Practice Makes Perfect (Lily)

[Deleted]

Hennah knew if she were to be a skilled witch, she had to learn Non-Verbal Magic. For her, there was no other choice due to her inability to speak. She was very good in her studies that didn't require a voice such as Potions and History of Magic, but she knew to excel in her other courses, she had to master this ability. Fortunately, the staff had been understanding toward her case and tried to work with her. Hennah tried just as hard to make them proud as well.

She was slowly getting the hang of Non-Verbal Magic at this point. As she stood by the Black Lake, throwing flowers into the water, she decided to practice some more. Moving her wand properly, she concentrated and mouthed out "wingardium leviosa". The flowers didn't move and she frowned a bit. She closed her eyes and really tried hard to concentrate. She then opened them and tried once again. This time, the flowers floated a little into the air before falling back into the water. She smiled at this. It wasn't much, but it was a start.

Lily was walking along the lake side, this time of day was beautiful and today she had a good feeling something amazing was going to happen. The red head started to think about the letter she sent her parents and how she hadn't gotten a reply from them yet. Sighing Lily wondered if something was going on that she didn't know about. Looking up from the ground she saw a younger student. Lily knew some things about her but not very much. Watching the girl cast the Non-Verbal magic she smiled, she wasn't that good with magic, even if she tried hard she couldn't use non-verbal. The girl clapped for the younger one and smiled. "Very nice, I wish I could do things like that." It was there that Lily saw the true adorableness in the girl. Walking up she took a seat on one of the rocks and smiled.

"I'm Lily," the older girl offered the younger girl her hand.

Hennah turned and smiled at the girl who approached and clapped. It was a Sixth Year Gryffindor, and Hennah felt very proud when the girl said she wished she could do something like that. Hennah knew she was far from harnessing the full ability of Non-Verbal Magic, but it was nice to have someone noticed she was improving here.

When the girl introduced herself as Lily, Hennah took her wand and wrote her name in the sand by the lake. She then rose and pointed to herself. She then walked over to her bag and took out a small sack of lemon drops from Honeyduke's. She popped one in her mouth and offered one to Lily.

Hennah then thought of something. The girl was a Sixth Year Gryffindor and named Lily. She also had red hear. Hennah wondered if she was actually Lily Potter. Hennah loved the stories about how Harry Potter and his friends saved the wizarding world from Voldemort. However, Hennah didn't want to write out a question asking her if that's who she was. Hennah imagined Lily Potter, be she this girl or someone else, probably got tired of people always asking about her dad.

Lily smiled. "Its nice to meet you Hennah." When the smaller girl offered her a pice of candy lilly took one and smiled. "Thank you. " the girl could see the wonder in Hennahs eyes, it was normal for the girl to be asked if she was Harrys daughter and she didnt mind, she loved her father and found that it was a great thing to be her daughter. "If you were wondering I am Lily Potter. Its ok to ask." The woman smiled a reassuring smile, she didnt want to sound arrogant.

"What about yourself? Jack told me your really good with non verbal magic, and it seems to me she was right." Lily spoke to everyone and even a shy person like jack was someone lily spoke to. Lily thought that the gril was adorable and she had never known anyone so young and so smart.

Hennah smiled when the girl said she was Lily, though Hennah was far from the "I only want to be your friend because your dad is famous" type. Hennah's heart and spirit were far too warm for that. She nodded to the girl after introductions were made.

When Lily spoke of Jack and how her friend in Hufflepuff said Hennah was good at Non-Verbal Magic, Hennah blushed that Jack would say such a nice thing, but then shook her head and motioned with her fingers that she only knew a little so far. Her tutor Andrew was really helping her get the hang of it though. She was so happy when he said that at the rate she was learning, she would be fully skilled in the ability in a matter of months.

Hennah stepped over and sat down on her beach blanket and offered Lily a seat. She was interested in talking to this girl, and again not just because of who she was. Lily just seemed very nice and someone Hennah wanted to be friends with.
