The First Year

6| An afternoon out

"Wake up Alice, you don't want a repeat of yesterday do you?" Lily said close to giving up.

"We have Sluggie first period too." That seemed to get her up.

"There you go, that wasn't hard was it?"

"It was, it was the hardest thing I ever did." Alice said groaning and lying down.

"Get up Alice!" Lily huffed and dragged Alice out.

"Now if you two would stop bickering," they heard a voice ring out from the other side of the room. "Well I wouldn't if Lily didn't try to wake me up at this godforsaken hour,"

"Alice, it's eight o'clock."

"Oh"

The girl came towards them, she had short black hair and seemed to be carrying, if Lily wasn't mistaken knitting supplies.

"Eleanor" she said extending a hand.

"Lily and.... Alice, Alice?" Alice was fast asleep.

"Did she honestly have to go on about the evil creatures the whole period? I don't think she achieved much 'coz all I leaned from that lesson was that Fred and George won't have to sell those skiving snackboxes anymore," Alice went on after the Defence lesson. Lily and Lorcan exchanged looks.

"Meaning: Alice felt like she was going to puke" Lily translated for Eleanor, who prefered to be called Ellie.

"And yes she is slightly crazy, which makes me wonder who on Earth we seem to be befriending." Lorcan added.

"Alice would like everyone to know she is currently within hearing range of their conversation" causing everyone to laugh.

"Sorry Als" Lily said, grinning as they headed to Astronomy which turned out to be pretty fun, despite how boring it sounded.

"And yes now we are being dragged to the library by Ellie.."

"Who would like to repeat Alice's previous statement. We need to study."

"As horrible as it sounds I think I agree with her" Lily said

"Oh no! Not you too!" Alice replied, clutching her chest.

"Meh- Raincheck for me" Lorcan said.

"Fine then let's go Ellie" Lily said smirking somewhat. "So rude"

"I think I'm going to regret this later" Alice said.

"Me too" Lorcan said. They glanced at each other.

"LILY!!!!" they said and ran towards the two girls.

"Let's take our work outside then," Ellie suggested. Since no one rejected the idea they walked out into the brisk autumn air. "Do wizards wear costumes for Halloween?" Ellie asked looking up from her work.

"We do, at our home," Lorcan said. "Hold on is it wrong?"

"Not at Hogwarts anyway.... Unless James and Al were lying. Oh Merlin save us all." Lily said. "Let's assume it's a no then"

A few hours later they decided to go for dinner. "Hey Ly, how's it going" Lorcan asked and dropped out of the group to speak to his twin.

"They're not identical are they?" Ellie asked, only to be met with a nod from Lily and a shake of the head from Alice.

"You two are gonna be the death of me"
