What Makes Us Different

[Hadan Winters]

Hadan ventured into the North Tower, a place where she had once comforted Raffael after going to the Yule Ball with him for the first time. She did not go to the Halloween Feast this year, and she just hung out with Alyssa Snow. Both of them had their boys graduate last year, and now they were neighbors. Hadan was rather saddened that Raffael was no longer at the school. It bothered her a bit too much than it should. Perhaps she was in love with the Ravenclaw alumni. Hadan knew for a fact that she was in love with him. Her red eyes glanced around the area of the North Tower, and no one was here, which was better for her part. She needed some time to herself every so often.

The Slytherin girl went to the window ledge, and Hadan perched up on it. She pulled her legs up and she held her place rather firmly. Hadan had muscles in her legs from her hard training to keep in fighting shape, and she had excellent balance as well. Some of the best qualities to have when you want to balance and such on small things. Hadan gazed out the window, a breeze rustling through her brown hair. It was warm outside, and the clouds covered the sun, which was good for the albino. Despite the potions she has been taking for her condition, it didn't change the eyes, and her skin was still sensitive to the sun.

Yet, the potion changed her hair color. Brown. That she was thankful for. Her red eyes loomed down to the lawn and saw some of the first years roaming down the lawn and playing, practicing some spells, whatever. Hadan smiled gently, wondering if she should have her own children. She was doing the action, but she was being too careful to end up pregnant. Hadan was too young, even though she was older than the rest of those in her year, having to repeat the second year because of her mother and then her mother dying. Hadan sighed softly, and her gaze went to the cloudy sky, her thoughts amusing her.

 

[Jessica Reed]

[sorry for only getting to this now!]

Jessica didn't bother attending the Halloween feast this year, she didn't see the point in it really. Although this was only her second year at Hogwarts and she had only attended one Hogwarts Halloween feast in her entire life, what was the point in going this time? She was quite aware that she had few friends; Jenny and Patricia. And she wasn't even sure if she could call Patricia her friend having only talked to the girl a few times. The other problem was that Jenny was still quite upset about Scorpius leaving and having gone through that experience herself, Jessica knew the best way to recover was to be alone. So why would she get all dressed up to hang out by herself? Besides she felt she was getting too old for that kind of stuff anyways.

Making sure to leave her dorm early enough, Jessica strolled the castle admiring (and mentally making fun of) some of the students that passed her by fully dressed in their costumes. She stood outside the Great Hall peering in briefly before turning swiftly on her heels back up the staircases. The clattering of plates and loud laughter became very distant as she continued to climb each staircase until all that was heard was the slow shuffling of her converse against the marvel floor. The moonlight poured through each window, illuminating the sixteen year old as she passed by them. Very abruptly, Jessica changed her plans, she knew most students were at the feast and being along in the North Tower was far better then being alone in her dorm.

Not being fully accustomed to the long flight of stairs, the Gryffindor entered the North Tower panting. She looked around the room to see someone had already occupied her space at the window. It took her a few seconds to fully recognize the girl as Hadan from a few of her classes although, Jessica rarely paid attention in her classes so she wasn't even one hundred percent sure that that was this girls name. "Hey." Was all that came from the American's lips, she was never good at talking to strangers or people she didn't know all that well, and this time was no exception.

 

[Hadan Winters]

Hadan heard a small voice, and she recognized the accent. America. Hadan had been there a few times, but not too often to where the accent stuck. The only accent that stuck with her was Romanian. But even then, it was faint. Her red eyes landed on a Gryffindor girl in her classes, and from what Hadan could remember, her name was...Jessica? Yes, it was Jessica, but the last name did not come at all. Hadan didn't respond at first, because she was in conflict with her former prejudice self with hating Gryffindors, but ever since Raffael, she learned to give everyone benefit of the doubt. Hadan would have to give this girl the same. Everyone deserved it, and the girl also said 'hey' to her. Hadan would have to get off of her high horse and just will have to see if this girl was a friend, or a foe.

The Slytherin girl moved her legs to the floor and she stood up to her full height which wasn't that tall, not compared to her family. She gave Jessica a smile, and she responded, "Hey, Jessica." It was just a guess, but Hadan was winging it right now. Going by what she knew and what she was remembering. Hadan didn't move from her spot, but with her thigh muscles, she leaned her body back against the stone wall, and she wondered what the Gryffindor girl was doing all the way up here, and not with her other friends. Hadan was not with her friends right now, and her best friend was actually Alyssa, a Glam Squad member, and then there was her sister here going to school now, in the house of Ravenclaw. "What brings you up here?" Hadan had no threatening tone to it, and she used a friendly tone. She had no reason to be mean; unless Jessica was one of those types that got on Hadan's nerves.
