a book, a sketch and some friends

[Tara Sitara]

Tara wandered her way out of the common room, and to the student lounge on the other side of the castle, she wanted to watch the landscape, her first choice was to go to the north tower, but the towers were home to bad memories for her so she didn't want to go up there. she sat near the window, and took out a book, she had been reading quite a lot this year, as indulging on someone else's life made it a little easier to forget her own problems. today she had settled on an american muggle book called the sisterhood of the travelling pants. she lied it as it told the stories of four girls who were so very different but still best friends, she liked the one called Lina best. the artist, trying to cope with her greek families expectations, maybe her own culture was not the only one that had expectations on marriage and love.
after a while she started to get a little board of just reading so se reached into her bag, and withdrew a pencil and her sketch book that she kept with her everywhere. she started sketching, it started off as a quick line sketch, but it started to pad its self out. the lines became people under her touch, the first person was herself, this was the only person that remained lines, around her developed other people, her friends, all of them, when she had finished one person she had thought of two more. everyone was smiling, even stefan who rarely smiled in real life, that was an advantage of drawing, you can make people smile, put people together who would not usually stand near each other.

 

[Andrea Kelize]

Andrea was wandering around Hogwarts while she was writing on her diary. She bought this on a garage sale in their neighborhood. She had promised her best friend, Becky, that she would keep notes on her diary so that they could share all of their experience with each other, while Becky was doing the same thing. After a few minutes of writing, Andrea stopped and looked around. She saw that she had stopped at the Student Lounge so she entered it, hoping to find a something interesting to do. The room was crowded. Very crowded, so she thought she would obviously meet someone nice and have a good conversation to. But she hates talking to people. Especially if she doesn't know them, and if they're mean. So, she looked around once more and found an empty stool. She walked her way towards it while attempting to not hit someone else. She's very skinny so it's not like someone would feel hurt if she had really hit them. When she was about to sit at the stool, she found a girl who was sketching on a pad. She seems to be enjoying herself, and she seemed nice, so Andrea stood up and walked towards the girl's direction. Later on, when she reached the girl, she said "Nice drawing" She said. She doesn't usually compliment others but this girl portrait was just wonderful so she complimented it.
