Lily hurriedly moved a lock of hair out of the way, feeling a bit foolish and frustrated with herself for not being more careful. She probably looked a right idiot, kneeling like that in the middle of the crowd, having made such a mess of herself. She smiled again at Emmeline, silently apologising for being so curt with her. She didn't know her very well, but she generally seemed pretty nice, and Lily didn't want to give her the impression she was prejudiced against Slytherins.
"Exactly," Lily said with a laugh, relieved to find her bag pristine as ever. "Thank you so much," she said. "I always feel like such a dolt when something like this happens in a crowded place." She carefully put her books back into her bag, making doubly sure she closed it properly.
For a moment Lily looked at Emmeline, surprised by her comment, but then she remembered she had her badge pinned to her robes. "Thank you!" she said, beaming with pride. "I hope I'll be able to create some semblance of order at Hogwarts this year." She quirked a smile, realising how unlikely it was she'd succeed.
