The best thing about Hogwarts without question was being surrounded by friends, and Lucy had wasted no time getting together with her favourite girls this year. Over the years the four of them had made a little home in a hidden corner of the rose garden and here they were now, huddling around a piffling flicker of a fire Lucy had tried to start. The weather was warming up at last, but these unwelcome cool days still struck from time to time and Lucy was wrapped up tight in a soft pink jersey and thick pastel scarf covered in hearts, huddling around the meager flames she had managed to conjure on a tiny pile of twigs.

"So, do you guys have goals for this year?"
She asked, eyes sparkling slightly with mischief. She'd had a few thoughts on her mind ever since Alice and Elliot's wedding, and... really well before, if she was honest. She was fourteen, and it was time to start setting proper goals, the kind of goals a teenager would have. "I'm gonna get a boyfriend. Or a girlfriend. Or lots of both, I haven't really decided. I just want romance, you know?" She grinned, rubbing her hands together for warmth. Having a doomed crush last year was all well and good, but Lucy was ready for the real thing, she was sure.
 
Briony twirled a leaf in her fingers, idly running it under her nose to really get the full plant-y smell out of it. Sure, people always talked about stopping to smell the roses, but what about the rose bush leaves? When was it their turn?

She hummed thoughtfully when Lucy broached the question of goals, rubbing the leaf idly on her cheek. It all sounded very official and proper and Briony had no idea.

"I'd like to write more I guess, or maybe finish something I'm writing, does that count?" She asked, tucking the leaf somewhere behind her ear. It immediately fell into her braid somewhere but Briony paid it no mind. She'd find it later. "Wait, why a boyfriend. Or girlfriend? Do you have people in mind or?" Briony didn't mind the idea of romance in general, it was all part of her favourite books and stories, fight the monsters, save the city, get the girl or boy, it was fun. The idea of doing that in real life felt a bit more far-fetched still somehow.
