Flutter • James Potter

1.2

Odd. Maybe It was from her parents, and she didn't realize an owl had dropped by sometime to deliver it. Eloise shook her head, and quickly rushed back to her side of the room, and opened her dark blue wooden chest that held most of her clothes and necessities she needed.

"Bloody hell El, do you mind not causing a ruckus this early in the morning?" Junie's tired voice shot through her ears, startling her a bit. Eloise paused and stared at Junie's exhausted expression with a playful grin on her face.

"Wake up Junie, we have to get to Hogsmeade before the boys. I don't want to see their ugly faces this weekend."

"James wouldn't like that." Eloise raised an eyebrow at what her friend had said, confused as to why she brought up her messy-haired best friend.

"James knows that I call him ugly--"

"No, not about that you idiot. James would be disappointed that you wouldn't want to spend this weekend with him." Junie clarified, watching as Eloise's face continue to grow in confusion at her words.

"Why would he be upset? He sees me all the time, and we hang out together like almost every day aside from when I'm hanging out with you lot." Eloise tilted her head to the side, similar to a puppy who was confused at its owner.

"No that's not what I meant--"

"Let's go, I don't want to wait any longer ladies." Lily Evans' excited voice muffled through their room door, causing both girls to look away from each other and towards their door that was now opened, and there stood Lily in her school uniform.

"Why are you in your uniform?" Eloise asked, completely forgetting the previous conversation she had with Junie.

"My other clothes are in the dirty pile, I forgot to do laundry yesterday. We can go shopping for clothes during our trip." Lily replied with a bright smile on her face, as Eloise nodded at the girl agreeing with her as well. Junie glanced between the two girls and shook her head.

"Fine, I'll meet you guys down there. I need to finish a few things first." Eloise and Lily sent her questioning glances but said nothing, knowing they wouldn't get anything out of the short girl.

"Alright then, Lily wait for me in the common room. I need to change." Lily nodded her head and walked out of the room closing the door behind her.

   After waiting for a while, the girls had finally reached outside the castle and headed towards the small village.

   "So why exactly, are we doing in Hogsmeade?" Eloise asked, shivering slightly in the beige sweater that Molly had knitted her as a gift for Christmas.

   "No reason at all if I'm being honest, I just wanted to talk and spend time with you." Lily replied looking ahead, avoiding contact with the green eyes beauty.

   "We could've done that in the comfort of our dorm rooms, why must we suffer doing that in the blistering cold." Eloise whined, Lily laughed at her comment finding Eloise's sarcasm comedic relief.

   "No, but I wanted to speak to you about something." Lily muttered softly, Eloise turned to look at her with confusion but waited for her to continue.

   "It's about--"

   "My Lily pad!" The two girls groaned in annoyance, knowing whose voice that belonged to. Eloise rolled her eyes in irritation, wanting to know what Lily wanted to talk about.
