A/N: Hello! I know it's less than a week since my last post but I was in a writing mood so this chapter sort of happened. It's mainly just cute stuff that I thought of doing after seeing a Jily headcannon. But whatever , please review!
"Good morning!" Eliza chimed as she sat down on the Gryffindor table at breakfast; she was met with tired grumbles, "I said good morning!"
"Morning!" A few people mumbled.
"Well you all seem like rays of sunlight this morning," Eliza said as she started buttering some toast.
"What'd ya say?" Poppy mumbled as her head rose up from her plate, she had fallen asleep and now had a piece of toast lathered with jam was stuck to the side of her face.
"Poppy, exactly how much sleep did you get last night?" Clara asked from the opposite side of the table.
"Umm, I don't know, maybe like two-ish. By 6am I lost a clue of the time, the sun had risen though…I think…" Poppy mumbled sleepily, as Chris handed her tissues and she got the toast and jam off her face.
"What on earth were you doing?" Chris asked.
"Reading," Poppy asked.
"Seriously, come on we all decided that after the incident in second year we would stop this midnight reading thing," Rose said.
"Sadly, I believe this may have been my fault," Eliza said quietly.
"Eliza!" Rose practically shouted before lots of people started staring at her.
"It was a really good book though, and all I did was lend it to her. I only sort of fuelled the fire, I didn't start it. And may I say that I did say to Poppy not to do a midnight reading spree," Eliza protested.
"Eh, well it doesn't really matter anymore does it? I will just sleeping in History of magic or something," Poppy said as her eyes drifted closed, before Eliza poked her and she opened her eyes wide again.
"Poppy! You can't do that!" Rose exclaimed, but no one else protested or anything. History of Magic was the most boring subject ever; it didn't help that it was taught by a ghost, who had a very monotone voice and didn't put in any effort to try and make it interesting.
A few minutes later Al and Lewis came down, Al looked worse for wear.
"That bad, huh?" Clara asked as she handed them teas, as they sat down.
"Yup, two first years and they started fighting. My schoolbag is now broken. I had no clue that this ball would be this manic, girls' fighting basically over me is not fun," Al said.
"What did I tell you?" Clara said a little smug.
"It was bad, and I only walked with you from the dorm to the hall," Lewis said.
"I'm fine now, it wasn't the worst so whatever. What've we got today?" Al asked.
"Dark arts, transfig, runes and History of Mag," Eliza said glumly.
"At least you don't have divination; I have it just before lunch as well. On my own, without any friends there!" Chris complained.
"Well firstly Sophie and Ava are in your class and your friends with them. And secondly taking divination was your choice, we all said don't do it as it sucks," Rose said.
"I don't know them that well yet. Lorcan and Scor haven't been good friends with them for a while. And it wasn't my choice, my mum insisted that I do it," Chris said glumly.
"I wish we didn't have to, you know go to school every day. I wish we were still in primary school, when like nothing mattered at all," Clara said.
"That's a peculiar thing to say so early in the morning. Well anyway, you wouldn't know you were a witch or any of us, so obviously being here is the better option," Eliza said.
"You lot kinda suck anyway. At least I could do the randomist things without being judged. Like watching Cinderella all day, eating ice cream in pjs," Clara said.
"Why would you watch that?" Al cried looking horrified
"A Disney film, what did you think it was? A disease?" Clara said laughing; Als face dropped even more despite that looked almost impossible.
"Yes!" Al said horrified, "What the hell is Disney?"
"You're not serious right?" Eliza asked chuckling, Al held his stare.
"What are you on about, what's Tisney?" Louis asked.
"It's Disney. And they are being serious aren't they. Their fourteen and have never watched a Disney film. If you were a muggle you'd be an alien to them," Eliza said.
"Right okay just checking. Do any of you know what a Disney is, or are all of you aliens?" Clara asked.
"Nope," Al and Louis said, Chris and Rose shook their heads.
"Do you guys seriously not know what Disney movies are?" Lewis asked, "Even I like the princess ones."
"Seriously Lewis?" Poppy said laughing.
"What?" Lewis protested.
"Oh merlin's pants! It's nearly nine we have got to go if we don't want Kirk to kill us. There are like only twenty in our class, so we make up like fifty percent of it. Get a move on," Rose practically screamed as she checked her watch.
"Oh god yeah! We have to go, but its Saturday tomorrow and I don't have Quidditch. We'll speak to the others later but I will send an owl or something to my mum. And we will go to the room of requirement and watching Disney films all day," Clara said as she quickly downed the dregs of her tea.
"Sure, whatever. Come on we gotta scoot," Louis said as he got up from the table and walked out of the great hall.
They all quickly left and rushed back to the common room to get their bags before Defence against the Dark Arts started. They ran into the room a few minutes late, usually Professor Kirk was late, but not on that day.
"Your late, Clara, Albus, Chris, Lorcan, Lysander, Louis, Lewis, Poppy, Rose and Eliza. Seriously that is like half the class, sit down all of you. Textbooks out. Right we're doing Curses today," Professor Kirk said a little sternly, but after a few minutes he eased up and they went off topic, as per usual.
"So what's happening this weekend then. It's not Hogsmeade is it?" Kirk asked.
"Nope, it's the second week back. So no Quidditch either it sucks," A girl called Sophie said, she was a friend of Lorcan's in Ravenclaw. The class had just less than twenty students, it was a compulsory subject but there were four classes all at different times.
"Well what are you doing then, instead I mean? Homework? Surely you don't have much yet? Do you?" The professor asked as he stretched his back and leaned against the table.
"We have like six pieces, some teachers are so mean," Poppy complained.
"You don't even want to know how awful the teachers were when I was here. Ugh, potions professor. I shudder at the thought of him. Well other than that. What are you lot doing? Because I would like to think at least someone was doing something more interesting then what I'm doing, which is a ton of marking," He said.
"Disney Marathon, not because we are five, but because apparently they haven't watched any of them yet," Eliza said as she motioned towards Chris, Louis, Rose and Al.
"I loved those movies when I was younger. Aladdin was my favourite!" He said excitedly before he checked the time on the wall, "Oh sorry guys. I need to set you some work as we have nothing today, Sorry. Right could you please all look up three different curses and write their origins, effects and notable uses. Doesn't matter exactly how much you write but please hand it in next lesson. If you can't do it or don't have time please come and see me as soon as possible. I will just need to say this first on curses. Right okay then, well basically they are usually used to inflict pain or something of the like to the victim. For this reason they are generally quite famous in duels. The most notable curses obviously you already know about, the unforgivable curses. But please don't write about them because we spend a good few weeks learning about them soon. Please try and find interesting ones please not boring ones. Also we're doing hex's as well soon as well so reading about them would help. Okay pack up and go. See you next week."
They all left the room and dragged on with the boring lessons that day. By the end of the day they all flopped on their beds in their dormitory.
"Ugh, so glad that's done and no Quidditch tomorrow. Only nostalgia, I love those movies. Right I need to write to Mum now," Clara said.
"Don't worry about that I already brought the movies with me. I always bring them with me, you know in case, I get lonely or homesick," Eliza said as she held up the DVDs for Beauty and The Beast and Aladdin.
"Phew! My mum wouldn't reply probably anyway. She travels to Scotland to a huge telescope on Fridays usually. Oh merlin! I was supposed to write to my aunt and uncle on the first day and I still haven't. Mum will kill me if she finds out. I'll go and do it now," Clara said as she lept up and scribbled the letter out on the desk.
"What are you doing later?" Anna asked.
"I'm meeting someone," Eliza said as she walked up to the mirror and started fixing her hair.
"Are you seeing your boyfriend?" Clara mocked.
"Oh, ha ha! And he just is my boyfriend, no mocking about it," Eliza said, "Does my hair look okay?"
"It looks fine, just leave it. Where are you going anyway, with Lysander your boyfriend?" Poppy said mocking a little at the end.
"We're going-"Eliza started.
"Ooh have you asked him to the ball yet?" Clara asked.
"No, but we're going for a picnic for dinner. And I'm going to ask him tonight I think," Eliza said. She left twenty minutes later, around the same time that everyone else went down to dinner. She wasn't back when they went to bed, but Clara looked through the window and saw them packing up their things and starting to walk back inside.
The next morning, they all traipsed up to the seventh floor and went into the room of requirement. It already had a TV, sofas, cushions and blankets.
"I never knew this place existed. This is awesome!" Sophie said.
"Yeah! This is so cool!" A girl called Ava said, she was a friend of Scorpius', and loved Disney movies.
"We come here quite often actually due to the added benefit of it getting extra stuff, dependent on what you need the room for. Hence the room of requirement," Clara said as she grabbed a blanket and threw it down on a sofa.
"So, I think we should start with either Aladdin or the little mermaid. Any opinions?" Eliza said as she stood by the DVD player.
"Little mermaid," Clara answered, the ones which had watched them before all nodded in unison. Eliza grabbed the DVD and pushed it into the DVD slot, and pressed play. Everyone hushed silent as the DVD started.
It was clear from their faces that they'd enjoyed it.
"Good then?" Ava said laughing, they all nodded in agreement.
"Even though it was a princess movie, it was so good," Chris said, "What's next?"
"Aladdin, then Cinderella. We can decide what next after that?" Eliza said, everyone nodded. She went and sat back next to her boyfriend, who had answered yes to the ball invite.
For the rest of the day they sat about watching Disney movies, with a large bowl of popcorn. It was very nostalgic as they sat there laughing and wrapped in fluffy blankets. At the end they all had just some popcorn left but were all sprawled out over the sofas.
"Hey! That's not fair!" Al shouted after Poppy had chucked a piece of popcorn at the back of his head. He chucked a handful back at Poppy, but they ended up hitting Louis as well, who she was sitting next to.
"Hey!" Louis yelled back as he grabbed loads and chucked them onto the sofa in front of his, It sprayed popcorn everywhere, due to his poor aim, but it was irrelevant by that point , as everyone started grabbing handfuls and chucking them everywhere. It was a frenzy of popcorn, raining down everywhere. After a while they had run out and they settles down, well a few of them had fallen asleep, as it was rather late. Slowly everyone drifted off apart from Clara and Al. They weren't tired at all and so got their blankets and pillows together and huddled together round the fireplace. The fire was slowly dying, but it still gave out some warmth.
"So today was fun then!" Clara whispered to him.
"Yeah they were all really great," Al whispered back.
"Favourite?" Clara asked, looking over to her friend.
"I know it's a princess one, but Beauty and The Beast," Al answered.
"Same actually," Clara said, the area around them was lit with a golden yellow light. The light shone over to the sofa where Eliza, Louis, Lysander, Poppy, Rose and Scorpius were. Eliza and Rose weren't fast asleep yet and as they were moving around Eliza opened her eyes.
"Rose! Rose!" Eliza whispered, Rose opened her eyes.
"Eliza, what is it?" Rose whispered in a slow grumble. Eliza's smile widened and she made a huge gesture with her arms to where Clara and Al were. It was a wonder how they didn't notice Eliza talking and flailing her arms round manically. They were talking in soft whispers and just staring at each other really oblivious to what was going on around them. Maybe it was romantic? Maybe not? But they sure as hell needed to be a little more honest with each other as they were quite clearly lost in each other's eyes at that moment.
"I told you so!" Eliza whispered as she sat back down, closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Clara and Al were now laying down next the fire, opposite each other still.
"Thank you for today. It was honestly a lot of fun," Al said as he lay down.
"You're welcome," She whispered amongst yawns, she started closing her eyes but her smile remained as her eyes finally shut.
