As The Rain Pours {Brayden}

[melody]

Melody gave a small sigh as she walked out onto the grounds, the sun was covered by a thick mass of gray clouds that were threatening to rain at any moment. A few people were scattered around the lake, either walking by, sitting on the ground talking with their friends or even dozing off against a nearby tree. Running her fingers through her black hair she took a seat at the edge of the lake and watched the waves come in against the shore. She loved this place, it was probably her favourite place to be, well second to the Quidditch pitch anyways. It was always so peaceful and it was a great place to just think. Something that Melody seemed to be doing a lot lately.

As Melody felt a rain drop she sighed again, she loved the rain, it was her favourite weather but she wasn't looking forward to it right now. So as she got up from her spot she walked over to a nearby tree she didn't notice anyone was under at the moment. The rain began to fall more and made tiny ripples in the lake and a calming sound, sitting there watching the ripples she noticed that a few of the other people had started to run up towards the castle, maybe she should have done the same as them. But then again she didn't exactly feel like going back to the castle, there wasn't much to do as so many people were crammed in the common room and it was hard to move around. Meldoy had even fallen a few times in the common room as a few third years had ran by her shouting and screaming. It took everything she had to keep her mouth shut as she usually said what was on her mind and she didn't like third years or below to begin with.

The rain fell onto Brayden's light bronw hair as he walked out onto the grounds, of Hogwarts. He had no other place to be, and then rain seemed to be cooling as Brayden walked down to the lake with a white t-shirt on and his Hawaiian print swim trunks. The rain began to fall a little harder, and now Brayden was almost soaked completly.

As Brayden walked to the lake, he noticed a girl sitting under a large tree right near the beach. He wondered what she was doing out here in the rain, but she was probably thinking the same thing about him, so he decided to see what was up.
He walked over to the tree and saw he had never seen her before.
"Hello, what are you doing out here in the rain?" Brayden asked her.

Brushing her hair away from her face again Melody looked up as someone talked to her. Surprising really, seeing as Melody was usually the one walking up to people and starting conversations. "Hey," she said with a small smile as she looked up at the boy. The tree didn't seem to stop the rain from getting Melody wet, as she was already soaked pretty much.

"I could ask you the same question," she then replied jokingly with another warm smile. She had never seen the boy before, but he seemed nice, although she couldn't exactly say just yet. "But I came out here to think... and then it started raining," Melody finished still keeping eye contact with the boy.

[Brayden Christiansen]

"But I came out here to think... and then it started raining,"

"Oh, I dunno why I came out here, I was just kind of bored. Anyways, I'm Brayden Christiansen, Gryffindor." Brayden told her, as he took a seat next to the girl under the tree, looking up in the sky, it was gray with a blue-ish tint, and the sun was just barely shining behind one of the huge clouds.

[melody]

Melody let out a small laugh when the Brayden told her that he didn't know why he had come out there. That had happened to Melody on more than one occasion. As he introduced himself Melody gave another smile, that was one of the things about her, she was always smiling, well most of the time anyways. "It's nice to meet you Brayden, I'm Melody Monte also in Gryffindor," Melody said introducing herself as she looked over to the lake for a second then back at Brayden.

[Brayden Christiansen]

"It's nice to meet you Brayden, I'm Melody Monte also in Gryffindor,"

Brayden looked out into the lake. The raindrops made the lake look like it was shaking.
"Hmm, It looks like the rain might be clearing up." Brayden said, because it looked like the rain had started to fall a little lighter. He was still basically soaked, though. Braden knew there was a spell you can use to dry yourself, but he hadn't learned it yet.
"So, have you learned any spells yet?" Brayden asked Melody.

[melody]

The rain did seem to be clearing a bit, the rain drops were no longer falling as heavily as there once were and the sun could slightly be seen through the clouds. "We've learned a few spells in our classes, but none of them are exactly useful. Or at least I don't find them to be," Melody replied to Brayden's question with a small shrug. "If only the teachers had taught us how to dry ourselves, that would be a useful spell," she then finished with a small laugh. It really would have been a useful spell, seeing as she felt a bit uncomfortable in her clothes as they were clinging to her.
