Open New Year

[Onyx Derouin]

Onyx was eager for the new school year. Things were going great for him. Sapphire had finally come to live with him, and she had brought along the most adorable little boy he'd ever met. Onyx missed Jordie already and hoped him and uncle James were having a good time without the twins there. He and Jake were friends again, he'd even managed to make the Quidditch team as an alternate beater. He just hoped that meant he and Sapphire had a chance of playing against each other in the future. He grinned as he made his way to the great lawn, stretching as he strode through the grass. It was a beautiful day today. He turned and plopped down on the ground, reveling in the feel of cool grass against his skin. He sighed as he laid there. It was good to be back.

 

[Arinna Desai]

Arinna was at the lawn with a letter she was writing for her brother. It was a new school year and she was settling fine as always. The fourth-year Ravenclaw was just about a low profile though she wanted to try SDA for that year. Leaning against a tree, she sighed as she thought of what else to say. She let her eyes roam the view when they landed on a figure just close by. Upon more observation, she could see that it was Onyx Michaels, a Gryffindor in her year. She set aside her letter and playfully toss a pebble in his direction. Thankfully it missed him and just landed a few inches from his side.

Onyx opened his eyes when he heard something fall near his head. He turned to see Arinna Desai sitting nearby. He propped himself up on his elbows and flashed her a smile. "Hey, Arinna," He blew his hair out of his eyes. "Long time no see. How was your holiday?" He inquired. They had never spoken much, but he had heard she was pretty close with her brother. They had that in common, at least. He adored his sister.
