Drawing the hat

[Izale Brai]

Izale settled herself on a seat in the courtyard. It was quiet enough. There were people passing through, occasionally stopping to chat to others, but mostly it was calm.

Pulling out her notebook, she opened to the back, where her rough sketches were. She pulled her charcoal pencil from where it was tucked by her ear and began a smooth line on the page. A curve, then. And another. A rough line, a squiggle, a little extra pressure here and there. As she drew she hunched over, her face close to the book, concentrating on the grey smudges she was transferring from pencil to paper. After a while she sat up and cocked her head.

"Not quite," she muttered, and started again.

 

[Lucy Kaster]

Lucy Kaster walked along the ground floor. Having been sorted into Gryffindor had been fun. It was a nice house and both Sammy and Tamalia had been sorted into Gryffindor, why she felt as if she knew Professor Kingsley already! She skipped along the corridor, looking in rooms and out the windows to find a place she would be able to explore. She wanted to explore all these new places, she already had decided that she would be exploring the Forbidden Forest, but she wasn't going to do that yet, she needed a friend to be with her, she had yet to find the right one yet. But she was sure she would find the perfect person at some time. She smiled as she walked into the courtyard, until that is, she saw that stupid Slytherin girl from Heta Omega, the one that called her Luce. She frowned. "So you're here are you?" She folded her arms across her chest. Standing at a reasonable distance from the girl. It was cliche for a Gryffindor to hate a Slytherin, she was sure, Tamalia's rival had been a Ravenclaw, as had Samual's, though his girlfriend had also been a Ravenclaw, but she was hating on a Slytherin right now, no matter if it was cliche or not.

Sorry for delay, I got internet privileges revoked for 5 days.

Hearing a familiar voice, Izale straightened up and looked over to the girl who had spoken. The girl from the Heta Omega sign-up debacle. Izale didn't like her tone, or her stance.

"You got a problem with that, Luce?" she said, calmly, emphasising the nickname the girl had been opposed to, and made a show of returning to her drawing, though she certainly couldn't concentrate on it with little miss Gryffindor staring at her like that.

 

[Lucy Kaster]

It's fine hun

Lucy simply raised an eyebrow as the girl looked up at her. She did not remember her name. She had looked at it on the sign up sheet before hand, but she had not cared enough to make the name stick in her head. She didn't know if that was a good or bad thing now, or whether or not she even cared to fix it, but she was not going to ask this girl what her name was, she had no want, particularly, to know. She rolled her eyes at the terrible nickname. She hated Luce with a passion, she didn't much like Lulu either, but she preferred it over Luce. "I don't know, I have yet to decide." She said, craning her neck to try and see what the girl was so intent on. Eventually she gave up, because honestly she just didn't care. She wasn't looking for a friend, nor was she looking for a fight. She was just hanging around in the Courtyard and she had run into this thing.

Izale rolled her eyes. The girl was infuriating.

Za closed her sketch pad and laid it down carefully next to her. She crossed one leg over the other, and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Sitting up straight, she ran her eyes up and down Lucy, then stared her in the eye.

"Well, make up your mind or move along," she said haughtily, "You're stinking up the place." A good 'you stink' comment always made Izale feel better about herself.
