sitting alone[nessa]

[Ashley Tapping]

bored bored is what ashley was as she walked randomly out to a pier one evening. she decided to sit down because she had nothing to do that night. she was not taking any classes right now so she really had nothing else to do. she sat down on the edge and decided to put her feet in so she dipped her feet in the water and it was really actually quite nice the water was just nice enough for her to go swimming in. luckily she was still wearing her suit from later on that day, so she took off her clothes and dived in thinking about nothing in particular. she began to swim around and then dived down to the very bottom.

Nessa walked out of the boring castle. She hadn't been with many people today and she was ready to talk to someone. So she tried outside. She walked onto the damp grass. She walked over to the lake, but saw no one. She decided to go to the pier. though she almost knew no one was there, she wanted to go there. Besides she needed to get some fresh air.

She walked out onto the pier and sat down on a bench. She didn't see anyone, but there was a pile of clothes on the pier. She thought maybe someone had left them their because she couldn't see anyone in the water, but then again it was pretty murky. She looked up at the bright sky and closed her eyes. She then looked across the lake. It was a beautiful day. She had her swimming suit on, but decided that she did not want to go in the water by herself so she just sat there. "Ahhh" She quietly said relaxing.

as ashley was swimming around the bottom of the lake she began to run out of air so she decided to come back up for some some. when she came to the surface she saw a girl about her age sitting there. ashley let out a little scream because the girl had scared her very much. she said to the girl," who r u and when did you get here?"

Just as nessa has almost fell asleep(whoops) she heard a girl scream, and she suddenly stood up and looked around surprised. She then spotted The girl there in the water treading water. She almost fell in the water because she had been so surprised. "Well im sorry but i didn't know you were here!" Nessa said breathing deeply because her heart had basically stopped. "Oh and Im Nessa Hansen, First year Hufflepuff. I got here just maybe about five minutes ago. And you are?" She said slowly sitting down again. Nessa was actually happy to see someone she had never seen there and was hoping the girl would want to talk and perhaps go swimming with her.

"its ok,"said ashley "i was just surprised to see you, im ashley tapping im in gryffindor would you like to go swimming with me im kinda bored and it would be more fun with another person?"ashley said. she began to like this girl and could tell that they could get along pretty well.

"Oh well sure, i have my bathing suit on and everything! how perfect!" Nessa said her face lighting up. "Here ill be in in one moment." She said starting to take off her shoes. Nessa pulled off her shorts and then her shirt. She folded them and placed them on the bench. She dived into the cool water. It was so refreshing. The lake was deeper than she thought. But the deeper the better. Nessa swam over to where the girl, ashley, was. She then said "It's nice to meet you!" with a smile. Nessa then tilted her head under the water and took it back up. "The water is nice! Isn't it?" Nessa said swimming a bit further, motioning to Ashley to follow her.

[Ashley Tapping]

"yeah its nice to meet you to and i know isn't the water perfect!! here lets go swim over there and then dive," ashley was really starting to like her. "so how long have you been at hogwarts? i have not seen you around." ashley said as she started to swim towrds the middle of the lake "of course i have only been here a week or so."

[giraffe]

"Ok!" Nessa answered but did not swim too far. "Well i have only been her about a week and a half." Nessa answered happily. She was happy that she had met a new girl and hoped that they could be friends. She swam a bit deeper, but then stopped and realized how deep she was in. "Hey i dont want to go any deeper ok?" Nessa said suddenly remembering that there was a giant squid in the lake and many other animals. "Hey you might want to come back a little. This boy told me that there was a giant squid in the water and it could be very dangerous. Oh and a numerous amount of other animals down there. I'd rather keep my distance from them"

[Ashley Tapping]

"ok i totally agree i did not know there was a giant squid in the water, lets swim back to the pier and out of the deep water." she said so ashley begane to swim back when suddenly she noticed a movement in the water."ok now im really freaked out i just saw something move in the water and it looked pretty big." she said shakily,"lets hurry!" she added.

[giraffe]

Nessa shook her head and swam as fast as she could to the pier with Ashley right next to her. They finally got their. "Wow that scared me!" Nessa said taking short, choppy breaths. "I thought i was going to die!" Nessa said kind of smiling seeing how dumb that seemed now. "Hey would you consider us friends?" Nessa asked sort of not sure why she asked that.

[Ashley Tapping]

"yeah i think i do consider us friends, hey would you like to go for a walk in the enchanted gardens i have never been there before and i would like to see them sometime, so do you want to go? ashley said this as she got out of the water and pulled her clothes back on.
