Amazons VS Marauders

Chapter 20: The Pegasus

"Holly!" Elizabeth whispered when she saw the young Slytherin in front of the train's restrooms.

Holland Cordero turned around quickly, her brown hair flying around her face, when her eyes met the Pegasus'. She joined her friend into the cabin, and they locked themselves in.

"Stop calling me like that", Holland rolled her eyes, a little smile playing on her pink lips.

"Okay okay, sorry", Elizabeth mumbled. "Theresa is coming at my place, right?"

"Yes, I explained her everything, and she was in. I am looking forward to speak more with her, I've barely seen her lately. And Theresa isn't the kind off girl to go unnoticed", Holland sighed. "Anyway, Sofia is coming too?"

"Yes, I succeeded in convincing her. It took me a lot of time, you know?" Elizabeth said. "First of all, I had to talk with her, which was quite hard. It was like speaking to a wall. Then, she slowly let some emotions out, and I finally saw our Sof' once again. So yeah, she's coming."

"I hope it'll work", Holland announced, bitting her lip.

"I'm sure it will. We're The Amazons. We became friends in the weirdest way possible, and we used to share everything. It'll come back just like before, of course. There's no other options."

Holland opened her mouth, ready to add something, but closed it. She smiled to Elizabeth, and put her brown hair into a ponytail.

"Yeah, it will", Holland repeated. "It will be okay."

Elizabeth could sense that her friend wasn't so sure about the situation. She could understand why, Theresa and Sofia both had so big egos. But Lizzy knew how to keep faith, she was the most optimistic one of the gang. Everything could be fixed. That's what her parents always told her.

"I am so excited, we'll spend two weeks, only the four of us! We won't have to hide! And you'll meet Ingrid", Elizabeth said.

"Yes, it sure will be awesome, if Tess and Sof' find a way to grow up a little in those vacations. It wouldn't be wrong."

Elizabeth smiled, at her friend's honesty. The young Hufflepuff couldn't say those kind of things, no matter how much she thought it. It was easy, for her: as soon as it can hurt someone, don't say it. Unless it was a situation where it was important to be candid.

"Where are you living, already?" Holland asked.

"Bristol. My house isn't big, but we'll figure a way to all fit in it."

"That's perfect, I'm in with everything my parents wouldn't do."

"Your parents would have a heart attack if they knew where you're going", Lizzy said. "You, Holland Cordero, Heiress of the Cordero's fortune, will be sleeping in a Muggle house, without any magic, in a house that doesn't even have three bathrooms, owned by little peasants."

Holland smirked.

"They would die from shame. Their daughter is a bloodtraitor. My parents would disown me if they knew."

"It's true, but why?"

"What do you mean 'why'?"

"Well, you're their unique child. They should love you whatever you decide to do. It's not a parent's job?"

Holland smiled sadly at Elizabeth.

"You have amazing parents, Lizzy, I can understand why you're confused. But people like my parents only care about their values, no matter how dumb it truly is. I just have to be like them, or they won't accept me as a Cordero anymore. I've accepted it. I know that I am not like them, and the people I'm the closest to know that too. But they have to believe I'm their clone. Anyway, I have to go, Blair and Court' must be wondering where I am."
