Lilies Walking

First day first class

I woke up to Vivian whispering in my ear,"Lils get up!" I turned on the light next to my bed when I looked out the window I saw that it was still dark out. "I was wondering if you wanted to go down to the great hall early so we can look over our schedules" she asked in a louder whisper. She must have taken her hair down last night because when I looked up her hair was puffy and had thousands of beautiful ringlet curls.
"Well now that I am up, yes that sounds good." I told her. We both changed into our robes behind separate screens. She braided her hair into two dutch braids, my braids look more like knotts so I was really impressed. I just brushed my hair. We both packed our bags with all our books. I opened the trap door and went down the latter. It was really cold walking down the staircase. Our dormitory is much warmer than the rest of the tower. We walked down to the warm common room where we found our head of house, the kind faced, Neville Longbottom or Professor Longbottum. He was sitting by eight piles of paper.
"Look at our earliest risers." Neville said. "Here you go Lily and Vivian." He said handing us our schedules. I was still to tired to show emotion like I am everyday until eight.
"Thanks Professor." We said it together and then we walked out the portrait hole. There were several ways to get to the great hall. We decided to go through the tapestry down the moving stairs. They scared me at first. Then we walked down several floors until we made it to the great hall. We didn't talk much. I think it was because we were too tired. The sun had now risin and the light shone through the windows with the sealing reflecting the weather outside. It was like we were all eating in a pavilion except the exact opposite. There are walls and no sealing instead of no walls and a sealing. We helped ourselves to bacon and eggs gathering as much food as possible.
"So we have Herbology with the Ravenclaws first, then Posion's with Slytherin's, Charms with Hufflepuff,  Defense Against the Dark Arts with Ravenclaws. Then we have lunch break. After lunch we have, Transfiguration with Hufflepuff, History of magic with slytherins. Then flying with everyone." She read our schedule aloud.
"That sounds great, a pretty full day." I said. "What subject are you most interested in?"
"Well I have been looking forward to Potions." She responded. "How about you?"
"I do a lot of flying, But Defense Against the Dark Arts seems pretty interesting and my family does a lot of it." I told her. An extremely fat man with a walrus mustache started walking our way. He had a list in his hands that was not very big. He was panting a little when he stopped in front of us.
"Hello,  Do you know Hugo Weasley?" He asked a little out of breath.
"Yes, he is my cousin, I expect he will be coming soon." I told him.
"Bly me, you are Mrs. Potter I was about to look for you, I am Professor Slughorn," He shook my hand then Vivians. "And you are?"
"Vivian Jordan," She replied.
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Jordan. Well, I am sorry I did not catch up with you on the train. But I did not know you would all be here this year." He apologized. "But I am also looking for Lysander and Lorcan Scamander."
"I feel like you are just naming my friends Professor, they will be coming down shortly and I hope they will join us here." I said politely.
"Well, I wanted to invite you to my Slug club dinner party. I don't know when it will be. I think sometime later this month or early October." He said. "And Vivian, you and your brother are also invited. Your mother was an excellent quidditch player while she was playing for Europe and your father was a funny commentator." He told Vivian. "Now here are the invitations please, were something nice. See you in my class." Then he walked up to the teachers table. Now that I am looking at my friend group there are a lot of us.
"Well that was unexpected, but I do think I heard James tell my dad something about Slughorn." I said. I could tell she was really excited.
"We were invited to a party, alright, We need to do our hair and makeup. I am thinking of some nice dresses. This will be great." She said. The idea of doing hair and makeup shocked me.
"It isn't for a while." I told her, still laughing.
"That doesn't matter." She whined.
"I guess I am not used to it but, I have really only had boys as my friends for the longest time." I told her.
"Well we will worry about all that later, first we need to think about our classes." She said smartly. But at that same moment Hugo, Lorcan and Lloyd walked into the hall. We started to wave and they walked over to us.
"Good morning," I said.
"We were invited to a party." Vivian said enthusiastically.
"What?" Hugo said, eyeing the food.
"A dinner party called the Slug Club. Here are your invitations." Vivian explained handing them the letters.
"Rose told me about the Slug Club, it is where Professor Slughorn collects kids and tries to influence them." Hugo said stuffing his face with food.
"Oh no," Lloyd said.
"What?" Lorcan asked.
"Well my sister is going to go crazy about this party, I thought once we got to school it would stop but it won't." He said.
"I don't go crazy, I just enjoy dressing up." she told him.
"Watch out Lily or Lils." Lloyd warned.
"I will," then we all started to laugh even more.
"We are going to sit at our house table," Lorcan said. "I don't want to get in trouble." Then the two of them walked away right as I saw Lysander coming into the hall and called him over.
"Come and sit by us, Lorcan doesn't want to get in trouble but I think it will be fine." I told him as he walked over.
"Alright, Lils." he said and sat down next to me. "What are those?" He asked, pointing at the envelope.
"Oh we were invited to a party." I told him. Then Vivian told him everything that just happened talking very quickly.
"I am just worried about my dress robes." Hugo said. "I stained them with chilli sauce the other day." We all laughed.
Our conversation about Slughorn riminded is all of our classes. The hall kept filling up with more kids. Then I looked up at the clock. It said eight forty five and we had class at nine.
"I think we should all go to Herbology," I told them. They agreed so we stood up and started to walk down the hall. The entrance to the school seemed a lot bigger when you were at the front. The doors were huge and it felt very strange pushing them open. When I looked out onto the grounds the sun beamed onto it but the lake shone the most. It felt like home.
We walked down toward the greenhouses when Vivian asked. "Who's little cabin is that?"
"It's Hagrids." I responded then remembered. "Hagrid, I have tea with Hagrid on friday?"
"Can we go there right after class. I would like to see Hagrid." Vivian said pleasantly. We walked into greenhouse one and sat down at the tables. It was a large greenhouse and there were a lot of four person tables surrounding a very long table in the middle of the room. The table had about five small trees sitting on it; they all had weird little fruits on it that looked like dried plums. The class started to fill up and then Professor Longbottum came in.
"I see you have all sat down in appropriate places. I am Professor Longbottom. I will teach you the proper way to juice a Shrivelfig. They have several magical properties and their juices are used in several poisons. I will demonstrate." Professor Longbottum said. "You first grab your capsil." He said grabbing it. "Then you softly tickle there steam and the fruit will drop." He tickled the steam and the fruit dropped. "Now you will hum a tune until the fruit opens." It was very weird watching him hum to a plant but it opened into a bright purple flower. With lots of aws from the class he continued. "Now you will have to grab the petals and squeeze the juice out." As he did that the petals released a shiny purple liquid. "Now I see everyone is at a table, so you will need to be in pairs. Now start"
"Lils, do you want to be partners?" Lysander asked.
"Sure," I told him and we walked over to the closest tree. "So I have my capsil,"
"I do too, so we tickle the steam." Lysander said. The fruit dropped immediately after we tickled It's steam. "Will you please hum, I am awful at anything musical." he asked then I started to hum a song that my mum would sing to me. She said she read it in a book. Deep in the meadow. The toon was simple and the plant slowly opened.
"Alright now get it. I will hold the capsules and you squeeze the juice." I told him. By the end of class we juiced about ten shrivelfig plants. Vivian did good but Hugo kept moving the capsil every time she juiced it and she got mad at him.
"I don't understand that if I do everything and I ask you to hold a capsil still you can't do it." She snapped at him.
"It isn't that easy," Hugo said, now looking a bit frightened.
"Next time you do everything and I will hold the capsil still, If it is so hard." She retorted. Lysander and I were in fits of laughter watching them bicker.
