Chapter 4
Lily deftly swept up her red hair into a tight ponytail as she draped her prefect cloak over the seat.
"Say, where is Bella.late again?" Estrella faked an elaborate sigh, "My, my, when will she ever learn."
As if on cue, a seemingly tousled Arabella Figg turned up at the doorway of the compartment and smirked, "Right on time. The train hasn't set off yet."
Lily looked up and saw her other best friend. Giving a delighted squeal, she ran towards Arabella and enclosed her in a tight hug, and so did Estrella for the matter.
Arabella had straight honey blond hair which fell softly to her shoulders and of the three, she was the tallest. And even though she adored the outdoors, she never did manage to get a tan. Blonde and leggy you could say.
Flicking her blonde hair over her shoulders, Bella plonked down on a cushioned seat and started digging through her cloak. She had gone on a holiday to Paris, and had gotten her two best friend gifts.
After handling one of them to Estrella, she held a small but exquisite crystal swan beyond Lily's reach and demanded teasingly, " So, I heard you are Gryffindor prefect. why is it I wasn't informed?"
"Well, just didn't want to interrupt your little summer fling," Lily made a grab for the swan and peered closely. "Wow, this is . thanks Bella."
"I was being nice and there you were keeping little secrets from me," Bella gave a high sob.
Both Lily and Estrella giggled, Bella could be quite a comedian when she wanted to be.
"So cut the drama and tell us about the cute guys," Estrella piped.
"Well.there was this guy, kinda -"
Bella's description was cut off by Lily's sudden shriek, "Oh my! I'm going to be late for the prefect's meeting. gotta run, bye, see ya."
Lily made a wild grab for the prefect's cloak and her purse before dashing through the door.
The two friends could just shake their head knowingly at Lily's behaviour.
"But Lily, there's still half an hour," Estrella tried
"No time Ez, first impression counts a lot," came Lily's reply while the girls burst out laughing.
That was just Lily.
