SIGH OF BOREDOM ;;

[LILY LUNA POTTER]

Laughing is something one is destined to do at one point in time or another. It is unavoidable. When you laugh it's said to and seven seconds onto your life. Well in Lily's case she should live until she is well over a hundred for making people laugh is what she does best and in return she too, laughs. Pranking is something that this young Potter loved to do. It was her talent. Besides Quidditch it was the only thing keeping her sane. It was also an addiction. Something she couldn't help but do. Just this morning she had set off a Howling Pop Bomb she had gotten from her Uncle in the prefects bathroom. It helped that Uncle Fred and George owned a Joke shope and Lily could get whatever her little heart desired. Especially disappearing crystals. Those where Lily's favorite. It made the getaway so much easier. As did the map of the castle. When one knew every back passage way through out Hogwarts it render one untouchable, for the most part. Once they figured out who it was the guilty party was pretty much out of luck.

As Lily sat in the back corner of the Common Room she peered up from her notebook. Other students were scuffling about. Going every which way. Some off to the corridors or up the stairs to the dorms. Others just hung around downstairs doing whatever they pleased. Going back to her notebook, Lily reread over what she already had written down which wasn't very much. She was trying to think of some new pranks that she could discus with Fred to see which ones they would be able to do. Of course they could do just about anything but you needed to factor in patience and time. Also equipment. Lily put her pencil to her mouth and started to think. What hadn't they done? Looking back down she started to check off somethings that were on the list. “Done that.” she muttered. Her orbs continued to read on. She shook her head and scratched out a few more. Lily wanted to stay away from the normal 'muggle' pranks such as toilet paper or eggs. It was just so unoriginal. It was over done. Finally she came near the end of the list and the last one seemed to catch her eye. Fire tarts. It was a tart in which if it was put into a liquid it would make the taste unbearably hot. They were a new product that her uncles gave her to test out. They weren't being sold yet because they wanted someone else opinion on them. So why not give them to Lily to test out. She would know what to do with them right? Well, not so much. As she sat there she started to ponder what she could do with these tarts. “Put them in tomorrow nights soup dinner?” she asked herself. Lily shook her head. No she couldn't do that. Although it would be funny the first few times, once every else started to react to it it would just be boring. Although if she put it in a professors drink it might be fun.

All this thinking was beginning to give Lily a headache. She had never thought so much over a stupid prank before. Usually they just popped into her head. Oh no. Was she losing her touch? Suddenly her stomach growled. That was it. She was a tad hungry. Actually she was very hungry. She had skipped lunch just to do this and had forgotten all about eating. What a smart cookie. Lily curled her legs up into the chair she was sitting and looked back around the room. The noise had suddenly risen around her due to the amount of people who had just entered the room.

Sleep was good. For humans, it was necessary to get at least seven hours a night. ChiChi had sat up in her dorm for the past two times, trying to figure out when it was that she had last slept for over two hours in a week. Of course, sleep wasn't necessary for ChiChi. She didn't need it. It was a good way to kill the boredom she sometimes suffered from, but she never really liked sleeping. Even when she was a human, she barely got any sleep. It was rare that she got more than six hours of slep a night, and now that she didn't need it? It was rare that she got that much sleep in a month. Sometimes, ChiChi would just sit in her bed in her dorm, staring up at her ceiling while her dormmates slept. Other times, she would sit at the edge of her bed and stare at each and every one of her dorm mates, wondering why it was that they had cherished their sleep. ChiChi was the one who was going around in the mornings, waking them up for their lessons. Half of the time, she had to flip their matresses in order to get them up. Did the youth of the world really change so much since the late eighteen hundreds?

Obviously so, or ChiChi wouldn't have had such a rough time adapting. Normally, vampires were supposed to be easily changed, easily assimilated to other cultures, but no, ChiChi had to be that one that couldn't adapt well enough. How unfair. To top it all off, the students were talking in almost a foreign language. ChiChi would have to find Damien and ask him about the words they were using later, if he would even speak to her.

ChiChi sat up in her bed. All of her other dormmates were out doing whatever it was that they did nowadays. She stared across the room, suddenly feeling a pain in her stomach. She sighed in despair. Being in a school full of humans who didn't understand her condition was not the most easy thing to deal with. She could not very easily go outside at any time of the day and just come back with the best energy she'd ever had. Of course, she could always just spend the day out in the forest, but then she would miss out on her classes, and she didn't need people getting suspicious. So, she would have to settle for eating these new things called Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. They were rather good, and the helped bury her cravings for a while. The beans weren't around when ChiChi was in school, and she'd been hiding in forests and dark places for so long that she had never had them.

ChiChi grabbed a bag from her nightstand and stood, staying there for a moment and then walked out her door and down the stairs into the common room. There was a girl sitting in the room, but she seemed to be lost in her thoughts, along with a few other people scattered here and there. Being a new exchange student, ChiChi didn't know any of the faces. The fourteen year old took a seat in an armchair not too far from where the girl who was peering down at a notepad was seated. As soon as ChiChi sat down, there was a loud growl coming from the girl next to her. ChiChi looked over at her, then after realizing that it was the girl's stomach, ChiChi warmly offered the bag of beans to her. "You sound like you could use some of these," she said, a shrug coming after that statement. ChiChi took a bean for herself and placed it into her mouth. Mmm, chocolate. Very good.
