Cherry Bomb

"I think headmaster will find this laughable…" Alice held back a giggle and wrapped an arm around Lily. "Well, I will visit you as often as I can if you do get detention for life. And we’ll come up with a plan to bust you out." Tapping her chin, Alice glanced back at the graffiti. "If we can clean this up soon, maybe nobody will notice. What did you use to do that anyways? It’s impressive."

"I think the headmaster is nicer to you than me." Lily chuckled. She stared up at her creation for a while longer. "I actually looked up a spell and did it. That's not just paint.. it's magic." She sighed. "I didn't think the castle would let me do it originally, afterall it has a mind of it's own, but sure enough."

Just when I think our family can’t get any weirder, I’m proved wrong every single bloody time. Why is he using it as a guinea pig?

Not a literal guinea pig, Lou. He just exploded my pillows because he's planning to do it to someone else and wanted to make sure it would work first.

"lily! Why would you do that? You better hope no one saw you."

"Of course no one saw me, but... I did sign it..."

Lily Luna Potter I am indecent. 

"Well, I certainly wouldn't call it indecent. You're quite decent in my eyes. In fact, I think I should burn this towel."

You asked about my manhood Lily, think about it.

"I don't need to think about it. I know exactly what I said."

Hand it over, then.

Lily handed over a box wrapped in reds and greens with a big golden bow on top, inside was a hand knit scarf. "Open it!"

Really? What kind of present?

The kind that you'll love!

Only three? You need to up your game, Lils. And why did he do that? Did you set fire to his broom again?

Well, one was for that Gryffindor graffiti, so I think that should count for somethin'. No! I didn't do anything! He was using my pillow as a guinea pig... so watch your pillows, too.

Shhh…I’m tired…

But I got you a present.

Well?

"What's on your face?"

Can you hand me a towel?

I know, things just got hectic with exams and work and all. What’s been happening, Lils?

Well, I've gotten three detentions, and James blew up my pillow.

I mean… a little yeah… I don’t think we’re talking about the same type of proof.

"What kind of proof are you talking about?"

Alice couldn’t help herself from giggling uncontrollably as she clutched her stomach from laughter. “Oh, don’t get me wrong, Lil. This is cool.” She gasped in between her laughs before trying to calm down. “Whatever shall we do with you, Lilypad?”

Lily continued to stare at the graffiti. "Well, if the headmaster doesn't kill me... we'll still do nothing with me because I'll be in detention until I'm dead." She said, and turned to face Alice with a tormented look on her face. "You don't think they'll tell mum, d'you?"

"You know what? I think I will. Have you found a dress yet?"

"I haven't even started looking, honestly."

"Excuse you! I can totally take a hit!"

"Hit after hit, and fall down. Hard. I mean someone who can take a hit and keep standing, love."

"Sorry."

"Like I said, m'used to it." She shrugged. "However, flying quills... not so much." Lily indicated the one he'd picked up from under her seat.
