Chapter 9

(Lillian's Point Of View)
.

It was late by the time I arrived back.
It was lucky that the port-key could return us to the same place we had left from. It made getting back to school much easier. Of course we still had to be careful not to get caught by Filch or his cat Mrs. Norris. After all, it was 3:37am and long past curfew.

Still, even if we had been caught I think it would have been worth it.

While I would have liked to attend the Halloween party at school or spent the day back home with my family, I think I did the right thing by accompanying Harry and the rest of my friends to Godric's Hallow to visit the graves of Harry's parents.

As I made my way back to the Ravenclaw dorm I thought about everything that had happened.

The best part of the entire night had been watching Ciel and Sebastian walk around in T-shirts and skinny jeans. Someday I must ask Alexis how she and Alex got those two to wear those outfits. Those outfits suited them so badly, and uncomfortably, that they might as well have been costumes. I can't imagine those two choosing to wear those type of cloths by choice.

The hardest part of the night though was watching Harry.
He said that he wasn't sad about losing his parents because he was just a baby when it happened, but I didn't believe him. He never would have gone to their graves in the first place if he wasn't bothered by what happened.

In his place I'd probably spend most of my time thinking about all the 'what ifs' and 'might have been's 'that never would be.
I know I was right.
The way he reacted when he saw the memorial statue and then latter in the churches cemetery confirmed my suspicions.

At a time like that there really isn't anything that anyone can say.
Just being there for my friend, holding his hand, so he'd know that he wasn't alone was all I could do.
I know that having Alex, Sebastian, Ciel, Alexis, Blaise, and me with him was a help

Afterwards we went back to Harry's godfather's place.
What a creeper.
I've met some strange people before (wizards and witches can be a bit eccentric), but never anyone like him.

Undertaker was quite the character. I don't know if he was like that because it was Halloween or if he always looks and acts like that. Whatever the case may be, aside from Blaise and me everyone seemed to know him.

I will admit that he acted nice enough, even if he was creepy.

When we got back from Godric's Hallow he had cups of hot chocolate ready for us. It went a long way toward warming us up and lifting our mood.

We actually ended up having a good time.
He knew lots of funny jokes and stories and it got me thinking of some as well. Blaise and Harry also joined in and pretty soon the four of us were laughing so hard we were practically rolling on the floor.
Actually, Undertaker did roll around laughing on the floor.

The only ones that didn't join in on all the merriment were Ciel, Sebastian, Alex, and Alexis. They just sat back and watched us make fools of ourselves.
Well it was their loss for missing out on all the fun.
They're so serious all the time. They really need to learn to loosen up and relax once in a while.

I made it to my room without any trouble.

The Ravenclaw dorm was unlike the other Houses.

In the other Houses, with a few exceptions for the teacher acting as Dorm Head and maybe two or three separate rooms in case of special needs students, all housemates (be they on the girl's side or boy's side of the House) normally share a single room with a bed and desk available for each student.

Ravenclaw is different.
Because the focus is on knowledge and study more than socializing, it's set up more like a Muggle college or university dorm with two students each sharing a single room.

I consider myself lucky to have gotten a room to myself, even if it is the smallest room. Due to the number of Ravenclaw students this year, they couldn't divide the room assignments evenly between us all. So, instead of giving me one big room or having me share a room with two other students, I got one tiny single room.

It's pretty obvious that this room exists only because the builders didn't know what else to do with the extra space but I don't mind. I like the privacy.
It came with:
1 desk
1 closet
1 small table
1 single-sized bed
2 chairs

It may not seem like much, but it's enough for me and my lovely cute little Zilian Zila Cat.
Have I mentioned him? No, that's too bad.
He's unbelievably perfect. Truly a one in a zillion find. It's why I named him Zilian. I didn't want to name him after a number (even a nice sounding one), plus he's mine now. So I just combined zillion with my name, Lillian, and got Zilian. Not only does it sound good but it also seems to fit him. I haven't heard him complain about it either.

Sometimes I call him Zila for short, or even little Zila, or a bunch of other endearments like darling, my love, sweetness, cutie and many others.
He's just a black and white ball of fuzzy cute adorableness, which is quite a trick when you consider that he has short hair.

That sweet little black face with the white lip and white strip on the nose is just to die for. When he looks at me with those big beautiful eyes of his I just melt. All I want to do is devote myself to finding ways to make him happy. I am determined to shove joy, bliss, and happiness into his life. He doesn't get a choice in this matter. It's non-negotiable.

He will be happy.

Luckily, he doesn't seem to have any disagreements with this plan.
He's so wonderfully co-operative.
Such a good little cat.
My darling kitten.

Whoa! I need to get a hold of myself. If I'm not careful I could go on endlessly like this and then I'd never get to sleep and there's school tomorrow.
Well, considering the time, latter today.

Ok, that's the end of Lillian's chapter. I know that it's basically just a wrap up of what happened in the last chapter, but hopefully it wasn't a hardship to read it.
