Hogsmeade Unexpected
Lilly quickly ran into the bathroom still grinning from ear to ear. She pulled off her nightgown and jumped into the shower. Turning the knob to hot.
'Spend all your time waiting for a second chance,
For a break that will make it ok,
Theirs always some reason to feel not good enough,
And its hard at the end of the day,
I need some distraction, oh beautiful release,
Memory seeps through my veins,
Let me empty, oh and weightless and maybe,
I'll find some peace tonight,
In the arms of the angels, far away from here,
From this dark cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear,
You were pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie,
In the arms of the angel,
May you find some comfort here….
She continued to sing as she rinsed her hair and stepped out of the shower. The mirror in front of her was foggy so she swiped at it with her empty and while rapping a towel around her. She ended the song and plopped a blue toothpaste covered toothbrush into her mouth. The toothbrush hung limp in her mouth as her hands twisted her wet hair into a tight French braid. She rinsed her mouth and brush and left the bathroom to walk to her wardrobe. A pair of white silk pants hung over her desk chair and she dug through her wardrobe for a shirt. At the back of the wardrobe she found a blue jean vest and a plain white t-shirt. She pulled these out and changed into her outfit. Sliding her glasses onto her face, Lilly left her room.
She left the Gryfindor common room, waving to the fat lady, and made her way down to the Great hall. As she sat down in her seat a large barn owl flew up to her. 'This is weird', she thought to herself, 'I never get mail accept on holidays'. The few people in the Great Hall watched her as she opened the letter.
Dear Lilly,
Me your father and petunia have left to go to Germany. We will not be home during Christmas vacation so you will have to stay at school. The reason we didn't wait for you to come home is that we thought you'd be to caught up in your studies. Sorry enjoy your Christmas vacation. We will send your gift when we get back.
Love,
Mum
Lilly stared angrily at the letter and threw it down on the table, causing the waiting owl to fly away. "How could they think I wouldn't want to go to Germany," she whispered. "They probably didn't want to waste money on me" She tossed the letter to the side and ate a quick breakfast.
The hall began to fill with children, Lilly was about o leave when Dumbledore stood up.
"Children may I have your attention, I would like to announce that we are going to have a Hogwarts trip today." The hall erupted in cheers as the headmaster continued. "The carriages are waiting out front for any who wish to attend, that is all," he ended as he sat down.
All the older students began rushing out of the hall, Lilly amongst them. She ran to the nearest carriage which was occupied by a single black haired girl. "Umm, excuse me," Lilly began, "do you mind if I sit here." "Oh no, make your self comfortable," the girl replied. "By the way I'm Lee Kaley," the girl said offering her hand to Lilly. Lilly shook it, "I'm Lilly Evans nice to meet you." The girls had a light conversation on their trip to Hogsmeade.
When they reached the entrance the two got out. "So Lilly what are you going to do today?" Arabella asked. "Oh I think I'm gonna go to Florean Fortescues ice cream and then get me dress robes for the dance. The prefects have to go," "Oh well do you mind if I join you?" "Oh no not at all. Hey to make the fact that I must go to the dance more enjoyable will you hang with me while I'm there?" Lilly asked shyly. "Id love to I wasn't planning on going, but if your there, sure. Beats sitting alone in my room reading." The girls smiled at each other and walked off into the busy streets of Hogsmeade.
