Brewing a friendship

[Veronica White]

It was just a month left before Veronica would face her NEWTs and these days she spent all her time studying. For instance today, it was a Sunday but she had got up early to study and had passed the whole day packed in the library with books. She had just taken a small lunch break and then had continued with her revision. She was glad and thankful that her boyfriend was agreeing to her study plans and Josh too was studying hard with her in the library.

However everything had a limit and Sunday evening could under no circumstances be spent reading. Veronica was hungry and was looking to find someone who could have a good chat with her. She needed to talk bad and for a change she had decided to have her dinner with someone else apart from her boyfriend. Veronica spotted a familiar face that she had seen in school recently however they had never introduced themselves. "Hey, may I join you?"she asked the girl who was having her dinner.

 

[Liberty Kaelen]

Things had been going a little strange recently, and although Libby was glad she'd moved to Durmstrang, she couldn't help but feel she wanted something she'd missed. A normal life. She sat now in the dinning room, alone as she ate, before a shadow was cast across her plate. Looking up she saw a figure standing beside her, and as she spoke Libby offered her half a grin.
"Naturalmente" she said, as the seat next to her had remained destitute for some time. "E chi ha potuto voi essere?" she asked, looking up at the blonde girl, before realizing she was speaking her first tongue rather than English, something she'd happened to slip into now she'd moved schools. "And who might you be?" she asked again. She had not been at this school long, and wasn't entirely sure if she'd come across this girl or not.

 

[Veronica White]

Veronica's face was crossed by a confused smile as the girl started talking in a tongue that she was not familiar with. At first she thought maybe the new comer did not know English but that doubt was cleared as the girl spoke to her. The question however raised a question in Veronica's head if the girl was confusing her with Larissa. Many people did due to the very close resemblance of their appearance, whether this one was the victim as well or not was yet to be known. "I am Veronica White, Sixth year" she said introducing herself with a smile.

"I hope you didn't have me confused with this other girl Larissa" she said with a chuckle. Maybe this girl didn't even know who Larissa was in the first place. Veronica felt a constant need to make herself different from the other girl since she had made her entrance at this school. "What is your name?" she asked the girl and then served herself with some watermelon juice and one beef sandwich.

 

[Liberty Kaelen]

As soon as the girl spoke her name Libby looked away. She knew Larissa all right. "Well, nice to meet you Veronica" her smile widened slightly as she took a seat. She knew there was a resemblance between the two, but appearances weren't everything, and Libby wasn't going to assume Veronica too would be as Larissa was.
"No no. I am very aware of Larissa. I met her first when i was nine. Then we went to Hogwarts together." she looked back up at the girl whilst taking a sip of her drink, glancing over her food as she inspected what she enjoyed. "It was a shock she moved to Durmstrang the same time i did. Coincidence i suppose" she smiled to Veronica. "My name's Liberty Barnett. Fifth Year" she wouldn't have put her hand out even if they hadn't been sitting at the dinner table. Some habits were there not to be followed.
Libby's eyes studied those of her acquaintance's. "What is the most important thing to you?" she asked directly.

Veronica took a sip of her juice and she was somewhat glad that this girl wouldn't be confusing them. "Were you friends with her?"she asked Liberty judging by the way she said that she had known Larissa since she was nine. For Veronica, Larissa was a good person. She had this commanding or ruling aura in her but if one did not follow that and simply tried to see good in her she could be friendly. Larissa was nothing compared to Sunako Watanuki whom Veronica had managed to help and became friends with. It was not normal for some people to make friends, but normal for Veronica was to bottle everything into friendship except for those whom she choose to hate for her own personal reasons example her mother.

Liberty was a year younger than Veronica but that wouldn't stop their friendship because one of Veronica's best friend Sally even was a fifth year, age didn't matter much. Veronica took a bite of her sandwich when Liberty shot a surprising question at her.The most important thing to Veronica was to help the adoptive Silblings get rid of the curse and illness but she had just met Liberty and she wasn't going to go blabbing about it. Only Zac knew about her family issue and Veronica was still considering whether to tell her current boyfriend Joshua about it. "Important as in what ways?"she asked her wondering what she wanted to know. Veronica had spent fourteen years of her life under a mask and she knew very well how to mask her face when she first met someone. It took a while for her to trust anyone and it was after that she unmasked her face.
