New Places, New Faces

[Aglila Memnon]

Aglila stood with her suitcase in one hand, her letter in the other and dressed in her finest Beauxbatons uniform. Her hair was down in a cascade of curls over her right shoulder and her curled blue hat was off to the left. She smiled brightly as she entered the gates to the park, excited to embark on a new journey at the newest of Hogwarts locations. She had read a lot about this school and from what her friends in France told her, it was a school that was known for cycling head-personas like crazy. However false that pretension may be or however true, Aglila knew one thing: she was here to start over, meet new people, and exceed in her last two years of school.

Her mind began to wander as her small pointed blue boots clicked on the stone walkway that lead across the grounds. It was a wonderful Summer day and she could think of nothing more than wanting to spend the day outside. Unfortunately, as soon as she got to the Deputy Headmaster's Office, she was to be sorted, shown her room, and unpack in her new dormitories. She sighed heavily, knowing that it was her own idea to come to this school, but upset that she couldn't have done so on a rainy day. But for now she had a little while to kill and what not a better way than to spend it at a park, enjoying the sunshine?

The grounds were full of life... here and there there was a bird singing, a tree with lush green leaves, students playing games or studying around the lawn and a cool breeze to keep you from sweating in the sun. And she was grateful for that, because her uniform sometimes got uncomfortably hot in any sunlight. She decided then that there was no harm in sitting outside for a while to enjoy the sun. She was certain that the Deputy Headmaster had more important things to do anyways... perhaps? She veered off the path and the moment her boots hit the grass she set her suit case down, shoved the letter in a pocket in her skirt and slipped out of her boots and socks. She smiled brightly as her bare feet touched the grass and she placed her socks in her boots and picked them up with left and and her suitcase in the right. She wanted to explore, and spending some time around the towns' park would be the perfect thing to do in such fine weather. And who knew? Maybe she would run into some students...

 

[Tamalia Kaster]

Out of Character:

I decided Tama as she is the same age, a girl, blonde, etc, so many things in common

To say that Tamalia Kaster was happy, would be a gross understatement. She was very very happy, Jack had sent her a letter! It was the dawn of a new era, Jack Kaster had finally sent her a letter, letting her know he was alive, letting her know he was okay, letting Tessa and Lisa know he was okay and safe, letting Samual know he was coming home in a few months, letting Hamish have paper to eat... though that would have happily been skipped, the little tyke manages to get his little hands on the letter and munch right through it, much to the distain of Lisa, who began to worry about ink poisoning, but Hayden fixed that with some crafty magic. That didn't ruin the mood of things though, Lisa had been worried about Jack folloing in Ben's footsteps, leaving without word and never returning... it terrified all of them, they didn't know how Jack would act when out by himself, he wasn't a dependant guy, but without Ben being a positive force by his side, they weren't sure if Jack would handle himself, would he flip? Would he focus and not go bananas? It had crossed Lisa's mind, she had been worried about Jack's mental state of mind, but as far as they all knew, Jack was happy and healthy, both mind and soul.

This was good, Tamalia could stop worrying about Jack now, she didn't have to wonder if he would end up doing something he'd regret anymore, it made her relax, he'd be home soon. Brother Jack would be home, happily home with her sisters and baby brother, he surely wouldn't leave them again without telling, without saying a proper goodbye, without not contacting them for nearly a year. Tamalia thought him to be dead for Merlin's sake! She thought that she had lost her parents and both of her older brothers, in a close period of time, she fell into a dark place for awhile, but right now, she was feeling better, much better. Because once again, Jack was coming home.

The park was beautiful, bright and colourful, kids were running around and laughing, and for once, Tamalia felt like joining them, but she didn't. She was tired and running around was not on her agenda, she was too tired. Something caught her emerald eyes and she focused them on it, a girl, wearing a uniform that was familiar. She smiled, Tessa came to her mind, since that was her old uniform. Beauxbatons. Something that was out of character happened, Tamalia walked up to the girl, tapped her on the shoulder and held out her hand for a greeting action. "Tamalia Kaster, nice to meet you." She said proudly, curiousity filling her eyes, she flipped her blond locks over the shoulders and behind her back, she began to wonder why a Beauxbatons student was in New Zealand, but she shook it off, that wouldn't be a good way to start off a conversation.

 

[Aglila Memnon]

Funny how something as simple as lush green grass against her bare feet could make her so happy. The sun was shinning brightly and the air was filled with happiness omitted by the laughing and talking children and students around her. Lila smiled bright as she walked along, and she started to hum, looking up to the sky. The sun was there and that was her reminder that her father was always there. Her lips fell to a more serious position and she sighed. She knew that it had been over a year since her father had died, but that didn't mean she missed him any less. He was probably... no he was the most important thing in her life, besides her studies, but he was gone. It was ironic to her that one day you're here and the next you're gone.... At least before he had left, she had told him she loved him.

And now he could watch here from the clouds. What a lovely thought. She smiled lightly and started to walk forward, but before she had made it too far towards the tree she was walking to sit under, a hand tapped her on the shoulder and she turned around to see a girl that, from first glance, looked like her twin. She introduced herself in a bubbly manner as Tamalia Kaster, and how it was nice to meet her. Lila laughed lightly, but could hear a little accent in her voice. Perhaps she was from Beauxbatons as well?

She took her hand, "Uh... hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Aglila Memnon, but people call me Lila for short..." She was surprised, for lack of a better term, of how quickly the girl had introduced herself. She usually got the 'I know where you're from!' or 'do you really speak french?' or 'are all the girls there part veela?' before she got a name and a hand shake.
