» One ordinary day, Open to everyone

[Lilly Sands]

Lilly had for once in her life, not tried to run away from her chaperone, for once an older lady who didn’t say anything, as long as Lilly acted like the perfect young lady.

Before they had gone from the house, Lilly has used an incredibly long time to curl her hair, from her usually slightly waved hair to having more and smaller curls. The many curls fell around her bare shoulders in the light spring green dress she was wearing, to compliment her slightly pale skin but also compliment her dark brown hair and brown eyes. She had a simple silver necklace on, with a silver heart hanging down, placed more or less perfect on her collarbone.

At this moment she was walking on the Hogsmeade train station, in a chance to stay away from the family, and being a place where there wouldn’t be too many people around her, but she would still be noticed as the young daughter, who acted like a young lady should act.

In her own thoughts, Lilly was dreaming about a chance to get away from it all, but she knew her mother would find out sooner or later, especially because she had a chaperone with her, and even though Lilly preferred to be alone and away from people who expected her to be in a certain way, then she also knew that she represented the family, and her mother liked to gossip.

She walked around in the train station, deciding that she would give the train station a bit more time, before she would walk towards the high street to spend some time there.

[Corinne Van Helsing]

Corinne was not especially pleased.

Some member of the Order was going to visit for a few weeks because they were working in catching some dangerous vampire. Corinne was sure that Roni could have killed that vampire in a second and that they didn't need that member's help, but she still agreeed to pick him up from the Train Station.

She arrived there and looked around, trying to figure out if he had arrived her or not. He was coming with a train from Moscow, but so far nobody knew if the train had arrived or not. Sighing, Corinne walked to a curly haired girl who didn't seem to be any younger than her. " Excuse me, Miss, has the train from Moscow arrived yet?"

Lilly looked a little suspricously at the other young woman who asked her something about a train. Lilly didn't know anything about the trains, or at least not she wouldn't let anybody know. "I don't think so, unfortunately. I wish I could help you." she said with a smile. as always when she was in the public in her upper-class dresses, she acted like a perfect young lady, waiting for a man to start courting her. inside she was bored, she really wanted to go home and wait for the night to fall, so she could sneak out in one of her maid dresses.

[Corinne Van Helsing]

Great. Well, perhaps the train had not arrived yet. And even if it had, Corinne did not care. She looked behind her, at her chaperon who was running towards her. While trying to find that man she had lost that stupid old woman.

" Well, thanks for your help anyway." Corinne said to the girl and gave her a smile. " Are you looking for someone?"

Lilly looked around, happy that her own chaperone just stood in the background and kept an eye on her, to make sure that nothing happened to her. "Your welcome, and not really. I just needed to get out of the house, and then for some reason I ended up walking down here." she said with a smile. There was almost always something to do or look at when she was on the train station, and she loved getting to know new people.

[Corinne Van Helsing]

This girl was clearly one of those girls who didn't like being Upper Class. Or just claimed to be such girls. Corinne doubted that any of them would ever say no to the money they had. It was fun to have your freedom, but Corinne would rather be in the upper class and be followed by a chaperone than starve to death.

" My name is Corinne Van Helsing." Corinne introduced herself to the brunette. Corinne rather liked the girl so far. She seemed as a woman that wouldn't criticize her for being a Van Helsing.

Lilly smiled at her, she had heard about the van helsings, but she didn't mind them. "Lilly Ruby Sands" she introduced herself, knowing she wasn't really allowed to talk to other people, but she would talk to people anyway. besides she needed to have some friends to talk with once she got married.

[Corinne Van Helsing]

Corinne was sure that she had heard that name before. She didn't really bother learning the names of her classmates unless they were her friends, so Corinne kind of suspected that the two shared at least two or three classes together.

" I am pleased to meet you, Miss Sands." Corinne said with a rather formal voice. They were in public and she didn't want that Ventus woman write another article about her family. Corinne honestly did not care about what others said about her family, but she still cared about its reputation.

" I suppose you went to Hogwarts?" Corinne asked, in order to continue the conversation. The brunette didn't seem to be really talkative, but Corinne preferred to talk about something dull rather than remain in silence.

Lilly had never been good at chit chatting with people. "Gryffindor, finished two years ago, what about you, Miss van Helsing" she said, keeping the formal tone between them, both for her own family, but also for Corinne's. She seemed to prefer the formal tone.

[Corinne Van Helsing]

The way this brunette speaked seemed rather odd to Corinne. Lilly spoke with no accent nor she said something peculiar, she just seemed to be rather bored of speaking. Perhaps she had went to the Train Station so she wouldn't need to speak with someone. The Train Station was not exactly the best place for one to socialize, after all.

" I was a Slytherin during my school years." Corinne replied to the girl, hoping that she was not one of those Gryffindors who strongly believed in the House rivarlies. During her first year there were some students who treated her as if she had done something evil just because she was in Slytherin. That seemed just too stupid for Corinne. Slytherins were not exactly sweet and kind, but that did not make them the villans of the school

Lilly just looked at Corinne, there was something about her, something that made Lilly wish she was here without a chaperone, and in a maid dress. she wished she could speak more freely with her. "I hope you liked it. there were times when I thought I should have been a Slytherin." she said, speaking a little more normal, allowing her slight accent to show

[Corinne Van Helsing]

Corinne was not sure if she suited another house as well. A lot of people said that, but she was not sure if that applied to her. She could be a Ravenclaw, but Slytherin was trully the house that represented her most.

" Well, people change." Corinne commented. " Our personality changes through the years. I am sure that if an adult put the Sorting Hat on the hat would send him to a different house than the one he was originally sorted."

Lilly smiled. There was many things that supported Corinne's thoughts. "I had my doubts even during the first year." she said, she wanted to tell Corinne about her need for problems, but stopped herself, since they were surrounded by chaperones

[Corinne Van Helsing]

" I do not suppose you didn't like the house you were sorted in." Corinne commented and her eyebrows sligthly raised. She had never met someone who didn't like being in a particular house. During her sorting there was a girl who was rather disappointed to be sent in Hufflepuff, but she quickly got over it. It was stupid to complain about the house you were sorted in. Besides, the sorting hat usually took into concideration the preferences of the student who happened to wear it. No true Slytherin would have told that he didn't want to be sent in Slytherin.

Lilly didn't exactly hate being from Gryffindor, but she had sometimes felt that she would have fitted more into Slytherin for example. she couldn't remember the exact times, the thoughts have just been there from time to time, like some part of her own strange humor. "I wouldn't exactly say that I hated being a Gryffindor. I just sometimes felt more like a Slytherin."
