Where Is Everyone? [open]

[mileena]

Hannah stood on her empty dorm room looking around for a moment. Leaving she made her way to the common room to find that no one was there has well. Where did everyone go? Why the heck was she here? Leaving she decided to venture out of her comfort zone. Walking the halls she noticed that most people were just hanging around the halls.

Voting against going outside she made for a place she had yet to go. Astronomy Tower. She knew it would be better to visit at night so that you could actually see the stars but she figured the view would be great. Brushing her hair over her shoulders so that it was behind her she entered the tower. Now she wasn't expecting this place to be empty has well. Then again it was close to dinner time. Walking in she looked around to make sure that she was alone. Sighing she made for the window to look out at the grounds.

Josie wasn't feeling well. She wasn't sure what it was nothing serious . . . she hoped. Just a little tummy upset and she was really really warm. She'd slept most of the day away and now she wide awake. She hadn't felt like anything to eat, not just yet and the Dorm and Common room had been unbearable stuffy and over bearing.

Grabbing a glass of Pumpkin Juice, she was unusually parched at the minute always in need of a drink, she made her way to the Astronomy Tower. She was in need of fresh air but stepping out the entrance doors had been to easy and she didn't think she could handle the winds full assault. She'd heard the tower offered a great view and it only had small windows so it wouldn't be to taxing.

Clearly she was feeling better as she had the energy to climb the god knows how many stairs to get to the tower. Stepping in to the observatory she smiled as the cool air brushed across her skin, just what she needed. She could feel her head beginning to clear already. And the view was incredible.

She noticed another girl, over by the window, she knew she was in the same house but that was about all she knew. She hoped she wasn't interrupting anything and cleared her throat softly so as not to startle her.

"Hey," She said, "I'm not interrupting you or anything am I" She asked hoping she wasn't.

Standing in silence Hannah looked out the window. She was watching groups of people that were walking around on the grounds. She wondered what was so good about the outdoors. Everything was so dirty and there were bugs everywhere! Turning has she heard a person clear their throat she saw that she was no longer alone.

Hannah was facing a girl that was vaguely familiar. She was sure that she had seen her in her classes and in the common room."Hi." she replied waving a little. "Oh, no you weren't interrupting." she informed her. "I was just looking out at the grounds. I'm Hannah." she introduced.

Josie smiled at Hannah, she had seen her around the Hufflepuff common room and they had some classes together. She was certain they were in the same year as well. She just hadn't ever gotten round to asking her her name. She had been a bit overwhelmed her first term but this term was all about fitting in and making lots of new friends.

"Hey," She said with a bright smile. Walking over to the window to look out at the grounds, "Impressive aren't they." She said with an awe like expression, "I still cant believe I get to go to school here." She said with a soft laugh. "I'm Josie." She added.

Hannah turned back to the window has the girl walked over to the window. Standing next to her she looked out on the grounds once again, nodding has Josie spoke. "I love this place." she spoke smiling has she scanned over the grounds. "It's a nice day outside too." she commented nodding a little. Has her eyes scanned over the forbidden forest she had a thought which lead to a question, of course. "Have you ever been in the forest?" she asked. Hannah had always wondered what it was like in there after dark.

[josie]

Josie nodded, it was a rather nice day, considering fall was on its way out and winter on its way in. She smiled it was like Hogwarts was a world unto itself, and normal weathering guidelines didn't apply. Or something like that. She grinned when Hannah mentioned the forest.

"Well I have been in," She replied honestly. "I wasn't there long though. One of the T.A's came along and caught me." She added laughing softly at her own dumb luck. Her first time off exploring and she had been caught. Go figure! It hadn't deterred her though just made her think of being more careful. She definitely wanted to make a return visit. How could you go to a school with a Forbidden Forest and not explore it thoroughly?

"Have you ever been in?" She asked wondering if Hannah had fared better than herself in that department, maybe she could give her some tips on how not to get caught!
