Coming out from behind the tapestry was one of the fastest decisions of Louisa Clark's life. She hadn't regretted it, not in the slightest, and would hold on to the memory of Leo Benivieni's face when he'd found her gift. Louisa's capacity for kindness was great, her ability to care even...

Louisa couldn't help wanting to laugh when she saw Leo exit the portrait hole. She hoped he didn't think it was weird that she'd made him a gift. Her mother always said you had to thank people in the best way you knew how. The truth was she'd tired of living in solitude. It didn't suit her, and...

Louisa had spent the better part of the day watching Gryffindors. She'd followed them at a safe distance, observing them disappearing behind a portrait. She wanted to be sure she was going to the right place, and so she'd trailed a group of sixth years after their lunch, and again after dinner...

Louisa listened to Leo speak, blinking tears out of her eyes. This was probably the longest conversation she'd had with someone in Hogwarts, other than the boy by the lake in first year; who she avoided at all costs. "It wasn't their fault, they didn't know what to say." The children who'd left...

When the blonde girl turned to go, Louisa called after her; "Thank you!" She was till perplexed as to what she should do. Leo had given her a present, and he still wanted to be her friend. She hadn't thought he was really serious. She thought she'd managed to scare him off, but she couldn't...

A flower? A rose? What on Earth? Louisa quickly wracked her brains, wondering who on Earth could've sent her a rose. "Yellow means, a friend, right?" Her upturned eyes met the older girl's and Louisa found her eyes watering. "Is it a joke?" She didn't have any friends in this place, not really...

This didn't feel right. She didn't like talking to people about Matthew. The one time she'd told, she'd run away. This was wrong. Louisa felt like her eyes were clouded over somehow. "I don't choose to worry." His words made her feel foolish. Of course she shouldn't worry! How silly she was...

Louisa was tired of this, tired of making an effort to be cruel. It went against her nature to be so horrible to someone who'd done nothing wrong. "I know, you're being nice," she sighed, swinging her feet back around to face the boy. She didn't know how she could explain it to people, that she...

A first year had come calling her name, as Louisa lay in her dorm room reading. She'd become something of a bookworm of late, though the practice didn't grant her a huge amount of joy. It passed the time. With a sigh, the New Zealander rose from her bed to go downstairs. Who would be asking her...

Wow this boy was irritating. Louisa had found, since coming to the castle, that Gryffindors were often the most persistent in trying to engage you in conversation. The only person she'd been honest with about her family life was a fellow Slytherin, and that had been in a moment of weakness. She...

Mate, if she could manage to talk to her xD

His question took Louisa by surprise, and she found herself floundering, with words dropping out of her mouth against her will, "No, she's widowed, not that she was a widow and had me, no my father died, and now she's alone and I don't want her to get depressed the way he was, because then she...

Objection! Monkeys can do whatever they want!

This boy was far too close to Louisa. He wasn't her friend, he didn't even know her. Why was he asking her so many questions? Why was she answering them? His comment brought a frown to her features, and the girl couldn't help wondering why she cared. Blinking rapidly she shook her head, trying...

How could the girl not understand that fire was dangerous? "Fire burns, and smoke suffocates; it's dangerous." With a sign, she continued to explain, "Once, my Dad was working on a fire in an orphanage. Every member of his team died, and a lot of children too. Dad sometimes tried to use magic on...
