The common room was full of chatter and noises coming from students who are either talking to their friends gossiping or complaining fifth years about how they are stressed and tired about studying for the o.w.l.s

Sitting on one of the sofa's in the common room with Evie and some girls on their grade she knows as Mia and Grace, they were gossiping as usual about everything

Lily Anne was looking like she is listening to the girls conversation but the truth is she is lost in thought on where her letter was, the girls calling her name made her shook her head away from her thoughts

"Huh?" She asked quirking her brows

"I said the group of Potter are looking at you weirdly, did you do something to James again?" Evie repeated in whisper, the other girls discreetly looking at the group Evie mentioned

Quirking her brows she tried to discreetly took a glance at the group and what she saw was quite shocking for the three other boys waved at her, while Potter who glance back at her and rolled his eyes

Lily Anne looked at them weirdly, slightly confused look plastered on her features, she turned back to her friend "I didn't do anything, why are they acting weird?" Her eyes flickering to the three girls surrounding her

"Bet their planning something to annoy you again." Grace whispered genuinely concerned, knowing that the group of boys is always doing mischief to her

"Oh how i wish i could get their attention just like you." Mia dreamily said closing her eyes seemingly imagining the group of boys pestering her instead of the Moore girl

"Are you mad? Do you know how those guys are incredibly and utterly annoying as hell." She said scrunching her nose remembering all the times the four boys annoying the hell out of her

"Well it's a bit romantic is it not, you know having four hot and handsome man follow you around." Mia stated smiling like a kid in a candy store

"What do you mean man, they're a bunch of children in a grown up body, except for maybe Remus he's tolerable." Furrowing her brows "Take it from me it is not romantic at all it's horrid, they just give me headaches and existential crisis." She said, pouting her lips

"I guess they're sometimes annoying-"

"Sometimes really, more like every single second."

"I think they are kind."

"They're not that bad."

"Well if you're me you'll experience their bad sides 24/7."

The play arguing of the group of girls continued, the topic ranging from Would you rather be a ghost of Moaning Myrtle or Peeves? To should the house elves be payed for their jobs, until they were sleepy and tired so the three other girls returned to their rooms

Lily Anne stayed to the common room wanting to read in peace for her other roommate snore too much in her sleep

___________________________

Many hours have past the common room was now quite the only sound that can be heard is the faint crackling sound in the fireplace and the occasional flip of a page from a book the Moore girl have been reading, the surrounding is dimly lit enough for Lily Anne to read the words on the page scanning it carefully

She was tucked in a chair in the corner of the empty common room reading comfortably

She was so absorbed by the story of the book she did not even noticed four mischievous boys tiptoeing their way to the portrait hole careful not to wake anyone to sneak out to the halls which they easily succeeded in doing

A few hours of reading later Lily Anne finally felt her eyelids getting heavy, knowing she was getting sleepy and didn't want to spend the night in the common room sofa for she knew it would get bloody cold she stood up picking up her things

After taking ahold of her stuff she headed straight to the stairs to the girls dormitory

When suddenly Peter Pettigrew came stumbling in the portrait hole walking up to her and handling her a piece of parchment before quickly disappearing to the boys dormitory stairs

Confused about what just happened she opened the parchment in her hand, and upon reading it she was even more confused

The parchment says:

'Meet Me in The Pale Moonlight
Tomorrow night by the Whomping Willow tree'
