Moment of thruth

[Alexander Fields]

Alex was once again seated on the edge of the cliff, looking out on all of the valley that lay below the large grounds of Hogwarts New Zealand. He wasn't one to do things where he could die painfully at one wrong move, but he didn't care it was just him enjoying himself. He watched as he could see a few wild mountain boars running around screeching as a pack of wild dogs chased them down. It was funny, seeing as if he was a animagus he would probably go down their and join them. The one thing he loved about pigs was hunting them, nothing else. It was sad that he had to kill them, but it was the way it had to be. Plus they are really good eating, once you get used to the taste of it.

His green eyes peered over his shoulder, to see if anyone was coming, it was like a ritual these days. Every time he went outside the castle walls. He would meet someone new and possible make a new friend of enemy. He scratched the back of his short, white hair. that was short all over except for the exact middle of the back, which he let grow out into a Rats tail. Which was down to his shoulders now and in a long plat, which he had done himself. He stood up and began to turn back, he was about to jump down to the edge, in which he always jumped up. when he tripped and landed face first in a patch of soft grass.

 

[Jade Caja]

Jade was bored after class. She had heard about this place called the cliffs, and hadn't dared to go there. This afternoon was a good time to go exploring. She faced her fears, and walked up the hill. At the top there was someone else standing there to. It wasn't like he was going to jump off either. As he turned round, she was able to make out that he was an older student. She walked all the way up to see what he was doing, just out of pure curiosity. Funnily enough he tripped up just as she was 4 metres away. Peering down she said, "Hey, are you ok there?"

 

[Alexander Fields]

Alex shocked that someone else had seen him fall, quickly bounced up onto his feet, wiping his face down, to remove all the bits of grass that where still their. " Yeah, I'm ok." He said with a smile, he felt like such a klutz, it had been so long since he last tripped over, but I suppose it was a everyday thing." Im Alexander Fields, but you can just call me Alex." He said as he extended out his right hand to the girl, who he knew would take it, seeing as she seemed like a nice girl already.

 

[Jade Caja]

The boy looked a bit embarrassed to be falling over in front of her, but she didn't mind at all. No need to be embarrassed with Jade around, she was just so casual. She took his hand when he introduced herself. "Jade Caja, but I kinda wish it wasn't." Her smile couldn't seem to go away. He was older afterall, and no-one hardly took notice of her, so it was a nice difference. "What brings you to this neck of the woods then? These cliffs make me nervous!" After a bit she felt more relaxed, and sat down, her feet dangling over the edge.

 

[Alexander Fields]

The girl introduced herself as Jade Caja, it was a very pretty name but her comment after she introduced herself was a little weird. " Why do you wish it wasn't, theirs nothing wrong with it it is a pretty name." He said with a smile as he sat down with her and dangled his feet over the edge as well. " Well your looking at what brings me here, I love it here it is so peaceful, the view here is beautiful." He said smiling as the girl. " It's a Pleasure to meet you." The ground below looked so far, but yet so close, he could see the pigs still running around down there, if only spike was here so they could go hunting.

 

[Jade Caja]

Jade thought for a moment and considered her name. It was kind of short but it wasn't as bad as some names. Thanks, I guess its alright. But I would like it to be a bit more normal." There she went again, complaining about how abnormal she was. One day she might get used to it. She turned her attention to look at the forest, it seemed so dark and foreboding. It was good to be up so high, she could see really far into the distance, as if she were a bird. She turned around to check that Alex was there.

 

[Alexander Fields]

" Well I think it suits you, It is a really good name." Alex said still smiling at the girl. He began to wonder what house she was in seeing as he had never seen her in his dorm before. " So what house are you in? I can tell your not a Slytherin, your to nice." He said jokingly, some of the Slytherins could be very nice people once you got to know them, but usually on first impressions they where annoying and snobby. She was probably a Ravenclaw or something maybe a Griffindor but he doubted it.

 

[Jade Caja]

Jade turned back around to face Alex. "Sure sure."She left that topic behind. She wanted to leave it behind. There must be something more interesting to talk about than her silly name. She laughed, "I'm a Gryffindor, and yourself? By what you say you can't be a Slytherin either!" A wind started to build up, coming into their faces. She was getting a bit chilly, but tried not to show it. New Zealand weather was very changeable after all.

 

[Alexander Fields]

Alex smiled, he liked the Idea that people thought he was to nice to be a Slytherin, which was a good thing. Seeing as he would dread ever to be a Slytherin, he hated the Idea of having, money and power and being a complete snob. " I'm a Hufflepuff." He said proudly, it was true Hufflepuffs did have a tendency to be clumsy so that's probably how he fitted in so well. The weather suddenly took a turn to be cold, he wondered how it would be so cold on a Spring day, it was close to Summer but yet it was still so cold. He took off his jacket that he was wearing to show his, white tank top. " You look cold here you go." He said offering his jacket.

 

[Jade Caja]

The weather had got quite cold, and Jade started shivering. How sweet of Alex to offer his jacket. She hesitated, then took it from his hand which felt so warm, surprisingly and said, "Thanks, you sure you won't need it?" With just a tank top, surely he would catch cold. But he looked like he could probably cope with it. She was starting to consider moving inside. The common room seemed all of a sudden so tempting. However she was still talking to Alex, so she would have to stay here for a bit longer.

 

[Alexander Fields]

" Yeah its all good, I'm still used to the cold of the winter around here, so there isn't really much of a change." He said with a smile. It was a while since he had been this cold, but he wasn't going to let it show, he was brought up in a way where he had to make sure that women where always warm first before himself, it was called being a gentleman and it was something he was proud of. " So do you play Quidditch?" he asked trying t start a conversation to keep his mind of the cold. The gail force winds ripped through his tank top like it was nothing, cooling him to the bone

 

[Jade Caja]

Jade poked her arms in the big arms and wrapped it around her body. She felt much more comfortable now, the temperature of her skin rinse several degrees C. "I don't actually, I've never played before. Yes I know I was supposed to take it in first year, but I managed to skip it!" This was one of the few naughty things that she had been up to when she was younger. Recently she had start to regret that decision, but if she ever felt the urge to start, she could always get Andy to teach her.

 

[Alexander Fields]

" yeah quidditch is the best game ever, it was like a religion in my family." Alex said remembering how they used to go to every quidditch world cup, every time it came around. He wished he had started to play for the school earlier in his schooling he would have made so many friends. " You know you should really try out for the team next year, it is a really great sport." He said smiling as he looked out upon the forest.

 

[Jade Caja]

Tabby laughed and said, "Really? Thats funny because my family does something similar, but with rugby." The numerous times they sat infront on the television every Saturday, from 7 till 9pm, watching rugby games, was insane. "Are you sure? But I've never done it before, maybe I should get some extra coaching before I decide to try out. I don't even know if I like it." It was the truth, how could she do it without training? It could be compared to baking a cake that you don't know the recipe of.

 

[Alexander Fields]

" Well if you ever want something like that I will help you, you could come down to the pitch and I could show you how to play sometime, if your interested." He said offering to Jade, he wanted to be friendly as possible to her, seeing as it was just the way that he was and he couldn't help how he was. " It's a great game and you will catch on so easily, my first time playing I made the team." He said feeling accomplished for doing such a feat, especially since there where so many people that where really good player, which didn't make the team.

 

[Jade Caja]

She wasn't sure if this was a good idea, but why not give it a go. It couldn't hurt that much could it? Jade decided she would try it. "Er ok, are there broomsticks I can borrow? If Alex managed to make the team after only that practice, then why couldn't she? This made her determined to try hard.

 

[Alexander Fields]

" Yeah there is a lot you can borrow, they have a old fire bolt if you want to use it. It's pretty good you just have to make sure no one else gets it." Alex said smiling, he thought it would be good them going to practice how to play quidditch it would help her if she wanted to make the team. " i reckon you would be good as a chaser." he said checking out her phiseque and seeing that she wouldn't suit a beater.

 

[Jade Caja]

"Oh really? We better head down there then. Perhaps at 5?" Jade would take a short break from being outside, get changed into some better clothes, and go and find Alex. She handed the jacket back to him with a smile. "See you later then, I guess!"

 

[Alexander Fields]

" Yeah ok, I'll see you down there. Ill get the broomn for you ok." He said with a smile as he thought it would be good to go see maddiie first before he went to go get all the equipment. " Bye Jade."

 

[Jade Caja]

"Ya, you do that! Okay Bye Alex!" Jade smiled at Alex, and waited while he left. She got too bored sitting there outside by herself, so she went back inside.
