Lily spent her Saturday morning sleeping in. She woke up a few times
that morning but rolled over and went back to sleep; she just wasn't
ready to give up the safety that was given while sleeping, such
comfort and relaxation was something the she was thankful she could
get. When she finally decided to get out of bed it was around 11 and
so she decided to find her friends, as soon as she had breakfast, or
lunch, or some sort of mixture of the two.
She got dressed and found her shoes, old and worn, with some holes
starting to form. She smiled at them, she needed knew shoes but these
where so comfortable, she knew them so well, how could she leave them
for new ones? She laughed to herself, "There's something wrong when
you love your shoes that much."
Her shoes were tied and she was ready to go. She peaked down the
stairs before going into the common room. Hardly anyone was there,
"Just the Marauders," she sighed under her breath, "Wait, not just the
Marauders, James, Remus, Sirius!"
She thought for a moment before continuing on her way. James and
Sirius are good friends with Remus. What if he told them what
happened, even if he did promise, what if. James would never, and
Sirius would tell Kaitlin, since they've been hanging out so much.
They're probably talking about me right now.
She stopped to listen, complete silence. Maybe not. I'm so paranoid.
Remus will keep his promise. No one will find out. It's fine, breathe,
ok.
She made her way down the steps and in to the common room. "Good
afternoon," James said smiling.
Lily laughed, "That's what my dad always says to me."
"You mean you sleep that long often?" Sirius asked.
"Yes," she nodded, "And now, if you'll excuse me, I need to find some
breakfast, or lunch."
She caught Remus's eye before turning; he nodded in acknowledgement. She crawled through the portrait hole, and made her way to the Great Hall. She found a seat at the Gryfindor table and began to fix her plate. Unfortunately, Amanda found her. "Hey Lily."
Lily didn't answer until she swallowed the very large bite of food in her mouth, "Hi."
"So what have you been up to?" Amanda asked, looking for conversation.
"Sleeping."
Amanda laughed annoyingly, "Are you going to the Halloween Dance?"
Lily nodded, "Are you?"
"Nah," Amanda replied, "I don't like dancing."
Lily smiled, "Oh, well then you probably wouldn't have much fun," she took another mouth full.
"Yeah," Amanda spoke slowly trying to keep the conversation going, "Are you going with anyone?"
"Well," Lily frowned, "For now I'm going with Kaitlin, unless of course I can manage to find myself a really date."
"Oh," Amanda replied, "I guess I might go if I could get a date."
"Anyone specific?" Lily asked.
"Well," she said, "Promise not to tell?"
"Of course," Lily said curious.
"Yeah, probably James Potter."
"Oh, I see," Lily said secretly disgusted.
"Yeah."
"Ok, well, I need to go find," she was going to say Kaitlin but realized she rather not at the moment. "Brooke."
She pushed her plate away and it became magically spotless, as it was when she entered. "Well, I have to go find Kaitlin," Amanda said.
"Oh," Lily was suddenly completely confused.
Lily left, and made her way toward the lake where she could almost always find her friends. And sure enough there they were, lying around talking. Lily joined them.
The weekend was over too soon as always for both the students and the teachers. Lily sat in the common room doing her defense against the dark arts homework. Kaitlin sat down beside her. "Hey you."
Lily looked up from her work, "Oh, hi," she smiled.
"Writing Club soon," she said, "Are you going to be ready?"
"Yeah, just a second. I'll walk up with you."
Lily closed her books and grabbed her notebook and quill and walked with Kailtin. "I'm so glad Amanda doesn't do Writing Club," Kaitlin sighed.
"Me too," Lily said, "She put her head on my shoulder in Care of Magical Creatures the other day."
Lily trembled at the memory. "She's been hanging out with me Sirius, I don't know how to make her stop."
"I don't know what to tell you."
They entered the room and the meeting started.
