A Question A Day

# Question 1 #

How do you take your coffee?

#####

You hear the cheering? That's the sound of success. The success of a school winning against its rival in a sport. What school? What rival? What sport? Those are all really good questions.

What school? Well, obviously the most known high school in all of Godric Hollow, Hogwarts High with their famous Phoenix mascot to represent them.

What rival? Hogwarts High's rival is Slytherin State, also known as the Snakes. They've always been each other's rival. Rumor says it all started with the principals of each school. The Snakes' principal, also known as Gellert Grindelwald, used to be friends with the Phoenixes' principal, the famous Albus Dumbledore.

What sport? Football, of course! It has always been the one of many competitions that may have started this whole rival thing. Who knows, maybe it could have been way before that.

Now, why are they cheering? Obviously because they won the game for most probably the millionth time in all of history. Try and keep up, please.

You can see Remus Lupin, the team's strategists and co-coach, celebrating with the team's own coach, Mrs. Rolanda Hooch (she may have given the rival team's own coach,  Tom Riddle, the middle finger, but that's just from excitment). You can see Sirius Black, co-captain, running to the stands to dramatically kiss his girlfriend, Marlene McKinnon, in victory. You can see Frank Longbottom hug his girlfriend, Alice Prewitt, in pure joy. You can see James Potter, Hogwarts's own Football Captain, run to twirl around his girlfriend in pride and joy.

"Didn't they break up?" asked Lily Evans, also known as Skater Girl, as she clapped in honor of her school's victory.

"No, they didn't," said Nymphadora Tonks, one of Lily's best friends, as she tried to hide her smile because a certain strategist was happy.

Dorcas Meadows gave the rival Snakes both of her middle fingers and then turned to Lily, "James Potter is still dating Kate McCoy. High school sweethearts if you must. Why?"

"Just asking," shrugged Lily, not ready to say anything.

Nympadora looked away from a certain strategist and looked at her best friend, "Lils. You know McCoy's reputation. I just can't wait for him to be free of her."

"He deserves happiness," protested Lily.

"Yeah. But as your friends, and I'm sure his friends think this too, we will be honest with you about what we think. We think his true happiness lies with someone else," said Dorcas Meadows truthfully.

And she possibly couldn't be farther from the truth. It's just matters of the heart take time, especially in this case of high school drama.

Lily entered the Science Lab and noticed that the science teacher was still not here. She kept listening to her music, Rise by Jonas Blue, and sat at her seat that was assigned to her from the beginning of the semester.

"Skater Girl," said her lab partner, but she couldn't hear him because of the AirPods in her ear.

"Skater Girl?" he asked again.

No answer.

He did something slightly stupid and pulled the AirPod out of her ear.

"Hey!"

"Skater Girl," nodded James as Lily glared at him.

"Potter," nodded back Lily, "can I have my AirPod back?"
