A Walk ((open))

Post by Amelia Colton Fri Aug 03, 2012 1:25 pm

The chilly wind swept across the grounds, causing some of the thin trees to bend dangerously close to breaking, and messing up Amelia Colton's hair. Not that she minded. She was aware of the fate of her dark curls when she had stepped outside just a few moments ago.

It felt good to walk around the grounds, especially when it was a little empty. Kind of unusual for her to feel good when she was alone, since she always liked to hang out with her friends...but it does do one good to spend time alone and collect their thoughts. Her homework was done and she had had her dinner. And she decided that since she's so bored out of her wits, she could take a walk around the lake, one of her favourites spots in Hogwarts.

As she continued walking, she couldn't help but think about her still unanswered owl that she had sent to her father a week ago. She made sure to sent him owls quite frequently, to make sure he's fine. But the replying owls are either delayed, or they never come. Amelia sighed. She knew how busy her father was. It wasn't easy, juggling between the roles of an Auror, and a single father of a teenage girl. But was it really that hard to write up a short reply and send it to her? It would at least ease her mind, and she could be at peace for some time, knowing that her father was fine.

She neared the very familiar oak tree, the one that she had sat under since the start of her first year at Hogwarts, and plopped down on her yet another favourite spot. She leaned back on her hands, looking up at the moonlit sky. How beautiful. Now, if only there was someone around here to join her...

Taking deep breaths of the cool Scottish air, Savannah smiled around at the grounds. She felt great, a feeling she had truly missed. After spending the last year and a bit completely buying in to the words of Ava, she felt free, knowing that it was nothing more than a lie.

And Ava was even being - well, he wasn't nice. He was never nice, but he was bearable. Letting out a little snort of amusement as she remembered how younger her had been under the impression that she'd been cursed when he'd began talking to her. Merlin, she'd been a prat, hadn't she? Having him around all the time was nice. She'd always be able to get both his and Honey's opinion on everything. It was like having a friend with her 24/7.

Staring up at the moon, a little smile tugged on her lips. She probably wasn't even allowed out here (okay, she knew she wasn't), but she'd been in a rebellious mood recently. Really, it'd been since Juliet had gotten the idea of buying a pet dragon into her head. As soon as half-term came around, she'd buy one. But until then, she'd spent time trying to figure out where exactly one could buy these sort of things.

Too caught up in her own thoughts, she barely noticed her feet taking her towards the lake. The aquaphobic was alright with being by it, but being in the water? She'd become a panicky mess.

However, she didn't find herself half-submerged in water. Instead, Savannah found herself walking straight into a tree. Jolted, she swore, scowling up at the tree as she rubbed her forehead. "Well, fuck you too, tree."

Continuing to rub at her forehead, she blinked once, then twice, as she noticed the girl sitting by the tree. Blushing, the Gryffindor rocked back and forth on her heels, "This is awkward..."

You don't say.

Amelia was pretty much absorbed in her own thoughts, deeply concerened about her father and her failing Transfiguration essays, when she heard the voice. Well, heard the colourful vocabularly that the voice brought out, actually. With a jolt, she stood up, only to see a young girl rubbing her head. Judging from her annoyed tone and her hand busily rubbing her forehead, Amelia could see that the girl had walked into the tree, and tried to stifle a giggle.

"Well, hello to you too!" she greeted, chuckling. "Not the kind of words I'm used to hearing, but hey, I'm not a saint myself," she shrugged, smirking. The girl looked to be younger than her. Amelia had probably seen her around, but she couldn't remember ever actually befriending her.

"I'm Amelia Colton," she introduced herself. She was quick in making friends, and so always introduced herself to anyone new she meets. She was never cautious around anyone.

Continuing to rub at her forehead, she blinked over at the laughing girl. Was this really a laughing matter? Her walking into trees? Well, if it was someone else Savannah would be rolling around on the ground. So, she shook her head and laughed at herself.

"Heat of the moment sort of thing." she giggled. "I swear I don't have a sailor mouth." Bouncing on her heels, Savannah grinned at the older girl.

"Savannah Lerran. Nice to meet you, Amelia."
