The More, The Merrier

[Andrea Kelize]

Andrea's day was going great. She had a nice time in class and she had plenty of pumpkin pies to stuff into her mouth. The afternoon was warm and cozy -just the perfect day to roam around the castle- and find something useful to do. Andrea was walking slowly while humming a tune. She had been practicing some hums over the holidays because of the fact that her close friend, Damien told her that he's going to judge her as she sing as song in front of him. As much as Andrea wanted to sing, she can't since she had a sore throat that day her mother taught her so instead, she went for the humming. As Andrea was humming a song called "Crazy For You" she stopped on her tracks to admire the beautiful view that lies between the forest of New Zealand. Andrea laid a hand on her pocket and looked at the view happily. It reminds her most of her village back home. Her family lives in a small village near a hillside so she is used to staring at beautiful views. The skies were very blue and the clouds were fading, Andrea was sure that this is the best time for kite flying. As Andrea observed the view, she sighed slowly because of the fact that it is going to take a semester for her to be back in Australia again. Andrea shrugged and started walking once more. Andrea looked around to observe what floor she is currently occupying now. She shrugged once more when she found out she was in the Second Floor Corridor. It's not like there's something special on the corridor, Andrea was just having her day.

Andrea walked once more. She hadn't really had any clue on what to do. She had no classes and she also have assignments no more, she had a free time until sunset. The only problem is that she doesn't know what to spend that precious time for. She can't really approach Damien since she's worried he might take this time the best time for her to sing to her and well, her other friends don't work as well, maybe all Andrea needs to do is to find another new friend. The more the merrier, right? Andrea inhaled the cool breeze deeply and started walking over the direction of a bench near the window. Andrea sat down for a minute to figure out what to do and to think of something useful. Later on, she got an idea of doodling to cool things off for a while and she did so. She reached out for her drawing notebook and pencil and started doodling.

Isabella had been having a relativity off day, it was odd for her to ever get upset but she had run into someone in the hall. She knew it was really no one's fault because neither of them had been looking she of course had been polite and apologized but they had made a huge ordeal out of it. Bella being the girl she was hadn't just stood there and taken it but gave quick remarks to match there's. But once people had started to gather she grabbed her things and left not wanting a professor to show up and deduct points. She was still kind of fuming as she walked away, she knew she needed to go somewhere and cool off. Finally seeing a bench she sat down. She was too upset to see the girl next to her and instead kept mumbling about stupid Slytherin's to herself. She couldn't believe the nerve of some people, they just thought they were so much better than you. That was one of the reasons she was glad people didn't know she had been raised by muggles, she may be a half-blood but she had hardly known anything about magic when she came to Hogwarts. Her brothers both muggleborn ironically had shown her a little, but they left Italy before they could really show her anything. But things were different know that she was here, when she had first moved in with her brothers in New Zealand she had been amazed by the house cleaning itself and all the little things her brothers could do with magic. Thinking about all this calmed her down a little, thinking about home and her brothers normally did. She loved her brothers more than anyone else in the world and just the thought of them made her happier. She knew they would have been proud of her for walking away because it truly was the right thing to do.

 

[Andrea Kelize]

Andrea was doodling happily. It's a bit of a shock what pumpkin pies can do to her. Andrea was doodling a girl who was eating an apple. She doesn't really know who the girl was, the thought just jumbled on her head so she just followed her instincts. Andrea doesn't really like doodling. Art has so far became a hobby of hers ever since she realized she can't play neither perform her favorite; basketball, on a calm place. Andrea was about to finish the apple when a girl took a seat on the same bench she was occupying. The girl seemed rather familiar and she was practically fuming as she sat down. Andrea was a bit startled when she sat down. She was really mad that she had't noticed Andrea. Andrea finished the apple when the stranger started saying awful things about Slytherins. Andrea looked at her with confused expression. Who is she talking to?, she thought. Later on, the girl still hadn't quit the awful comments which started disturbing Andrea a little. So, Andrea stood up and took a seat more close to her. After then, she asked the girl "Uh, Excuse me but are you talking to me?", all anxiously. The girl looked very innocent in her pale features and blonde hair. But it seemed to Andrea that the girl was more beyond herself today. Maybe something wrong happened. Andrea wasn't so sure but she was willing to find out.
