Reducio Outfit of the day  |
Every day the temperature got a little warmer. And every day Lithaen became a little happier. Although she struggled day after day to find an appropriate outfit for the fickle weather, she got excited by the sun shining on the cloudy sky. Today, she had opted for a sporty outfit. After all, she had decided to go flying with her best friend Aedion. Well, she was going to tutor him, but she thought he would soon be the best 'broom racer' ever because of her tutoring.
Hopping around the dormitory she gathered everything she needed. A cloak, in case her outfit was too optimistic, a hefty load of sweets and the broom she had borrowed from her older brother. He had been at Hogwarts for six years and already owned two brooms, while she didn't even have one. Therefore, she was happy to borrow his spare broom from time to time. She packed everything in her arms and then hopped out of the dormitory. Out of the door, into the fresh spring sunshine.
Lithaen was still hopping as she walked to the Quidditch training ground. Softly she hummed a song by her favourite artist, Kate Bush. No, there was nothing that could ruin her good mood today! Once she arrived at the Quidditch training pitch, she put down her things. She giggled and looked out at Aedion. A few days ago, they had tried to spend the night in the Astronomy Tower, but they had failed. She only hoped he didn't blame himself. Neither did she! In fact, she even brought a present - a bag of sweets - for him to show that she really didn't mind. Enthusiastically, she hopped from one foot to the other. Hopefully Aedion would come soon!

Now he felt quite stupid, just like he had when he told Lithaen just a few days ago he was too scared to continue their plan of sleeping at the Astronomy Tower. They had planned to stay there during the night, but Aedion wasn't one to break rules and he knew they weren't supposed to be there after dark. So after only a few hours he confessed of him being scared and they left for their dormitories. He hoped Lithaen didn't hate him for it!
Today she would tutor him with flying. The classes they took weren't enough for him and he wanted to get more confident! It would be great to feel good on a broom as if it was a second skin or something. And since he knew Lithaens dad had been a great Quidditch player, and that she wanted to follow in his footsteps, who better to tutor him than her? So he had put on his clothes, took some candy with him just in case and he was off towards the training pitch where they could try and fly a bit.
When he had left the castle and strolled over to the pitch, he soon noticed her red hair. How could he not notice her bubbly personality!? He waved at her from a distance and started walking a bit faster towards her.
"Lithaen!" he exclaimed as he stopped before her. "How good to see you! I - I brought candy!" He lifted his bag and grinned. "Can't fly on an empty stomach now, can we?" The boy looked around at the things she brought. "Do you have a broom!?" he asked her with large eyes. "That's so freaking cool. I've never been on a broom much and... and I just hope you don't hate me for it." A big sigh left his mouth.written by:

Reducio Outfit of the day |
A few months ago Lithaen’s mom said something about puberty. Just because she’d had mood swings. She’d always had mood swings. When she was a little child, she could go from happy to angry in a few seconds. It was just her personality. However, her mother still liked to call it puberty. Lithaen hated that word. It just felt a bit gross to her. She loved her mother, but she could be a bit annoying from time to time.
‘That’s because you’re a teenager now,’ her mother would probably say. ‘You’re supposed to be annoyed by me.’ Lithaen would sigh, though she knew things did change. She was different from a few years ago. She still liked her dolls and her plushies, but she was interested in different things now. She suddenly started to care about how she looked. She even liked to wear dresses instead of jeans.
But even though she had her mood swings and even though she could be mad, she wasn’t really mad at the people she loved. Aedion, for example, couldn’t annoy her very easily.
“Candy!” She screamed in excitement. “Me too! For you!” She gave him the candy she brought. “Of course not! I don’t think that’s even possible.” She grinned and then shook her head.
“No, it’s not mine. It’s my brother’s broom, but we’re allowed to borrow it!” Her eyes got big. “Why on earth would I hate you for that? I could never hate you! You’re my best friend in the whole world, Aeddy! Never, ever could I hate you!” She hugged him spontaneously. “Don’t you ever worry about that, okay? I’m not going to hate you if you’re scared or whatever. You can always say no, to anything, okay? I don’t blame you.” She hugged him once again. “Okay, let’s start. What part of flying scares you the most?”

These past few weeks the boy informed his parents greatly of the forming friendship between him and Lithaen. His parents were quite excited for him and had asked him if they wanted to do something fun during the holiday, but Aedion wasn't sure about it yet. Not because he didn't like her, but he didn't want to force himself upon her too much. It wasn't a long holiday and for all he knew she just wanted to spend time with her family!
As usual the two both had taken a fair amount of candy with them to last them for a good few hours. And today they'd probably need it, as they would be flying. Or at least attempt to do just that.
"Thanks!" he said while taking the candy she brought and picking out something to eat. "I've never been flying on an empty stomach, so my brain probably thinks it's useless to step on a broom before eating something." He chuckled. The candy tasted amazing, as it always did.
"Cool! Is your brother on the Quidditch team?" he wondered aloud. "I haven't seen him yet," he thought. "But his broom looks really cool. I've seen some cool brooms in Diagon Alley when I went shopping, but they're quite... expensive." A loud sigh left his mouth and he looked at her nervously. "Are you sure?" he asked again before thinking she was. "Of course you are! You're amazing!" The hug was something he didn't expect, but he put his arms around her nonetheless. "Thanks! You are too kind. You'll see I can be... insecure sometimes. Stupid puberty!" He shook his fist in the air.
He looked at the broom and thought for a good ten seconds. "Eh, especially setting off into the sky is what scares me the most... And then flying, going fast, doing twists and turns... Ugh! I'm hopeless!"written by:
