Finally Some Girl Time

Julia walked briskly through Hogsmeade, wearing her Rayban sunglasses and a thin cardigan. It was a beautiful day: high in the seventies, sunny, and not a cloud in the big, blue sky. It was a great day to spend with a girlfriend, to catch up on everything that has happened since graduation, though there wasn't much. Julia was still basically the same person that she was in school. Julia walked through the open door to a local restaurant- the place that she told Sophia to meet her at. She got a table for two and ordered two waters with lemon, not sure what Soph liked. She looked at the menu, not looking for anything specific, or even taking the time to read what was there. Julia was too interested in what was going on around her.

Everybody seemed happy, now that winter was over, children could play outside, students could lay out in the sun to escape their schoolwork, and couples could have romantic dates under the stars. Julia loved the warm weather, there was so much more that you could do in it. You could go to the beach, tan, go shopping at outdoor boutiques, go swimming, or just go for a nice walk with a friend. The only time that Julia was inside in the warm weather, was when it was raining, or when she was sleeping, bathing, or shopping. She got it from her parents, they always wanted to be outside, to "enjoy your life while it lasts" as her father would say. And it was true, how much could one enjoy staying indoors all of the time? Sure it was nice to stay inside sometimes, but all day, everyday? That was a task that Julia could never do.

Taking a sip of iced water, Julia thought of what had happened from the last time she saw Sophia, up until now. Not much happened, but what did was fairly significant: Julia moved into her own house, had a few boyfriends (none serious, but boyfriends nonetheless), thought about having a child, and confessed and expressed her feelings to Scorpius. Julia thought about the last two; Soph would have a heart attack when she told her, especially to the fact that she wanted a child. Julia was becoming depressed, she wanted someone to be with her all of the time, and not Alexis, her new roommate, someone that Jules could care for and love. And a child seemed like the best choice.

Julia wondered if she would tell Sophia that she wanted a baby at all. While she thought, she awaited her friend's arrival, nervous about all the things she had to say.

Sophia walked through the crowded street of Hogsmeade feeling alot better then she had in the last couple of months. After Sophia gotten help on her depression and her eating disorder and staying at St. Mungo's for a week or two and swearing to everyone she wouldn't harm herself again she was back on her feet. Sophia didn't want to believe that she neede help though, but her therapist told her she was having a break down due to depression. After hours of telling him her problems he told her he was surprise she didn't start doing other things like cutting herself or anything. That was when Sophia amitted that she wanted to, but she didn't for she used her hands every day and she didn't want people to know. But that's all in the past, and Sophia is back to her normal self again. Sophia no longer had black eyes that were dull and lifeless now they were back to their normal bright chocolate brown. She was also not wearing black anymore she was wearing a light blue dress with black cheeta spots all over it.

As Sophia seen Julia she smiled at her and took a seat across from her. "Oh my goodness Jules, it been to long!"said Sophia as she gotten up from her seat and hugged her. As she pulled away from her she seen that she hasn't changed that long since she last seen her. "I have so much to tell you Jules, alot has happened lately."said Sophia softly. Sophia couldn't even remember the last time she saw Julia it had to be graduation and that was ages ago. But she was glad to see one of her best friends again after not seeing her for so long.

Sophia knew time and life always gotten in the way now days. Sophia missed Hogwarts cause thier wasn't really any drama other then rumors and homework. But now, in real life their was more drama and their was more chaos at times. Sometimes real life sucked and Sophia hated it at times, she sometimes wished she had the good life like she did at Hogwarts. No worries just having fun and going to classes and doing homework and hanging out with friends in Hogsmeade on weekends. Sophia nevered knew how great she had it at Hogwarts until she left there and now she misses it.

Soph's look

Julia's thoughts were interrupted when she saw a familiar brunette bustling through the crowd at the front of the restaurant. Smiling, Jules stood from her seat and embraced Sophia. "I know! Much too long! There are so many things I have to tell you, too!" She said excitedly. She took her seat and had another sip of her drink. "You look gorgeous, as always" She complimented Sophia. She looked almost the same as she did the last time they saw each other, only she looked more lively now. Her eyes and skin were brighter, her hair looked shinier, she looked happier altogether.

What would you two ladies like? The waiter asked. He was a tall, muscular blonde, maybe in his early twenties. A very handsome man, indeed. "Yes, I'll have a chicken caesar salad, please. And a firewhiskey? Thank you" Julia smiled; a little flirting wouldn't do any harm. Right away, ma'am. And for you? He turned to Sophia to take her order. Once the man left, Julia turned to Sophia. "So, how have things been? It feels like forever since I've seen you last."

As she told her she looked gorgeous as always she smiled. "Aw... thanks Jules, you look as beautiful as always."said Sophia giving her a soft warm smile. "You wouldn't have wanted to see me two weeks ago I looked horrible!"said Sophia softly. Sophia couldn't believe she let herself go that much but she was really depress. Like her therapist said, no one is perfect and losing a love one and not seeing one in awhile could lead to depression. But now, Sophia is now trying to get her life back together but she didn't know what to do about Andrian maybe Julia could help her out about it.


"I'll take the chickne Alfredo plate and a firewhiskey as well please."said Sophia giving the waiter as soft warm smile as he nodded and smiled at them before leaving. "He was cute."said Sophia honestly but she was a taken girl or so she thought. She haven't seen Andrian in ages and she was really starting to worry about him. Sophia was beginning to wonder if he left due to all the pressure as well, she didn't know but she thought about him alot lately. Although Sophia was back to her normal self she was still a confused girl and she didn't know what to do about her lfe now.
