Closed Playing Dress Up

[Hazel Ashworth]

When Hazel had gone home and told her parents about her school year, they had listened and enjoyed her stories, but to Hazel's surprise, they were really enthusiastic about her new friend Lucy Holland. From what she could glean, her parents were sort of important. It didn't really matter to Hazel, but her parents had encouraged her to continue the friendship even over break, which had resulted in her owling Lucy for a playdate. Thankfully, the other girl had said yes, and now here Hazel was with her mother dropping her off at the Holland's house. It was pretty big, and Hazel wondered if Lucy's parents were also rich. Important people often were, she thought. She waited impatiently after her mother rang the doorbell, eager to see her friend.

 

[Lucy Holland]

Lucy had had friends over all the time before Hogwarts, but something felt extra special about it now. The friends she had met at school still lived at school in her mind, and it was going to be exciting seeing Hazel at home. She didn't waste any time, jumping up and hurrying to the door when it rang, and beamed at the sight of her friend when she opened it. "Haaaaazel!" She said brightly, hugging the Slytherin tightly. "Come on in!"

 

[Hazel Ashworth]

Hazel beamed at the sight of Lucy, happily hugging her back. "Lucy! Your house is so cool!" She said, following the girl in. She said a quick goodbye to her mother, who seemed to stay behind to talk to one of Lucy's parents briefly. Hazel was eager to get away from grownup talk. "Can I see your room?"
