perhaps it was the effect of being with her family after so long that caused ophelia greengrass to feel better. perhaps it was the fact that for everynight, every single night, she would fall asleep with her head resting against regulus' shoulder and the distant sound of him reading the words of the page would be the last thing she would hear. perhaps it was just a christmas miracle.
like last year, she had spent her entire christmas break with her slytherin friends. and though she enjoyed it very much, her gryffindor friends has announced that ophelia was their's for the rest of the week.
on monday, she and peter spent the entire afternoon baking. tuesday, she and james played a one-on-one quidditch match at the pitch. wednesday, sirius had taken her to hogsmeade, using one of the secret tunnels thus skipping class.
and now, thursday, it was her scheduled tea party with lily and remus. they were currently talking about each of their holidays. ophelia already talked about her's and as has remus.
"oh! mom and dad absolutely adored james!" lily happily said as she took a sip of her tea. ophelia smiled at that. she was happy for her and james, truly. she witnessed james going on and on about how lily was not giving her the time of day. but she also witnessed the smiles the redhead suppressed whenever james was mentioned. "but then, ugh! petunia and her new boyfriend, vernon, were completely rude!"
"ugh, what did they do this time?" remus and ophelia said at the same time.
lily started fidgeting with her fingers, making the two of them more intrigued. "she said, 'and what are you two planning on doing after graduating your freak school? sign up for a freak job?' and i don't know but... it really got me thinking."
ophelia tilts her head in confusion. petunia, based on the stories lily shared, always made comments like that. but lily never paid mind to them. until now, apparently. "about what?"
"i don't know what i want to do after hogwarts," lily said. "do i work in the muggle world? but then i can't because i have no records of going to a school there. and do i work in the wizarding world? where my kind is usually not accepted and is currently being hunted?"
the sound of the kettle was the only thing keeping them from complete and utter silence. "i... i don't know what i'm gonna do after as well," remus chimed and ophelia glanced at him. "i have the grades for a good job, yes, but i'm never gonna keep a job with my... you know."
"how about you, lia?" lily turned to the girl. "do you know what you want in the future?"
the blonde girl shrugged. "i won't be working after hogwarts. the greengrass and black inheritance gives me enough, more than enough actually, money to live comfortably. regulus and i would be married. have heirs. that's it."
"i wish my life was planned out like that," remus jokingly said but a bitter laugh came from ophelia.
but the bitterness subsided when the greengrass girl reached for her bag and brought out a bunch of sticky-notes and a pen. the two gryffindors glanced at each other in confusion.
