Spring break, oh joy. ((Justin))

[DJMichaels]

Winter was gone now and spring was peaking through the cracks of melting snow. The sun was shining and the birds were chirping with a melodic song that made D.J. happy, yet sad. She dreaded the day she would have to go back home for break. Then again, D.J. hated going to her house when absolutely unnecessary. Though, D.J. knew she had to go home for Lorelai. Without D.J.'s guidance who knew what her mother would do to Lorelai? It's beyond D.J.'s reach unless she's there? What kind of whacked up world would be that way? Oh, yeah, this world.

D.J. thought of this as she made her way through Hogsmeade with her camera in her hand, capturing the imags before her. Photography was D.J.'s hobby, she was forced to sing opera. When Lorelai was born D.J. ran away, she worked at a diner for her foot and board. It was then she took up photography. When she wasn't working in the diner, she was out taking photos and selling them. She had lived that way until her letter came. She then had to return home. That was when things went wrong. Her father had welcomed her home, but her mother had not. None the less, D.J. stayed and went to Hogwarts.

The little squeal of children running around and playing made D.J. return from to the present. She was about to turn the corner when she heard a familiar voice, "D.J!!!" Lorelai ran up to D.J. Her curly red hair pulled back into two pigtails, and those familar green/brown eyes iced over with joy. D.J. smiled and knelt down to hug her sister, feeling happy. But, she knew this meant her mother was here as well. D.J. looked around but, didn't spot anyone, "Buhbay, where's Ma?" She asked the little red head who was travelling through Hogsmeade alone. The little girl smiled, "Ma say I could go lonely." Lorelai answered in a proud voice, D.J. grimaced at her sister's use of bad grammar. She sighed in disgust at her mother, and hled Lorelair's hand, "Let's get some ice cream." When they reached the ice cream parlor D.J. noticed someone from school, "Justin!" She picked up Lorelai and made her way towards him. She then set Lorelai down and smiled, this time sincerely, "My day just go a lot more bet-" She felt a small tug on her sleeve, D.J. looked down. "Oh! Justin this my sister, Lorelai." And as usual, Lorelai curtsied. The disadvantages of growing up proper.

Early in the morning, Justin was stil asleep. Though his friends did'nt find this weird, they did find what he was saying to be weird. " Can I get some fries with that? Do you deliver?" said Justin, sleeptalking as usual. Suddenly he sat up and said " Woah, what happened to the good looking delivery girls, whew, man that was nightmare." He then stretched out his arms and jumped out of bed. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he stretched his legs, then grabbed his clothes and got dressed. Pulling on his blue jeans, he had to hop on one foot, causing him to slip and fall. Landing on the ground, he finished putting on his jeans, stood up and threw on his faviorite Wrangler shirt. He threw on some socks and put on his boots, then grabbed his robes and his wand. Grinning he said " See ya'll later." and with a wave of his hand, he was gone and down the stairs.

As he entered the common room, Justin saw that it was empty, "Well," he thought, " guess everyone else had the same idea as me." Before he crossed the common room to the exit, he walked over to the window and opened it. He looked outside, as soon as he did, he felt the warmth of the sun hit him. Finally it was spring time, his birthday was coming up soon, next week to be in fact. He turned back around, and then he made his way out, into the corridor. He then made his was down the stair cases and in doing so, he came upon the Gryffindor ghost on the way down. Stopping, Justin said " Hey Nick, how's it going?" Nick replied n his usual way and said " Well Justin, if you must now things have been rather quiet. Though maybe that's because Peeves has'nt been doing anything lately. Anyways, I have to go talk to the Fat Friar, see you later Justin." " Bye Nick." Justin replied, then continued on his way. he reached the ground floor and headed out the entrance hall. From there he headed to the carriages and grabbed one and was on his way.

When he reached Hogsmeade, Justin heard the birds inging, the children laughing, and the busy people that were shopping, not to mention some of the students from the school. SUddenly Justin remembered that his brother was coming to visit him today. With much more enthusiasm that before, he jumped out of the carriage as it stopped and headed over to the Thrre Broom Sticks. He bought himself a butterbeer and awaited his brothers arrival. A few minutes later, an owl came by and stopped in front of him. It had a letter addressed to him. Justin said, " Thanks." He opened the letter and read it.

Dear Justin,

I'm sorry I ca'nt make it, but my girlfriend is dragging me to meet her parents. I'll try and be there next time. Sorry again.


Your Truly,
Jay

After he read it, Justin felt a littl;e disappointed, but then again, now he was free to have fun alone. As he finished his drink, Justin decided to keep up his energy and went to get an ice cream. He headed over to the ice cream parlor, where he bought himself a chocholate chip cookie dogh ice cream. As he was walking to his table, he heard a familiar voice and looked up. Smiling he said " Nice to see you to D.J." He heard her say something, but get stopped short by a little girl. As D.J. told him, Justin laughed and said " Nice to meet you Lorelai." he then bowed and said, " Now that we have the formalities over with, do you two want ice creams?"

Lorelai was back to her normal self, "Oh, yes please!! Can I Donna, can I?!" Lorelai was tugging on D.J.'s sleeve, pulling her down, then up, down then up. D.J. couldn't do anything but, laugh. She grabbed the jumping girl's shoulder and held her still, she then looked to Justin. "If you don't mind. I'm fine, but I need to speak to my sister and the only possibility of doing so, is ice cream." D.J. answered as she looked at Lorelai out of the corner of her eye. She saw the 6 year old stick her tongue out at her, D.J. quickly smacked it back in, making the girl giggle. It wasn't a hard smack, only a playful one, she would never hit her younger sister.Her mother had that under control. It was then Lorelai started jumping around singing "I scream for Ice Cream!" And D.J. lowered her head, a small amused smile on her face.

Once Lorelai got her ice cream, D.J. sat her down at a table and looked at her very seriously, "Lor, why are you here alone?" She asked, a raised eyebrow above her green eyes. She looked at Lorelai eating her ice cream, and waited. The little girl finally answered; "Pa moved out. Ma sent me here. Say I was too old to have her come too. Say I could go lonely." And she continued with her ice cream. D.J. put her hand on her sister's head and looked to Justin, unnoticable tears gathering in her eyes, "Sorry. I just had to know. So, what are you doing today? If you have nothing planned, wanna hang out with us. I don't know what we have planned, but it's probably better then doing nothing." D.J. suggested, the tears disappearing as soon as they had come. Her parents were always fighting, she learned to get over it.
