A Little Bit of Calm

[Aurelia Jameson]

Walking along the shoreline of lake, Aurelia dug her hands into her pockets, thinking over the last few days. Hogwarts really was a whole new world and she felt that she needed some air to get her mind round everything. It was still early days, but Aurelia thought that she might actually be happy here. There was the massive library to keep her occupied and she'd met a few nice people already that could potentially turn into friendships. She missed her family though and wondered what they were up to.

Coming to a stop next to several boulders that were scattered about, she perched herself on top of one and stared out over the water. Even though the school was full of people, out here seemed really calm and quiet. She had a feeling that she would be coming out here often.

Pulling out her wand, she twirled it between her fingers. They had yet to have a class where they actually cast a spell, but the Hufflepuff was eargly awaiting it. She didn't think she would feel like a proper witch until that time. Tucking it back into her sleeve, Aurelia wrapped her arms around her legs and rested her chin on her knees. Closing her eyes against the gentle breeze, she sighed in contentment.

 

[Sara-Liz Fizzelle]

Sara-Liz had enjoyed Hogwarts thus far but she felt trapped. She was always inside or doing that same quiz over and over again but luckily she just found some time to go for a swim. Brilliant!.

She had already slipped on her swimwear and was now walking by the shore. She began climbing some rocks to jump in when she noticed her. Another girl was here, Aurelia her head supplied, she had seen her in a few classrooms and they were both 'Puffs. She seemed so mesmerized with the glistening water with a soft zephyr blowing through her hair. Sara-Liz almost didn't want to swim now, if only just not to interrupt the girls peace.

She shuffled her foot to move back down the rocks when she tripped. Like an idiot, she had tripped and face palmed the sand. She rolled over and looked towards her, "Erm, hello?"

 

[Beaubelle Waldgrave]

Beaubelle had the idea of taking a fresh noise outside. A walk would do fine and so that was she gonna do. The white blonde decided to walk to the Lakefront she heard it was beautiful and quiet and those were the things she liked. Perhaps she could read a nice book there so she brought along her bag with different books. Beaubelle enjoyed the classes at Hogwarts but she still missed her parents and siblings much. It was hard to be alone here, and Beaubelle would like to have friends but she didn't dare to do something. She just had no idea of what to say and how to act. So if there was somebody that would talk to her, that could help.

When she arrived at the Lake she saw different boulders and she noticed somebody sitting there. It was a girl but Beaubelle had never seen her again. She saw her playing with her wand just by herself. Beaubelle was nervous of what to do so she just figured to say hello. '' Uhm.. Hi.'' she said softly. Hoping this girl would be kind to her.

 

[Aurelia Jameson]

Aurelia was startled out of her reverie by the sound of someone behind her. Turning, and almost losing her balance on the rock she was sitting on, she saw a girl about her age stood just behind her. She didn't recognise her, but that wasn't too surprising. Classes had barely started and she hadn't had much opportunity to meet anyone beyond her house yet.

She slid down from her perch to be on level footing. "Hello," she replied politely with a smile. She went to hold her hand out to the girl in greeting when a sound to the side made her start and turn around. Sprawled on the ground was a young girl who'd obviously just fallen over.

Stepping over, she bent down to help the girl up. "Are you alright?" she asked in concern.
