She hadn't even opened it, just dragged poor Lori away from the table after the delivery, and up to the RoR....At least when the door opened it would be that.
And Sarah was imagining a plush room, filled with pillows and loads of tissues. She had a feeling they would be needed. Pushing open the door, she beckoned Lori inside and flumped down on one of the pillows. "Come on, lets see what she says," Sarah grinned, inspecting the envelope and the pretty Harpies crest on it. Taking it out, she unfolded the parchment and scanned the letter, a tear welling up in her eye again. "I'll read it out," she said, nodding at the 'Puff opposite.
And so she did. Every last, lovely word of it.... SPOILER!!: Teh Letter
My dear dear Sarah,
Believe it or not, this is the sixth attempt at writing this letter...and so far so good. There are no words to describe the joy I felt when I saw the letter you sent me. I miss you guys so, so very much that it breaks my heart not to be with you on our graduating year.
We just finished an eight hour practice day thing, and there's nothing better than to wind down by taking time to write to your friends.
What the flappers!? WHY would they DO such a thing!?? I'm gonna come down there and k
No Quidditch, you say? Huh... I must say I am utttterly dissapointed. Heck, you know me, I shouted at Tate's name on the parchment right here. I think my teammates woke up. Good thing I wasn't there, right? Yeah.
Oh Triwizard Tournament! I think I've heard of that before, like from my dad telling me about that and the annoying history book from school! Whoa, I bet you guys have ALOT to do. Aw, I wish I could see you kicking butt with your Head Girl-ness. I bet you are simply awesome. And who says you are not brave enough?? Tell me, and I'll go kick their butts. Oh, and if it's you, I'll make you change your mind by chocolate :>
So how does it feel being Head Girl? What is it that you do? How many points can you take from someone? HEHE!
I really don't mind long letters. Really. And I wouldn't let anything get in the way of writing to you guys. But thankyou for taking the time to write me one. Do tell the others I miss them dearly, and that we will see eachother soon.
I'm staying in a dorm with the other reserves. I think there's a girl from Beauxbatons - or maybe it was Durmstrang. Some fancy foreign school anyways. It's going pretty well, but I gotta tell ya, the practices here make mine look LAME. After our first practice most of us couldn't even move - you can imagine how it was if we wanted to go to the bathroom! Hehe. Our muscles ached like flappers. But, this experience is more than I could have hoped for.
I love you very much, Sarah - I seriously couldn't wish for a better friend. Your support is... Thankyou.
Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
Lots of love and chocolate frogs,
Miranda
P.S. HAHA! Are you serious!? If he tries anything, just put a finger on his forehead - that'll calm him down. Weird, I know. Or...mention the cruciatus curse.
P.P.S. Take a look under the roof of each of your beds. I left something there for you, Wesley and Lori.
She couldn't help it. By the end she was actually crying. Sarah missed Miranda so much, as did Lori, but usually she kept it inside. To be strong for her friend. The fact it had already been several weeks since they saw each other, though, was getting to her. Reading the P.P.S at the end, Sarah hiccoughed. "She left us something? I didn't know there was something in the bed, did you?" She looked up at Lori through hazy eyes, and grabbed one of the tissues from the box next to her feet. Oh, she wasn't looking forward to this.
She was. Yes.
But she wasn't, also.
It was just so sad, to know that there was a letter from Miranda, who should have been there to be reading something from Torin or someone. So, so sad. It broke Lori's heart to even think about it, anymore.
From the table [where she had been KIDNAPPED! mid toast eating], she had accio'd her teddy bear Mr. Glitter, and carried him with her. Sure, she was seventeen, and a prefect, carrying a teddy bear. But did she care? No. She couldn't care less, because she was a PREFECT. And her best friend was the HEAD GIRL. So like.. HAVE. THAT. LOSERS. Humpf.
One arm tightly wrapped around the bear, and the thumb on her other hand, sitting between her teeth, as she chewed it hastily, Lorelai followed Sarah dwindly towards the Room of Requirement. It was quiet there, which Lori needed. Because she knew as soon as the letter was read, she'd be sobbing. Some mature seventeen year old she was. So. Very. Mature.
Following Sarah in, quickly, Lori plopped herself down onto a pink plush, and slipped her shoes off, pulling her legs close towards her, squishing Mr. Glitter. "R... Read it..." She almost pleaded, but as she was saying it, Sarah had already said she would read it.
...
Eyes. Brimming.
Tears. Spilling.
Sobs. LOUD.
Mr. Glitter = SOAKED. "I miss her... Too much..." Heartbreakingly, she missed her more than her Fashion Brigade, but that was just because of the distance that had became between the three over the last year. They weren't as close, Lori had to admit that much. "A present? C... Can we go get them or... or something? Should we tell Small!Kid... She'd want to know.. We should tell her, it's like our duty or whatever. Miranda would want us to.. B... C.. Later?" She'd prefer she could come back here after, and assess the present. Let herself cry more, then.
Oh. So mature, Lorelai.
