Walking by the lake [Nick]

[melody]

Melody let out a sigh as she walked by the lake, her favourite place to be, her hair blonde hair was put up into a simple pony tail and she was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, simple yet nice on her. Melody wasn't really the type of girl to try to hard with her looks because she didn't really need to, she might have sounded a bit conceited but she really wasn't, many people told her she was pretty and she thought the same. As a piece of her bangs fell in front of her eyes she brushed it away, looking out towards the water.

It was so peaceful, and it was a nice day, a great combination, except not that many people were outside, just a few walking by here and there with their friends while Melody was alone. Taking a seat by a tree, Melody wished that hopefully someone would come along and save her from this boredom.

Nick pat his cats head gently and bid him goodbye. He was off to explore the grounds of hogwarts. He had heard rumors of there being a giant squid in the lake so thats where he decided to head fisrt. It was around like one o'clock and Nick was ready for a great afternoon. He was even hoping to make a new friend along the way.

He ran down the winding staircase jumping the one that was actually invisable. Its a good thing a boy tiped him off about that or he would've fallen for sure. He past the great hall and went through the big doors that led to the outside world aka outside. He had a perfect view of all of the grounds he saw a park a garden a bit off to the side and the lake. Everything was still there were no waves. The lake was sparkiling with the light from the sun on it. He set off a good pace.

Nick walked up to the edge right were there was water. He had brought his swimsuit just in case he ever wanted to go swimming that day. Nick glanced at all of the people going by with their friends laughing. This was Nicks second day here and he had only met two people. O well soon that was going to change. He saw a smooth sone pick it up and then slid it across the waters top. It hitting the water three times. He wasn't that great at skipping stones, but he figured he was okay at it.

He sighed deeply and looked around. It was weird everybody was paired off not in like the way of couples but everybody had a friend except for himself. Right before he was about to leave he saw a girl, who looked about the same age as himself finally. Without a second thought he walking quickly went up to the girl and said with a friendly smile, "Hey I'm Nick Trimin. Who are you?"

[melody]

"Hey I'm Nick Trimin. Who are you?"

Breaking from her thoughts about school and what ever else she was thinking about she looked up at the person that had spoke to her. Brushing her blonde bangs out of her hazel eyes once again so she could see the boy more clearly she gave him a friendly smile in return. He looked about her age but she had never seen him around before, and he was kind of cute, but that was besides the point. "Hey," Melody replied sweetly. "I'm Melody Monte, are you new here?" it wasn't intended to sound rude, although it might have sounded that way, it was just that she had never seen him around before.

At least someone had come and talken to her though, as she hated always being the one going to talk to people, well most of the time anyways. She didn't know many people that were outgoing, like she was a lot of the time, she knew a lot of people that were shy though.

"I'm Melody Monte, are you new here?"

Nick replied,"Nice to meet you Melody. And yeah i'm new here just got here yesterday. I have only met two people, but now including you... That makes three!" Nick said with a small laugh. "Do you mind if i sit down?" He asked looking out at the beautiful lake. There was a nice cool breeze and the sun was shining. So basiclly it was a perfect day. Nick loved it when it was like this he just felt so alive. "So where are you from?" Nick asked trying to make conversation.
[sorry short! some of mine are most of the time.]

[melody]

[OOC: it's okay a lot of mine seem to be short lately and I'm not sure why]

"It's nice to meet you too," Melody replied with a smile and she nodded as he said that he had only got here yesterday. She then patted the ground next to her, signalling that it was okay for him to sit down.

"I came here a few months ago and I didn't really get to know anyone for a long time and I still don't have many friends," Melody said, also with a small laugh, many found her to be a bit strange, she didn't really care what many people thought of her, and a lot of the people thought she was strange becasuse all she was doing was having fun. "I got sorted into Gryffindor." Gryffindor was the house that Melody had actually hoped she would get into, she didn't really think that she fit in any other house. "What house did you get sroted into?" she asked curiously. "I came from Canada, kind of far away from here but my twin sister and my brother came to England to live with my grandparents," Melody explained, not going into too much detail about her past. That wasn't something she really liked to talk about and she only talked about it with her closest friends, which she didn't seem to really let people in to get to know the real her, but the real her could be quite different than the Melody she showed to the outside world. Melody had a feeling though that her and Nick would actually become quite close friends.

Gryffindor that was Nicks favorite. Not saying that just because he got sorted into ti though. Although he really did like Ravenclaw as well. "I'm a Gryffindor as well." Nick said returning into the conversation with her. "I used to live in Oregon in the united states but when my ffamily got the Owl we moved to England as well." Nick stated. he loved living in England it was really fun to listen to everybody with that kinda accsent.

Nick took a seat down by her and looked out ovr the lake it was beautiful outside today. the sun was shining and the lake was still. "So do you have any siblings here? Other than your sister? and what house is she in?" he asked looking back to her waiting for her reply. Nick loved talking about anything really he wasn't shy at all. he layed with his back on the grass and his hands behind his back looking up at the tree.

[melody]

Melody nodded as Nick spoke. "Well I guess I'll be seeing you in the common room from time to time," she said with a smile over to Nick. "I have a brother but he doesn't go here, at least not anymore. And my sister is a Slytherin," Melody replied. Her and her sister were complete opposites so she wasn't at all surprised when she was sorted into Slytherin, she was sly, cunning and she used people to get what she wanted, so really Grace belonged in Slytherin, but Melody found it strange how the two got along so well, most of the time anyways.

"Do you want to go swimming?" Melody asked randomly looking over at Nick again, waiting for a reply, the water looked nice and she was wearing her bathing suit under her clothes.

[OOC: kind of short, sorry]

"Yeah ill be seein gyou around." nick said sitin gback up. "So are you taking any classes?" he asked curiously. he hasn't taken classes yet. He knew it was bad but he just wanted to get to know people for a while. He looked at her and saw her eyes they were very pretty.

"Do you want to go swimming?"

That was the thing about Hogwarts. You could just meet someone and already be doing something. he loved it! "yeah that would be great! Its a good thing i brought my swim suit." he said smiling and gettin up. He wakled down to the shore and looked back at her. "Ya coming?" he asked waiting for her to catch up with him.

[melody]

"No, I'm not taking any classes yet, I probably should though," Melody said with a small laugh and a smile, for some reason she seemed to be smiling a lot. You would think that she would take some classes, seeing as that was why she was going to the school, to get an education, but she still hadn't enrolled in any yet.

She watched Nick get up and go down to the shore. "Of course I'm coming," Melody replied with a smile as she brushed her hair out of her eyes. Melody got up as well, dusting her clothes off as she made her way over to him, she then pulled off her t-shirt and jeans and swam out into the water, wading in the water waiting for Nick to join her. The water was a nice temperature, it was cool but not so cold that you didn't want to stay in the water for a long time.

[Ryan Shanks]

[hey sorry it took so long to reply been busy!!!]

"Of course I'm coming,"
Nick smiled and waited patenily for her. he dunked under the water and came back up to find Meldoy already standing right there. "Wow that was fast!" he told her smiling. he splashed some water at her. Right then and there it hit him. "hey i think i have met you rsister. Did you say her name was Grace? Ya i think she came into a compartment with me and this other guy. She seemed very nice. Are you two alike?" Nick ask her. He wasn't sure if she was the kind of girl that was open about things like family, but he figured he would take a chance.

[melody]

[It's okay, I don't mind Sorry that's it's kind of short ]

Melody gave a small laugh as she came up from the water and she began to tread water as he splashed her. Making a jokingly shocked face she splashed him back as he asked a question about her sister. "Yeah, her names Grace," she replied with a nodd of her head. Melody wasn't going to say anything bad about her sister, she could be nice... at times, like when flirting with a guy, which she did a lot of the time, or when she wanted something. "Actually we're complete opposites," Melody replied with another small laugh. "We do have some things in common, but not a lot, all we really have in common is we both love to write."

[Ryan Shanks]

[np mine is kinda short! i thought yours was ok!]
"I didn't know that you knew how to write well." Nick told her. Nick also enjoyed writing. THe problem was theough he wasn't very good at it. O well. "So are you and grace like twins or something?" he asked her. They both a little bit looked alike maybe not though. Nick kinda forgot. He stopped treding and let himself sink to the bottom and come back up again. "Do you play any intruments?" he asked her. He himself used to play the gutiar but stoped after awhile. He was the kind of guy that likedlistening to the music more than playing it.
