"Unlikely Plans"
Part 10
Oliver, Seth, and Elias stood in front of Liliana's door, all dressed and ready to go, each with a hopeful expression on their face. It was clear that they had all been thinking about Liliana and had decided to ask her to hang out with them this weekend. Liliana opened the door, looking adorable in a cute pastel yellow long sleeve with a soft pink dress over it. The combination made her feel comfortable and confident. "Hey guys, what's up?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with friendliness. Oliver, Seth, and Elias exchanged brief, awkward glances before speaking up. "We were thinking of hanging out this weekend," Oliver said, trying to sound casual. "Maybe grab some butterbeers or take a walk around the grounds." Seth and Elias chimed in, suggesting similar activities, and Liliana listened patiently, her expression apologetic. "I'm actually already busy this weekend," she said, her voice gentle. "I promised Cho and Hermione I'd go to the bookstore in Hogsmeade with them." The three boys exchanged disappointed glances, their faces falling. They had all been hoping to spend time with Liliana, and now it seemed like she was already taken. But as they stood there, an idea began to form in their minds. "Hogsmeade, huh?" Seth said, a sly grin spreading across his face. "That sounds like a great idea. We should totally tag along." Elias nodded enthusiastically, and Oliver raised an eyebrow, a hint of a plan forming in his mind. "Yeah, we could use a trip to Hogsmeade. And we could, uh, keep an eye on you guys, make sure you're okay." Liliana looked at them warily, sensing that something was off. But she couldn't quite put her finger on it. "I don't know, guys. I was really looking forward to just hanging out with Cho and Hermione." But the three boys were undeterred. They began to make plans, casually suggesting that they would meet up with Liliana and her friends in Hogsmeade, "just to make sure they're okay." Liliana began to feel a sense of unease, realizing that she was being stalked by the three boys. As they parted ways, Liliana couldn't shake the feeling that she was in for a wild and unpredictable ride. Little did she know, Oliver, Seth, and Elias were determined to make their presence known, and their intentions were far from pure.
