A/N: keep reviewing I love you guys.
"Where Is It?!" Molly was tearing franticly through her trunk.
"Where's what?" asked Sophie yawning from the four-poster next to Molly's. She looked over at the clock, "Mol, it's 6:30. Can what ever it is wait until a decent hour?"
"My picture," Molly pleaded with her, looked around to make sure no one else was awake and then continued, "of Lily and me. It's gone."
"It'll turn up," Sophie rolled over, "no one else can look at it without the password anyway."
"That's not the point," Molly huffed at her friend who was now sleeping again. Molly flipped through every one of her books again just to make sure the picture wasn't hidden between the pages. When she was satisfied that the picture was not there she repacked the trunk and pulled on her sweater and jeans. There was no way she could go back to sleep at this point. She headed down to the common room to wait for Arthur to ask him if he had seen it.
She would have a while to wait. It was Saturday and most of the other Gryffindors were having a lie in. This was after all the first day of the Christmas hols. Most of them would be leaving in a few hours to go home. But she had decided to stay at school once again. Not that she wouldn't have been welcome at home this year, she just didn't want to spend her whole holiday pretending that Lily didn't exist. Besides, Arthur had decided to stay too. They weren't exactly a couple at the moment. After the whole incident with Lucius she didn't think she wanted a boyfriend for a while. But, Arthur was a great friend. He respected that she needed some time and a little space right now.
Around 8:00 people started to shuffle around trunks were pulled down the stairs. Bathroom and Dormitory doors were opened and slammed shut again.
At about 8:30, Sophie found Molly dozing on the sofa in front of the fire, "Oh there you are. So did you find it?"
"No." Molly mumbled.
"Oh well, I can't help you look for it now. I'm going home you know."
"Yeah I know."
"Look Mol, It'll turn up," Sophie patted her shoulder reassuringly.
"Thanks." Molly tried to smile unconvinced.
Finally Arthur came down the boys staircase headed for the prefects bathroom. "Hey." He smiled joyfully at Molly and Sophie and kissed the top of Molly's head.
"Hi," Sophie smiled back.
Molly looked up at him and asked what she had wanted to all morning, "Have you seen the picture of Lily and I? I can't find it anywhere."
Arthur shot a worried look at Sophie who shrugged, "I-it'll turn up." He sounded like he was trying to convince himself as much as Molly.
"Yeah, that's what she said," Molly frowned.
