Chapter 2
Cassidy's POV:
"Linds!! You're home!!!" I shrieked, running down the lawn to meet her as she climbed out of her dad's car.
"So, how was summer camp?" I asked, helping her with one of her bags. Lindsay had decided to try muggle sleep away camp for 2 weeks. I wanted to go too, but mum wouldn't let me. Figures.
"Cassi, did you notice my hair?" Lindsay asked, pointing to her long, straight black hair. I looked. Her long hair was now streaked with chestnut highlights. Lindsay was much more girly than I was, and our personalities are so different our parents say it's a wonder we're friends.
"Cool!!!" I said, falling behind and pulling it into a ponytail.
"So, I guess I'm staying the night, then?" She asked, as I kicked the front door open and we headed up to my room.
"Yup, and you can come with us to platform 9 and ¾ tomorrow also…don't worry, your parents will be there so you can say bye to them." I added, as she opened her mouth to speak.
"Kay…" she trailed off, taking in a deep breath.
"Yup, mum's making us chocolate chip cookies." I said, grinning as she threw her stuff on the floor. We headed downstairs to see if they were ready. Mum was standing at the counter, scooping large amounts of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet. Her curly auburn hair was pulled back into a ponytail at the nape of her neck, and her face and apron were covered in flour. She spotted us, and a smile spread across her face, illuminating the familiar joyous twinkle in her sparkling hazel eyes.
"Lindsay! It's so good to have you back! I don't think I could spend another second with those rowdy boys!" Said mum, giving Lindsay a hug.
"Shane and Austin? Rowdy? Never!" Lindsay replied, laughing.
"Oh, I'm just joking! Those two are the sweetest guys. Especially Austin." Said mum, laughing. At that, Lindsay gave me a sideways glance. See, Everyone thinks Austin is perfect for me. That we should get together and stuff like that. Even mum, but she knows I don't want to date, so she doesn't push it like everyone else. Key words: not as much.
"Did you hear that…erm…Austin broke up with Krystal?" Lindsay asked cautiously, taking a cookie from the tray mum just took out of the oven.
Can't everyone just let-it-go!
"Lindsay!!!" I whined, also grabbing a cookie.
"Oh, come on! Hermione, knock some sense into your daughter!" Said Lindsay, gesturing to me. Mum just grinned.
"I gave up a while ago." She said, washing her hands and face at the sink.
"You'd be perfect for each other!" Lindsay protested. I just rolled my eyes. How many times had I heard that? So many times I've lost count.
"Linds!!" I yelled the next morning, hitting her with my pillow. "Get up! Time to go!" She moaned, and sat up slowly.
"Ok, I'm up…" She whispered hoarsely, pulling on a robe.
Lindsay, Mum and I all piled into the car, ready to head for platform9 and ¾. When we got there, we all headed for the barrier at a run.
"Bye mum, love you!" I said as Lindsay brought her parents over.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Potter." I said, grinning.
"Well, hello Cassidy," Harry replied. We exchanged hugs, and good-byes, and got on the train.
I know, it was a rushed ending, but I want to get this story moving. Please Review!!
