Sorted Lily sat at the Gryffindor table, unsure of whether to laugh or cry. Sev had promised they would both be in Slytherin, together. Now she was here alone, stuck with the two horrible boys from the train and friendless. She sat fixated on the starry roof/sky, marvelling over the world she had found herself a part of. A friendly, slightly high pitched voice sounded, distracting Lily and calling her a attention to the pretty black haired, blue eyed witch in front of her. "Hi, my name's Alice Prewett." Lily smiled at the girl, who added "This is Marlene" gesturing to the grinning blonde girl next to her. "Hello, I'm Lily." "We'll all be in the same Dormitory, I expect. I'm so glad to be in Gryffindor, like my cousins." Alice's chatter filled Lily with optimism, maybe she wouldn't be quite as friendless as she had thought.
