Harri walked up to the North Tower. It was one of her favorite places inside the castle, it was often quite and she found it easy to think and concentrate up here. She walked up the stairs untill she came to her favorite windowsill ledge and sat down on it and looked out of the window at the breath taking view. It was truely amazing here and each and everyday she felt privelledged to be here. So far she had been strong since confiding in Kiera and Ellie she had found it easier to be happier, she had needed her best friend Ellie's shoulder to cry on, her comforting words and she needed to know that Ellie would stick by her no matter what. And she did, Ellie had helped her grieve and was now helping her to be herself again.
She had needed Kiera's listening ear and her soothing words, Kiera felt more like a big sister then a third year in her house what had also helped Harri was Kiera's truthful words, she needed to be told when she was making things worse and feeling sorry for herself.
Now it was time for her to do something for them. She knew it was only a small gift and they probably wouldn't find the drawing anything special but she had little money and thought doing something creative would be nice. She had already drawn Ellies picture and shown it to her and know she focused on Kiera's. She wasn't sure really what to do so decided to make her a small thank you card. She teared a page out of her sketch pad and picked up one of the art pencils her uncle had given her for christmas. She held the pencil above the page for a few minutes being undecisive on whether to do a cartoon or proper drawing. In the end she opted for a proper drawing. She sketched their faces capturing every detail in her mind. She split the page into 3, two small boxes and one big, drawing different images in each of the squares. In the first one she drew herself on the dorm floor a single tear dripping down her face and her body hunched and small and Kiera sitting next to her helping her. She remembered this scene clearly she had just arrived back at Hogwarts and she was already in tears on the floor, Kiera had helped her then and Harri had no doubts that she would help her again. She moved onto the second one, which took her a long time, she sketched a picture of herself and Kiera talking about Gymnastics in the tower both of them smiling, she couldn't help herself and drew a speech bubble with tiny detailed cartoon of Kiera mid flip, It was so small Harri doubted anyone would be able to clearly make out what it was. In the third and final box she drew a larger picture of her and Kiera grinning. Underneath it said 'Thank you!' in neat curly writing. She smiled down at her work pleased with it. She opened it up and inside wrote.
To Kiera,
Thanks for helping me out when I needed it!
You have been a true and I am truely greatful for all of your help!
If you ever need something don't hesitate to ask me!
All my love, and thanks,
Harri.

Harri smiled at her message short but sweet, she placed the card on the windowsill next to her and looked out the window. It was now afternoon! She must have been up here for hours already! But she had no plans of moving jsut yet!
 
Caysi was walking around the North tower, looking at the nature around it. This summer was going to be different, yet fun. Caysi sighed and looked up at the North Tower, hopefully someone was in it. Caysi walked up the steps to it, she saw a girl sitting there drawing. " Hi there!", she said cheerfully.
 
Harri jumped slightly as someone approached "Hey!" she said smiling broadly, she didn't recognise the girl but she guessed she was much older the hereself "I'm Harri!" she said brightly and jumped of the windowsill streatching up to her full 4"7 inches!
 
Caysi smiled " I'm Caysi Finnigan, third year Hufflepuff, how about you?". she asked happily.
 
"Harriet Turner, first year Gryffindor!" she said and laughed at how formal she sounded "It's nice to meet you!" she said and quickly put her card and pencils away, "Just been doing a bit of drawing!" she said indicating to the aray of colouring pencils and art equiptment scattered everywhere.
 
Caysi smiled and laughed " I love to draw!", it was one of her hobbies she did when she was at home. " I can draw anything, what else are some of your hobbies?". she asked happily, Caysi was in a very good mood as always.
 
"Oh wow really same!" Harri said smiling then thinking that that was probably pretty obvious. "Well I love to fly as well!" Harri said, flying and drawing were her favorite past times "How about you?" she asked, she looked at Caysi trying to remember her face "Sorry to ask, but I haven't seen you around this year, is it just my terrible eyesight or have you not been here the whole time?" she asked, it probably was that Harri just hadn't seen her around!
 
Caysi shook her head " Nah, I left months ago, cause my father wanted to take me around the world and stuff, and then my mother came back...now that's a long story!", she laughed a bit. " I love Quidditch, I'm a freak really about it, I love to play certain sports", she said smiling.
 
Harri smiled "I knew I hadn't seen you around!" she said "Wow that must have
been amazing! Travelling the world! Did you enjoy it?" she asked.
"Oh wow same. What kind of sports do you like?" she asked.
 
Caysi nodded " It was soo much fun! There were so many different cultures and cities that I haven't even seen or heard of!". " I love to play; volleyball, tennis..well pretty much anything!", she giggled. " What do you like to play?".
 
"Wow it sounds amazing!" Harri said "Well I love tennis, rounders football you name it I love it! Though running's not my favorite!" she added, sometimes she like a good jog but others it was too much. "You should join the muggle sports club. It's run by Kiera Kingsly , do you know her?" Harri asked.
 
Caysi laughed " I'm not a fan of running either". " Kiera's my best friend here, well I have loads of best friends here, but I've known her for quite a while".
 
"Oh wow really!" Harri said smiling ."Yeah running sucks!" she said blowing upwards sending her fringe fluttering around her forehead "So Caysi where you from?" Harri asked.
 
Caysi giggled and smiled " I'm from Dublin , Ireland...that's why I have such a heavy accent." She giggled. " Where are you from?".
 
Kiera had been wandering around bored out of her mind. She was unable to find any of her friends. Where is everyone hiding? she wondered outloud. She was at the bottom of the tower stairs when she heard talking and laughing. Kiera smiled. She bounded up the stairs to find Caysi and Harriet sitting on the floor. "Hiya!" she said cheerfully. "Whatcha doing?" she asked.
 
Caysi giggled " Just talking, how about you?". She patted the ground and motioned that Kiera come and sit with them.
 
"Oh wow!" Harri said smiling "I'm never any good at guessing accents!" Harri confessed "I'm from London!"Harri said smiling "And I don't think I have an accent!" She said giggling. Then as Kiera approached Harri turned her head around "Hey Kiera!" She said cheerfully and smiling a real smile and this time it did reach her eyes! She pushed the card further into her satchel, she wasn't sure whether she wanted to give it to Kiera just yet, she needed to finish it off first.
 
Kiera sat down in between Cays and Harri. She was grinning. Kiera had noticed Harriet was finally smiling again and this time it was real smiles. She had heard what they were saying about accents. She laughed. "I think yall both have accents. Then again I know I do too." she said laughing again.
 
Harri laughed "It's weird how you can never tell that you, yourself have and accent!" Harri said and laughed.
 
Harri laughed "Where did you live before California?" Harri asked, She really was useless with accents!
 
Kiera grinned. "I lived in Georgia. The heart of the south. Thats why this one here.." she said nudging Caysi playfully. "has called me Peachy since our first week at Hogwarts. Apparently Im a Georgia Peach." she said rolling her eyes.
 
Harri smiled "Where do you prefer it?" she asked, Harri smiled "Whos Georgia Peach?" she asked thinking this was probably a stupid question.
 
Kiera grinned. "I like them both. I just like the warm." she explained. "Georgia is the Peach state. Its sort of a slang term in the south I guess. Its used to refer to girls sometimes, or at least it was years and years ago. Cays just calls me Peachy for fun right?" she said laughing.
 
Harri laughed "I like that name!" she said "It suits you!" she said playfully. "Peach Kingsley!" she said laughing.
