Guess what! Nothing belongs to me! Wow, amazing...
Charms-
I got the Irisalia spell the second Flitwick let us try it, earning ten points for Gryffindor. So now here I am with nothing to do.
You could help me, ya know.
How would you learn?
I would! I would be done a whole lot quicker, too, with less homework…
Right. Um…no.
You're only saying that because you want to stare at James.
Potter? Don't be ridiculous. I can't stand him.
Lily, you really need to give him a chance.
If you like him so much, why don't you just go out with him? OH MY GOD! YOU'RE BLUSHING! YOU WANT TO GO OUT WITH HIM!
Don't be ridiculous.
You really do like him!
It's not like I haven't told you.
Still! I thought it was just a moment of madness or something! What do you see in the guy?
Hmm…let's see…he's second in class, handsome, Head Boy, Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, which has been undefeated for the last six years since he joined-
Oh spare me. He likes to hex people for fun!
He doesn't do that anymore. You're making irrelevant arguments.
Irrelevant how?
Lily, that was fifth year. I doubt anyone's really in their right mind in that year.
I was! And you!
While I won't argue the latter, I will draw your attention to a certain blond sitting two seats behind me…
Who? Jonathan? What about him? Wait, you're not-
I seem to recall that you had a crush on him in fifth year. And then you-
Don't say it! Don't you dare-
Wrote him an anonymous love letter and HANDED IT TO HIM…
Raya….
And then YOU BAKED HIM BROWNIES AND TRIED TO HIDE THEM ON HIS DESK IN TRANSFIGURATION. ON THE SEAT OF HIS DESK. WHICH HE SAT ON.
Argh, Raya, shut it! That was so embarrassing!
Point in case.
Raya! You just need to-OMG!
What?
Flitwick's coming this way! And he looks murderous! Practise!
Eek! Is he really?
Would I lie?
Thanks, Lily, I-hey! Wait a second! Flitwick isn't even in the room right now! He's not coming this way!
Heh.
LILY BRIALLEN EVANS! How could you do that?
How could you like Potter?
That was low, Lily Evans.
No, it wasn't.
Was too.
Was not-oh, fine, I apologize, happy?
Fine. Whatever.
Oh gosh!
What?
Flitwick! Here! In fifty seconds!
Ha ha. Very funny.
I'm serious!
Yeah, right. That was really-
"You can't say I didn't warn you."
"Right, I'll try to remember that," says Raya as she glares at her redheaded friend.
They are walking back to their dormitories to drop some books off before going to lunch, or, rather, Raya is walking with Lily back to her dormitory to drop off and pick up some books she needs.
"Extra homework," Raya grumbles for the fiftieth time that day. "And I was the only one to get it, too!"
"Look, Raya," says Lily as she hurries on past her friend. "Why don't you go ahead to lunch? If you're done early, then maybe you'll have enough time to finish that bit of Charms."
"You sure?" Raya asks, surprised.
"Yeah."
"Well…okay…" she says, and waves goodbye to Lily. "See ya at lunch."
Lily hurries up to the portrait of the Fat Lady; if she's quick, she may still be able to get some work done after lunch as well.
"Flowery tupelo," Lily says.
"Quite right."
The portrait opens inward, and Lilyhalf-runs in, only to ram into someone and send them both sprawling onto the ground.
"Oh, so sor-" Lily freezes as she realizes whom she's lying on. "You?"
"Lily?"
