Closed On a Search for Something

[Conan Burke]

Conan mostly spent his days in Hogwarts at the lakefront. He always did, and today was no surprise that he was spending his day at the lake yet again, It was almost dinner time and Conan was looking around the shore of the lake to hopefully find more shells to add to his collection. He decided he wanted to bring Leah with him on his find. He was searching underneath rocks while Leah was someone else on the shore. He didn't mind what sort of shells they were, he just wanted to add some more to his collection. "Did you find anything yet?" Conan called out to Leah, not looking up from his current search, looking underneath yet another rock to see if there was something there.

 

[Leah Thorne]

Leah hadn't spent nearly as much time outside as she wanted to last year and jumped at the chance when Conan asked her to go look for shells at the lake. She really liked it out there. It was so quiet compared to the rest of the castle and she could almost believe she was somewhere else entirely. It did make her miss her dad though. He had moved into a cottage on the coast and she could hear the waves crashing from her new room. The quiet lapping of the lake could hardly compare but it was enough to tug at her heart. But the cold water kept her grounded as she waded up to her knees, her shoes neatly waiting for her on the shore. For a moment she thought she saw something and reached in to pull it out just as Conan called out to her. She frowned slightly when she realize it was just a rock. "No, not yet." she said. "Just a rock, but it is green though." she announced and held it out in his direction even if he was probably too far to really see it. "How about you?"
