Girls Day

Lily I dug through my trunk, piles of clothes spilling out onto the floor as I did this. My hair continuously fell into my face, causing me to get annoyed and stand straight again. I was trying to decide what I'd wear to Graysmere, as today it was my turn to look Shiyloh, while the boys were going to have a meeting with the teachers about Shiyloh's problem. They were going to hypothesize and maybe figure out a way to change her back. I didn't understand why they didn't get someone else to watch Shiyloh and let me help them today, but I didn't really mind. "What do you think Shiy? Blue top, or Purple top?" I asked the baby girl that was sitting on my bed. She tilted her head like she was thinking, I smiled, old habits die hard I guess. She tried to climb off of my bed, scooting to the edge and dragging her legs off dangerously, my motherly instincts kicked in and I ran forwards to help her off before she fell. She smiled up at me in thanks and I walked back to the two tops that I had dropped on top of my trunk. "So, Blue or Purple?" Shiyloh crawled over to my trunk, climbed over the rim and sat inside the trunk, digging around for a few moments before she dug out a red top. "Red!" She exclaimed. That's all she's been saying, red, though I think that Elliott is hiding something cause everything I try to get her to say something else he get nervous and runs off. But I was about to find out why. I put on the top, some jeans and flats, then I dressed Shiyloh up in a cute dress. This was the only time I am going to be able to do that sort of girly stuff with her, so I was going to make the most of it. Usually Shiyloh hates dresses and ruffles and things like that, but as a baby, she didn't seem to mind as much. When I walked down the stairs to the common room, I saw the Kings sitting on the couch, waiting for me to come down so they could say their goodbyes before heading to the meeting. "Alright Black" I started as I walked up "Spill, what did you get Shiyloh to say?" When Shiyloh heard Elliott's name she looked to him, squealed and made grabby hands. "Shithead!" She cried out, still grabbing for him while waving her arms around. She very suddenly gained the Kings and everyone else's attention. Elliott's eye's widened and I looked at him, as did everyone else, before we all burst out laughing. I suppose I should have been mad at him for teaching her to say something bad. "I can't believe she just called you that!" I laughed "Yeah mate, that's awesome!" Remus wiped the tears from his eye. "So, you're not mad?" Elliott asked. "No, but if you teach her any more swear words, before she can learn Remus' name, I will hang you from the Astronomy tower" I smiled sweetly at him. Feeling a sudden burst of confidence, I leaned down, quickly pecking Elliotts cheek, before practically running out, not before I heard. "Man she has you whipped" From Jasper. "Could say the same about you and Shiy, Jazz" Elliott retorted. Shiyloh smirked at me, obviously not hearing what Elliott said, but she definitely saw what I did. I blushed and looked down at my feet. "Shut up Shiy" I mumbled, despite her not saying anything. But when I looked back at her, she was looking up at me innocently. Damn! I couldn't say no to that. "So, what do you want to get from Candyman?" I knew that she couldn't answer me, but maybe I should get her a jaw breaker, that would help her teething needs. "Come on Shiyloh! We made a deal!" I shouted as I chased the little baby around. For someone who can only crawl, she sure goes fast. Shiyloh and I had agreed that If she got a lolly, I could paint her nails. It was a petty deal but I was all for that. Shiyloh sighed and gave in, she looked up at me and made grabby hands, desperate to be picked up. Crawling must have hurt her knees after a while. I picked her up and set her on the bed. "Hey Shiy?" I started "What if I told you I had a crush on Elliott?" I asked her quietly. “Shithead!” Shiyloh gurgled as she held my hand. I laughed a little bit and grabbed my bag full of nail polishes. "What colour?" I asked her gesturing to my nails bag. She looked in and took out a black and a white. "It sounds insane though! You'd think that the fact that he's Jaspers best friend man and that Jasper's has been asking me out for years until last year, that I wouldn't feel the way I do" I rambled to her. “It feels wrong but I can't help it.” Shiyloh shook her head at my statement smiling toothless at me. That's SO cute! "Okay . . . And . . . Done!" I said Shiyloh looked at her nails and giggled. I suppose she actually enjoyed that! "So, let's pick out a cute dress and go show Remus yeah?" Shiyloh jumped up, grabbed my hand and brought me to my closet. Maybe she was liking this. Those Disney movies from last night must have helped. "Aww!" I squealed as I stepped back from Shiyloh to look at her little outfit. I picked up Shiyloh and ran to the boys dorms, up and down the stairs. Thank god for the fact that there isn't a jinx on the stairs or I would have gone up and down like a rocket. I knocked on the door, hiding the six month old behind me on my back so they wouldn't see. I cradled her against me as she grabbed my shirt. "Come in!" I scoffed "Lazy asses." I paused then quickly said "Don't repeat that" to Shiyloh. I went in a saw Remus trying to explain to Jasper and Elliott the potions assignment while Rhys sat eating chocolate. "Remus? Look at how cute Shiy-Shiy is" I carefully manoeuvred Shiyloh around and held her out at arms length. "OH MY GOD! SHE'S SO CUTE!" I heard Elliott and Jasper shout as they ran forwards, fighting over who got to hug Shiyloh first. During that time I'd walked over to Remus and handed him Shiyloh. "Well aren't you the cutest.” He said, grinning down at her little face as she reached up and grabbed his cheeks. "REMUS! I WANTED TO HOLD HER FIRST! NO! ME! ME!" Oh dear lord save us all. I'm afraid to see what sort of offspring Shiyloh and Jasper have.
