Author's Note: Hey this is Sarah your Beta-come-author! Woohoo! I have no
idea where I'm going with this as of yet, but I'm sure I'll figure
something out soon enough! Happy Reading!

Shutting up now...

For the remainder of the trip Lily stayed curled up in the corner of the compartment pressed against the window reading a stupid teen magazine.
Lily wasn't aware that she had two sets of eyes frequently gazing upon her. James and Remus were both concerned with Lily for the obvious reasons. There were a few uncomfortable moments where the boys' eyes met and they shifted uncomfortably before looking away.

The students made their way inside the huge oak doors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry after arriving on the thestral-pulled carriages. The merged groups of students accompanying Lily laughed about nothing in particular as they entered the Great Hall and sat down to wait for the official routine to be completed before they could begin the feast.
Once the students had settled into their seats, they noticed the absence of all teachers except for an impatient looking Professor McGonagall. Hushing quickly, expecting there to be some disaster, they collectively looked up at the Professor.
Giving a disapproving sigh, McGonagall announced: "Your headmaster has decided that he would like to take advantage of the uncustomary atmospheric conditions of this annual time, and hold the sorting and feast as a twilight sustenance consumption outing." The students blinked at her words and remained silent. Professor McGonagall gave a small smile and said: "A picnic, children."
Brightening up at once, the Great Hall filled with happy chatter and some with disapproving muttering. The latter was mostly being issued from the Slytherin table.
"Now if all the students except the first years make their way orderly outside to the lawns near greenhouse 3, Professor Dumbledore and the remaining staff will be waiting for you. There are no seating arrangements other than a particularly large quilt your headmaster so kindly decorated with his latest fascination; Muggle microphones and breakfast moveable feast, Poptarts." Said McGonagall in a slightly amusedly bitter tone.
The school, save the first years, made their way excitedly outside and around to the greenhouses where they saw their teachers gathered, some looking uncomfortable, around a large circular table. A dark haired Professor Flitwick had charmed tiny glowing fairies all around the court and Lily could see some complicated looking devices which appeared to be keeping insects at bay.
There were four large buffet styled tables, coloured red, green, yellow and blue, spaced adequately around the quilt. There were also some neat little snack platters scattered randomly around the quilt to be enjoyed during the sorting and official speeches.
Professor Dumbledore stood up and smiled grandly. "Sonorus" he said quietly to himself, and his voice was magically amplified. "Welcome students, please sit down in any desired position on our wonderfully decorated mackinaw! The sorting will resume shortly then we can begin our well-due feast." He said before cast a look over to Professor McGonagall who had just lead the peaky looking first years into the vicinity.
"Wonderful!" Beamed Dumbledore taking in the appearance of his newest recruits with pride and anticipation. "Begin, Minerva." He said before reversing his self-amplification spell. ("Quietus")

Once 'Albuquerque, Bean' and 'Thomlinsonfield, Timmeh' had been sorted, all the students were invited to make their way to their respective buffet tables and begin their feast.
After stacking up their plates with delicious cold meats and salads, Lily and her friends made their way over the section of the quilt James' friends had occupied.
Lily had calmed down considerably since her episode on the train. She was talking spiritedly with Renee and occasionally sharing small smiles with Remus who was sitting deeply in thought, munching on a chilli dipped zucchini.

Authors Notes (again): I REALLY like fairies. I don't know if this was any good...It wasn't sposed to be a picnic. I just got bored with the oh-so-lame entering hall and sorting etc. Jade say picnic – Sarah dip zucchinis in chilli. Quite beautiful really. I think it was too short. But if you think that...dial 1800 – kiss my ass. I'm doing okay for a freakin' beta.
