Dancin' in the Moonlight// Open to All

[Amanda James]

Amy let out a yawn. Perhaps it was time for bed. She floated over to the cossu common room and did her hair. She put it in two ponytails on the the sides of her head.

Amy walked upstairs slowly got her pajamas on. She collapsed herself onto the bed beside Ashley and Tawny. She drifted off to sleep.
-------------------------
Amy woke up and smiled. Today she had no classes and could therefore take her time and do stuff. She made herself a cup of cocoa and sat on the couch in the common room.

[Lily Lockhart]

<sub>Lily woke up, eager with excitement. Today was the weekend, and Lily had no lessons. She changed into her blood red dress and sandals, and then Lily got a hot cup of Cocoa.

As Lily entered the common room, she saw Amanda. Lily waved, and sat next to her. Lily had a sip of her hot Cocoa, while opening her laptop.

Lily asked Amanda what she wanted to do, while brushing her back into a french plait.</sub>

[Amanda James]

Amy finished up her cocoa and put away the cup. She dicided to go out for a hover. Lily was gonna ride her broomstick. The girls had some breakfast and heAded onto the pitch.

Amy clicked her heels and rose into the air. She spun around and started to do some flips.

She made a motion for Lily to come up.

[Lily Lockhart]

<sub>Both girls ran to the pitch - well, Amanda hovering and Lily running. Lily had brought her Firebolt, but Amanda had decided to hover around the Quidditch pitch. As Lily entered the pitch, it was deserted. Perfect, she thought. At least they won't be disturbed by others.

Lily jumped upon her broom, and kicked off the ground. She felt great, and a speeding sensation was settling in her stomach. Lily speed around the pitch, and around and around.

While going around the pitch, Lily looked over her shoulder. She saw some Rourie First Years studying. But Lily wasn't playing attention to where she was going. Lily went to turn her head, but she saw a pillar right in front of her. She had no time to move, and crashed into the pillar, falling down and down...</sub>

[Amanda James]

The girls were doing some sweet moves in the air when Lily started to fall. Amanda panicked and rushed down. Lily was lying on her side panting.

"Reparo!" Amy shouted pointed her wand at Lily. Her leg seemed to shift position, which was a good sign. Amy conjured a pillow for lily's leg. She then carried her friend back to the dorm.

She seemed fine afrer some cocoa, so they watched a movie.

[Lily Lockhart]

<sub>Lily woke up, in the Cossu common room. She scratched her head. What was Lily doing here? She turned around to see that Amanda was reading a book. "I am such an idiot." Lily said weakly. "I should have paid attention to where I was going, Thank you for helping me."

Lily had a sip of some hot Cocoa, and felt better. Amanda had put on a movie, and Lily started watching it with her.

After the movie, Lily felt better again. Both girls then went back to the Quidditch pitch, this time Amanda bringing her broom, and Lily asked her what she wanted to do first.</sub>

[Lily Lockhart]

<sub>Both girls decided to practice finding the snitch, so Lily hopped on her broom and kicked off the ground. Amanda had opened the box and let out the snitch, so all Lily needed to do was find it.

Lily's eyes squinted around the area, eager to see a glint of gold out of the corner of her eye.

After about 10 minutes, Lily finally saw a gold fluttering ball by the Rourie stands. Amanda had spotted it to, and both girls zoomed down to the stands, aiming for the snitch. Hands stretched out, reaching further and further...</sub>

[Amanda James]

After about 10 minutes, Lily finally saw a gold fluttering ball by the Rourie stands. Amanda had spotted it to, and both girls zoomed down to the stands, aiming for the snitch. Hands stretched out, reaching further and further...

Amanda didn't know who would get it. They were both at the exact same place, reaching out their hands, both wanting the golden fluttery ball that was fluttering inches from their hands.

Amanda reached for her wand. She knew a spell that might actually work. She pointed it to her wand and used the arm growing spell. Her arm grew at least a foot. Amanda caught it!

[Lily Lockhart]

<sub>Amanda had caught the snitch by stretching her arm! Amanda did a victory dance while Lily stared at her in disbelief. She didn't know you could cheat! Lily would so get Amanda back for that! "You little cheat!" Lily said, laughing. "I'm going to get you back for that!" she added.

Amanda let go of the snitch, and both girls waited 1 minute. Then they zoomed off, trying to find the snitch.

Then, after 10 minutes, Lily saw the snitch by the Commentators stand! But Amanda had spotted it first, as she had already seen it. But this time, Lily had a cunning plan. "Accio Snitch!" Lily whispered, pointing her Phoenix Feathered wand at the snitch. The snitch zoomed into her hand, and Lily grabbed the golden ball. She juggled it and smirked.</sub>

[Amanda James]

"You little cheat!" Lily had said, laughing. "I'm going to get you back for that!" she added as Amanda smirked. Apparently Lily didn't know that cheating was allowed.

Amanda let go of the snitch, and both girls waited 1 minute. Then they zoomed off, trying to find the snitch.

Amanda saw a golden glimmer from the corner of her eye and darted for the snitch. "accio snitch!" Lily had screamed as the snitch hurtled towards her. Amy rolled her eyes as they headed to the dining chamber for lunch.

[Lily Lockhart]

<sub>Lily jumped off her broomstick and headed off to lunch with Amanda. It was quite a fun afternoon, perhaps cutting out the cheating incident. Lily looked at Amanda at the dining chamber, and noticed how much she was like the sister she never had. They got on quite well, and Lily sometimes forgot that there was a couple of years age gap between them. Not that it mattered, mind.

After finishing dinner, both girls went up to the common room, where they both had some Hot Chocolate and sweets. Lily had Princess curled up on her lap, as she snoozed away. Then, Lily had an idea. "Amanda, do you mind if I take Princess for a walk? Our Pygmy Puffs can come as well." She added, as she knew Amanda might want to come.

Lily clipped the lead on Princess and Annie while waiting for an answer.

OOC: Amanda, careful not to god-mod. Lily might have not screamed Accio Snitch.</sub>

[Amanda James]

"Amanda, do you mind if I take Princess for a walk? Our Pygmy Puffs can come as well" Lily had offered Amanda. Amanda really liked the idea. As long as it wasn't in the woods.

Amanda and Lily both hated the woods, so they probably wouldn't choose there to do it. Amanda got her pygmy puff Ashley and they were off.

As they were walking around the lake, Amanda realized that Lily was two years older than her. Lily sort of reminded Amanda of her late older sister Eve. they both were really good pranksters and were always fun for Amanda to be around.



OOC: Sorry! I misread and thought she did scream it.

[Lily Lockhart]

<sub>As Annie jumped on Lily's shoulder, Princess yapped and started scratching at Lily's legs. Lily knew that Princess was jealous that Annie sat on her shoulder while Princess had to strut behind. Lily laughed, "Alright Princess, you lazy dog!" She got out a small bag from her wardrobe, which was used for carrying puppies in. Lily picked Princess gently up and popped her into the dog bag. Princess stuck her head out from the side, lolling her tongue at the side of her mouth. Lily smiled, Princess was quite cute. Annie nudged at her ear slightly, as if reminding Lily that she was here to. Lily patted Annie and then quickly got a stash of sweets, most of them her mother bought, the rest Lily bought herself. When Amanda was ready, both girls went to The Gardens.

Lily sat down on the bench next to Amanda, and took out her poodle out of the bag and on her lap. Her blood red dress was covered in animal hair, but Lily didn't have a care.

Lily observed the surroundings. It was getting on evening, as the sun was beginning to go down. Maybe Lily could go outside and star gaze. Sometimes, Lily found she could have a real Sournois character inside her, that would probably be the house she would have been sorted into if she wasn't a Cossu. Not because she was mean, horrid and stuck-up, but because she has the daring to take night strolled around Beauxbatons. She quite liked exploring the depths of The Forbidden Forest, as there were many lurking animals and unseen things in there. Lily could maybe visit there some day.

OOC: Its ok Amanda, but also, you slightly god-modded again. Lily may not actually hate the woods at all.</sub>

[Amanda James]

Amanda and Lily were now both sitting on a bench in the gardens, watching the sunset. It was beautiful. There were so many different oranges, blues, and pinks. She watched intently as the sun lowered, and stars began to be visible. Amanda was sure she saw Jupiter. But of course, Amanda was terrible at astronomy. It was Lily who was an astronomy genius. She would surely know which star that was.

"Hey Lily," Amanda said, "What planet is that?". She pointed up at the silvery dot directly above them. The girls then stood up and walked back to the Beauxbatons castle. Many students were already inside, going to bed. Some were probably just hanging out in their common room.

The girls reached their dormitory. Amanda had know idea where their roommate Alice was. Perhaps she was out for a walk with her cat Lucy. Amanda got changed and sat down on her bed with a good book.
