging as it was.
Lily didn't know this of course, she had only met the guy an hour ago after all! But realising she would be the only one out of uniform would be attention grabbing, all she wanted was to get this over with a.s.a.p, she turned to her new friend for help.
Giving Lily his black robes, and waiting for her to put them on, led her slowly into the Great Hall, finding that all eyes were directed at… something else...
