Lilith didn't want to have any friends besides Abigail. Hell, she didn't want any friends at all. However, Abigail was resilient and Lilith found herself liking Abigail. Abigail talked Lilith's ear off and continually invited her to events. Abigail was a member of the chess club and went to every quidditch match to cheer on her favorite team. The chess team had practice twice a week and held a competition every month. They welcomed anyone to join but not many people accepted their offer. Abigail told Lilith that they only had five members but if she joined, it would be six. Abigail and a group of her friends went to the quiddich games together. They were all first year ravenclaws. Two of them were also in the chess club.
Abigail had many friends but this didn't surprise Lilith. Abigail was an extremely nice person and was a social butterfly. In fact, she was so social that most of the first and second year Ravenclaws knew who she was.
One sunny Saturday afternoon, Lilith was sitting alone in the library. She was in her usual back corner of the library working on a paper for Defense against the Dark Arts. No one besides Abigail bothered her there. Lilith knew her paper wasn't due for a month but it was a good excuse to avoid Abigail. There was a Quidditch game that afternoon so Lilith knew Abigail would be going with her group of friends.
That day, Abigail came waltzing in. She started babbling away in her bubbly voice. Lilith stopped writing and slowly looked up at her near the end of the monologue. ". . . Anyways, some friends and I are going to the Quidditch match tonight. It's Ravenclaw verses Slytherin. I was telling my friends that you didn't know many people and they thought it would be great if you could come!" Abigail grinned at Lilith, waiting for a response. To Lilith's surprise, she found herself saying, "I'd love to go." Abigail squealed while jumping up and down, clapping her hands. She then gave Lilith an awkward hug. It was awkward because Lilith was still sitting down. Abigail didn't seem to notice. If she did, Abigail didn't mind.
Abigail then said, "Come on, put your homework away. We'll work on it later together. The others and I are putting on face paint. You're joining us."
Lilith put her homework into her bag and let herself be dragged away by Abigail. She wondered if this was what it was like to have friends.
