Andrea Kallos was perched on one of the thick branches that sprawled out from the great big oak tree beside the lake. Her legs swung freely at each side creating a slight breeze within the hot bubble that had Hogwarts trapped for the past three months. She hated the hot temperatures of the summers and having lived in New Zealand all of her life one would think that she would be so accustomed to it that she wouldn't want anything different. But Andie was one of those people who hated the blistering heat and whose pale skin burned uncontrollably from the sun. So being up in a tree on a day like today suited the thirteen year old perfectly. In fact it came as a surrpise to her that the spot hadn't already been taken, but then again, the lake itself seemed like the place to be on sweltering days like this afternoon. Andrea had never actually been in the lake before, she walked its edge once before, but she never actually went swimming in it. It was something that she never really wanted to do especially with so many students around. So for now, sitting up in her favourite tree was enough.
Sitting in the large oak reminded her of times back before she ever went to Hogwarts when she used to skip school and sit on one of the trees in the local park. Most days she sat and watched the people go by and wondered what on earth being a Witch meant for her. While other days her time was spent carving into the trees with her pen knife. Her engravings were detailed and sometimes took days to be completed and as modest as Andrea was about them, they were beautiful. She missed being able to carve into something so freely, but knowing she'd probably be expelled from Hogwarts if she was seen carrying a knife she dared not bring one, besides seeing as Hogwarts was the best thing to have ever happened to her, she didn't want to risk it. Andie never actually told anyone how much she loved it here, in this world of magic, it was like she finally belonged somewhere. Andrea sat facing the great big trunk and her fingers began to pick at the bark watching the small pieces crumble and fall to the ground. It was times like these where Andie became so ignorant of everything and everyone around her, it was times like these when she was happiest.
