Strolling *Open*

[Ryan Shanks]

Nick strolled around the corner of hogwarts one morning. This was Nicks first day ever in Hogwarts and he was really excited to explore around the school. he looked along the walls at all of the pictures talking or following him with their eyes.

he turned lots of corners. Left, left, right, left, and then right one more time. Pretty soon he relized that he was lost. nick figured he could probably find his way back but it would take awhile. So he just decided to keep on moving on.

he kept on walking till he came to a dead end. Great he reached the other half of the school. and decided to head back for a little bit and try going a different diretion. That didn't turn out well either. he saw a window and jumped up on the window sill. and then looked outside and just enjoyed finally being here.

[Brayden Christiansen]

It's was another boring day for the second year Gryffindor, also known as Brayden. He strolled along the hallways, taking lefts, and rights, hoping that he would get lost, so he would have a little challenge to get himself back to a fimiliar place. He certainly reached his goal, he was completly lost, more so than he had ever been in the school before. He was walking down a corridor lined with hundreds of Suits of Armors. They all seemed to be watching him as he walked down the never-ending corridor, but he just washed that thought out of his mind.

Finally, the corridor ended, but sadly, it ended in fork, he could go left, or right. Being right handed, Brayden decided to choose...left, even though that had nothing to do with being right-handed. Again, there were about a million Suits of Armor, waiting to watch him as he walked. Brayden swore that he heard one move, but he kept on walking, hoping to find the Grand Staircase. At the end of the corridor he saw an open door, and it made Brayden sigh with relief, maybe it would take him to the Grand Staircase. He started to jog down the corridor, and the door got closer, closer, and yet, closer. Finally, he reached it and walked in.

The door, did not lead to the Grand Staircase. Instead, it led to another long, tiring corridor. Brayden stamped on the floor and cursed under his breath. He walked on, an angry expression across his face. Unlike the other corridors, this one had no Suits of Armor, but they did have nice, wide, glass-less windows. The breeze wafted through, and it made his hair ruffle a bit. He looked out of the windows, and saw a breath-taking view of the grounds. Knowing he would probably never find this corridor again, Brayden stood, looking out at the window, for many minutes. It just looked beautiful, the grass was bright green, and the lake set in the ground, shining in all its glory, it really paid off to learn inside a giant castle for nine months.

Pulling out of his trance, Brayden began to walk again, reluctantly, not wanting to stop looking out the window. He spotted something out on the window, and it looked alot like a human body. Good, a life-form, it felt like Brayden had been shunned from humanity these last hours as he wound his was around the empty hallways. He neared the person, who turned out to be a boy. He also seemed to be in some sort of trance as he looked out the window, just as Brayden had been only a few minutes ago.
"Best not fall. I personally think that would hurt."

[Ryan Shanks]

Nick was enjoying the beautiful gaze outside. He could see for ever and ever. Nick thought he heard something, but he didn't think about it. It was probably just the wind or something. He had been sitting there a long time. He began to worry that if he didn't try to find his way back soon that he would be lost. For good.

"Best not fall. I personally think that would hurt."

Nick turned at the sound to see a boy (who looked alot like himself actually) standing in front of his eyes. Nick said in a little laugh. "ya that would probably hurt." He jumped down from off of the window sill and looked at the boy saying."I'm Nick. First year Gryffindor. Who are you?" Finally Nick thought to himself someone to talk to.

Nick had only been here at Trios for like two days and he hadn't talked to anybody. It wasn't that he was shy or nervous or anything he just felt like keeping to himself for a while. The while had been up and he was ready to get to know the people here. He looked back out the window one last time before turnign back to the boy waiting for his reply.

[Brayden Christiansen]

The boy turned around and faced him. Strangely, this boy looked alot like him. Maybe Bryce, Brayden, and this kid were all long-lost triplets or something. The boy jumped from the wondow and landed with a little thud on the ground, and laughed a bit.
"I'm Nick. First year Gryffindor. Who are you?"

Cool, a Gryffindor, just like Brayden, so he'd probably be seeing alot of him in the Common Room from now on. Brayden smiled, and extended out his hand, waiting for Nick to shake it.
"Brayden Christiansen, Gryffindor, too. But I'm in my second year." he told the boy. Brayden hadn't seen this boy in the Common Room yet, so he probably just transferred her to Hogwarts.

[Ryan Shanks]

"Brayden Christiansen, Gryffindor, too. But I'm in my second year."

Ahh cool he met another Gryffindor! Nick smiled at the boy all of the sudden liking him alot more. "Cool so your also a Gryffindor... I would say that i think i have seen yu around the commonroom, but i haven't been there yet." Nick added in a small luagh. he didn't know why he was laughing so much todya. it was probably because he was finally here! This was the first boy he had met. Well he hadn't met a girl yet so this is basiclly the first person he had met.

"Hey I'm new here and i think I'm already lost." he said laughing. This was not a good way to start out a first day. "Do you know how to get back to the big staircase?" he added. nick had seen it once when he walked in and figured that that was where all of the commonrooms would be.

[Brayden Christiansen]

Brayden leaned against the wall as the boy told him how he had just arrived to Hogwarts. Brayden remembered when he was just a first year, beginning his journey. He felt so old, and progressed through his school work, even though he had only been there almost two school years.
"Hey I'm new here and i think I'm already lost. Do you know how to get back to the big staircase?"

Wow, he expected Brayden to know how to get to the Grand Staircase!? This place was huge, a 7th year probably didn't even know their way around the WHOLE castle.
"Haha, nope. A seventh wouldn't even be able to find their way around the whoe castle without getting lost, and I'm only a second year." he told the boy, restarting his year again.

[Ryan Shanks]

"Haha, nope. A seventh wouldn't even be able to find their way around the whoe castle without getting lost, and I'm only a second year."

Nick replied sighing. "Bunber... Do you want to try to find the way back together?" He asked looking up and down the hallway. "So which way did you come from? I forget." Nick said turnign his gaze back to Brayden. He looked out the window again. The sun was in the center of the sky. Nick tryed to turn away and looked back at Brayden again waiting for his reply.

[Brayden Christiansen]

The boy seemed upset that Brayden didn't knwo his way around here, but oh well. He leaned against the wall and looked around, trying to hear any footsteps, or a face. Sadly, Brayden and this boy were the only people in the corridor, and they both didn't know how to find the Grand Staircase.
"Bunber... Do you want to try to find the way back together? So which way did you come from? I forget."

What way did he come from, how was Brayden supposed to remember. There were about a hundred doors along the corridor, all leading to a different corridor.
"Uhmm...good question. Why don't we just pick a door and go through it, we'll have to run into someone sooner or later." he told the boy.

[Ryan Shanks]

"Uhmm...good question. Why don't we just pick a door and go through it, we'll have to run into someone sooner or later."

That was a good idea, because they both didn't know the way back why not just have fun with it. Nick loved setting off to do something that was unexpereinced. "Thats a good idea so which one do you think we should pick?" Nick asked him looking up and down the corridor at all of the tens of doors along the walls.

Nick looked at the bottom of some of the doors. In some of them you could see light at the bottom on others it was just all black. "Why don't we pick one of the ones with a light at the bottom." Nick suggested. That would narrow it down by like thirty or so.

[Brayden Christiansen]

Hmm, sounded like a good idea, although, who knows what could be at the end of the lights? You never know what could happen at Hogwarts! He walked down to a door, and looked into it. Just an empty classroom, he went to another, just and empty classroom.
"Ughh...most of these are just classrooms, there's probably only one door that actually leads somewhere. Have you found anything yet?" he asked Nick, wondering whether he had found a way to another corridor, or if he had the same luck as Brayden.

[Ryan Shanks]

Nick and Bryaden started to look into rooms along the hallway. "Ughh...most of these are just classrooms, there's probably only one door that actually leads somewhere. Have you found anything yet?" Nick nodded and sighed deeply. Most of the rooms were just empty classrooms. "Nope i haven't yet." Nick answered poening another door. "Wait! this one has a corner down at the end of the room!" Nick said excitedly. "Do you want to go sheck it out?" he asked turning towards Bryaden.
