Announcements
Lily woke up to her room mates bickering. 'Do they always have to fight?' she asked herself, then laughed 'of course they're twins.' Lily opened her curtains and got out of her bed. The sisters took no notice of her and continued on with their fight. Lily looked at the girls with her shimmering green eyes. Lily, when standing next to them was rather short, she was only 5' 5" and while they were 5' 11". Lily listened to their argument, and like always it was about the way Tala, one of the sisters, dressed.
"Why do you have to be such a tomboy? You do know that skirts are part of the school uniform?" said Britney. She had long blonde hair. Her light green eyes stared sternly at her twin.
"Why? The last time you talked me into wearing a skirt, I broke my nose. Plus I like to stand out!" Tala exclaimed running a hand through her orangish brown hair. Tala and Britney looked exactly alike besides their hair color.
"More like blending in with the guys, and why would breaking your nose matter? You go out with you stupid bat and hit Quffales at Quidditch practice." Britney said.
"First, it's called a Bludger. Second, I have never broken my nose in Quidditch, and breaking your nose hurts like a mother." Tala said.
"Will you two shut up for a minute, I'm getting a headache." Lily exclaimed.
"Lily your Head Girl, are girls required to wear skirts?" Tala asked. She was wearing what the guy's normally wore. Her hair was cut just above her chin, and had more of an athletic figure. While her sister wore the girl's uniform, even her make-up matched with her light gold eye shadow. Her long blonde hair was pulled up in a ponytail. These two girls were the complete opposite.
"It's not required but it is highly recommended." Lily stated getting her own uniform on.
"But Lily, look at her she looks like a guy. She'll never get a boyfriend looking like that." Britney whined.
"What makes you think I would want a boyfriend? All they would do would hold me back. Like in Quidditch, I don't want to get distracted. I don't need to impress anybody," (which she didn't have to do because she was already impressing some of the professional teams with the other bleater on the team, which you get to find out who that is later -) "and in school I need to get good grades. You have a boyfriend and look at your grades. Now if you don't mind I am going to see what my other friends are doing at Hogsmeade today." And with that she made her way down to the common room.
"Agh! She's impossible! How could you not want a boyfriend? They so do not hold you back." Britney said checking herself in the mirror again. "So are you and James getting together, you guys would look so cute together."
"Yuck! I have never met a bigger git in my life." Lily replied quickly. "Do you have to ask me that everyday?"
"Of course," Britney said shrugging her shoulders. "Let's go downstairs." She said making her way out of the dorm. Lily quickly followed. She was about to come out of the stairwell when an arm blocked her path.
"Oh my sweet Lily Flower, let me honor you by taking you to Hogsmeade today." Lily looked up to see James. He looked a little taller than the twins, his hazel colored eyes looked down at her through his square glasses. His other hand ran through his raven colored hair making it more unruly.
Lily rolled her eyes, "Potter will you go chase some other girl, maybe one that actually likes to be around you?" she said ducking under his arm. Lily walked into the common room noticing Tala sitting on the floor playing wizard's chess with Sirius. He was about James' height. His hand ran through his shaggy dark brown hair in concentration. His warm gray eyes were watching for her next move. "Oh Sirius, looks like you losing again." Lily said sitting down, just as Tala took his bishop.
"Check" Tala said watching Sirius check his next move. "Sirius hurry up I would like to finish the game before noon!" she said impatiently.
"Hold your horses woman." Sirius said before ordering his knight to block her queen, which she quickly took and he was in checkmate. (I don't know anything about chess so don't kill me if this isn't possible) "Damn, can anybody beat you?"
"Well yeah my dad used to beat me all the time, he taught me how to play." Tala mumbled. "Hey were did Brit go?" Tala asked quickly changing the subject (cough hint hint cough)
"She just left for Hogsmeade with Steven." Lily said standing up. "I think I'm gonna go see if Astra is ready to go" Astra was a Ravenclaw 7th year, and Lily's best friend. "Oh look at the announcement board." She said before walking out of the common room.
Tala walked over to the announcement board and groaned. "There is a costume ball on Halloween, and 5th, 6th, and 7th years are required to go. Everybody has to dress up and have a mask on, and you can't reveal yourself to anyone until 2 a.m. That is when the ball is over." Remus and Peter walked out of their dorms, as she said this. The boys didn't seem too excited about this news either.
"Why do we have to go? They can't force us, can they?" Peter piped in. Peter was the shortest of the four boys; he was also a little pudgy. His bright blue eyes looked around energetically. He also had blonde hair.
"Well it also says that those who attend don't have to go to classes the next day." Remus said looking over Tala's shoulder. Remus was taller than Tala but not by much. His amber eyes looked alert all the time, and his shaggy light brown hair hung around his face.
"Sounds good enough for me lets go get our costumes." Sirius said grabbing a hold of James and Tala (they were the two that was closest) and quickly drugged them out of the common room.
