Lucy looked out the window of the griffyndor common room and took in the beautiful scenery of the snowy winter night. It was already December and lucy couldn't believe that she had been at Hogwarts for almost four months. Since arriving at the school the girls had already traveled to the future via time turner, gotten drunk with some hot guys on St Patrick's day, and won an epic battle of the bands against the dreadful Annette Curtain. Although the girls had been very humble about their victory, Annette Curtain took every opportunity she could to humiliate and bully Lucy and her friends. It never worked though, because they were all much smarter than her and everyone was always on their side anyways.
However Annette Curtain was the least of Lucy's worries at that moment. She was more preoccupied with a certain gorgeous boy who was also her best friends step brother. Cavan. Cavan who was a year older, had a shaggy yet sexy mop of auburn hair, and dazzling blue eyes. He had asked her out a few times but Lucy still had not been able to give him a straight answer, and she couldn't figure out why! Cavan was super nice, and he was really smart. Plus Neon even said she would be ok with them going out, but somewhere in the back of her mind Lucy felt that she wasn't ready for a boyfriend.
Lucy continued to gaze at the falling snow, thinking about what she should say to Cavan when she was approached by Hermione, who was Lucy's best friend in her house. "You look troubled Lucy, do you want to talk about anything?" Hermione said. Lucy was grateful for her kindness and decided to tell her everything that was on her mind. They ended up talking and laughing for hours. but in the end Lucy, with the help of Hermione's wise advice, decided that she would wait at least another year and see how she felt about Cavan.
A few minutes later they were joined by Harry and Ron who offered to start a game of wizards chess. Lucy new she could beat them easily so she accepted the offer. they weren't even 5 minutes into the game when Ariana, stormed over and knocked the chess board off the table and began screaming at Lucy.
"YOU BITCH WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS TRYING TO STEAL MY FRIENDS! I WAS FUCKING FRIENDS WITH THEM FIRST! NOT YOU, AND I LIKED CAVAN FIRST TOO BUT YOU HAD TO GO AND STEAL HIM FROM ME TOO!!"
Lucy was startled by Ariana's aggressiveness. She knew Ariana was crazy but she never thought she was this crazy! Lucy opened her mouth to try to reason with her, at the same time Ariana grabbed the chess board off the floor. Harry, Ron and Hermione raised their wands to defend Lucy but they were too late. With one swift movement Ariana swung the chess board and hit Lucy in the head. It wasn't a bad hit but it was enough to knock Lucy unconscious, and like a beautiful doll Lucy crumpled to the ground.
What happened next was all a blur. Everyone rushed to protect Lucy and no one talked to Ariana unless they were screaming at her and asking her why she would do something so mean to such a sweet girl. She was taken to the hospital wing where Madam Pomfrey suggested a good night's rest was what she needed and that she would give her some healing potion in the morning. Lucy's head felt numb, and she felt so alone in the hospital wing, she really wished she had her friends to keep her company. Strangely enough, right at that moment Lucy heard a knock on the window. She turned on her stomach and looked out the window. There behind the glass was Neon, Ellie and Veronica on a hippogriff! Lucy couldn't believe her eyes, she jumped out of bed and ran to open the window. Neon was the first to speak.
"Oh my goodness, thank God you're alright! we heard about what that bitch Ariana did to you so we all came as soon as we could, we thought she might have killed you!!"
" yeah are you ok Lucy?" Veronica asked looking genuinely concerned.
"I'm sure i'll be fine" Lucy responded and rubbed her head which was still throbbing. "but never mind me where did you get the hippogriff?"
"oh we have our connections" Ellie said with a mischievous grin. "Come take a ride with us, and then we'll bring you back to the hospital wing"
Even though she had a terrible headache and it was snowing and all she was wearing was a thin night gown, Lucy couldn't resist the offer.
She climbed on to the hippogriff's back in between Neon and Veronica. "Hold on tight" Neon instructed as she give the hippogriff a light kick on it's side.
They shot forward at through the air, almost as fast as a nimbus 2000. The wind whipped through their hair and they all found themselves laughing and screaming at every dive and turn they made. It was a truly magical experience and no one wanted to go back to bed. But eventually Lucy was returned to the hospital wing, with a slightly clearer head and windblown hair. She closed the window and watched her three lovely friends fly through the sky until she couldn't see them anymore.
