Year Two
fourteen. Glasses

"Lucy! You're here!" Magnolia smiled at her friend who just arrived with all her personal belongings. Lucille was having a sleepover with Magnolia until the day they had to head back to Hogwarts.

"Nice glasses." Magnolia pointed to the glasses that Lucille wore. Turns out her eye sight wasn't the best, so she had gotten glasses over the summer. Magnolia took Lucille's hand, and toured her through the mansion.

"Hello Maggie, who's this?" The two girls had run into Franklin, and Lucille basically fell in love he was so perfect, and his accent was dashing.

"Oh this is my friend, Lucille Vagabonde." Magnolia introduced Lucille who gave a small wave. Franklin smiled before introducing himself.

"Pleasure to meet you Lucille, I'm Franklin Malvorseve, Maggie's oldest brother." He shook her hand, and Lucille was a warm pink colour which made Franklin laugh. The way his face was structured and his brown hair, she was in love. Then again, he was sixteen, she was twelve. She had noticed that Franklin had looked a lot like his mother, and Magnolia and Claudius looked more like their dad. She found it funny how Claudius was an exact replica of his dad when Xayne was younger.

Lucille adored Malvorseve Mansion, It was magnificent. Everyone in her family was so nice to her. Even though her mother was hesitant on letting her go, she agreed.

"And this is my room!" Magnolia dragged Lucille into a room that was filled with purple and gray. Magnolia had magic in every living aspect of her room. She had a broom sweeping up something In the corner, and she had a rotating closet.

"Your room is so cool!" Lucille says as she sets her stuff on Magnolia's bed, Magnolia nods. Her brother, Claudius, then walked into her room to meet Lucille. Claudius was handsome, but Lucille thought Franklin was more dashing.

"Well you have fun with your friend Mags, Montague, Frankie, Adrian, and I are going to be playing Quidditch outside." Claudius ruffled Magnolia's hair, waved at Lucille and then walked out of Magnolia's room. Lucille stared in awe at the girls room, it was huge and magnificent.

"Wanna go watch?" Magnolia wiggles her eyebrows at Lucille. Lucille laughs and blushes, she nods and they head outside. They walked outside and saw that Claudius and Montague were on a team, and Adrian and Franklin were.

"Wooo! Go Frankie!" Magnolia cheered for her brother who just had gotten the quaffle through the post. Lucille cheered quietly, but she made herself heard.

"Wanna go see my broom?" Magnolia dragged Lucille through a rose garden, and out to a shed. Magnolia turned on the light with her wand, and showed her the broom. It was a new Nimbus 2001.

"Woah." Lucille looked at the black polish stick, Magnolia stood proudly with it. She placed it back into its case and they headed out of the shed.

"Mr. Malfoy got the whole Slytherin Quidditch team brooms to get Draco a spot as seeker on the team," She tells Lucille, and Lucille rolls her eyes. 'Of course Draco would get his father to do something like that'.
"I got one because of course I'm going to get spot as chaser, I'm better than Claudius!"

"Kids! Lunch is ready!" Persephone Malvorseve shouts from the sun room. Lucille and Magnolia as watched as the boys quickly flew down from their brooms, and ran inside.

When Magnolia and Lucille too their seats the boys were already almost finished with their sandwiches. Lucille quietly waved at the two other boys who must be friends of Claudius.

"Don't get back on those brooms after lunch! We are going to Diagon Alley for school supplies, I got your letters. Adrian, your mother owl'd me your galleons, Montague I'm still waiting for your mother's owl, and Lucille you've got yours right?" Lucille nodded, and the two boys who were friends with Claudius looked over to Lucille.
