A/N: Okay my little readers; this is chapter eleven of my hobbity little fic. Read on, read on!
DISCLAIMER: I do not now, nor have I ever gained any profit from the publication of this fanfiction, nor do I claim to own Harry Potter, any of the settings or characters from the book. I technically own Kayla, but her mother belongs to the wonderful JK (see OotP). So, nobody sue me because I am not deluded enough to even TRY to claim even partial ownership of anything from Harry Potter, it's too well known.
Chapter Eleven'Lily, we're going natural. It's not a fancy party, just a few friends, and we're not having it in the common room, we're having it in the Room of Requirement. And it's a surprise for you, so have your hair in a style that won't get wrecked too badly by a blindfold.' Laura's velvety soft voice resounded in the gold and white bathroom that the seventh year girls shared. 'We'll meet you outside the portrait hole, okay?' The two girls left quickly, Lily could hear them whispering on the steps down to the common room.
Although Lily had left the dorm, there were still five girls in there. Laura, Kayla, Jenny, Isadora and Nicholle. Diane – Lily's other friend – is in Ravenclaw.
Laura was an average height, slightly plump, but still gorgeous girl with olive skin and honey brown hair that was layered around her face and fell to her elbows, dead straight. During the summer she had put blonde streaks and highlights through it, making her look even more stunning than usual. Her eyes were oval and a lovely hazel colour with flecks of yellow prominent through out them.
Laura was a half-blood witch, her mother being Sirius' mother's cousin or something like that, and her father being a muggle. He knew about her mother's witchcraft since before they went out due to the fact that they were neighbour's and became best friends, so she had confided in him about being a witch. Laura always thought of how her parents got together to be like a fairy tale… literally falling for the girl/boy next door. Cliché or what? But "incredibly romantic" she would gush.
Kayla was tall, stick thin and had very short black and white patched hair. She spiked it up all over her head and had definite white and black squares of hair. She had more piercings than any other person Lily had seen in her life. She had seven on one ear, five on the other, her eyebrow done, her nose, her lip, her tongue and her belly. She often said, "the only thing stopping me getting my nipple done is the fact that I lack breasts to be able to show them off on", so there was no doubt in anyone's mind that she would be more than willing to get it done. She had bright, amber eyes that always sparkled and thick, dark lashes setting off her look.
Kayla was the nicest girl in the school, and a pureblood. The Hufflepuffs looked up to her, and the Slytherins respected her. She had qualities no one else could seem to possess. She had the finesse and class of a well brought up young lady, and yet swore, got drunk and partied like a middle class whore. But even when she was acting like a slut, she still managed to look gorgeous – in that way only she could manage. Her father was head of the Department of Mysteries and her mother was Ministress for Magic. Her family was one of the most respected among the wizarding communities. However, she despised her aunt on her mother's side, and her two dastardly sons, especially Rodolphus. Luckily, he had left Hogwart's already.
Isadora was a very short muggle born, like Lily, but that was their only similarity. Where Lily was tall, Isadora was short, were Lily was graceful, Isadora was clumsy. You get the picture, they were opposites. Nothing about them was the same. Isadora had no special talents and could barely transfigure a rat into a teacup.
Jenny was a very athletic pureblooded witch, with very pureblooded ideals. She had perfectly straight, shoulder length, platinum blonde hair, crystal blue eyes, a brilliant tan from sun baking in summer and skiing in winter. However, despite her pureblood ideals, she wasn't a complete bitch to Lily or Isadora, instead adopting the way of ignoring them completely, as if they weren't really there. This of course left her with only…
Nicholle. Quite often described as the sexiest female Hogwarts had ever seen. She had strawberry blonde curls that reached down to her hips, sparkling champagne eyes, a beautiful complexion, and a body that left most guys running to the bathrooms after she walked past. To top it all off, she was a pure blood, so none of the pure blooded males felt any guilt about fantasizing about what she was like in bed. Not that many had to fantasize, she was well known for the way she changed guys in Hogwarts more often than the bed sheets were changed. She was also the biggest bitch Hogwarts had ever seen, making it so all the guys craved her, and all the girls craved to be her.
So that made up the girls in the seventh year dormitory. And when everyone was in there, it could be quite scary and the echoes of their shrieks could be heard down in the common room, and so common were these fights that many of the students had learnt to tune out the sounds of the yelling, screaming, furniture breaking and more shrieks coming from the girls.
Nicholle walked into the dorm at this precise moment in time as Lily was applying some pearl luster to her lips. Jenny hurried in after her and closed the door with a snap.
Nicholle, never one to pass up an opportunity to be a bitch strolled up to Lily with the air of someone overly conceited.
She scrunched up Lily's hair and twisted it around a bit. 'You know, Evans, no matter how much make-up or hair products you have, you can never hide the mud, if you know what I mean,' she said significantly.
A light blush rose in Lily's cheeks.
'Ignore her, ignore her, ignore her, ignore her,' she muttered to herself. She couldn't afford to do something rash, not now that she was Head Girl, she couldn't risk losing her badge.
'As much as I'm sure I'd learn from a beauty sessions with Hogwarts' resident slut, I do have somewhere I need to be, so, if you please, perhaps we could continue this at a later time,' Lily suggested in a falsely bright voice.
She hurried down the corridor and down the stairs. As she was briskly crossing the common room, following the wall, an arm shot out in front of her, barring her path.
She looked up into the dazzling smile of Thomas Franklin.
'About time!' Kayla exclaimed as Lily scrambled through the portrait hole five minutes later.
'Sorry!' Lily breathed. 'Nicholle decided to try to give me styling tips.' She rolled her eyes and walked off down the corridor with Kayla and Laura.
'Nicholle has… style?'
'Apparently more than I do,' said Lily, nonchalantly.
When they reached the space of empty wall on the seventh floor that was home to the Room of Requirement, they found that there was a door there already.
'Okay, Lils, turn around.' Lily turned her back and bent at the knees to allow Kayla to tie the silk scarf around her eyes.
Lily heard the door creak open and muffled voices as feet shuffled around.
Next thing she knew she was thrown into a room, landing on cushions and hearing the sound of a key scraping in a lock as the heavy door was slammed closed.
She ripped off the blindfold and beat and kicked the door, swearing violently.
A voice behind her made her freeze and turn slowly.
'Hello, Lily… '
A/N: WOOHOO! Who's in the room with her? As if you can't guess! Okay, so in this chapter I have the character Jenny named after the wonder reviewer who first guessed the plot of this chapter right. Anyway… was that a cliffie or not? I hope so! I wanted to leave a cliffie for you all, and then to tell you all regretfully that I won't be updating much for two weeks because I have a Japanese student coming from all the way over from Japan to Australia, so it limits my free time enormously. However, I will upload a few chapters when she leaves to make up for your deprivation. Please, read and review, and continue leaving plot ideas! So far I haven't really been given plot ideas, and I've written up to chapter 17 or so, but I'm running out of things to happen. I need IDEAS people. IDEAS!! So help me create. Creativity is important!
