Sorry the last one was so short, I originally intended for this to be the
first chapter, but I wanted a short prologue, so that was it. Hope you
enjoy this one! R/R!

Elisa, Corinne, Lorelei and Lindsay sat at the Gryffindor table of the Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Elisa sat, applying layer upon layer of mocha lip-gloss. Lindsay was scribbling something on her napkin and singing under her breath. Lorelei clutched her knife in one hand and threw threatening glances over at the Slytherin table, and Corinne was devouring plates of bacon and eggs and cups of coffee. As she started to butter some toast, she shook her friends out of their trances and said, "I think we should ask out our guys". At that moment she chanced a look at the Slytherin table when she thought nobody was looking, to Lucius Malfoy, who she had liked for years. She knew her friends would hate the idea of her going out with a Slytherin, so she never bothered to mention it to them.
Lorelei was just about to throw her knife Malfoy, (she had a habit of using her utensils as weapons against the Slytherins) when Corinne grabbed the knife and plopped it into her now-empty coffee cup. Lorelei glared again at Malfoy, who was sitting next to Severus Snape, and said darkly, "that's not gonna stop me". Elisa finally put her gloss back in her bag and questioned, "What guys? We don't have guys."
"We've been at this school how long?" retorted Corinne, thankful for an excuse to take her longing eyes off Lucius. "Five years! And we've liked the same guys, for five years! Don't you think it's time we do something about it?
"Well what can we do, Corinney?" Lorelei asked, using Corinne's nickname. "They're the guys, they should ask us out."
"Coming from the hopeless romantic," interjected Lindsay, looking up from the poem she was writing.
Lorelei gave her a look, but Corinne continued before the two could start fighting. "You know that the next Hogsmeade weekend is this Saturday...so I was thinking..."
"No, no no, I am not about to ask out a guy. I am the girl, and yes, maybe old-fashioned, but I still want to be asked out because that's the way it's supposed to be."
"Oh c'mon, Lor, I mean..." she looked around for inspiration and saw Sirius Black and James Potter high five each other at the end of the table. "You go on and on about Sirius, and you too Elisa, the same thing with James, but you never did anything about it! And you know that Remus so has a thing for you, Lindz!"
The three girls in question all looked slightly pleased with themselves for several seconds. Corinne decided to continue now while they were in a good mood. "C'mon, we're modern, mature women, we can ask a guy out." They all gave her a look, and finally Elisa asked, "Well ok then, but who are you asking out?"
"Oh, I don't really know yet, but I'll find someone,' she tried to say casually, as she once again grabbed Lorelei's knife from her threatening fist.
