Hi... Again

[Vanessa Parker]

Vanessa sighed happily. She walked over to one of the benches in the courtyard. She sat down on one of them, humming one of her favorite songs. She felt a slight breeze and stopped humming. She noticed a girl nearby. And that girl was Hiria. She remembered helping her with homework once. They hadn't met up with a while. Figuring it would probably be weird to interrupt a conversation if she was with a friend. But the girl was alone. Vanessa walked over to her. "Hi, Hiria," she said, smiling. "How have you been?"

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

Hiria was sitting in the courtyard, on one of the stone benches, reading a book. When someone was suddenly near her saying hi, and asking her how she was. Hiria looked up. It was that nice Hufflepuff girl Vanessa, who had helped her with her homework once. Hiria smiled brightly. "Hi Vanessa! I've been good. What about you?" She replied.

 

[Vanessa Parker]

Vanessa took a seat next to Hiria. "Glad to hear it," she said, smiling. "I've been good. Classes, homework, the usual." She noticed the book Hiria had. "what are you reading? If you don't mind me asking, of course." She kept her friendly smile on her face.

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

"Nancy Drew." Hiria replied.

 

[Vanessa Parker]

Vanessa nodded. "I was reading one of the original ones just a little while ago," she said. "My mom read them when she was a kid, and had no use for them so she gave them to me. Of course, I forgot about them until I was just cleaning out my stuff and I FOUND* them. So I started to read them. But I also read the more recent ones a few years ago. I still remember them well, though."


*Sorry, couldn't resist AVPM joke. Ignore that it's in all capital letters.

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

"Who's your favourite Nancy Drew character? I like George, Bess's cousin."
OOC- I'm talking about the modern series of Nancy Drew, in case you were wondering.

 

[Vanessa Parker]

"Well, Nancy's honestly my favorite character," Vanessa said. "I mean, I wish I was more like her. Being able to solve mysteries. The only mystery I ever solved was the mystery of the missing book. Helped someone find it when they lost it. But I'm just a good finder."

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

Hiria gasped in her head. She couldn't believe she'd forgotten to tell Vanessa. "I almost forgot to tell you, Vanessa!" Hiria said suddenly.

 

[Vanessa Parker]

"What did you forget to tell me?" Vanessa asked, wondering what it was. She also hoped that it wasn't important. It wouldn't be very good if Hiria forgot to tell her something important.

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

"Well... it's kind of a long story, but I'll shorten it. It started when me and my friend Lexi were in the third floor corridor, and i felt dizzy and I fainted, so Lexi carried me to the hospital wing, but when the nurse saw me, we guessed it probably wasn't a medical problem. So, I went to see Professor Merrythought- my astronomy teacher." She mentioned quickly since Vanessa wasn't in her year before continuing. "And... " She paused for dramatic effect. "She wasn't completely sure, but she told me that I'm most probably.... a Seer!" She announced excitedly, waiting for her response.

 

[Vanessa Parker]

Vanessa's eyes widened as Hiria told the story. "Wow, that's great!" she said, smiling. "Actually, that's awesome!"

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

"I know!" Hiria said excitedly, then she added. "And I'm Muggle-Born too! I also never thought I had any special talents or abilities, except when I found out I was a witch."

 

[Vanessa Parker]

Vanessa nodded. "Same here," she said. She remembered when she was 11, going off to Hogwarts, and being so excited. The rest of her family wasn't magical at all, most of them were muggle doctors or surgeons. But she was the only witch. "Except I'm not a Seer that I know of."

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

"Well, do you take Divination?" asked Hiria.

 

[Vanessa Parker]

Vanessa nodded. "I'm not very good at it, though," she said. "The only part I'm really good at is like, answering questions about Divination and its history."

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

"Well you never know unless you ask. You could try talking to your Divination Professor. You never know, you might be a Seer too!" Hiria said.
OOC- you could send in an application for your character to become a seer.

 

[Vanessa Parker]

((I actually plan on having her being a Seer but she won't know until she talks to someone about it... And until I get the application filled out. It might not be accepted, but I hope it will be.))

Vanessa nodded. "Maybe," she said, although she doubted it. "If I was one, that would be awesome." She decided not to get her hopes up. After all, she most likely wasn't.

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

"It would be!" Hiria agreed. "I mean, being a Seer is cool, but being a Seer with a friend who's one is even better!" she added.

 

[Vanessa Parker]

Vanessa nodded. "You're right on that," she said. She didn't want Hiria to know that she doubted she would be a Seer. Because she didn't want to disappoint her or anything. Everyone needed to stay cheerful.

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

"Tell you what, I'll test you!" Hiria said. "I just KNOW you'll be a Seer. I just KNOW it! Ok. Tell me what I'm thinking." said Hiria.

 

[Vanessa Parker]

Vanessa closed her eyes in thought. "Uh, you're thinking it would be cool if I were a Seer?" she asked. She doubted she would get anything right, and if she did it would be a coincidence.

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

"Partly, yes." Hiria agreed. "But.... This was a fake test! I'm not sure if Seers can read minds, but they see into the future. And apparently, when you have your first 'vision', it's supposed to be blurry, like mine was. Can you 'see anything'? " Hiria said, then asked.

 

[Vanessa Parker]

Vanessa closed her eyes again. She saw something... It looked like two people. She opened her eyes. It was probably just a coincidence. She wanted herself to be a Seer, that was all. "No," she lied. "Well, I might have, but I can't be sure."

 

[Hiria HallButcher]

"What did you see? if you didn't see much, try again." Hiria said encouragingly.

 

[Vanessa Parker]

Vanessa closed her eyes another time. The two people were... it looked like some kind of fight. One was a boy and one was a girl, but it was still blurry. She opened her eyes. "I saw two people fighting about something," she said.
