Are we growing up? [Helena]

[cremefilled]

Sev sat on the hill overlooking the lake. He just stared out into the water, watching some other students swimming, playing, and enjoying the last few days of warm weather before winter would make this place a smooth, white plain. He sighed and rolled over to his backpack.

Pulling out a notebook and pencil, Sev began writing a letter to his mother and grandmother. Just the usual "I'm doing great here" type thing. There was nothing too interesting going on, aside from a growing friendship with Troy. Sev was glad to have someone to hang out with, as it was something he barely experienced before coming to Hogwarts.

But still, he enjoyed these solitary moments when he could just reflect. This did not mean that he was necessarily happy being alone at the moment. In fact, that Sunday afternoon had been speant alone. Sev wished for someone to hang out with. Just to be able to use his voice for a bit even.

Splash! Helena was splashed again by the swimmers in thw water. They always seemed to get her every time she was wearing a skirt. Maybe the girl girl look wasn't for her. She hadn't had her gutiar today. It was Sunday so she just would walk around grounds until she found some one to talk to.

She got up and started making her way towards Hangout Park. She saw a boy sitting by himself. Maybe he was waiting for some one. She walked over towards the guy. Time to make a new friend. "Hey. Mind if I sit here.?" she asked him.

Sev looked up at the girl standing in front of him. Well, this was definately an interesting way to meet someone, just walking up and saying hello. Perhaps, Sev would give this a try himself. But then again, shyness would probably take over. Sometimes Sev hated that he was so shy.

"Yeah, you can definately sit here," he nodded. "I don't mind. Name's Sev."

[helenahorror]

Helena smiled. "Helena." she said to him. She sat down across from him. She sighed looking for some thing to say in her mind.

"So. What are you doing out here?" she asked.

"Nice to meet you, Helena," Sev nodded, smiling. He shrugged. "I have no exact reason to be out here, to tell you the truth. I'd just rather be outside in the open air. It's really too confined and loud within the castle."

He took a look at this girl, just trying to get his first impressions of her. She seemed like a nice girl and someone who would be fun to talk with. "So," he said, making the usual conversation, "What year are you in?"

[helenahorror]

"I'm a firstie Griffindor." she told him. "What about you"" she asked him. He looked like a firstie too. And maybe a Mihael. But who knows. He could be a Griffindor too. but again who knows.

"And I have to agree with the whole castle thing. Its way to loud. Even in the dorms. I hate it in there." she said to him

"First year Ravenclaw," Sev nodded. "Runs in the family, I guess." Even though his mother was the first one in his family to go to wizarding school, he still liked the idea of being a part of a legacy.

"Dorms are tough. The only other Ravenclaws I really know are my friends Troy and Ashleigh. So I'll see them from time to time in the mornings or at night. But other than that, I've mostly seen people outside the dorms. Mostly outside," Sev shrugged. "I like the outside."

[helenahorror]

"I love to go outside and play my guitar. But thats it. I take walks every once and a while. And every Sunday I just go outside without my guitar and sit by the lake. Which I was doing before iI came over here. I left cause people were splashing. and I was going to get soaked." she told him.


"But I know a couple people in the Griffindor house. But I just got here a couple days ago so I haven't been able to get the whole friends thing down." she admitted. "I proablly will make more friends by the end of term." she said to him shrugging. "So how has your experiance here been so far?" she questioned

Sev nodded. He wondered why Helena's shirt was a little wet but he thought it would have been rude to ask. Luckily, his curiosity was satisfied.

"Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I'm still trying to meet people," Sev shrugged. "But the experience has been great. I really like this place already. Do you think we'll be able to pass onto the next term even though we came so late into this one?"

[helenahorror]

Helena looked at him. "Yeah." she said to him. "Cause I know a guy who left in the middle of the year and he never finished his 1st year but hes a second year now." she told him. "Any one could pass as long as you go to class and all that crap." she told him.

"Plus every one passes most of the time. I think I've only meet one person who didn't pause cause he only went to one class." she told him. "But I don't like that crowd so they could be telling me a different story." she told him. "Do you know Cody Welsh, Samantha Lewis, Illusion Rayne, Jacob Bell, or Xianex Arcane?" she asked. Talk about the wrong crowd. They were going to replace Holden and Avery's group sooner or later once they were out of there that crowd was going to run the school. But thats just what Helena thought.

((ooc: No, it's fine. Sorry this is short, but I got to go do something in, like, 5 minutes.))

"Well, I've been to every class offered since I've been here," Sev shrugged. "So I can just hope for the best."

He pushed his dark bangs out of his face. "No I've never heard of those people. What year are they in?"

[helenahorror]

"Yeah thats a good idea." she told him. "But I'm only talking the classes I need to take. So I can pass my first year." she told him.

"But lets see all of those people are second years except Illusion. But yeah." she told him.p

"I'm only in the basic classes myself," Sev said. "But they're all really easy. At least for me."

He listened to Helena explain those people she previously mentioned. "Yeah, I don't know any second years except for Allison. She's a Mihael. But other than her, the only other students I know are first years as I see them in class often."
