Open Flowers Passing by

[Fleur van Houten]

Fleur had always had a lot of energy, something that didn't seem to decrease as she got older. So while at Hogwarts, she had gotten into the habit of going running in the mornings before class. She wasn't a big fan of getting up early, but when she was outside and moving she had to admit it was worth it. Now that Lars was at Hogwarts too, she had considered asking him to join. But she knew he wouldn't really want to, even if he may say yes to be polite. She would just have to catch him at breakfast later to ask him how his first night at Hogwarts had been. It was a little sad that he wasn't in the same house as her, but Fleur knew that Ravenclaw fit him a lot better. She was proud of her little brother, and she would be sure to tell him that.

Normally, Fleur stayed on the lawn for her run. But this morning she made her way into the gardens and wondered why she hadn't done this before. It was very quiet here now, and very beautiful and peaceful. As she ran, the colorful flowers zoomed by, creating a fun colorful effect. She decided to take a break and stopped, brushing her hair out of her face before taking a seat on a bench. Fleur drank some water and caught her breath for a moment. She would have to return to the castle soon if she didn't want to be late for breakfast.
