Bopping back and forth to the music, Lily desperately tried to forget her entirely embarrassing completely regrettable interaction with the secret man of her wildest dreams. Ever since breaking up with her dumb (as a bag of literal bricks. How do you not notice magic for a year? Oh that’s right you liked your skateboard more than your girlfriend) muggle boyfriend, she’d felt just entirely ugly. He who must not be named, a nickname for her ex she didn’t dare voice to anyone but her siblings and Niamh, was at least good for boosting her self esteem. Maybe the blood wasn’t helping. Half the people she’d seen tonight had thought she was a zombie anyway. Lily made a promise to herself to stop the next person who bumped into her and luckily she wasn’t waiting a long time. “Hey! Who do you think I am? Do you like get it? The look? Or am I completely off base and do I look stupid? Honest answers only, okay?”
