Now playing : Sia - Cheap Thrills
“ Gotta do my hair, put my make-up on
It's Friday night, and it won't be long ”‹›‹›‹›
A couple of months later and Acacia managed to catch her dear professor's interest—No, Not in that way you nasty!
She just got invited last week by an idiotically grinning Slughorn. It didn't take alot of effort from her because she's a natural at potions and made sure to fill the man's head with compliments every here and then.
It was subtle and the man was holding onto her every word, So now here she is. In her dorm with Adaline and Clarabell helping her get ready.
She asked the room of requirements and it went extra. Filling the entire room with dresses that it looked like a store, Before Acacia could pick out the biggest ball gown she could get she controlled herself and went for a simple cream coloured dress.
She find her hair standing out and her eyes being brought out by the warm color, Seeing as her eyes are a cool blue. Clarabell helped her slip the dress on while Adaline apply the lightest of make-up to, in Adaline's own words, “Emphasize your beauty”.
All the while Acacia get ready with the help of her best friends, Thalia roll her eyes over and over and over again that the redhead wondered how she's not dizzy yet.
In the past 2 months the blue-eyed girl got closer than ever with Adaline and Clarabell. The three spent some nights just doin the craziest and weirdest shit one can think of inside their dorm.
One night Clarabell suggested they act like they're 8 again and built obstacle courses using their pillows and trunks, Another is when they roleplayed that they are stranded in an island and are left to survive til help comes and the most memorable one is when Clarabell transfigured her shoe into a guitar and they sang til 2 am and woke up with sore throats.
Thalia joined them in every shenanigans they pull and Clarabell practically moved in. Thalia is a puzzle to Acacia, The girl would laugh and smile with them during the games they'd play but when it's the day or at meal times, Thalia acts like a bitch.
Clarabell didn't mind and so did Adaline who got used to her peculiar behaviour. One time Clarabell told Acacia that the girl liked her and the redhead almost spat out her tea.
Acacia denied claiming she's not that attractive to attract someone of fellow sex but Adaline only agreed with Clarabell.
"Thalia, What do you think?" Clarabell called out to the purple-haired girl with a knowing grin and Acacia stood next to the brunette with a small smile.
Adaline wiggled her eyebrows at Thalia who's jaw dropped and Acacia could swore the girl blushed.
"You look like a person." The girl commented after clearing her throat and quickly looked away. "Now to and join your fellow slugs."
Adaline was laughing at the obvious tension and Clarabell only ushered her best friend out of the common room with a laughing Adaline trailing behind.
"Salazar, she's so gay for you." Adaline squeeled and Acacia can only snort still not believing her blonde friend.
"Have fun at dinner." Clarabell who pushed her out of the portrait called out and the redhead can only chuckle to herself for the crazy friends she got herself.

"Remind me again why you're going out?" It was after curfew and James is holding his cloak with a wide grin.
"Because Lily-Flower is going to Slughorn's dinner and I need to see her looking beautiful in a dress." The glasses-wearing boy replied as if what he said was predictable.
Remus would never say it out loud but his best friend's infatuation with the green-eyed redhead is starting to freak him out.
It was cute back in first and second year, funny in third and fourth but now that they're at fifth? He's acting alot like a stalker.
"Uhh yeah goodluck with that." Sirius called out uninterestedly, He was too occupied with combing his hair.
"Padfoot. You've been tending to your hair for almost an hour now." Peter whined because he was growing tired of Sirius humming while he make sure his amazing hair is as soft and healthy as ever.
The long-haired boy only rolled his eyes and Remus was the only one to acknowledge James who dashed out the door.

Acacia is used to formal dinners because her family would parade her around. The Fallencrests take pride on their daughter's beauty that it was no secret she's to be arranged to the Malfoy heir once she's come of age but now that's the least of her worries because Draco is not yet born.
Walking down the hallway her 2-inched heels click-clacked and it was the only sound one could hear in the dark and deserted hallway.
She didn't look too overdressed for the event and thanked Merlin she still had her self-control. The goal of this dinner was to go smooth and for her to get closer to Lily Evans.
She's gonna be protecting the woman with her life, Might as well get to know her. Acacia still have no idea what to do with her new life in the 70's so she's decided to make connections until after they graduate and Voldemort to spark the first war.
On her way she saw Lily just about to enter Slughorn's office and made a move to call her when she crashed into something.
She's certainly not blind so there's no way in salazar's secret chamber that she bumped into something.
Almost falling on her bum she was caught by James Potter. Who appeared out of nowhere and for the second time since they woke up in the same bed he had his arms wrapped around her waist catching he fall.
Lips parted she looked into his hazel eyes that had hints of gold in them and her heart was abnormally racing. His lips tightly shut he found himself lost in her cobalt blue eyes with his thoughts a mess.

im sorry but spitting out tea is so aesthetic to me.
also I managed to force myself to finally make the two have some moment.
I suck at fluff and romantic stuff.
happens when you're a hoe for angst.
