30th November 1988

"I'm telling you now, Pilkin would be amazing in bed."

"Did you not last month say you weren't focusing on boys any longer?"

"That's the past, this is the present."

"Gross."

The three girls were sitting in the courtyard on the stone grey walls as they watched others go by, silently people watching which was one of Liliana's favourite activities.

Rowan was nose deep in a book about magical creatures per usual and Tulip was gently stroking her frog while practically suffocated him in a hug.
"How do you think I could get the ingredients for the potion though? I can't grow them myself and Pomfrey will realise somethings up almost immediately." Liliana was twirling her wand around her finger in thought, she had spent hours practicing it with Diego and it soon became habit.

"Because you don't do shit it Herbology?" Rowan let out a small laugh in amusement,

"Exactly."

"He only just returned her from stone, you want to poison her already?"

"Mrs Norris is a 'thing', not a she."

"Don't worry Dennis I would never speak about you like that." Tulip kissed the top of its head making Rowan and Liliana gag.

"I'm telling you she pissed on my shoes! He doesn't even have a magic litter box to follow her round!" Tulip just laughed at Liliana's annoyance, she got angry and flustered easily which normally made for an entertaining show for others.

"At least they blamed that random third year though, I really thought I would get sent home for that."

"Just say it was Merula," Rowan muttered as if bored until her head quickly shot up with a bright smile across her cheeks. "maybe you could get her expelled!"

"I have a feeling she would end up reunited with her parents after killing me." Liliana said before quickly slapping her hand over her mouth. If Merula caught her saying that she really wouldn't see tomorrow, and she had ado grown to like the girl so it was a bit horrible.

Conversation continued as the day went on, it was another boring Saturday and Liliana wanted nothing more than to slump into her bed at the end of it. She was making her way through the castle halls unaccompanied by Rowan who had once again decided to stay in the Library. Liliana was supposed to be looking for some bejewelled arrowhead for an angry centaur but she could leave it another few days, he had been an outcast for almost a decade anyway, he could wait a little longer.

She swept around the corner in a rush, her ears suddenly filled with the whispers of those around her, she practically bathed in attention, she adored it and rumours were nothing new to her so she payed it no mind.

She walked straight into a group of gryffindoors, accidentally bashing shoulders with one slightly and pushing him over. An older 7th year who Liliana couldn't quite name quickly brought the younger kids closer to her, scolding them for even going near Liliana.
"Don't touch that one, she'll turn out a death eater like her brother." Liliana stopped in her tracks and slowly cocked her head to face the Gryfindoor. Her hair was a sleek brown with small plaits running throughout, she looked innocent enough but that clearly didn't stop her having a foul mouth.

"Excuse me?" Liliana spat raising her brows in distaste.

"You heard me, scram."

"I'll say it again." Liliana stepped closer to the older girl and noticed a shining prefect badge on her uniform.
"Excuse me." Liliana spat the last word, snarling at the girl.
