Deepa watched as Sierra made a pathetic attempt at... well, she wasn't sure what her friend was trying to achieve, but it sucked. She also wasn't particularly happy that Sierra had stuck up for Jasper. Sierra was supposed to be her best friend. Where was the loyalty? She smirked at the...

Deepa grinned as Sierra came running up the stairs to help. This was why she loved her friend. Jasper looked and sounded like he was about to wet himself, but the Gyrffindor didn't let go until he kicked her in the shins. "Ow!" she said, pushing him away from her. "That hurt. I wasn't actually...

Deepa rolled her eyes. As if a professor would join in! Sierra couldn't really have thought that. No sooner had she let go of her friend's arm than Sierra made a run for it, though she didn't get very far before she tripped on the stairs. "Sierra!" she said, rushing to the top of the staircase...

"I know you are," Deepa said, sticking her tongue out at Sierra. After a brief hesitation she let go of her friend's arm. "If a professor comes I'm just going to run away," she warned.

This was the mother of all bad ideas. It wouldn't have been so bad if they were sneaking around in the darkness, but Sierra wanted to play on the stairs. Didn't professors patrol the corridors at night? It was only a matter of time before someone caught them. "What? No!" she said, horrified...

Feeling Seren's hand on her shoulder, Deepa stopped to reflect on what she was doing. She didn't really want to be in trouble for fighting in her first week at school, but then this boy was just so obnoxious - he deserved it! Seren had a strange way of attempting to de-escalate the situation...

Deepa shook her head. The shock of the cold water was making it difficult to catch a proper breath, and suddenly all she could think was that she was going to stop breathing altogether and die, and then her parents were going to kill her again for doing something so stupid as swimming in the...

"You don't have any sea minions," Deepa said, thinking fast. "They're nocturnal." She didn't feel confident enough to swim any further into the lake, so she stood where the water was still fairly shallow, shivering.

Deepa smirked as the girl, whose name she suddenly remembered was Seren, stuck up for her. She was fast beginning to forgive Seren for sneaking up on her and causing her a little bit of embarrassment. She was definitely the kind of girl Deepa wanted to be friends with. Her smirk quickly fell...

Deepa had stopped listening to Sierra when she'd starting pushing Jasper - mostly because her concentration was taken up with trying not to get pulled into the lake herself. A split second later she hit the water, shrieking her head off. It was as cold as she'd expected it to be, and for a...

Deepa scowled at Sierra. She'd hoped her friend showing up would make things better, but only Deepa seemed to have noticed how stupid and obnoxious Jasper was. "You're going to get sick, it's freezing," she warned Sierra, before turning to Jasper. Hmm. Actually, that was a good point. Unfolding...

10/10 :o I love it so much!! And it's so nice and clear hehe

Deepa didn't like to say that if there were any sea monsters in the lake, they were more likely to catch Jasper than he was to catch them. She gawped as he lifted the line from the water. "What is that? Is that chocolate?" She didn't have time to find out before they were interrupted by Sierra...

Deepa crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow - a challenging expression. "No, I don't know anything about fishing," she said. "But even I know you can't catch fish with a shoelace on a stick. Do you even have any bait?"

Hearing somebody else in the room, Deepa jumped so hard she nearly tripped over a table leg. Under usual circumstances, she might have revelled in the cheering and attention - even asked the girl to join in - but as it was, she was embarrassed to have been caught and angry that she hadn't heard...
