Relaxing in the [[Grounds]]

[Cello Evans]

Cello swiftly walked down the front steps and out into the open air. The Trio's grounds were her favourite place to be, mostly because it was quiter than the main castle. Walking up to a huge oak tree on the edge of the forbidden forest she sat down and leaned back, breathing in the fresh air. Looking to her left she saw a newly planted rose bush and instantly went to smell its flowers. Cello loved fresh things such as new flowers and freshly cut grass. It helps her calm down and she gets pulled into her thoughts. Sitting back at the oak tree she sighed to herself. There were students all around but no-one was coming to speak to her.
"Ill just have to wait and see" she said to herself before looking up at the sky and focusing on the clouds passing by.

Troy was walking down by walker lake and came across Hangout Park, he had never been there before and it was his second year at the school.
He passed a rose bush and turned and saw a girl sitting alone by a large oak tree.
Troy wondered wether he should go and introduce himself or if she was waiting for someone.

He decided he would go and talk to the girl and if she was waiting for another person then he would move on. He was quite bored and wanted someone to talk to really so he moved over to the girl.

"Hi, you wouldn't mind any company would you?" he asked.

[Cello Evans]

Cello looked as the boy approached and smiled. Finally someone to talk to! He looked quite hesitant to come over but he finally strolled over and asked her a question.
"Hi, you wouldn't mind any company would you?" he asked.

"Not at all, im glad to have a bit of company. Its so lonely sometimes" She replied with a smile on her face. She patted a spot next to her for the boy to sit down and then waited for him to make conversation as she was quite shy.

[troyzoton]

Troy sat down next to the girl as she patted a spot next to her on the grass.
Troy smiled as the girl said she would be glad to have a bit of company.
He looked at the girl, "So what's your name?" he asked, he hadn't seen her around before.
"My names is Troy, Troy Zoton" he smiled as he stretched out his hand.

[Cello Evans]

Cello smiled once more as the boy sat down and asked her for her name.
"Im Cello, or Professor Cello.Im a potions TA." she said smiling.
She carried on looking at the clouds go by as she waited for an answer from Troy.

[troyzoton]

"Nice to meet you Cello or should i say Professor Cello" he laughed, "So your a TA, how old are you?" Troy thought she looked quite young to be a TA so sat and waited for her to answer as a cool breeze rode across his face as he sat under the oak tree.

[Cello Evans]

She saw Troys look of surprise when she said she was a TA and she let out a little laugh.
"Im eighteen, but i've been involved in potions for years now. My father owned a Ingredients shop and i used to help him out on the weekends. Do you enjoy Potions?" she asked him.

[troyzoton]

Do you enjoy Potions?"

Troy smiled when asked that, he guessed that she was a Potions TA he didn't really like potions he wasn't very good at it.
He looked at Cello, "No i don't like potions, too much, it's hard but i like mixing the ingredients and stuff, it can be quite good in a way" he replied, thinking to himself that Potions wasn't an all to bad lesson.

"So what years are you going to be teaching?" Troy asked curiously.

[Cello Evans]

Cello laughed when he gave his answer to her question.

"Ye alot of people have that view on Potions" she said

"So what years are you going to be teaching?" he asked her and she answered very quickly

"All TA's teach first second and third years. Im really nervous about my first class. Its on September 3rd. Will i be seeing you there?"

It was putting him on the spot because he said he hadn't liked the lesson very much but it would be nice to see a familiar face in her lesson she thought.

[troyzoton]

"Will i be seeing you there?"

Troy nodded as Cello asked him this and said with a smile, " Yeah you will see me there, even though i'm usually late for lessons though" Troy laughed.

"Don't be too nervous" Troy said assuringly, "All of the students are mainly okay and pretty cool really" Troy said as he had had no trouble in his lessons.

"And hey, it will be cool having a TA only a year or two older than me" he smiled, "You'll probably get along with the students really well" he smiled.

[Cello Evans]

" Yeah you will see me there, even though i'm usually late for lessons though"

When Troy said this Cello laughed a little.

"Oh well, i might just let you off this once!" she joked. This conversation was really cheering her up and she liked getting to know students. Troy was really helping her not feel nervous about her upcoming lesson.

"And hey, it will be cool having a TA only a year or two older than me"
Upon hearing this Cello giggled.

"I may only be a year or two older but i do know a thing or two about Potions" she said with a grin.

"So what are your favourite lessons?" she asked.

[troyzoton]

"Oh well, i might just let you off this once!"

Troy laughed when Cello said that, I'll make sure i'm on time for your lessons" Troy grinned, "I don't want you to have to shout at me" Troy grinned again.

"I may only be a year or two older but i do know a thing or two about Potions"

Troy smiled, "Yeah i'm sure you do, your only two years older than me and i bet you know about ten times as much to do with potions than me, actually probably even more than that, i'm no hero at this subject" Troy laughed.

"So what are your favourite lessons?"

Troy grinned, "Well it's not potions" he smiled, " My favourite subject is Defence Against the Dark Arts, it's really cool learning all these defence spells" and then Troy paused not knowing if this was the right thing to say, " I would prefer there to be a....Dark Arts class..." he said with a lowered voice, "I mean just wouldn't it be useful to know these kind of spells although dark wizards use them, i mean just so... if we were attacked we could use some of them back against them, i just think that would be a good idea" Troy stammered not knowing how to say it with a slight glint in his eye.

He looked back up at Cello and hoped she didn't think he was weird for saying that.

[Cello Evans]

"I'll make sure i'm on time for your lessons"

"Good, i dont want to have to dock house points! Only joking!" she laughed.

When Troy was speaking about the Dark Arts she was shocked for a minute but then realised what he said was quite true.

"Yes, i suppose it would be quite interesting to learn them but not use them of course. But its probably banned by the Ministry. Potions of that kind are taught in Potions lessons for seventh years but they dont actually brew them. They just learn about them for their N.E.W.T.S."

She didnt know why she was baffling on about Potions again. He clearly wasn't interested in the lesson so she quickly changed the subject.

"So Defence against the Dark Arts ey? My mum never taught me that when i was home schooled. Dont get me wrong, i know just as much as the next person about defensive spells but its all learnt from me and hwta i've seen other people do over the years. Whats your favourite defense spell then?" she said.
