Cloudy Skies-A stroll by the lake

[Sean Eastmen]

Sean had been shown the majority of the school since he had started his new position as Caretaker, and he had been adjusting to the climate of the schcool quite well. His neat and orderly ways suit him well for the type of work that he had been doing over the last couple of weeks. Now he had been told to get familiar with the grounds as well, for if the need arise he would now the lay of the land.

Sean had walked about the massive great lawn and knew every hidden nook and crannie there was now he decided to look around the lake shore. As he drew closer to the beautiful lake he decided to just stand and admire the lake. The weather was cool and the sky was a dark grey, a storm was on it way but Sean was not worried about getting wet. Sean stood in his white work robes which blew in the wind around him. The smell of rain tickled his nose and thunder sounded in the distance. Sean stood firmly where he was as he listen to the stillness of his surroundings.

 

[Sukie Takahiro]

The grey clouds had faired no chance in discouraging Sukie from drifting the eroded mudtrack. He nimbly weaved through the bellowing trees sheltering the beauty of the lake. He had visited only a few times during his stay at the school. He couldn't think of a reason why he would miss out on such a treat. A peaceful little stop was always good to take advantage of. The crowded hallways of the newly populated school had provoked a state of anxiety within him. Sukie couldn't deal with being crushed into confined spaces. If hhe wanted to get close and personal with someone he would do it on his terms.

His feet swept the outline of grass surrounding the lake. A thin layer of dew lingered on his shoes delicately. His hands swayed neatly at his sides as he balanced upon a tree stump. The breeze fluttered gently over his naked shoulders provoking goosebumps. The moments of silence finally allowed Sukie's mind to unjamble.

Sukie began to watch as a man began to walk infront of him. Sukie had never met the man before and he had to be someone new, someone who was going to work for the school since he was here, in Hogwarts. Sukie watched the man from afar, before deciding to introduce himself.

"I'm Sukie Takahiro, and you are?" he asked, flicking his short black hair at the men with his newly manicured pink fingernails.

Sean turned slowly following the voice of the stranger who had broken the silence of his thought to a rather young boy who had appeared behind him. The boy was a rather interesting boy because of the pink finger nail polish he was wearing and overall behavior surprised Sean. The boy introduce himself and then asked who he was, Sean smiled as he now face the young boy and said in a polite friendly voice " I am Sean Eastman and I am the new Caretaker, It is nice to meet Mr. Takahiro, who are you foing?".

Sukie looked at the man. The man did look surprised when Sukie talked to him, he had the same reaction like all the other people Sukie had ever talked to. But surprisingly, Sukie had gain much popularity not just among the girls, but around the boys too. They finally accepted him for who he was. He wasn't the 'pink sissy' anymore, he was now just a normal first year Slytherin who was just, well, girlish.

Sukie looked at the man and smiled. "Nice to meet you Sir." he said out of respect. He smiled at the man before looking down. Realizing that there was a pretty little flower right next to his shoe, Sukie got down by his two knees and plucked it. He then placed it on his hair, behind his ear. "There, all done!" he said, feeling rather glad with himself. Turning to the man, Sukie asked "Would you want one flower too?" he asked politely.

The storm was coming closure and moving dast but Sean was not worried, he was more worried about the student. Yet he did not want to rush him on so he simply smiled at the young man and replied "I would love a flower. What kind of flower is it?"
