The Foundations of The Unexpected

(I wrote this entire this shot at 1:00 AM in the morning while listening to Outer Space / Carry On by 5 Seconds of Summer and I highly recommend you listen to it while you read this because it's half a song fic half not.)

"Nothing like the rain,

Nothing like the rain.

When you're in outer space,

When you're in outer space."

-5 Seconds of Summer, Outer Space/ Carry On

Spontaneous.

That's what Lily wanted to do.

Something Spontaneous.

She wanted to do something you wouldn't expect her to be doing on a simple Thursday afternoon.

You would probably think she would be sitting in her usual spot by the colour stained windows.

Which is exactly what she was doing now. Lily was doing the expected.

And the thing she learnt that day was most people noticed you more if you were doing the un.

This was her exam ridden, rambling, reasons behind why she got up from her prime seat in the common room, with rain battering the window and simply walked out. Leaving all work behind as she walked down the empty corridors without a word.

Her thoughts were drifting along, almost detached from her body. Lily suspected this unique feeling was a result of hours of classwork and study for hours (without fail) she had completed throughout the past week.

Most of the school was studying or doing homework of some kind. It was almost eerie to see how little people went against that. The vast and still corridors we evident of that.

Yet her renewed and slightly bizarre sense of life was rudely interrupted by a sound of joyous laughter which filled the before silent halls.

Lily recognised the group just from the sound of their bellowing laughs and obnoxiously loud banter. And was not at all surprised when the group rounded the corner in front of her, ever laughing still. Yet she was hardly bothered by this, nothing interrupting her steady pace and my longing to get to her destination of anywhere.

However, Lily suspect one my find it almost near impossible to walk past these four lanky teenage without comment.

Sirius catches her eyes first an element of surprise on his face and the laughter dies out as the rest of the group catch her vibrant red headed topped figure.

"Lily Evans not studying in the prime age of 5:00 pm on a Thursday. But surely... Your infamous place at the window will be taken if you're wondering at the castle now!" Sirius said quite dramatically, a performance worthy of his nature.

"I'm experiencing the unexpected." Lily said confidently.

"Err, good for you Lil. I'll admit you did take me off guard. We usually have these corridors to ourselves at this time of the year." Sirius said uncertainly, obviously confused.

She couldn't help but notice James still smiling behind Sirius, even his eyes participating. Lily couldn't help but let out a small smile back, it was just so infectious.

"Where did this break of routine come from?" James quipped at her.

"When I realised how much more attention you get from doing the unexpected." She joked. "I mean look at you all, stopping on your way to raid the kitchens or some other plan to talk to me?"
