Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

Lily took a deep breath before moving on the the third subject out of seven total. But, it is whole weeks worth so if she continues with the pace that she is going she hopes that she won't end up being in the same situation again. She was about to start her papers on Defense Against the Dark Arts, when she was interrupted by a ENORMOUS slam on the table, it was the trio of bullies that all three of them, in unison, slammed very heavy books on the same table that Lily is sitting at. Lily jolted her head up and looked in their direction, she didn't say a word, just quickly glared at them, and got back to her studies. For this subject she had to give a summary of the charm Verdimillious Tria incantation, "Brilliant! I know quite a bit of this charm already." she thought to herself.

Verdimillious Tria was the incantation of a charm that emited green sparks from the end of the wand. It was the most powerful version of the Verdimillious Charm. These sparks could be used offensively in duelling to harm an opponent. As it was stronger than either Verdimillious Uno and Verdimillious Duo, the green sparks would go a further distance than its precursors. This incantation is most likely derived from Latin "viridis", meaning "green" and French "mille", meaning "a thousand". The modifier "tria" means "three".

"That's the third subject." Lily said to herself in her thoughts and grabbed the paperwork for the fourth subject, and the last one she was going to work on for today, at least for now, she was going to see how late it was once she finishes this subject. "Okay, this one is—" her thoughts were cut off when she felt someone blow on her ear behind her and she quickly was about to punch whomever it was that was behind her, but she immediately stopped herself once she turned around, for it was Fred who was behind her. "Fred." She said in a grumbling whisper, "You realize that I was super close to punching you on the nose for scaring me, you're lucky that I stopped myself before doing so, otherwise, you more than likely would have a bloody nose or worse brother." She spoke in a threatening and chilling tone in form of a whisper. Fred realizes just how serious she was and gently embraced her and responded back in a whisper so only she could hear him in what he had to say, "I'm dreadfully sorry, but I had been behind you, calling your name for a few minutes now, but you couldn't hear me, that's how focused you've been, Lily. You have been here this whole time that you failed to realize that it's now time for dinner." Then let's her go and sat next to her, Lily looked out the window and whispered, "Has time really flown that fast? My goodness, how time flies when one is enjoying themselves or is drowning in work." Fred softly chuckles and helps Lily gather her things as they make their way to the courtyard to get some fresh air. "Here Lily, mum made this for you, George and I told her that you decided to stay at the school to get your studies done during this weekend, so, she made you a lovely lunch spread. She really hopes that you like it," Fred said as he handed Lily the lunch sack, Lily opened it up, it was a tiny box, that looked like it had been wrapped up in a tiny cloth, but, that was the spell, because Lily was able to lay down the cloth that is now a picnic blanket and all sorts of delicious foods are now spread across it. "Goodness! She really has out done herself!" Lily exclaimed as she sat upon the blanket and started filling her paper plate with the many food choices that she has been given. Once she was finished, there was absolutely nothing left but empty containers, they were perfect portions for a single serving. Lily used a cleaning spell that made her paper plate disappear, then used the packing spell that Mrs. Weasley used, and now everything was tidied up. She handed the item that it looked before back to Fred. "Please thank your mom for the meal for me and that I would love to make something for her in return to show my gratitude. Fred nodded as he put the "box" away, before asking, "So, how far have you gotten so far?" Lily gleamed and replied, "I have finished three out of seven subjects I was just about to work on the fourth and then be done for today and then finish the other three tomorrow." Fred smiled brightly at hearing her saying that where she isn't pushing herself too hard again. Lily then continued, "But, I think I'm going to take a bit of a longer break since I have been working on them since I have gotten out of the hospital wing earlier this mid-afternoon and I really don't want to over do it." Fred nodded acknowledging Lily's words and is relieved to hear them coming out of her mouth. "I think that's a very smart decision, Lily. As you said, you just got out of the hospital wing, so no need to go overboard even though you still have much work to do, you still have a full day to finish them." Lily nodded, "I know that Fred and you're absolutely right about that. I think I'm actually at a good stopping point for today, especially since it's getting dark and their won't be very much light left." Lily picked up her things before continuing," Thank you again for giving me the meal and keeping me company, but I'm going to head to the common room and get some rest. I'll see you either tomorrow or Monday, Fred." She said before making her way to the common room. Once she got to the common room, she went to the girls' dormitory, placed everything on the nightstand so she won't knock them over unlike them being on the floor when she awakens in the morning.
