Closed Friends Making Things Better

[Genevieve Fuentes]

Evie did not have a very good year last year, but she could feel herself getting slightly better, which was better than nothing. The girl had organised to see Molly during the break and Essie had even told her it was a good idea to get her out and about. After helping Essie a bit last year, her sister was a little nicer to her, which was probably the only good thing that came out of everything. Evie was happy to go to Molly's house but tried not to get her hopes up. She loved Molly, but just hoped she wouldn’t bring anything up that reminded her of last year. With a smile on her face, Evie apparated with her father to the place where her friend lived. Her father waited at the gate while Evie walked up the driveway. She took a deep breath before knocking on the door, just hoping they had some fun adventures ahead of them.

Molly was super excited that it was now the break. She didn't have to worry about any school work of any kind for a little while. Molly had decided that she wanted to invite her friend from school over. She was surprised that her mum even had said yes to this hangout. The girl begged her siblings to not be annoying while Evie was over. She didn't want her siblings to embarrass her or anything.

Her mum was out for a bit to get some pizzas and other snacks as Molly waited for her friend. Molly was just cleaning the last bits of her side of her shared room when she suddenly heard a knock. The Hufflepuff cheered when her friend had arrived. Molly skipped happily towards the door and opened it. "Evie! Hi! Come in! My mum just went out to get some food for us. She shouldn't be too long now" Molly says with a giggle, as she opened the door wider to allow her friend to come in. She noticed a man standing just outside her gate, guessing that it was Evie's dad. "Hello, mister!" Molly calls out enthusiastically to the man with a big wave and smile.

Evie loved how energetic Molly was. It definitely made Evie even more excited as the door opened and she saw her friend's beaming face. "Hey! What food did she get?" Evie asked, hoping it was something that she liked. She thought that was very nice of her mother to do that. As Molly waved at her father, her father waved back before heading off in the opposite direction. Now Evie and Molly had the whole day to themselves. "Where's your bedroom? Do you have anything we could do in there?" Evie wondered if Molly had any dragon figurines they could play with as her father only let her bring two of hers in case she lost them. She didn't think she did, but it was worth a try.

Molly smiled at her friend. "She just gonna grab some pizzas and some other snacks," Molly says with a small smile, as she closed the door behind her when Evie walked in. She had hoped that Evie was gonna have a nice time with her today. She smiled happily when Evie had mentioned her bedroom. "Oh! It's over there, we can hang out in there while we wait for the pizza!" Molly says with a giggle, as she dragged her friend into her shared bedroom with her sister, which was on the right at the end of the hall.

The room was pretty small, just enough to fit two beds on either side. Though both sides of the room consisted of major personality differences. On the left side was colourful and had a lot of pink things, jewellery and stuff everywhere on the tall drawer at the end of the bed. Some posters of boybands and photos of Molly and her friends. On the right side of the room, it was more tom-boyish looking, mostly colours of blue can be seen. Some toys and different animal figurines were displayed, including dragons, some quidditch players and all.

"Um, I dunno what we could do. I have a few board games if you wanna play. My sister has a few figurines if you wanna have a look or play with those. I don't mind what we do though" Molly says with an excited smile and shrugs. She was just excited that her friend was here and wanted to spend some time with her. Her sister probably wasn't gonna be happy if they touched any of her stuff, but she honestly didn't care.

Evie excitedly followed Molly into her bedroom, looking around at everything that was there. It would have been horrible to share a room with one's sister, and Evie was glad that she didn't have to do so with Essie. All of Essie's pink pillows would surely get in the way a lot of times, as well as her incense which would make Evie's nose run. She felt incredibly lucky in that moment. Admittedly, Evie liked Molly's sisters side of the room better. She made her way over to her figurines, touching the dragon ones first. "I didn't know your sister liked dragons!" she exclaimed, flying the dragon onto the floor. She sat down with it, before finding a giraffe figurine too that had fallen off the shelf. "Look at this fake dragon." Evie said with a chuckle. It looked very out of place with the dragon figurine towering over it. She pulled her own dragon figurine out of her pocket. "Did you want to play with my one?" she asked Molly, holding it out for her.

The Hufflepuff didn't mind sharing her room with her sister. Sure it was annoying at times because there were times when either one or the other wanted space but honestly their only space was their bedroom. Sometimes there would be arguments between them due to the age difference as well as them having different likes and dislikes, but she didn't mind sharing the room. She liked her sister's company. Most of the time.

Molly giggled as Evie spoke. "Oh yeah, she's like obsessed with dragons and animals," Molly says with a shrug and smile. She didn't mind dragons or animals either, she thought they were awesome. She always had her imagination run wild with them. She laughed at Evie's comment about the giraffe figurine. Molly hoped that Fiona didn't mind them touching her things. But if Fiona threw a fit, she wasn't gonna back down from that. "The fake dragon looks amazing," Molly says with a giggle. The Hufflepuff sat down with her friend and nodded. "Sure! I would love to!" Molly says with a giggle, as she excitedly takes Evie's dragon. She tries to imitate a sound of a dragon. But it honestly didn't sound right. "What sort of dragon is this one?" Molly asked as she raised the one she was holding.
