A/N: Woah, already 5 follows?! That's amazing, so thank you! I'm getting busier so I may not be able to post as often, as track season is starting up. Still, you guys are cool. Also, woop! 10 chapters!
Allison thought day and night about Snape's guilty eyes, and although she didn't let on, the young girl had sincerely felt remorse for the boy. Perhaps it was the nasty people he hung around, or the dark aura that enveloped him lately, but Allison wasn't about to talk to him soon.
She still hung around Lily, and her friends, spending time around the corridors of Hogwarts. When Halloween finally rolled around, Hogsmeade also opened it's doors to students on weekends. Of course, like any reasonable girl, Allison went with Lily and company, with the included company of James Potter.
"Potter? What are you doing here?" She asked the boy one afternoon as they sit, drinking butterbeer in the Hog's Head.
He responded with a careless grin to Lily, who flushed, as he replied, "Lilybug and I are dating, now!" Oohs and aahs echoed around the table. While Alice and Frank weren't there, having both forgotten their Transfiguration essays, instead were a boy going by the name Sawyer Jackson, and a younger girl by the name Olivia Portmen.
Sawyer was a strange lad, who had an undying interest in anyone who would love him, regardless of gender. He didn't know what to call it, only referring him to be an "any" guy. He was loud and proud, and had a tendency to be rather flamboyant at times unneeded, but sweet deep down. Olivia on the other hand was a very quiet girl. She hadn't dated anyone, as far as Hogwarts has known, and she wasn't very interested in anyone, instead choosing a good read rather than a Quidditch game.
Overall, their friend circle had grown rather large, despite losing a member just last month. Although Halloween wasn't celebrated much by dressing up in England, Hogwarts not included, Sawyer had managed to convince Olivia into a rather pretty muggle fairy costume, himself in a flourish of shiny silver armor.
Allison felt herself smile, as she slipped into bed, Halloween just around the corner.
