Promise
Parvati didn't know many people before she boarded the Hogwarts Express on September 1st, 1991. Being a pureblood, she'd grown up knowing of other pureblood families, but hadn't had much to do with them for years.
All she had was her sister, Padma.
And Lavender Brown.
Parvati and Lavender had been friends for years, spending time at one another's houses since they were six years old. So when Parvati saw Lavender on the platform that day, she was overjoyed.
Leaving her parents and sister behind, she ran to her friend and threw her arms around Lavender's neck.
Lavender beamed.
"You're here!" she exclaimed.
Parvati smiled, nodding. "I'm here," she replied.
They hugged again and with quick goodbyes to their parents, the two girls boarded the train and found a compartment together.
That was where they made the promise to one another.
"We will always be best friends," Lavender stated.
Parvati nodded. "Forever," she added.
They sealed it with a pinky-promise and they both smiled at one another. Even if no one else wanted to be their friends, they knew they'd always have each other.
And that made the journey to Hogwarts a whole lot better.
This has very slight references to both of my fics 'Greengrass Mansion' and 'You Have Magic'. I hope you enjoyed. I truly love the Lavender and Parvati friendship, which is why I chose it for the Boot Camp challenge :)
