The Little Lion: Vol 2 "Order of the Pheonix"

Invisable Loving Vines

Chapter 12: Invisable Loving Vines- 1995

Another relaxing Saturday has arrived again. The cold October air was a reminder to all that winter was just around the corner. For people like Camila, this reminder was a rather bitter one as she much preferred hot and sunny weather. She pulls her maroon overcoat closer to her and zips the golden zipper higher.

"This bloody weather is making me rather moody." She grumbles.

"Oh lightening up, it just means Halloween and Christmas are close." Ramisa smiles before moving closer to the cold girl and throwing her arm around Camila's shoulders.

"Is anyone else feeling like we are doing something illegal today?" Kate asks her small friend group.

"A little bit, but we all have a knack for rule breaking." Owyn shrugs before stumbling over a small branch as they walk down the steep hill from the castle.

Camila hugs Ramisa a little more as she enjoys the heat radiating from her. "Cuppy, Hermione triple checked the rules, we're allowed in Hogshead. And all of us were assigned times to go so it's not suspicious that twenty five people are going into a small dirty pub all at once."

"Okay, okay." Kate sighs.

"Oi, Millie!" The four hear a boy yell down the cobbled street of Hogsmeade.

Camila turns her head before smiling at her cousin. "Tony!"

Anthony Goldstein accompanied by Terry Boot and Michael corner approach the fourth year Gryffindor's. "Where are you guys off to?" He asks curiously.

"Oh.. no where in particular..." Camila says vaguely.

"Oh, so you got Hermione's invitation too?" He asks.

"Well... yeah she is my girlfriend..." Camila laughs.

"Oh, I didn't know." He smiles. "Well I'll see you there I guess." He starts walking away with his Ravenclaw friends but Camila grabs his arm.

"Wait... umm later, sometime soon, can we talk?" Camila says only loud enough for him to hear.

"Yeah of course." He says. "Just let know when you're free." The Ravenclaw fifth years go down the street a bit while Camila and her friends go the opposite way to the pub.

Upon entering, Camila clears her throat a bit when a strong stench of dirty farm animals hits her nose. "This is a charming place, isn't it?" Camila says sarcastically.

"Love it..." Ramisa says weakly.

"Hi, take a seat guys." Hermione says up front. She's sitting between Harry and Ron. Luna, Neville, Dean, Lavender, Pavarti and Padma all beat Camil's group to the pub.

Camila finds a row of seats in the middle of the room towards the front. Katie Bell, Alicia Spinnet, and Angelina Johnson arrive next, followed by the Creevey brothers, and a group of Hufflepuffs.

Camila groans at the sight of Justin Finch-Fletchy, Sophie's cousin, and Zaharias Smith. Anthony, Michael and Terry arrive as well along with the rest of the Weasley's, Lee Jordan and Sophie Finch.

"Hey Soph." Camila smiles up at her. Sophie greets Camila and her friends before sitting next too Camila.

Up int he front, Harry looks as nervous as ever. He wasn't expecting so many people here. Hermione looks pleased but slightly guilty at her friends nervous composure. Ron get's up and gets out more chairs for everyone to sit. Fred goes up to the counter and orders about thirty butter beers. "Alright everyone, cough up, I dom't have enough gold for all these!" All at once, everyone searches their pockets and hands a galleon to Fred. Camila twists open the dusty butter beer bottle and takes a cautious sip.
