first meetings [ josie ]

Justin sighed quietly as he emerged from the odd tunnel he stumbeled upon while he took a tour of the school. He figured the more he explored the place and got to know it, the easier it would be for him later on when he needed to get to a place and all that other stuff. Light brown eyes scanned the place he had found, lots and lots of flower, not his favorite thing in the world but oh well. He continued to walk slowly looking at all the different types of flowers as he passed them.

Tugging down on his dark blue Hollister t-shirt he stuffed his hands into the pockets of his faded blue jeans. The last place he wanted to find himself at was a place jack full of flowers, he thought this place would be all about the magic and have all this magicy things... Not a 'muggle' thing life roses, and tulips... Apparently his image of this place was very wrong. For instance he didn't think it would be a castle, he thought it would be some dumb looking school place, and the kids he figured they would be huge nerds.

But to his suprise they werent that bad. In the Gryffindor common room thre were a lot of people, none of them came off as a nerd to him. =P He walked over to a bush with a purple flower and picked it twirling it in his fingers as he began to walk slowly once again.

[ ack! that sucked my next post will be better. ]

Josie sat on the edge of the fountain, her feet lazily tracing circles in the cool water it contained.

She hadn't meant to come to the gardens and wasn't sure she was going to be able to find her way out, all she had been thinking when she arrived here was that she needed to get away.

She hadn't been at the school long and already she was overwhelmed, So many young bodies compiled in one place, all fighting to bee seen and heard was a little more than Josie could handle right now.

She loved the castle already and could even see herself calling it home, but for now she needed a little breathing room, and thus her journey outside the great four walls had begun. She had, had no idea of which direction to take and had instead decided to explore hoping to get a better feel of the castle and all it contained, inside and out.

Book in hand she had walked until the she felt at peace.

Slowly the tension in her shoulders had subsided and the banging in her head and the constant ringing in her ears had cleared. She hoped she would get used to this way of life soon, it wasn't like her to shy away to some remote corner and be by herself.

And yet here she was, sat at the fountain, nose in her book unaware of anything going on around her.

Boredom. Back home Justin was never bored, he always had a way to entertain himself. Usually with hanging out with his friends. And with his lack of friends at the moment made him extremely bored, hell he was in a garden fiddling with a purple flower. Not the funnest thing in the world, nibbling on his bottom lip lightly he looked up from the flower spotting a fountian. Wrinkling up his nose a bit he headed towards it, might as well check it out now, there wasnt anything else to do.

Brushing his fingers though his hair when he got to it he smiled lightly spotting a girl with her pretty little nose in a book. Smirking a little bit he dropped his flower into the fountian and walked over to her sitting down next to her. "What ya readin?" He asked prentending to be intrested in what she was reading. This was his crappy attempt at making a new friend, great right? [=

Josie sighed softly as she lost herself within the pages of her book. It was more gripping than she had thought it would be. She smiled as the plot continued to unfold and giggled at comical snippets.

Turning the page she absent mindedly brushed the fly away tendrils of hair that had escaped her pony tale to dance tauntingly in front of her eyes, distracting her from the story she was enjoying.

She hadn't noticed anyone enter the gardens, and she was so unfocused on her surroundings she hadn't seen them approach her. She wasn't actually aware of their presence until they spoke.

She jumped slightly but refrained from letting out a yelp of surprise.

People came out of nowhere in this castle!

She smiled at his direct question, and keeping her finger within the pages to keep her place she showed him the worn cover of a book that was clearly well used.

"Emma." She said simply, "A Classic and one of my favorites." She finished gracing him with a smile.
