Layla stared blankly at the blob, willing it to give some input. "So is Drew just mad at you or what? And what does Ari have to do with it? Or are you not getting along for something entirely different?"
She hated prying, but these were all her friends... or at least people she saw every single day. She didn't want to be completely awkward because she knew nothing.

"I'm not sure about Drew," Lily said. "He likes to give me one word answers. Especially the word okay. It's so frustrating not knowing what's going through his head. Ari has to do with it because she tried to help me after I had a fight with Drew and I just felt like she gave up on me."

That sounded familiar. Layls had seen Drew mad at people before... including herself. But then again one-worded answers were also universal for anyone being upset in general. And recently... she didn't know if Drew had been so close to that murder in Hogsmeade. Layla could only close her eyes and shake her head. She was being selfish and trying to picture everything as a misunderstanding and that everything was alright.
She changed her sitting position and tucked her legs in, hugging her legs and resting her head on her knees. "When's the last time you really talked to him?" she said after a long silence. No matter what happened, she couldn't dwell on those details anymore. They had been really good friends and it'd be terrible if they never spoke again.

"Define really talked to him," Lily said. "If that means had a conversation where I didn't feel like we were fighting or we were only talking because we had to, it was the murder mystery, but that was just trival stuff. Important stuff, well, that would be last year. The school year's almost over now."

How could this gone on for so long? "Well... are you planning on talking to him for real? I mean... you guys were such good friends. I can imagine that this stuff is difficult, but are you just not going to talk to him?"

"It's not me not talking to him," Lily said. "I've tried, trust me, I've tried. Do you think this is easy for me? It's not. I've tried talking to him, but he doesn't want to seem to talk to me. I don't blame him, it doesn't seem like anyone wants to lately."

"Ok, ok" she said calmly. "I'm sorry. I;m sure it's difficult. I shouldn't be making assumptions." At this point, there was Layla could say that would make Lily feel better. She wished there was, but sometimes wishing wasn't enough.
"Well... other than that... how is everything else?"

Lily shrugged. "So-so," she said. "I've made a couple of friends since I got back from Germany - newer students who weren't really here before. I suppose they don't know my history is the only reason they befriend me. I always have to wonder if they knew would they still be my friend."

"Good... that's really good," she told her. "And I'm still your friend, ok? We're still friends." She looked at Lily, waiting for a response. She wanted to make sure she knew she was still her friend. "We both need it," she whispered as an afterthought. She took the twig again and started digging a small hole, making a pile of dirt next to it.

"I suppose," Lily said half-heartedly, not really believing it. Even the friends she had now would desert her soon enough. They all gave up eventually. Every one of them fell away eventually. Layla wouldn't be any different.

Layla stopped her digging and looked at Lily with a small frown. She was being sincere. As far as she could tell, friends would be the only way out of the slump they were both in. Granted, Layla admitted that Lily's was a bit more involved, but that didn't make Layla's life and better. It just gave her a bit more purpose.
"Lily," she said scooting closer to her, "Lily... I mean it. Why wouldn't I be your friend?" She looked at the other Ravenclaw, looking slightly hurt.

Lily shrugged. "Cause I'm not sure it's the cool thing to be anymore." She said. "You'll probably be shunned for talking to me by Drew. I don't know. It's just one of those days Layla." Alright, so Lily always had 'one of those days,' but then again, that was atypical Lily for you.

"No I won't," she told her firmly. "You and Drew may have issues, but that's between you and Drew. That'd be unfair for me if either of you asked me to pick a side... which I never would." She went back to digging the small hole, poking the soft ground with the twig.
"I'm having one of those days too, though. I know what you mean." She stopped again looking at the whole in the ground. That's what the feeling was like. Like she had a hole. "Things just aren't the way I expected them to me," she said meekly.

"At least you had expectations," Lily said quietly. "I've stopped expecting the way things should be. I've stopped expecting everything except for the fact that bad will always happen to me and what seems like no one else." She was quiet. "I just broke up with my boyfriend and that will probably become just another stupid decision in my mental stupid decisions book, which is like every decision I've ever made."

"I wasn't expecting much. I just wanted to come back, do magic like I'm supposed to. Just have everything like it was before," she told her. She was looking at the hole, wondering how to fill it. "But it's not the same and I don't know how to make it the same." She looked up from the hole and saw Lily. "Why did you leave your boyfriend? I'm sure it was for a good reason. You shouldn't question all of your decisions."
