"Well, I told you the stubbornness is a Thornton trait," Allegra answered with a smirk. "And you might as well ask why you're so stubborn, right?"
"As for the fighting... he seems to do that a lot with his sisters," she answered. "Notice who he DOESN'T have these massive fights with. When THEY get mad at him, he doesn't care and blows them off. With his sisters, he does. He fights back."

"So then," Lily said. "What your saying is he fights with me because I'm like a sister to him? Because he cares about me? Cause that's like reverse physcology Allegra and it doesn't make any sense to me at all. But teach me what you know O wise one, I am ready and willing to learn."

Allegra laughed, tossing a bit of snow over at Lily. "That's exactly what I'm saying. I think he only argues with the girls he really cares about. He does his best to dictate what we should do and when we tell him to shove it, he gets mad. It's annoying as heck, but he only does it because he's trying to look out for us."

"I know," Lily said. "He's always trying to look out for me. I think that might be why we fight so much. Sometimes, I want to throw my arms around him for caring so much about me and other times I just want to smack him and say that I can take care of myself. But most of the time he's right, but I don't usually give him that much credit."

"Yeah, I know," Allegra agreed, focusing on her snowballs. "Just make sure not to let him in on that. We don't want it to go to his head. If that happens, he'll be so much worse to deal with."

"Oh don't worry," Lily said. "I try not to tell him most of the time. It makes me feel slightly stupid. Plus I'm too stubborn to admit he's right most of the time. I would fit right in with your family eh Allegra? Stubborn and loyal and smart. What do you think?" She peered her head around the tree to look at Allegra.

"I think you'd fit in perfectly," Allegra grinned back. "Except for the height thing... we'll have to get you platform shoes or something."

"Hey!" Lily said. "I'm not short, just vertically challenged. But I can learn to make do with stilts. I got a stool I sometimes use when I'm talking to Drew, just because I can. He thinks I should grow more, but I don't think I am going to grow anymore." She huffed. "I hate being short."

"Vertically challenged, remember?" Allegra told her with a smile. "But no, I think you're probably done growing. You might get another inch or two, but that's about it. Girls usually stop growing for good around our age."

"I know," Lily said. "It's not fair. I feel like I'm being punished." Though really, she thought. It is my fault and it always will be. I could have been tall but I'll never know now will I? She sighed inaudabily and pushed some snow around with her foot.

"Punished?" Allegra answered back. "Please. Try dancing with a guy who's just under the average. You do realize that an average height means that half the guys are taller than me and the other half are shorter than me? Just my luck none of the taller half seems to be at Hogwarts."

"Yeah," Lily said. "But at least you can reach the shoulders. I can't even do that sometimes. I couldn't when I wwent to the Halloween ball with Zach. I had to stand on his shoes then. I'd rather have guys who are shorter then me or about the same height, but they don't exsist. I feel gianted a lot when I'm talking to people."

"Okay, so we make a pact," Allegra said seriously. "If I come across any nice, cute, short guys, I'll send them all your way and if you come across any nice, cute tall guys, you send them to me. Deal?" She grinned as if it were really all that easy.

"Well," Lily said. "That's a bit harder. Cause every guy is tall to me, so how am I supposed to know if he's tall enough to fit the 'Allegra Standards'? How am I supposed to measure that? You know, everyone seems the same height to me - part giant that is. I really need to meet like some more first years or something. More short people."

Allegra looked at Lily, looked at a nearby tree and then looked up to the sky as if thinking very carefully. "If you can see the tops of his shoulders, he's probably not tall enough," she answered.
