long forgotten words [gia]

[xxbrokenheartxx]

Aaryn was holding Emerald. The cat meowed happily as she stepped into the garden. It was quiet, at this time of night. She was only coming out her on behalf of the cat. The stuck-up little cat had meowed all night until she let the poor thing come out. She had carried the cat into the Enchanted Garden. She thought she remembered reading that the garden was some type of gift from the headmistress' husband to the headmistress. Something like that. It was a pretty little garden. Emmie started pawing at her hand impatiently. She wanted to be let out.

"Now, don't ruin any of the pretty plants," she said, releasing the cat.

Emmie jumped out of Aaryn's hands and onto the floor beside her. She hurried over to a small bush and sniffed it. Emmie quickly backed away from the bush and stuck by Aaryn's side, pawing at her legs. So much for being set free. Aaryn scooped the frightened cat up and laughed at her silliness. She kissed Emerald on the nose. She rolled her eyes slightly.

She looked at the offending bush. She bent down and smelt it. It did smell atrocious, but she knew it wouldn't hurt anyone. It was quite a pretty little purple thing. She wanted to pick a flower and stick it Emmie's fur, but that would only bother the little beast cat. She shifted her hand slightly so she was holding the pompous cat like one would hold a baby.

"Don't be silly, Emmie," she said, "they won't hurt you."

Of course, this did nothing to console the cat, who could not really understand Aaryn anyway. Aaryn walked a little farther, and Emmie did not seem to mind, as long as she was in Aaryn's arms. After walking a little bit, she began searching for a bench to sit down. She was getting tired of holding Emmie. A few minutes after this thought came to her mind, a bench appeared. Well, it did not exactly appear, but she could only now see as she rounded a corner.

Taking a seat, she let Emmie crawl into her lap. Emmie now seemed content with the amount of "outside" time they'd had and now wanted to sleep in Aaryn's lap. Aaryn rolled her eyes at the fickle cat and began stroking it's fur. Cat's always got what they wanted. No matter how annoying they got. They were just so cute. She smiled slightly to herself.

Footsteps tread lightly in the tunnel to the Enchanted Garden, Gia cradling Minnie in her arms. Light at the end of the tunnel signified the entrance to the garden, so Gia quickened her movements, and soon reached the Garden, breathing in all the flowers. Moonlight streamed through the treetops, illuminating the Garden in a very . . . pretty way. Gia loved going to the Garden at night, it was a great place to think. And since the other Gryffies had started sneezing at Min's fur in the common room, it was one of the few places she could take her now.

Said kitten began kneading at Gia's forearm with her claws. Hissing quietly, Gia released her kitten, who scampered into a bush. Probably a bird or something. "Be careful, Min," Gia instructed the bush. A faint meow was heard, and then the pitter patter of small paws running. The bush, a normal green in color, didn't seem out of the ordinary. Not like a small cluster of purple bushes a few yards away.

A faint murmur, like a consoling voice, reached Gia's ears. Someone else was here? Looking around, Gia couldn't see anyone at first, and she began walking, searching for the person. After a ways of walking, Gia could feel the tired cry of her leg muscles, begging for a place to rest. A bench seemed to pop out of nowhere out of the corner of her eye, and she began walking over to it. As she reached it, she finally noticed who was sitting on it as well, stroking a very familiar cat. Gia grinned widely and sat next to her best friend.

"Well, hello there Ms. Toes," she greeted, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Fancy seeing you here." Not to leave Emmie out, Gia stroked her fur in greeting. "Hello to you too Emmie."[/size]

[xxbrokenheartxx]

"Be careful now, Min."

Aaryn heard it and held her breath. Her sleeping cat had heard it and her ear's shot up. Aaryn wondered who it could be. After five minutes, nothing else was said, and Aaryn relaxed. She had probably just been imagining things. Who would be out here at night, anyway? Past curfew. They risked detention, not something many people would want to risk. Aaryn, on the other hand, did not particularly care if she got detention or not. She could live with it if she did. But she would try and avoid it, at least a little bit.

Soon, she heard the pitter patter of feet on the ground. It was coming closer. Closer? Would they find her? Oh, no. That would not be good. Then the person rounded the bend and she smiled. It was not a prefect or teacher coming to yell at her, but simply her best friend, Ms. Frogs. She smiled gleefully. She saw the small kitten at her feet. Emmie did to, because she hopped off Aaryn's lap and the two cats began playing happily. Min, must be Gia's cat. Aaryn knew Gia had a cat, but this was the first time she'd seen it. She was so happy to see her best friend again. She had missed her so badly, when she couldn't see her...

"Hello, Ms. Frogs," Aaryn said, grinning.

Then she stood up and gave her best friend a hug. Yes, she deserved a hug. But she would also deserve something else when she let go. She did let go and looked at Gia. Gia was about the same. With brown hair and kind eyes. She looked pretty smart. Like always. Aaryn often wondered what they had in common, why they were such great friends. They were opposites. But, of course, she could always answer that question. Gia was goofy and fun.

"Now, don't you ever disappear again, Ms. Frogs," Aaryn said, sternly, but she was still smiling, "I missed you! You know you are irreplaceable, what would I have done without you!"

She giggled a little.

[giannine]

Ms. Toes was definitely happy to see Ms. Frogs, unless Aaryn's personality had done a complete one-eighty and she suddenly hugged everyone when she said hello. Gia highly doubted it. Min was happy to see Emmie, if their playful meows and kitty games were anything to go by. Hugging Ms. Toes back, Gia listened to her friend's playful scolding.

Sometimes Gia wondered why she and Aaryn were friends, because they were certainly not similar in many ways. Aaryn was really smart, but a 'rebel' of sorts, sometimes unintentional, like walking out of Ms. Kohn's class. Her dyed hair suited her pale face, and her eyes were sharp, but not mean-looking. Their similarities were few, but Gia and Aaryn definitely had fun together. Aaryn's craziness and energy was contagious, and Gia couldn't help but been loud and fun with her bestie.

Gia put her head down, the picture of a sullen child. "Alright," she said in a mock sad tone, then lifted up her head to give Aaryn a puppy dog pout, eyes wide and bottom lip trembling. "I didn't mean to make you sad, honest! I just got busy . . . " Yeah, that was a lame excuse. But Gia knew she was joking anyways. When Aaryn giggled, Gia dropped the sorry facade and smiled at her friend. "And of course I'm irreplaceable," striking a dramatic pose. "You would have been miserable without my glowing presence," she joked.

Even though it was late, the thought of detention hadn't quite occurred to Gia. It seemed rather stupid to get in trouble for being a kind pet owner. Ah well. Taking a seat, Gia tugged on Aaryn, pulling her down onto the bench. "How have you been, Ms. Toes? Striking fear into little firstie hearts? Any more detention schemes?"[/size]

[xxbrokenheartxx]

[ooc: sorry for the late reply >.< My gmom forced me into bed.]

They always had long spurts of not seeing each other. Aaryn vowed it had to stop. It wasn't healthy for two best friends to be apart for too long. She loved her best friend. She was probably the best person in the world right now. She was far better than anyone else. She grinned. She loved her friend. She would get married to Gia right here and now if that was what she had to do to keep her. Ms. Frogs was her left sock.

Alright. I didn't mean to make you sad, honest! I just got busy . . .

Aaryn shook her head. "Whether your busy or not, we're required to see eachother once a week. We can do something like this once a week, this is non-negotiable." She stuck out her tongue at Gia and laughed. Then she felt Emmie run up behind her and Min run after her. She meowed gleefully and then ran off, Min in hot pursuit.

And of course I'm irreplaceable, you would have been miserable without my glowing presence.

She poked Gia. "Admit it," she said, "you missed me too."

She looked at the flowers. There seemed to be a commotion going on inside of a nearby bush. She rolled her eyes. It was probably Min and Emerald playing around. She grinned. She was glad that the two kittens were having such a good time. This was a good meet up for both human and beast. And it wouldn't have happened, if not for the kittens. Awww, it made her love her kitten even more. Aaryn found herself being tugged onto the bench and she giggled and obeyed, looking at Gia.

How have you been, Ms. Toes? Striking fear into little firstie hearts? Any more detention schemes?

"I've been good, Ms. Frogs," she said, grinning, "me? Strike fear in firstie hearts? Never! Well... There was this one first year... He was this emo little boy, and I probably annoyed him half to death, took away his wand, I gave it back, of course. And yes, I've already gotten detention once, from Ms. Kohn. Surprise, surprise."

[giannine]

The time between the best kind of socks seeing each other was getting bigger and bigger. Gia was a little worried that they would grow apart, but at the same time, that couldn't happen. What was one sock without the other? [oh my gosh, horrid joke >.<] It wasn't possible to think about life without her best friend, who was definitely more understanding because she was Gia's right sock.

"Whether your busy or not, we're required to see eachother once a week. We can do something like this once a week, this is non-negotiable.""

Gia nodded as if that was her punishment. "O-kay, I suppose I can do that . . ." The truth was that she had no problem, since she never had to be forced to see Aaryn, unless she was hell-bent on teasing Gia about Erick again. Speaking of which . . . smiling to herself, she turned her attention back to Ms. Toes. Chicks before . . . guys =P

A poke to her side caused Gia to giggle and twitch, so she stuck her tongue out at Aaryn in return and poked her tummy. "Alright, fine, I missed you. Happy now?" Wrinkling her nose, Gia giggled. Tiny meows and playful hisses could be heard behind a bush close by; Min and Emmie must have been pretty happy, Gia thought. Making a mental note to give a new treat to Min, because she wouldn't be here were it not for her outdoor-loving kitten, and then she wouldn't have seen Ms. Toes, Gia looked over as Ms. Toes started talking.

"He was this emo little boy, and I probably annoyed him half to death, took away his wand, I gave it back, of course. And yes, I've already gotten detention once, from Ms. Kohn. Surprise, surprise."

Mock gasping, Gia put a hand over her heart and widened her eyes. "Why, Aaryn! I'm ashamed of you. Scaring emo little firstie boys . . . although," a sly gleam entered Gia's eyes as she said this, "I'm surprised you don't have detention from Ms. Lupin yet. Ms. Kohn is no big deal, she's an old hag anyways. But Professor Slughorn is kind of scary."[/size][/font]

[xxbrokenheartxx]

The two socks were rejoined at last. They were finally a pair. Although, they were somewhat mismatched, they were a mismatched pair! That was a good thing. Mismatched pairs were always so much more fun than matching pairs. Matching pairs were BOR-ING! She grinned mentally. She could grin on the outside because she was already grinning. Wait... Ack! Aaryn was confuzzling herself again.

O-kay, I suppose I can do that . . . Aaryn rolled her eyes, knowing that Gia was only joking. But for her little "joke" she had a punishment. They had to talk about guys! She would torture Gia about Erick. Gia would tell her EVERYTHING there was to know about their relationship and where it was. If they were together. If they weren't... Well, then she would put them together.

"So Gia..." she said, "what is happening with a certain male named Erick?"

She grinned mischievously. Then came running out from the bush and hopped onto her outstretched hands and then onto her shoulder, was Emmie. She meowed teasingly. Min pawed at Aaryn's leg. She obliged and let the kitten crawl onto her hand. Emmie jumped onto Gia's shoulder and pushed Aaryn away with a paw. Aaryn laughed and let Min jump onto Gia's shoulder. Let Gia have all the weight. Then Emmie jumped into Aaryn's hand and she held her, not letting her go.

"I think you've had enough playtime, okay, time for you to get some rest while me and Ms. Frogs talk," she said. Emmie struggled for a few seconds and then closed her eyes.

Why, Aaryn! I'm ashamed of you. Scaring emo little firstie boys . . . Although, I'm surprised you don't have detention from Ms. Lupin yet. Ms. Kohn is no big deal, she's an old hag anyways. But Professor Slughorn is kind of scary.

She laughed. "Aww, Professor Slughorn isn't that bad. I fell asleep in Ms. Lupin's first class, so she couldn't have given me detention."

[giannine]

Able to keep going with the pretty sad sock jokes, Gia bit her tongue to stop herself from saying anything about it. Even though it was Ms. Toes, they had a long time to make stupid sock jokes =P

No. Aaryn must have been a mind reader using her powers for evil, because she was suddenly talking about Erick, and it was hard to keep a blush off of Gia's face. Ms. Frogs definitely needed her bestie to find a guy so she could tease her about it. Maybe Aaryn wouldn't be [as] teasing about Erick then, if she had her own guy to give her butterflies. About to open her mouth, Gia was stopped by a blur of fur as Emmie and Min jumped onto her shoulders. Staggering slightly, Gia picked up Min and held her tight, staring into her pretty blue eyes.

"That's enough missy, you can rest for a while now," Gia said to her kitten, holding her in her lap. Min obeyed [awww, good kitty], and licked Gia's fingers before closing her eyes and resting her head on her little paws. Gia turned back to Aaryn and said shyly, "Well, we went to the dance together. And then . . . we came here . . . and we walked and talked for a while . . . " The blush on Gia's face was really growing, and it always had something to with Erick.

The subject changed again, and Gia laughed. "Why exactly did icky Ms. Kohn give you detention, anyways?"[/size][/color]

[xxbrokenheartxx]

Aaryn could see the blush creep up around her face and she smirked. Well, we went to the dance together. And then . . . we came here . . . and we walked and talked for a while . . . Awww. Her bestie, Ms. Frogs was in love... So cute. When If she got a man she would NEVER be this embarrassed about him. It also wouldn't take so long for her to tell the guy. It would be easy.

"Awww," she cooed, "did you to kiss?" She grinned, slyly, "and don't change the subject!"

She laughed. But, of course, she had to tell Ms. Frogs all about the icky Ms. Kohn. All about how she had made the poor Melissa cry. And Dezi... He was hilarious! She couldn't wait. She was sure Ms. Frogs would disapprove, but laugh anyway. Oh, and she would tell Ms. Frogs about History of Magic, she was sure to get a kick out of that one.

But... What if Ms. Frogs used it as an excuse to change the subject? Aww, she would just change it back. DUHHH!!!! She grinned mentally. She was so stupid at times.

"Well, you see, this girl, Melissa, was asking about the grading system, and Ms. Kohn was being all mean," Aaryn began, "so I asked a question of my own, just so Melissa would stop being bullied by Ms. Kohn, and I asked if she was going to be mean, and, of course, this kid, my class buddy, Dezi, was all like, laughing, but then he had to cover it up with saying he had a bug in his mouth.

"Well, then Ms. Kohn yelled at Dezi, for his bug in the mouth, and yelled at Melissa for asking a question, that apparently wasn't the right question, and she made Melissa cry, Ms. Kohn is really icky, and then, she was all , 'Aaryn, you have detention!', but detention was boring, anyway."

Ack. She was babbling.

[giannine]

[Sorry Ms. Toes, still not done w/ my summer hw. Almost though =\ ]

It wasn't hard to see that Aaryn was enjoying her bestie's discomfort, and stuck her tongue out at her. The next question didn't surprise her, but Gia ignored it anyways, "I won't change the subject anymore if you'll stop teasing me!" Another stuck out tongue.

Gia knew Dezi, from Dueling Tactics last year, she thought. Melissa sounded familiar, but she couldn't quite place the face, so she didn't ask. With each word Aaryn spoke against Ms. Kohn, Gia could feel her own dislike for the Herbology T.A. rising. What a horrid woman! "That sounds horrible," she said. "I think I skipped that class. I can't remember."

Looking around, Gia absentmindedly pet Min, quiet in her arms except for a sleepy purr. It was a beautiful night, but she had run out of things to say. She had really been rather antisocial this term.
