Hehe, now chappie 5 (I will try to add at least one a week provided I get sufficient reviews, or review toll, henceforth referred to as RT. RT is not fixed. Maybe more, maybe less)
Thank ye reviewers, you know who you are…
Lily glared at the boy who pushed away Paulo, and got a good look at him in the process. He had messy black hair, and glasses. He was very tall. He was the same age as her- 11. He had an enormous gray owl on his arm, and it gripped on a piece of fur. He looked rich, as his pockets nearly split at the seams, weighed down as they were with Galleons. He flashed a brilliant smile at her and sat down. He smiled flirtingly and rumpled up his hair with a conceited nod of his head.
She returned with a glare, followed by an admiring glance at the majestic owl. Jessica rolled her eyes and snorted, obviously unimpressed. Magic, though, was very interested in the bird.
Noting Lily's admiring glances, the boy smiled. "She's a great gray owl, you see, a huge girl she is." That went without saying in Lily's mind. She was enormous yet beautiful, a masterpiece of an owl.
"Her name is Uretha. She was a present from my aunt, Aurelia Ken, for only eighty Galleons... Do you have a pet?"
She smiled, uncurling Magic from her shoulders.
The boy laughed. "A cat?"
"Yeah." She smiled wryly. Although she preferred Paulo for his general politeness and sweetness, this guy was not such a bad person, although she found him to be a bit conceited.
"She's beautiful." He sighed, staring at Magic, but seemed to wear a smirk for some odd reason.
"You really think so?"
"No. No animal on the planet could be as beautiful as Uretha!" Jessica bared her teeth.
Noting the furious dog, he breathed deep and sighed. "Sorry." He tried to sound sincere, and failed miserably.
"What is your name?" Asked Lily.
"James. James Potter."
Lily nodded.
"Why were you glaring at me before?"
"You pushed away Paulo."
"You like Paulo?"
"Yeah, as a friend. He's nice!"
"Yeah, that little ratboy- He's a Willard in the making, I mean come on!"
"Not true!"
"I bet you it is!"
"I'm not that stupid, Potter."
"How could any smart being ever like Paulo? He's a stupid crazy poor idiot! He has a rat! I'm betting that little weasel lives in the sewer with the rats!"
Her hands curled up into fists. Her green eyes blazed red, and she looked like a Christmas tree.
"That ugly little brat!" exclaimed James.
"He's better looking than you, slimeball!"
"Uh huh." He raised his eyebrows very high up his face, sarcastically.
Lily growled angrily. Sometimes the best way to express anger, Lily knew, was not always words, but a simple animal instinctive sound with a message clear as glass. At the same time, so Jessica growled at James also. Both rolled their eyes too. Magic saw what was coming and hopped into Lily's luggage.
Uretha sharpened her claws.
James smiled arrogantly.
Suddenly, he perked up. "Hey, we're here!"
Suddenly, a great voice of a character who looked like a fairy tale giant boomed out as she stepped out of the boat.
"Firs' years, firs' years over here! C'mon, follow me. Alright, Yeh'll get yer firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec," Hagrid called. "Jus' round this bend here. See those boats? No more'n four (or five) to a boat!"
She got in the closest boat, and then, although she was trying to signal Paulo, James got in, followed by a dark-haired boy who looked a little bit like a younger version of Johnny Depp (in costume for POC), a pale boy with wolf-gray hair, and a small mouse-brown haired boy with watery features. Then, with a lurch, without a propeller or oar, the boat started off on its own.
James broke into his first non-conceited smile.
The black-haired boy stared at the floor of the boat, while skimming his fingers on the water.
The wolf-gray haired boy stared in reverence at the brilliant half-moon, although cringing, as though the moon had hurt him.
The watery boy fell asleep, buckteeth evident, while snoring lightly.
Lily just stared at the beautiful fairy-tale castle, her new home.
It said in the 1st book that 20 Galleons paid for an extremely valuable unicorn horn, and that was expensive. Uretha was 4x as much!
Ok guys, here was an at least remotely longer chapter! Next chapter the sorting and finding out who she shares her dorm with, and after that, the Pranx really begin… :-) I want at least two reviews before I continue.
