Missing You (AnnaSophia)

[emmawinters]

Emma was seated in one of the big comfy chairs, her leg draped casually over its side. She was twirling a lock of her long brown hair, thinking about school and all of her friends. As she was watching the fire, a thought of AnnaSophia popped into her head. She hadn't seen her best friend in awhile and she was missing her.

[jazziojazzio]

AnnaSophia was giggling on her way into the Quality Quarters. Outside, she was having this huge conversation to some of those fog creatures she created and they had agreed to stay in their 'lair' during the dance so that it wouldn't be all foggy the time it came around. Hopefully they accepted her rose when she had given it to them. Sure, it wasn't half a dozen, but she was sneaky and had told them that it was really one twelfth of a dozen, and it had the word dozen in it, so she was home free. They better stand by their word.

As she walked in, her hair all staticy under her hat which she didn't remove, she spotted an old friend. Or a friend who she hadn't seen in a while. She skipped merrily over to the fire and grinned, "So, what coloured socks are you wearing today?" she asked, smiling with her twinkling eyes.

[emmawinters]

Emma laughed, surprised that Anna remembered her craze of mismatched socks. She pulled up her robes, "Let's see, I have my moose sock on and then my candy striped one. It's a good mismatch."

[jazziojazzio]

She laughed, "Not bad... I'd say that's a great mismatch." she grinned and lifted her jeans, "Like mine?" she asked, giggling at her solid red and blue socks. "Nothing too confusing, but to be honest... I woke up a little late for my breakfast with a friend and I didn't really pay attention to what I was putting on." she smirked.

[emmawinters]

Emma laughed. "Oh well!" she settled down and then turned to her friend. "So how's the year been for you? Oh!" she suddenly remembered a question she had been wanting to ask. "Do you have a date?!"

[jazziojazzio]

"It's been going well, thanks. Just a few classes here and there... I already have homework for my World of Literature class... I need to find a poem." she sighed, "I honestly don't know who I like best. All the poets I know are great." she shook her head, grinning. "Oh well. What about you?"

"Yeah.... I have a date... why?" she asked curiously, arching her brow.

[emmawinters]

Emma shrugged. "I was just wondering. I'm going to the dance thingy with Gerard Turner, but strictly as friends, that was our agreement. I guess I just wanted to know if I'd see you there or not, that's all."

[jazziojazzio]

"Well, either way you'd see me there. This is my very first dance. I've never been to one before..." she said eagerly, "I'm going with a Gryffindor... first year... Jarod LaCroux...? Do you know him at all?" she asked smiling, "He's just a friend. Nothing more. I made sure of that." she smirked.

[emmawinters]

Emma smiled. "I've heard of him, don't think I've actually met him though." She hugged her knees. "I can't wait 'til the dance!! It'll be my first one too!!"

[jazziojazzio]

Anna bit her lip, "I can't say I'm excited. I mean, it'll be interesting. Probably even a little fun... but I can't say I'm looking forward to it." she smiled crookedly, "I mean, from everything I've heard and all... it's just music with a lot of people. I personally prefer listening to music with a really good friend, guy or girl..." she shrugged. "Everyone else is somewhat an accessory. Not necessary. In this case, all of Hogwarts except for him then. Since we're going together, but it honestly means nothing but that. Music, people, moments." she said, sighing as she realized how cheesy that sounded.

[emmawinters]

Emma raised an eyebrow. "I may not be the smartest wizard or witch but can you repeat that in simpler terms? My brain's a little fried at the moment, sorry," embarassed, she blushed and tried to think of somethine else to say.

[jazziojazzio]

AnnaSophia wasn't one to make sense, usually when she spoke, her sentences came out all confusing and... scrambled. It wasn't a really good habit, but that's kind of out it turned out. She fiddled with her hair a little and the buttons on her hat before finally shrugging, "People go with people as accessories unless they really care about eachother. I don't know what to think about dances. They're all so extraordinary... but in different ways." she shrugged.

"Let's leave it at I have no idea what to say. It's easier." she chuckled.

[emmawinters]

Emma laughed along, though this time she understood it a little more...sort of. "I...forgot what I was going to say," she grinned sheepishlly. "Oh yeah! Black out there for a moment, are you Muggleborn?"

[jazziojazzio]

"Muggleborn?" she smirked, "Yeah, yeah. I always thought witches and wizards were kind of.. make believe. It shocked me when I found out they were real. Then again, my parents weren't too thrilled, but me..." she sighed wistfully, remembering the run-away-from-home incident. "I had to run away to go. I ran from Oxford to London... I had their money of course, but yeah. I went and it turns out I got a chance to meet my Uncle in Diagon Alley. He'd been waiting for me and we opened me up a Gringotts account." she clapped her hands.

"It was all really happening. I was a witch." Anna said, giggling. She obviously didn't know that she wasn't 100% muggleborn... we'll just have to see if she'll ever find out.

[emmawinters]

"Me too," Emma said. "I thought magic was pretend and that witches and wizards were all bad, but then I came here. And it's actually been a lot of fun!!"

[jazziojazzio]

"And now we're here..." she said wistfully, "It feels great to get away from that stupid fantasy when I'm living it." she said, laughing, "Imagine... if I had friends back home and I came back during the summer break, and told them everything... they'd be so jealous! I'm living the dream." she smiled, "Hogwarts is everything I had hoped for. Even more." she smiled, resting her head on her hand.

[emmawinters]

Emma nodded, agreeing completely. She drew a box of Hershey chocolate out of her robes and took a chunk out of it. "Want some?" she asked, mouth slightly full.

[jazziojazzio]

Anna stifled a laugh and quickly glanced at her laugh, at a loss for words. She quickly stole a glance at her friend and saw her with some familiar sort of... chocolate bar? "Do they-" but she was interrupted by Emma, offering her a piece of Hershey's chocolate. No wonder it seemed familiar! "Yeah! I didn't know they had them here... I didn't know that they sold muggle sweets in Hogsmade or... Diagon Alley..." she chuckled.

[emmawinters]

Emma smiled, mischief in her eye. "They don't," she said secretively. Her grin widened as she saw the shock look on her best friends face. She couldn't help but chuckle.

[jazziojazzio]

"Oh?" AnnaSophia arched her brow, confused and yet curious. Then how could she have muggle chocolate with her, even if she's kind of... been here for an extremley long time and if she had brought chocolate during break it would have gone bad by now.... wait- what? Anna was just confusing herself now. She quickly took a quick mental breath and ran through it again. She didn't get this chocolate from break because then it would have gone bad by now then. So... then... by owl?

"Did your parents send you some?" she asked, cocking her head and tucking some hair behind her ear, "Because I doubt you got it during break, it would have gone bad by now." she laughed, her eyes lighting up brilliantly.
