Since Taylor seemed kinda out of it, Lily decided that she would seek out her friend a bit later...
perhaps when they were both feeling better.

The older Ravenclaw's face faltered to a very concerned expression, she had never seen Lily in this state before and she was not going to just sit here and watch the little kid be all sad on her first day at school! So she listened carefully, leaned down a bit even because Lily mumbled about a hundred words so quickly and so suddenly.
"Aw, don't worry yourself, Lily." Louisa's arm snaked around her friend's shoulders and she pulled her to her side in a one armed hug, "Someone bandaged your wrist, right? Just make sure not to move it for a while, promise me." And Louisa cursed herself for not being the one to bandage it for her, but the number of injuries were just too much that she lost track of who she'd seen and taken care of and who she'd missed. Not that she was looking for the injured ones, but she did help those that she came across...
ANYWAYS, the girl was crying because of a stinking broom! Louisa swallowed the witty denying remark she wanted to make and wiped Lily's cheeks, looking a bit sternly at her, "Don't cry, buddy. I'll take care of that, and yes you are going to play Quidditch just like you did last term. Otherwise, I won't be attending any games!" She released the girl and used her robe's sleeve to dry her face again, "Everything's going to be okay, I can... fix this. Just trust me." THEEEEEERE. Louisa has to find a way to either buy a new broom for her younger friend, or maybe fix the said broom... but she wasn't going to say anything to Lily. This was to be a surprise for later! EEP!
-------- After A While --------
Huffing and stomping her feet on the floor, Louisa went back to her table and almost flopped right back next to Max when she noticed that the feast was practically over now. She took a few deep breathes to calm herself and push the blush away and went to stand at the foot of the long table. She started, "Okay guy-" she halted... how on earth were they going to hear her? Where was Spike? He had the deep voice.
Anyways, she jumped on the bench and started again, "ALL FIRST YEARS AND NEW TRANSFERS PLEASE FORM A LINE AND FOLLOW ME. WE'RE HEADING TO THE COMMON ROOM." She hopped down the bench and waited for students to follow her instructions, and for Spike to stop stuffing his face with food, hehe, and start leading the kids with her outside the Great Hall.
Lily knew that there was something about Louisa that caused her to feel safe telling about everything, good or bad, but she had never really understood what it was. Until now... The thing was that her older Ravenclaw friend always listened... to anyone that needed to talk about almost anything. Like getting hurt while on the train...
As her older friend asked whether her wrist had been bandaged or not, the third year shook her head no. Once they had reached the platform, Lily wasn't really paying attention to her hurt wrist but instead was more focused on the fact that her broom was in splinters. So she hadn't bothered to get it bandaged. But she did know that she wouldn't be moving it or using it until it felt better. So she gave a little
"I promise..." so that Louisa wouldn't worry herself.
Good old Louisa... she knew how to make everything better. Lily's eyes glimmered a bit with hope once her friend said that she would fix the problem. Giving her older friend a small grin, the redhead stopped holding her right wrist long enough to give a big hug to the head girl. A muffled little
"Thank you Louisa!" managed to sneak out before the third year went back to holding her injured wrist and attempting to eat something before the feast was over.
As soon as the feast was done and the first years and transfers were getting ready to follow the prefects to the common rooms, Lily carefully got up and headed out of the great hall, grinning at her head girl, before starting the climb up the stairs to get to the common room.
