Open Throwing Frustration Away

[Christina Holmgaard]

Chrissy had not been having the best day so far. Yesterday she went into the Forbidden Forest together with Edward and Stan. But so far they didn't came because a stupid prefect and an professor stopped them. But at least she had seen a centaur with her own eyes. Aspen she was called and she was very friendly. Chrissy hoped she could see her again sometime. Aspen felt it was fine that they were in the forest, only the professors and adults didn't thought it was a good idea. Chrissy just had to learn to protect herself and than she would try again. Ofcourse she didn't want to die, but she just wanted to go in and see for herself. She was not afraid, at least that was what she thought. Though it was nice to not be alone, she would want to go with others if she would go in. But her adventure to the forest had made her lose housepoints and that was not really what she was after. It wasn't like she was a model student or something, she knew that. Chrissy tried in other ways to live up to the expectations of her parents. Especially to her mothers. She was more busy with Evelyn than with her. Sometimes Christina wondered if she would ever be enough. Or that her mother wanted her or Athena to be exactly like Evelyn was. Athena looked more like Evelyn, and Emilia too. She was the odd one out there. The only brown haired woman out her family. And her behavior was different. And now she had proved that herself. Chrissy was frustrated and needed some fresh air, so she went outside and walked until she arrived at the Lakefront.

She walked to the left and to the right a bit like an icebear. And than noticed some tiny rocks on the ground. She threw them hard in the water one after the other. Hogwarts was supposed to be fun. And it was in some way, but she was so trying to be like her other family members and it went already wrong. She had joined Heta Omega even, a club that her cousin once runned and now her other cousin did. It would be strange if she wasn't part of it. Athena was also, and she wanted to belong more than anything. Her father was the only person that kind of saw her as herself and respected that. She liked Quidditch and didn't mind to get dirty. And dressing up nicely was not always that important to the brunette. She took another rock from the ground and tried to throw it as hard as she could.

 

[Nikko Blackwood]

Nikko had been waiting for a letter from his parent’s for a while now, yet everyday nothing came for him. He had decided on going for a walk to distract himself from starting to worry. He was nervous that somehow his letter hadn’t made it back home to his parents and that something awful had happened to the owl while it was out for delivery. Did owls ever lose things? Wouldn’t be surprising. He just hoped it was that, and not because his father didn’t want to send a message with an owl back. Nikko reached the lake and noticed he wasn’t the only one out there. There was a girl he recognized from his house but didn’t remember her name. She was throwing rocks and seemed to be upset about something. “What did the lake ever do to you?” he asked, trying to make a joke, but his earlier bad mood made him sound harsher than he intended. “You’re in gryffindor, yeah?” He added quickly, trying to change the subject. “What’s your name again?” he asked.
