Chapter 5*

The name suits her, Lovia thought. Her hair was dark and reached to the small of her back. Almost black but they looked lighter in the lights around them. Camille had deep brown eyes that looked so welcoming and charming. So deep and dreamy. And she appeared to be too. With her light green dress and the glittery bracelets, Camille looked just like Tiana. A Princess she had read about besides Cinderella.

Lovia could tell that they would be real good friends in the future. And she hoped that Camille thought so too.

"I'm Lovia Rose. It's so nice to meet you."

"This is Peter? The childhood bestie? The one that didn't answer any of your letters? The one you've told me about for the last few years." Camille asked once again with big eyes. Their focus kept switching between Peter and Lovia but they obviously stayed glued on Peter for longer.

Lovia sighed and couldn't keep her eyes from looking at him any longer. She found herself unable to. He was just there. His presence alone was enough to make her heart flip and make her skin crawl. In a good way. Most definitely a good way. The way his dirty blonde hair was still as messy on his head as it was years ago. His figure not full of muscle but not to skinny anyway.

Peter was good looking, Lovia had to admit. He was really good looking. Her eight year old self thought so too when they were young and her older self couldn't help but still agree. To be honest, Lovia didn't even try to convince herself otherwise. And she couldn't help but feel giddy about it. Peter was still as much the boy as in their childhood. From the looks at least. However, Lovia had the feeling that personality wise a lot has happened. She felt as though she had missed a lot. And she has, I mean, it's been years. Still, the feeling that filled her body when she saw Peter was just the same. And just as strong.

"Yep, that one." She mumbled without taking her eyes off him. "The very same."

"Damn. That's been quite the surprise, hasn't it?" Camille wondered. This all happened in the time span of two hours, so it had to be a shock for sure. And as Camille looked at her friends she just knew that the feelings they'd been talking about all those years were back. Or maybe they had never left.

"You have no idea." Lovia looked back at her friend that was watching her with a supporting smile. "I have no idea how all of this happened, Cami. Absolutely no idea. But he's really here. He's a wizard. And he goes to Hogwarts."

It was the first time she had said it aloud and Lovia could practically feel some of the tension leave her body.

"And how do you feel about it?"

"I have no idea. I'm obviously ecstatic that I get to meet him again. Maybe get to know the older Peter. I am just so shocked. But I'm hopeful."

Camille smiled at her friend brightly and took her hand. "Then stick to the hope. You guys once lost each other but it seems like fate wanted you to meet again."

oOoOoOo

Walking Closer to the lake, Lovia started to pass trees and a glade. The nature was utterly beautiful she was sure. Everything was just so well grown and groomed here. She had already known the extent of magical nature and its beauty.  However, this nature was different. She was real and allowed no semblance of magic. It was fundamental and elemental, Lovia could see that. It reminds you of your home. Not Paris but London. Her home with her garden and the tree house. Her home with Peter.
