Sitting

[Larissa Sedgwick]

Larissa sat watching the beautiful scenery - There was almost no-one else around.
Her blonde-white hair blew in the gentle winds of the late afternoon.
She sat with a book about the dark arts cluched tightly in her hand - She had read it 3 times now and she wasn't going to stop.
There was the noise of someone walking behind in the dense green grass.

 

[Amarante Ming]

Amarante was sitting in the dark dreary room she could now call her dorm room, when she felt the erge to explore her school and home for the next seven years, in hopes that she wouldn't get lost on her first day of classes, though she had very good sense of direction, Tasanee didn't, it was almost amusing to see her look for a building or give directions, though most of the time it was frustrating.

Amarante put on a black sweater that had a cold metal zipper in the middle of it, she had bought this so she could go into a European muggle town once, she detested the place, though she wore her same smile of wax that was becoming natural, being genuine with someone was beginning to get difficult, though she didn't know how to be genuine with someone, she was raised to be a good child, and only speak when spoken to around adults.

Amarante continued walking and soon found herself on the Lakefront sitting by the lake gazing over it while her small legs hung over the edge with her bare feet barely skimming the edge of the water. Amarante looked down into the water and saw her reflection. She looked into her own intoxicating blue eyes curiously but didn't see what Henric could see in her, they were two of a kind and she found something in him, though it was a facade, they were both hiding, perhaps that was all her life was now?

Hiding.

 

[Larissa Sedgwick]

Larissa ran her fingers through her hair.
She looked along the lake edge and saw a girl looking at herself in the water.
Larissa's confidence had been knocked since she'd found out she wasn't a pure blood when her grandmother had always said she was. The grandfather she had loved had been a mere muggle.
But he knew so much.. Larissa felt a sudden burst of anger and turned again to face the girl but this time with a scowl on her face.
Larissa hadn't had friends since her friend at a muggle school.
Samantha had dark brown hair and glittering blue eyes.
They would always play silly little games...
A tear stroked Larissa's cheek. Her hand made to wipe it away.
Samantha had died in a car accident. Larissa had never talked to muggles since if she could help it.
She hated the muggles who had caused the accident. She hated the muggles who wouldn't let the witch by the road through to heal her friend.
Larissa decided not to dwell on this any longer and stood up.
She walked swiftly over to the girl and sat down beside her, looking into the lake.
"You look troubled." She said.

 

[Amarante Ming]

Amarante glanced over at a girl that had just joined her and she gave her a perfect smile of wax and said, "You seem like you are the one that is troubled, I am just curious." Amarante's last word was spoken with a hint of sarcasm, but it was so small that this girl wouldn't have been able to tell. Amarante let her feet graze the top of the water once more as she continued to think about her strong facade, and Henric's in turn.

 

[Larissa Sedgwick]

Larissa stared into the water and abscent mindedly picked the nearby grass.
It was true that she was troubled but telling people wouldn't make it better... Would it?

 

[Amarante Ming]

Amarante shrugged her shoulders and said bluntly, "If you aren't going to contribute to any conversation, I guess I will just leave." Amarante stood up and she gave the girl a smile of wax and bowed her head before turning to leave.
