Lily gazed around the common room. It was Christmas break, so most of the students where gone to spend time with their family. But there were still a few people hanging around. Her best friend, Ruth was reading by the warm, crackling fire, and a couple of other kids were playing wizards chess. The common room was decorated by mistletoe and holly leaves. A huge Christmas tree stood in the corner, with rich, dark green branches, and sparkly star ornaments. Her seat, which was right next to the fire, felt pleasantly warm. She sleepily blinked a few times while thinking, 'only two more days till Christmas.....'
Lily woke up to find Ruth standing over her, shaking her awake.
"Come on lil! You're gonna miss dinner!" Lilly slowly opened her eyes and looked at her friend, she had curly, dirty blonde hair, which she wore half up, and big blue eyes with long lashes. Willing herself awake, she pushed herself off the plushy chair and stretched. Ruth stood off to the side, impatiently tapping her foot, and checking her watch. Lily laughed as she stifled a yawn.
"Ugh! You awake yet?! Come on! I'm starving!" she pulled Lily's hand and led her out of the common room and into the hallway. Soon they were in the great hall, and Lily gasped in surprise. It was like, literally walking into a winter wonderland, however cheesy that might sound. The walls were covered with silver sparkles and strings of holly were bordering the room. About a dozen Christmas trees stood along the walls too, the biggest at the end near the professor's table, all with decorations like the tree in the gryffindor common room. Walking inside, she noticed there were several strategically placed mistletoe's, and the tablecloths where decorated with green and red. The hall was almost full, and she took her normal seat beside Ruth, and across from her other friend, Lupin. Lupin was sitting there, with his short light brown hair, and Lilly could see that he looked a bit sick.
"Lupin, are you feeling alright?" she asked, concerned. He gave a small smile and looked at her,
"Not so much, but I'll get better." She nodded, and looked on the right side of Lupin. Sitting there was Sirius, James best friend, and to the left of Lupin was James, who she detested. Next to James was Wormtail, a twitchy little guy that liked to hang out with bigger, more powerful people, or A.K.A, Sirius and James, the biggest pranksters in the school. Both of them had every girl fawning over them, James and his (in Lily's opinion) cocky attitude, blasting people he disliked because he was all tough (he played seeker), ruffling his hair because he liked it to look like he just got off his broomstick. Then there was Sirius, with big brown eyes and brown hair that fell near his eyes, and his lazy grin. He was just as bad as James though, his accomplice in crime. The four of them, James, Sirius, Lupin, and Wormtail call themselves the four Maurderare's (think I spelled that wrong), though Lilly had no idea why. They had all decided to spend Christmas vacation here too.
She was broken from her thoughts though, when Ruth waved her hands in front of her face.
"Lil! Earth to Lil! I was talking to you"
Lilly sheepishly smiled and softly mumbled, "sorry."
But just then, the headmaster, Professor Dumbledore, had stood up to indicate the start of dinner. A glorious meal appeared infront of everbody, whiping every thought on everyone's minds, but food.
Don't worry, this story's gonna go somewhere, remember to review! and i just started so it would really be nice if you gave me some advice for my format and stuff too :) thx!
