Lily was playing with her cat, trying out spells. So far, the cat had been picked up and flipped over, which it liked. Lily leafed through the rest of the book, which was called, "Playing Magic on Your Cat". She found a spell which was supposed to tickle the cat's nose and then lead it across the room, like it was chasing a mouse. As she spoke the words "wingardiam leviosa", which was supposed to lift the string in the air and dangle it in front of the cat, , her wand was sort of angled toward her, and,instead of the string, she was lifted into the air. She panicked, and fell to the floor, onto her hand, breaking it as it hit the wood. On the way down, she hit her head on the wardrobe, which knocked her out. She woke up in the hospital wing, wondering who had brought her there,

Brooke yawned and sat up. She fluffed up her very dented pillow and leaned back onto it. She hadn't been in the hospital wing for 24 hours and she was already so bored she could scream. Yesterday evening she was walking back to the common room when she had a nasty run in with Peeves. He had managed to unscrew a chandelier that came crashing down onto her dislocating her shoulder and breaking two of her ribs. All of the sudden Madame Pomfrey came rushing over, an unconscious girl floating right behind her. She very carefully layed the girl on the bed beside Brooke and began attending to her at once. Once she had finished with the new arrival she turned to Brooke. "Are you feeling alright Miss. White? Anything I can get for you?" "No Madam Pomfrey. I'm alright." Madame Pomfrey gave her a curt nod and headed off back to her office. Brooke kept an eye on the girl waiting anxiously for her to awake that way she would have someone to talk to. It had been a good many hours before the girl finally awoke and at the time Brooke was flipping through a magazine. "Well, well, well, Sleeping Beauty has awoke. What a surprise," Brooke said, smirking but not looking up from her magazine. "What may I ask caused the incessant slumber? I'm Brooke by the way. Brooke White, Gryffindor first year."  |

Lily awoke in the hospital wing and panicked. "What happened? Where am I?" Her head was killing her, so she crashed back onto her pillow.
Madame Pomfrey came over and gave her a potion for her headache and soon, she was able to answer the girl's questions. "Well," Lily began, " It is rather embarassing. I bought a book that had spells thatI was using to play with mycat. I sort of...levitated myself in the air instead of my cat."
When Brooke finished laughing, Lily said "and my name is Lily Ward. I am also a first year Gryffindor."

"Well, Lily, you certainly don't hear that very often. I don't have a cat. I have an owl here at Hogwarts and I have a dog, but seeing as you can't bring dogs to Hogwarts, I left mine with my godmother."
Brooke squirmed around in her bed trying to get comfortable. She had become extremely restless over her time here at the hospital wing. And Madame Pomfrey was no help either fussing over every little thing.
"I really hate being cooped up like this. It's dreadfully boring. If I had an invisibility cloak, I'd be out of here in a second. But I don't, unfortunately, so I guess I'm just going to have to tough it out. At least I have you to talk to now, though. I take it we're both going to be in here a while so we're going to have to take it upon ourselves to provide entertainment."
Brooke sighed and squirmed once again. This was really getting annoying.
"So, tell me a little about yourself Lily."

Lily sat up a bit. "Well, I live with my father, who is really strict. Growing up, he always seemed scared that I would get attacked or something so I was rarely out of his sight.
He made me take vilin and piano lessons, which I detested. I suppose I more or less detested the fact that he made me practice 2 hours each a day.
I wasn't allowed friends often, so when it comes to socializing, I am kind of shy for a bit. Usually, that is. I guess I'm breaking out of it. What about you?"
Lily wasn't going to share some of the other, more personal things with the new girl, of course, until she got to know her more. Brooke seemed genuinely nice and Lily hoped that their friendship would last beyond the hospital wing.

"Well, I live with my godmother in a flat in Hogsmeade. She is like the total and complete opposite of your dad. She is like so lenient. But anyway, I take dance lessons and I play the piano too. I hate Professor Snape and I love the Weird Sisters and I'm almost always late to everything. I've lived in New York City, Paris, Moscow, Bejing, Rome, Caracas, Toronto, and Cairo because my godmother is an auror and she was doing international work before. My favorite subject is Defense Against the Dark Arts and my least favorite is potions. Transfiguration isn't all bad though and neither is charms."
Brooke yawned and stretched out her muscles, letting her toes escape the heavy blanket that sat upon every bed in the Hospital Wing.
"Um, my favorite muggle subject is math. I used to take horse lessons, but I haven't since we moved to Hogsmeade. Do you have any idea what we could do for fun in here? I've been in here for ages and I'm still drawing a blank."

Laughing aloud, Lily sighed. "Well, I suppose we could play a game or something. Do you like pulling pranks? We could plan pranks for when we get out of here."
Lily had been at Hogwarts for only a short time, but already was feeling the itch to create some kind of trouble.

Brooke couldn't help but crack a grin. Her eyes danced mischeivously as the pranking wheels in her mind started to turn.
"You like to prank too? I love pulling pranks! Do you have anyone in particular you want to prank? If not I'm sure I could think of someone. Or we could just cause mischief in a class for a teacher we don't like. I personally don't like Snape, but we can do one to a teacher you don't care for either. So, who should we plan to get first?"

Lily caught the same mischievious grin. "Yeah...I don't care for Snape much, either. Him first!!"

Brooke, if possible, grinned even wider. "Cool. My friend Jordan once shoved all her books off the table in potions and that got her a detention. We could do something like that. Or we could toss dung bombs into someone's cauldron. Unless you have any better ideas?" |

Lily frowned. "No, not really. Unless we put a spell on a potion so when he picked it up to test it, it would sort of explode in his face." The girls giggled.

Brooke grinned. "Now that is why I'm gonna keep you around. That's brilliant! I love it!"
Brooke could just imagine the look on Snape's face if that happened.
"Alright, now we need something else, too. Something bigger. Something for the whole school to see. Do you have another of those lovely ideas up your sleeve?"

Lily settled back on her pillows. "Well, we could do something in the Great Hall. I have no clue as to what yet." Lily smiled softly and closed her eyes for a minute, waiting on Brooke's reply.

"What about if we shoot off a bunch of Fillibuster's Fireworks . . . or I don't know . . . maybe we could make the fireworks spell out something like about the Slytherins or something?"

Lily opened her eyes again. "That sounds awesome. Hehehe. Ok, let's plan it."

Brooke grinned, "My thoughts exactly."
She bit her lip and everyone who knew her knew that when she did that it meant that she was thinking hard.
"Alright, well, we'll have to do it when everyone is watching, so like at meal time. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can pick. And then we need to think of something to make the fireworks say, something that is totally contradictory to the Slytherin's beliefs and makes them look like complete idiots."

Lily's eyes lit up. "Well, it probably would be best if we did it at breakfast, because then people would be talking about it all day. As for what to say, I suppose I will leave that up to you."

Brooke groaned and pulled her pillow over her head.
"You just had to pick morning didn't you. Now I'm gonna have to get up early!" Brooke whined, putting on a pout.
She sighed, "Ah well, I guess that's just the price you have to pay for a good prank. But as for what it says . . . I'll have to think about it for a bit. You think on it too. Tell me if you come up with anything."

"Okay." Lily sat back against some pillows. "I am a bit tired and my head hurts. I think I am going to sleep for a bit. If you think of anything, just wake me up, ok?"
