Dinner with the Wotters

(This is Lily Luna up top)

Food and desserts suddenly appeared all over the table. My stomach rumbled hungrily. It's clear I hadn't ate anything since that Butterbeer. I put any possible sweet and cooked meal on my plate. CJ did the same. Lucy smiled sheepishly. "You must've been hungry in those carriages." She said. "No shit." I quickly said. CJ laughed. "Trying Butterbeers didn't really fill us up." She joked. The middle girl between the redheads and leaned forward. "Three words. No creamy drinks before dinner." She added. She actually have red hair and brown eyes. I rolled my eyes. "That's five words hon." I sassed. She nodded in disagreement. "No it's not." She said. "Yes it is." Me and this Lily girl said in unison. Lucy giggled. CJ laughed. "And you must be- she cut her off. "Molly. I'm also their cousin and her sister." She said, referring to Lucy. I smirked. "You ain't wrong. Your red hairs are burning my eyes." I joked. Lily fake chuckled. "That's supposed to be a joke?" She asked. I smiled innocently. "I'm honest. Not funny." I teased. She returned the gesture. "And I don't take funny to people joking about my hair or my cousins'." She sassed. I smirked teasingly and playfully poked her nose without touch. "Take a Butterbeer firecracker. Nobody's putting out your fire." I said. Lucy and Molly almost spit out their drinks while giggling. CJ was watching everything in amusement. Lily laughed. "Excuse me?" She asked. I smiled proudly. "My mouth never stutter." I said. She cleared her throat. "Your names. River and CJ right?" She asked. I quickly nodded. Soon a couple other heads turned to me. A caramel-skinned girl with straightened curly hair smiled sweetly. "Nice to meet you two. I'm Roxanne Weasley, their cousin and this is my brother Fred." She introduced. The boy with jet black hair and glasses smirked nicely. "I'm James Sirius Potter. Lily's oldest brother. We're 7th years. We have another brother- CJ cut him off. "Albus. Is that him over there?" She asked. He was two tables away on the Slytherin table next to a platinum blonde boy. He saw CJ and smiled. She returned the gesture. "Exactly. We're all basically family." James told her. I sighed happily. "I'm aware of your prank status here. It feels hella good to be in a school where there's kids who know how to have fun." I said. Fred smirked. "Ah! Are you a prankster Walker?" He teased. I scoffed, popping grapes. "Dead spiders in my big sister's soup, graffitied my Dad's car, got detention for skateboarding in the halls. Oh yeah? And for putting green hair dye in a friend's shampoo." I said proudly. All their eyes widened. Some other blonde nearly choked on his mushroom soup. James smiled teasingly. "Bloody hell! I'd like to witness your 'amazing' prank skills Walker." He said. I hid a smirk knowing I planned one ahead of time. Roxanne gasped horrifically. "James! Something's in your pocket!" She panicked. He shrieked, pulling a caterpillar out of his pocket. Everyone looked at it disgustedly. Me and CJ laughed and high-five. Lily rolled her eyes. "You're lucky McGonagall didn't catch you." She said. Fred hummed in response. "Have to say we're impressed!" He added. James smiled. "We should be threesome prank legends." He said. I raised an eyebrow cockily. "Ha! Legendary's what I am Potter." I bragged. They chuckled, high-fiving me. "I think we met a second James and Fred." Lucy whispered in Molly's ear. She nodded in agreement. "Lord help us." She whispered. CJ smirked innocently. "If it makes you feel better, I'm a prankster but not Wotter-oriented." She joked but in a serious tone. They breathed a breath of relief. Roxanne smiled. "So, where are you from?" She asked. "California." We said in unison. Lucy smiled widely. "Really?!" She beamed. I laughed. "Never been to Cali huh?" I asked. Molly nodded her head no. "But we're glad we met kids from California." She said jokingly. We laughed more. Jack scoffed. "You oughta take a vacation there! So many things to do and see!" He told them. The whole time I couldn't stop taking glances at Lily. That fiery redness through her hair, natural brown orb eyes, especially that fiery attitude and confidence. I was careful to make sure CJ didn't notice. "Who's the other girl who's sorted into Ravenclaw?" Molly asked. Our attention turned to Leila chatting with two Ravenclaw girls. "Our friend Leila. She's also from California." CJ told her. As she and Jack talked with them, Lily smiled at me. "Now it's my job to be welcoming. Hope you love our classes." She teased. I smirked. "Now it's my turn to tease. Hope you enjoy a two-week spring break." I mocked. She fake gasped. I fake smiled. We ended up snickering and giggling. Dang, maybe these kids aren't too much. We'll see later though.

Once dinner was over, we rode this rotating staircase and led up to this Fat Lady portrait which is supposed to their password lock. Luckily Roxanne told us the password so we couldn't forget. CJ was having an un-ending conversation with Hugo and Molly. Jack was enjoying himself discussing pranks with James and Fred. Me? The only people I found incredibly awesome were Roxanne, Lucy and Dominique, Victoire's sister. A couple rebel girls who aren't like Regina's clique from Mean Girls. I freaking love it! Lily was busy wandering behind as Molly helped find our fifth year dorm room. She laughed. "Hope you American girls find this to your liking." She joked. I shoved my hands into my pockets. "This American girl can shave your hair off with a chainsaw." I said. They laughed. She walked off and smirked. CJ opened the door, revealing our dorm room with five beds. Lucy cheered excitingly. "You're sharing a dorm with us!" She beamed. Roxanne winked. "Welcome to the club." She spoke. Like Drell promised, our bags were on the second and third beds. CJ pointed at the fifth bed. "Whose bed is that?" She asked. Lucy almost spoke till I pulled out my blue acoustic guitar from my guitar case. Their eyes widened. "Blimey! This is yours?" Roxanne asked. I smiled proudly. "Yup. I'm kind of an artist. At home I go to this Arts school to make music." I told them. CJ chuckled. "Right now, she just finished her first movie and going to premieres." She added. Roxanne playfully oohed. "Are you starting out?" She asked. I shrugged. "Sorta but I've made songs with Disney." I said. Their jaws dropped. Lucy cheered. "Can you sing something for us?" She asked. I playfully rolled my eyes and rubbed my hair. "Cmon y'all, I'm feeling tired. I gotta wash my face, brush my teeth, take my TOMs off..." I trailed off. CJ smiled while unpacking. "Cmon Ri. Just one song. It won't hurt." She assured. Lucy's face lit up. "Sing any muggle pop!" She said. "Or rock!" Roxanne said. Muggle pop? Guess that's what they call pop culture. I inhaled a deep breath and wrapped my guitar strap around my shoulder before sitting on my bed. They sat beside each other as if they're an audience. I cleared my throat. "Any song ideas? If there's a song or singer I don't know I'm not singing it." I said in a clear tone. The whole room was embarrassingly silent. CJ shrugged. "How about your own songs? You do write songs sometimes." She suggested. My brain clicked. "Alright. I got something. I written it last time. I'll just go ahead." I told them. Molly nodded. I readied myself and began strumming my song Heavy.

When did we get so lost inside ourselves?

We used to be strong, now it's like we don't care

Instead we're calling out for help

Don't know where we went wrong, but it's so hard to share

All this weight left on our shoulders, too much for the both of us

When did it get so heavy?

This love's that in-between us, it never used to feel this

Feels so heavy

Can't get up off the ground

It's weighing us down

When did we get so bad at being honest?

You got things on your mind, that you don't wanna say

Thought that we had made a promise, that we would never get this way

But all this weight left on our shoulders, too much for the both of us

When did it get so heavy

This love's that in-between us, it never used to feel this

Feels so heavy

Can't get up off the ground

It's weighing us down

I finished. The girls was still in complete shock and awe. Roxanne smiled warmly. "That...sounded beautiful River." She said. Lucy nodded. "You sound really great. I love this song! Sounded rather personal." She said. I sighed, taking strap off me. "Yeah. Anyone could relate." I said. CJ frowned, knowing I am through 'rushing' to find love. I placed my guitar stand on the left side of my bed. Out of nowhere, the door revealed someone else. My heart skipped a few beats. Lily. She yawned sleepily and flunked herself on the fifth bed. "Looks like she's burnt out." I blurted. "I heard that!" Her voice muffled angrily from her pillow. I smirked deviously. They laughed.
