The girls sat together at a table in Potions, sharing a group assignment. Lily fumbled with her knife as she chopped the daisy roots. She didn't seem to notice even when Celeste and Marlene messed up a step.
"Are you alright?" Alice asked, snapping Lily out of her trance.
"What?" she looked up, startled. "I'm fine Alice."

The class bells began to ring, signaling the end of class.

Her sister scoffed with disbelief, finally letting go. "You spoil everything! You never do that around your friends. You- you've been going to parties and doing whatever you want lately! Just because you got into Gryffindor doesn't give you a right to-"
