Hello Stranger!

[Danielle Warbeck]

Danielle Warbeck, was so happy to finally be back from the infirmary! She has been sick for so long, and it has been tiring. But her best friend Alice Slipped her a note, in class, to meet her here. She brought a basket full of food, and a blanket to sit on, suspects some sort of picnic. Danielle was also excited to get her friendship necklace back, well, the other side of it atleast, ahe gave it to Alice for safe keeping. "I'm Hungry..." Danielle muttered to herself with a smile.

 

[Alice Hills]

Stepping outside her classroom, Alice took a deep breath and smiled to herself. The smile was one of relief, and after the heavy DADA class, there was nothing more exciting that going to meet her best friend. She had met Danielle Warbeck just before she had come to Hogwarts, and even though they were in different houses, they friendship had only increased. Touching the locket around her neck, she ran her finger along the cut edge which made it obvious that it was one of two. Smiling again as she thought of Danielle wearing the other half, she began to make her way down to the kitchens. She had spoken to some elves before the lesson and asked them to create a small basket of food for the two friends to share on a mini picnic. The start of the year had felt empty without her best friend and someone to share the feast with. She had so much to tell Danielle and the excitement filled her steps with an extra bounce. The crumpled note in her pocket asking her to meet on the great lawn with some food felt warm and friendly. Nodding her thanks to the elves, she swiftly manoeuvred between the growing crowds and onto the great lawn. Scanning around, she found her eyes resting upon her friend before wandering over, a lightness about her walk. The basket growing heavy, so walking over, she placed it down next to Danielle.

"Hey Stranger!" She smiled, hovering close, wondering whether a hug would be in order or whether it would be awkward right now. Her friend had been sick, and having worried over it too long, she smiled warmly, letting off her emotions that she had carried around for the last few months. Sitting down next to her friend, she pointed to the basket Danielle had brought with her. "Well we have lodes now!" She commented, her tone light, fluffy and friendly. Opening the lid of the basket, she waited for Danielle to say some stuff before spilling into a long talk that was needed between the two friends. She wanted to catch up on summer, the start of school, how it was going with Ryan, and whether Danielle was feeling better, but there was time for this, and time she had, so waiting patiently would be the best thing. Waiting patiently would help the two girls to pick up where they left off...

Laying on the small blanket, Danielle looked up at the blue sky. It was warm, and sunny. Taking her Guitar she started playing some of a song, called, Light Up The World. She looked up and saw Alice walk out onto the grounds, and she decided to put her guitar to the side, feeling it would be rude. Smiling, she laughed. "Um....do I know you?" She laughed, going along with the joke. She gave her a quick hug, and sat back down. "Its been ages....how have you been?" Danielle asked softly. "Well, I didn't bring much...but now we have more than enough!" Danielle smiled. "Now that my Vanishing Sickness Is all gone, we can finally, being able to see each other again." Danielle said, her tone warm. She took out some bread and started nibbling, little bits, off. "Mmmm."

 

[Alice Hills]

Alice smiled warmly to Danielle as she nodded. "Well im glad that you are feeling better." She smiled, wondering whether if Alice hugged Danielle too hard and could bring back the illness. Feeling out of her depth with a wizarding sickness unlike the muggle ones where she knew quite a lot from her dad's profession, she smiled awkwardly and wondered what else to say. She didn't want to ask about it if Danielle didn't want to talk about it, but if she did want to, then how would Alice know? Deciding that waiting for her friend to start the topic if she wished it to go ahead, she began to babble about school. "Don't worry, you haven't missed much - but i wouldn't know, because i only have Transfiguration with you. But you didn't miss much in that because we have only done the summary lesson and a couple of spells, but if you want i can help you with that but i don't want to seem like im pressuring you if it isn't wanted, so i need you to come to me on this but i do want to help though and i don't want you to think i am not offering when i am and i want you to come and ask if you need to i think i have said enough now." She took a deep breath and stopped, opening and closing her mouth like a goldfish unsure of what to say. Taking another deep breath she paused. "Sorry. I guess im kind of nervous, i haven't seen you in ages and i missed you so much." She muttered, pulling up small blades of grass and shredding it in her fingers. After a moment, she looked up and caught her friends eyes, feeling the small, unstoppable tears rising rapidly. The whole of school had felt empty for the few weeks when Alice hadn't had a best friend around. Blinking them away, she looked down again waiting for Danielle now....

"Yeah in the long run, thats really all that matters!" Danielle smiled, and feeling the sun's heat really made her glad she wore a, Short Dress, under her robes, it probably wasn't school appropriate, and most likely not 12 year old appropriate. Danielle didn't care, as it was hot, and she was tired of the robes, making her sweat. She stripped of the robe, and threw it to the side. "Yeah, a bit extravagant, but....its hot, and this is the best i could do." Danielle laughed. As Alice grew Tense, Danielle got a bit stressed, she didn't expect her meeting with her best friend to go like this, she imagined them to just sit and talk about whatever was going on, in their lives. As Alice stopped her rambling Danielle talked in a calm voice, "Hey, Hey, its alright, I missed you very much, too and I would love transfiguration lessons. Alice you are a great friend, actually, no your not a great friend." Danielle paused. "Your an amazing one. and you shouldn't be nervous. Things will be better with a best friend around." Danielle smiled, and gave a quick hug.
