Lindsay had a big smile on her face, and seemed to be in a rather cheery
mood.
"Sit down" Nicole said gesturing towards the chair. Lindsay sat down
beside them, and immediately began eating. She grabbed another piece of
toast and shoved it into her moth. Nicole burst out laughing
"What?" Lindsay asked through a mouthful.
"Why are you so hungry?" Nicole asked.
"Oh" she said covering her mouth. "Just hungry I guess."
Alyssa rolled her eyes.
"Are you new?" she asked.
"Yeah" Lindsay said after swallowing. "I came here from France"
Alyssa nodded.
"Cool, where in France?"
"Ummm" she said looking at her watch. "Oh crap I have to go."
She got up from where she was sitting, and was getting ready to leave
"Nice meeting you" Lindsay said
"Yeah you too" Nicole said as Lindsay was leaving.
"I guess I'd better go too" Lily said. "Potions you know?"
"Right" Nicole said.
* * * * * * * * After school Lindsay met up with Lily and Nicole, and they went to dinner, and the Great Hall was decorated as it usually was. James and Sirius were again torturing Snape with a convulsion spell. Snape's arms and legs were flailing everywhere, and Peter and Remus were standing there just watching with nothing to say. Lily ran up to James and Sirius yet again furious. "Why do you have to torture him. What did he ever do to you?" Lily asked James replied with a wide grin on his face. "He was born" "Let him down right now" she said. James released a spell, and Snape stood up staggering and his eyes looking as though they were about to roll to the back of his head. He said down, and then his head plopped down into his mashed potatoes. James gave a short laugh, and said "Hey Snivelus, you're lucky Evans was here weren't you?" Lily rolled her eyes, punched him in the shoulder and sat back down with her friends. "He's such an idiot" Nicole said, her eyes darting to Sirius. "I know" Lily said, shaking her head "There's just no convincing them" Lily sighed, and then got up from the table. "I'll see you later" Lindsay nodded.
* * * * * * * * During the course of the next couple of days, Lindsay gathered with Lily, Nicole and Alyssa and seeing each other more often. Alyssa was sprawled out on her bed with a piece of parchment and a quill in front of her. Her hair was back in a low ponytail, and it was sitting on her shoulder. Lily came in and Alyssa drew her attention to her. "What's up?" she asked continuing to write. "Not much" Lily said sitting down on her bed in front of her. "You?" "I'm writing a letter to my mother" she replied in a hushed voice. Lily sighed, and then Nicole came into the room "Well it's a little boring in here don't you think?" she said with a short laugh. Alyssa looked up yet again. "I though you were with Lindsay" Lily said. "Nah, she wanted to go to bed. So what are you writing?" she asked looking at the folded piece of parchment. "I'm writing a letter to my dad, and I was just going to go to the owlry? She said sticking the envelope in an envelope and sealing it. "Care to join me?" she asked sitting up. She began walking out, and Nicole and Lily followed her. She took the sealed envelope to the owlery, and unlocked the cage of one of the school owls that was flapping its wings madly. She tied the envelope to its leg, and it flew out into the distance. "Alright" Nicole said. "Let's get back. I still have some chocolate frogs Berty Botts every flavour beans which I am determined to eat right now." Alyssa rolled her eyes, and they went back to the dormitory. * * * * * * * * The next morning Lily got out of bed to see the sun shining through her window. It was Saturday, so she decided to lay in bed until she absolutely had to get up, and she did. Alyssa, Nicole and Lindsay came into her room dressed and ready, and they all sat on her bed. Alyssa shook her. "Come on Lily get up!" Lily moaned. "Why?" "Because today we're going to Hogsmeade if you haven't forgotten." Lily sprang out of bed, and rummaged through her trunk for something to wear. She grabbed a pair of navy blue robes and changed quickly. She was ready within ten minutes, and Nicole was curled up on the floor almost dying of laughter. Alyssa was pointing at her, bent over and holding her stomach. "Come on" Lily said urging them to come. "What the hell is so funny" Lily's hair was dangling in front of her face. "I have never in my life seen you so spaztic!" Nicole said between short gasps of air. Lily giggled. "Is that so? Come on lets get out of here, and pull yourselves together." After the laughter subsided, they made there way to Hogsmeade and entered the Three Broomsticks. There was a massive crowd of Hogwart's students lined up for a butter beer, so Lily took a seat at a table in the far corner. James, Sirius, Remus and Peter were sitting across from them sipping their drinks, and laughing hysterically. Lindsay looked over to Remus with a strange glare. "Who's that?" she asked pointing to Remus. "Oh him?" Lily asked. "He's the headboy for Gryfindor. His name's Remus Lupin." Lindsay continued to stare at him. "Who's that girl he's sitting with over there?" she asked. Lindsay was pointing to a girl with caramel blond hair, just below her shoulders and gleaming blue eyes. "Her?" Lily asked. "That's Remus' girlfriend. Her name's Stephanie Parker. The girl had just spit out some of her drink when James made a wisecrack about Sirius. Peter was sitting quietly without saying a word, but laughing silently to himself as James continued. "You don't want to hang out with them though. They're all a bunch of wise asses." She said. The line died down a bit so Lily and Lindsay stood in line. Lindsay was still staring at Remus though. "What is it?" Lily asked. "Who are you looking at?" Lindsay's eyes darted back to Lily. "Oh nothing" she said. "She stared off into space again. "I'll get you yours" Lily said to Alyssa and Nicole. They both nodded "Thanks" Lily came to the front of the line after about fifteen minutes. "Three butterbeers" she said, while she dug into her pocket for some money. Lily put it on the table, and the cashier took it. Lily and Lindsay grabbed the drinks, and brought them back to the table to sit down. "What do you think they're laughing about?" Alyssa asked, as James fell off his chair. "They're probably making some more wise cracks about Snape again" Nicole replied. "So..the Halloween ball is coming up in a month. Got any plans?" Lindsay started. "No idea" Lily giggled. "I don't usually plan too far in advance. What about you?" "Possibly" Lindsay said, peering over her shoulder again to look at Remus. He had just stopped laughing and punched James in the shoulder. "What do you mean Possibly?" Nicole asked. "It's still two weeks away." Lindsay shrugged. "I don't know" Alyssa took one more sip of her butterbeer before it was empty. "You done?" she asked hesitating to stand up. Lily looked up at her. "Oh..yeah" she said, slipping out of a daze, "What about you two?" Lindsay and Nicole nodded, and stood up to grab their coats. "You guys want to come with me to get some chocolate frogs, and stuff?" Nicole asked, after they got outside. "No thanks" Alyssa said. "I think I'll just wait out here. What about you?" she asked Lindsay. "Sure" she said. Lily followed Nicole into the shop. "So." Alyssa began. "So."Lindsay trailed off. There was an awkward silence until Lily and Nicole came out of the shop giggling madly. They paused for a moment and then looked at each other again, and giggled "Oh god." Alyssa shook her head. "What did you do this time?" Lily was still laughing hunched over as though she was about to vomit. Nicole had leaned over her and her hand was over her mouth. "Whoo!" she said, sighing and letting out one last short laugh. When the laughter subsided, Lily looked at Lindsay for a short moment with a wide grin on her face. Her eyes then shot down to the ground again. "Would you mind telling us what the hell is so funny that it would make both of you look like complete and total idiots?" Nicole and Lily looked over at each other and then looked back at Lindsay. "There was a man in the shop, and we noticed that one of his eyes were really shiny" Lily explained, with an expression, which told them she was about to burst once again. "yes." Alyssa said. "Come on. Spit it out." We figured that he had a glass eye, considering the difference. So Lily reached into her pocket to grab some money out of her robes, and that's when it." Lily burst out laughing again. "Well.the man looked at us for a moment, and it looked as though one eye was growing bigger than the other. It popped right out of the socket and hit Lily in the head. She jumped so much that she fell back into the store shelf." Lindsay covered her mouth, as Lily's cheeks reddened, and she fell on the ground giggling. Lindsay sighed inconspiciously, and shrugged. "We'd better get back" she said, staring at her watch. Lily stood up, and walked feebly a couple of steps. "What time is it?" she asked, helping Nicole up off of her feet. "It's two" Lindsay said shivering. "what's wrong?" Lily asked rubbing Lindsay's back. "Nothing" She said, quickening her pace. "It's just the cold air is all"
* When they arrived at the school, Remus, James and Sirius was already there. It appeared as though Remus was quite into a make out fest with Stephanie. Lindsay just looked away, cringing. "ew!" Alyssa said looking at them. "That's so gross! It's like.they're meshed together or something" Lily laughed. "I wonder when they'll find eachothers' faces" "Yeah.it's like they're the seven eleven or something.."Nicole trailed off. She paused for a moment. "Their mouths never close" Lily entered the doors of the great hall first. It was nearing the end of October, which meant that the Halloween ball was approaching. The aroma of pumpkin pie and cinnamon filtered through her nose, as her and Nicole took a seat beside each other. Lindsay and Alyssa sat down opposite to them. Nicole groaned, and banged her head lightly against the table. "Need..hot..bath" she groaned. Alyssa tore a drumstick off of the warm juicy turkey, and bit into it.
