What's holiday when you can't show your face back home

[Nora Seville-Maxwell]

The holidays are coming up and Nora never thought on coming home, heck, she never thought of the holidays until now. But that bothered her now that exams are almost over, she was thinking if Teagan would like to stay with her in the castle or even Caelan just to give her time to explain to her parents what was going on with her. It was a relief though that none of the school head people have contacted her parents yet or she'll be getting tons of howler if ever. Done with the first set of her exams, Nora didn't bothered to even have a breath and got her books and notes with her to the lakefront. The Slytherin only needed fresh air and the moldy atmosphere of the dungeons wasn't helping her.

Taking a spot near the water, she laid her books on the ground and sat beside it. Nora sigh when she saw the water ripple from the gentle wind of summer, she wanted to play with it with her wand but she forgot that the headmistress has it. The Slytherin settled with just staring at her notes but that got boring and stood up, "Okay, Nora, you can remember all these. History isn't hard ..." She told herself as she recite some notes she did for herself. Nora's studious and all but her family questioning why she didn't end up in Ravenclaw was haunts her. For her, being knowledgeable doesn't earn you a spot in Ravenclaw, she has more qualities than just being smart that define her as a Slytherin. "Alright, who the heck is King Arthur's half-sister again?" Nora murmured this time, looking at her notes too many times for just one name. Frustration etched on her face.

[Therese Fergusson]

The brunette had enjoyed her time at Hogwarts so far. Time was flying and before she knew it she would become second year. Meeting people was going great and the girl had a lot of pleasure of doing so. Now she was about to have a walk to the Lakefront where she could draw something more. She did that at the beginning of the year and perhaps with everything she had seen she would something else on the paper with different feelings. As she made her way outside she noticed how quiet it was.

As she walked pass the water she noticed a girl sitting there and she was talking to herself. And it was kinda cute to look at. She really wanted to help the girl out, as she said who was King Arthur's half-sister again. But Therese didn't knew if the girl liked having her saying the right answer. So she decided to show up and greet her first. '' Hi there. Are you alright?'' the brunette said with bit of accent and put a smile at the end. '' I noticed you saying somethings about History of Magic. I can help you if you want?'' Therese wouldn't mind if the girl didn't want her help that was fine, she could respect that. But she couldn't live with herself if she didn't offered it. She liked helping people and this girl seemed like the same age as she was so having a conversation wasn't that bad.

Sorry this is so late!
