A Sirius Matter...

New Friends!

The next morning, I awoke feeling oddly content. A smile was fixed on my pale face and my knotty bed hair was arranged messily across my eyes. I sat up groggily and rubbed my eyes, small speckles of dust falling from the creases. I sneezed heavily (thanks year-long hayfever) and then got out of bed clumsily.

Tia had not returned to her bed in the night,the bedclothes were neat except for her crooked pillows. I straightened them absentmindedly, folding her clothes and placing them on the sheets for her to collect later.

Lily was still asleep, snoring like a princess, foot stuck out of her thick drapes. I carefully pulled them round and watched my friend who occasionally gave an audible grunt and then shift in her sleep.

I turned to look at the clock ticking quietly on the wall. It read at 6:30am. I suddenly asked myself mp why I had got up so early - it was a Saturday after all!

"Oh my goodness! Lily it's a Hogsmede weekend!" I ran into the bathroom and took the speediest shower of my life. I washed my hair with blackcurrant shampoo (my favourite scent) and then allowed it to drip past my waist as I emerged back into where the beds were. Lily was still sleeping soundly so I walked over to her bed. She was muttering about bananas in her sleep...

I shook my wet hair like a dog sending tiny droplets of water all over Lily's face and bedsheets!

"What the?" She gasped, sitting up abruptly.

"HOGSMEDE!" I yelled simply, sitting down on my bed and drying it with a simple spell. I then used magic to warm the end a little and make delicate curls in my wavy hair. I then pulled out my favourite floral sundress.

"How do I look?" I asked Lily who was just beginning to sit up in bed.

"Like an angel. I'll get ready now" she muttered more to herself than to me. She climbed about as gracefully as I did out of her bed and stumbled sleepily into the bathroom. I heard the click of the lock as she isolated herself and decided to head down to the common room alone to wait for a friend to eat breakfast with.

As I skipped quietly down the stairs, my eyes caught sight of the great clock on the wall that read 7:08am. I guessed none of my friends would be up. I grabbed a random box off of the large bookshelf and headed for an empty armchair by the fire. It seemed there was nobody in the common room.

As I passed behind the large sofa, I heard breathing coming from it. I leaned my head over the top and saw a lot more of Tia and Remus than I wanted to!

"Oh my eyes!" I screamed, waking the pair who were sleeping cuddled together on the sofa.

"Sofia!" Tia screamed pulling the loose blanket over her and Remus.

"Oh my lord!" Said Remus, putting his hands to his face.

"My eyes. They're bleeding oh my goodness! I never want to close my eyes again in case this image comes back!" I ran around laughing sarcastically.

"Shut up Sofia and wait two minutes!" Tia shouted at me causing me to curl up on the floor giving them a private moment.

"You better not be going at it again!" I yelled.

"Zip it bitch I'm getting dressed!"

When I finally opened my eyes, both of them were sat innocently on the sofa each holding a book. I crept over and sat down on a fair away armchair.

"Sofia you can sit here" Remus said, patting a space next to him on the couch.

"Uh uh!" I said shaking my head "no way am I sitting where you two...frolicked." I said to them.
