Around the school

[Mark Stone]

Mark walked out of his common room as it was a little crowded in there and he wanted a little peace and quiet after it all. He followed the flights of stairs and when he decided he was far enough away from the crowds he got off the stairs and followed a corridor.

His bag, slung over one shoulder, was not very heavy. He walked over to a very large window that over looked the grounds. A warm breeze hitting his face and made him smile. It was a hot day today and he was in trousers and his school shirt. Mark rested his elbows on the ledge and looked out as the sun shone down on the green grass of the great lawn.

 

[Lexi Rodriguez]

Once or twice Lexi has to walked around the castle or she will gain weight and she doesn't want that to happen, so, she's now walking from the first floor and to the seventh floor and she hated it. Even though Lexi is here for about five years, she still got lost or something or ending up on an abandon hall. At least for now she has a book with her to read while walking, Lexi came nearing the fourth floor and into the hall way. She passed a boy seating on a window sill and noticing that its the boy from the ceremony when she accidentally looked at the Hufflepuff table to mocked them. Lexi stopped walking and walked backwards, she bit her lips because the boy was cute and ... cute. Period. She tried to get near the boy but was afraid that the boy was in a bad mood but it doesn't matter, she doesn't care, Lexi put up her adoring smile and took a deep breath. "Hey." She said softly as she was in front of the boy but she frowned when suddenly Lexi just didn't saw this boy in the ceremony but she already saw him in the village when she and Sarah had the fight. "Hey, Aren't you Mark Stone?" Lexi asked, smiling bigger.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark leant his head against the wall as he took in the sights and sounds. It was when he heard foot steps that he leant forward to look who was making them. Mark wasnt very into talking at the moment. He was better when he was spoken too as then he had no real choice but to talk back but he did like to talk to people most times.

As he was about to lean back against the wall he noticed the girl walk back looking at him. He found it strange yet familiar. He smiled back at her when she smiled at him. "Hello." He said in return to her greeting. Although he was happy to talk he was put off balance slightly when she knew his name. He couldnt remember having met this girl before. "I am, well last time i checked i was not sure if that has changed since my last lesson." He joked with a grin on his face. "Can i have the please of knowing your name as you already know mine." He asked her with a light tone

 

[Lexi Rodriguez]

Lexi smiled, "Oh, sorry. I'm Lexi, you probably know me from Sara." She said to him introducing herself as well. She was a bit angry when he came to stop them fight and didn't even see his cute face, then she frowned noticing he was alone. "Why are you alone?" She asked while getting out of the way and into the side. Lexi looked outside, it was blinding her as the sun shone perfectly at the fourth floor hall way. She guess that Lexi was always spending time inside and doesn't get too much vitamin b anymore, and she's becoming pale too. "Made any friends yet?"

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark frowned as he tried to place her face from anything that had anything to do with his Shilo. Nothing came to him however. He was a little too tired today and his brain wasnt working very well at the moment so he would be a little slow for noiw. Although he played like he knew. "Oh yeah i remember now." He said scratching the back of his neck hoping she would buy it. "Im alone because im not really in a group kind of mood and the common room is a little too crowded and noisey for me. I have a few friends now but im new so i dont have too many. So why are you alone then?" Most of the people that he knew where he past girlfriends but he could exactly go talk to them could he so he had to meet other people. He had been doing a good job so far

 

[Lexi Rodriguez]

She smiled fake as Mark said he remembered here, well, Lexi just remember him from Shilo. "Common rooms are pain in the butt, it can't even stay quieter." Lexi said joking, she didn't even know if it is funny or not. Lexi is sick on staying in the common room anyway and its not her favorite place at the school anymore. "Alone? ... right. I was just going to my mom when I noticed you." She was due to go at the Arithmancy classroom because they where going to talk about her detention last year that almost made her expelled from the school. "How are you and Shilo? ... She mentioned that you two are dating?" Lexi told Mark, she was actually envy at Shilo that she had one, if she could just change her personality to her old one she would but everyone knows her as an evil person and that will not change for them.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark shrugged. Him and Shilo were ok, they had not actually seen each other since the transfer which was strange as they in the same house but he guessed she just wanted her space. "Yeah we are good i guess. So does your mum work here then?" He asked curiously. He didnt know what it was like having a relative work in the school.

(sorry its not very good)

 

[Lexi Rodriguez]

She sense that him and Shilo are not very good indeed, Lexi just let it pass, she's sure that they will work it out though. "Yup, she teaches Arithmancy from third to fourth year. You don't want to meet that woman." She said while she insulted her mother besides she's horrible anyway. Making her grounded at the school, Lexi didn't know what to say anymore as she stared at him like crazy. "God, your so cute." She mumbled and sigh.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark nodded when she spoke about her mum. He made a mental note not to cross paths with her. He didnt like stressy professors, they got right on his nerves. He smiled slightly however at her last comment. "Well um thanks. Your really pretty too." He said looking up to her. He didnt really know what to say now after the comment. He would have thought that he was used to that sort of stuff since most of the girls in his old school liked him but he never really let it go to his head. "Do you want to be a professor when you leave school too then or do you not want to follow in your mum foot steps?" He asked as that was the only thing that he could actually think of to say right now

 

[Lexi Rodriguez]

Lexi bit her lips as Mark heard what she had said, it was embarrassing, she felt her cheeks burned up. "Hope you didn't heard that and thank you." Lexi said and once more cleared her throat, it was actually beginning to be awkward as silence begins between the two of them. Then Mark spoke saying if she wanted to be a Professor, Lexi nodded slightly, "Yes, actually that's my other option beside Ministry." She told him and smiled, she thought about being a Professor if she completed her Newts perfectly and that's what she wanted to do on her last two years here at Hogwarts. She will take that opportunity while she's grounded, seeing as the library is fine with her mother but she doesn't have to go at the village or her mom will kill her.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark smiled when he heard that Lexi wanted to be a professor. He couldnt help but admire her after she had called him cute. He now saw her as a really pretty single girl. The Riley side of him started to kick in but he resisted it. "So what professor do you want to be. If only you could have been my professor, i would be getting the best grades." He said winking at her. "So what subject do you want to specialise in? I mean like if you went into the ministry"He asked curiously as he folded his arms across his chest and rested his head to the side on the wall and looked at her with a boyish grin that the girls seemed to fall for

 

[Lexi Rodriguez]

She smirked at Mark's comment if she would be a teacher by now, she likes the humor of this guy. Well, this is the second time Lexi ever likes a guy besides Andrew, it didn't work out on her first but does it will work this time? of course not, he has a Shilo her mind argue with her. Her mind has a point anyway, "You wish, like I'm going to fall for the cute face." Lexi giggled and shifted her weight on her other foot. She then think what subject does she want to teach if she will be a Professor and her favorite subject was muggle studies, so, that's what subject she wanted to teach. "Muggle Studies because I know everything about muggles ... and I'm a half blood so don't ask." Lexi answered him, being a Slytherin doesn't mean she hated muggles, only dumb people do that and she doesn't cared what blood type you are anyway. "I noticed that your asking me questions. Now, enough about me, I want to know you." Lexi exclaimed and turned to the window and was on her thinking mood. "Okay, my first question is ... why did you transfer here?" She asked momentarily and glance over to him.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark laughed at her comment. He was really liking this girl at the moment. She seemed to have sparkyness in her and that was just what he liked. "Hey im not just a cute face. I have other qualities, some only special people know about." He said with a wink in her direction. Mak liked having a little laugh with people. "You know you didnt need to tell me your blood status. I wouldn't really care even if you were muggle born. To me its just a status." He said with a shrug. It was just something that your heart pumped around your body, it didnt define a person.

Mark smiled slightly when she commented him asking her all the questions. He then thought about how to answer her question. "Well Durmmy never really felt like home and i wanted to be around my cousin and also Shilo was moving here so i thought why not." He shrugged again. The main reason was his cousin. He wanted to be there for her. "Any other questions?" He asked her

 

[Lexi Rodriguez]

Lexi pursed her lips and breath deeply, actually she was already falling for him but as he is Shilo's boyfriend, she wouldn't dare to steal him. "I'm not that against blood status but sometimes I do carried away and use it when I get into fights." Lexi was telling the truth, this was the thing why she got into fights with first years because some are just so mean than her and she won't let that happen. Lexi nodded slightly as Mark told her that he was here for his cousin and Shilo, "Your a great cousin, I never been a great cousin as I have one myself here at Hogwarts." She smiled slightly thinking if Llheione is doing fine, they don't talk very much after their fight at the lake 4 years back. But then again, Llheione is pain in the butt anyway, so, why she would care for her? "No, I don't have any." Lexi shook her head stating she had none to say and smiled again. And she really have none to say as she rocked herself back and fort while standing.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark smiled at her when she said that he was a good cousin. He liked it when people said that, he did try his best for his family but Alexia being the youngest he took extra care of her. He would not let anything happen to her, not on his watch. "Well blood status is just what you make of it. I have heard of a third year who is a half blood and says that she is a pure blood. I dont see the point in lying about it. At the end of the day its just something that is pumped around your body. Im a pure blood but i would never use it against someone and it certainly wouldnt make me think twice about dating someone, even if they were mugle." Mark said with a shrug. He believed that love was blind and it didnt matter what they were, if you loved someone enough then it wouldnt matter. "Ok then well what do you want to talk about if not quizzing me?" He said with a smile on his face as he looked at her with curiosity written all over his face.

 

[Lexi Rodriguez]

"At least I'm not a liar, I'm proud being one but when my parents got divorce. I hate being a half blood." Lexi exclaimed and decided to sat at the floor beside the window. She didn't mind the dirt or anything, she's mean but not mean on things. "Nah ... don't have a topic to start." She actually forgot her appointment to her mom. But she shrugged it off, mom's not going anywhere anyway Lexi thought. Jasmin barely doesn't go out of the school now and was nervous when they go back to England for a visit, Lexi see her dad every school vacation or holidays.

 

[Mark Stone]

Mark slid of from the ledge that he had been sat on and sat on the floor next to Lexi. "There is nothing wrong with your blood status. Its just something that is pumped around you, like everyone else. What status it is, thats just words. Anyone can say they are a pure blood or muggle born i dont get why people are friends with those who are high blood just because they are high blood." MArk said with a sigh and shake of his head. He didnt get some people sometimes.

 

[Lexi Rodriguez]

Mark really is not your typical guy, he is very understanding and looks like not a trouble maker like her. "...Because they want to fit in." Lexi said softly out of mid air, she frowned as to why she just said that. At first, Lexi has to fit in with the Slytherin and to everyone and that's why she gain their respect, "Anyways, why did you like Shilo at first? .. I mean my friend is crazy." Lexi giggled thinking of what Shilo just did at the dungeons, oh how she love when she messed up her dress.
