Sending a letter... [Elizabeth]

[gabriella]

Gabriella sighed as she made her way up the many stairs towards the owlery, not wanting to go there but her father insisted on her sending him a letter at least once a week and so far she hadn't so she thought she had better got on it before he sent her some sort of Howler... she didn't want that to happen. Tucking a few pieces of her hair behind her ear she continued to climb up to the tower, her footsteps making loud noises as she walked on the concrete steps.

Opening the owlery door she walked inside and found some parchment and a quill, which they supplied there and started to think about what to write. Even if she did write about her time here it would be a little pointless as she knew her father really didn't care about those small facts of making friends and whatnot. He only told her to write letters so then he would actually look like a father who cared when in all actuallity he didn't. Twirling the quill around her fingers she continued to think about what to write as she then looked around for a second, realizing that she was alone... well except for the many owls staring at her, which she had to admit freaked her out a bit.

Elizabeth walked into the Owlery, parchment in hand. She was sneidng a letter to her brother in Durmstrang. Even though she hated her foster parents, Elizabeth found it hard to hate her older brother. They were so much alike. He never treated her like she was adopted, unlike her parents who always thought she needed special treatment. As she continued her walk up the stairs, she felt her parchment fall from her grasp, as it floated gently to the ground. With a sigh she bet down and picked it up, her hair falling around her face and in her eyes. She tucked the parchment into the pocket in her robes and made her way through the door.

As she entered the Owlery, Elizabeth went straight to her owl Terry. Terry had been a gift from Jhon, her brother, when Elizabeth had turned 11, her first year of hogwarts. As she took her owl to the window, she noticed she wasn't alone. Her eyes had slowly landed on the face of Gabriella Harris, her long time friend. "Hey Gabby." She said, turning back to her owl and letter.

Gabriella continued to twril the quill around her fingers as she thoguht about what to write, yes she wanted to incluide detail but if she mentioned anything about Max, Gabriella knew that her father would probably take her out of Hogwarts. Max. She smiled as she thought about him, they were going to the Halloween dance together and she was all excited about it. She couldn't wait. And they had kissed the other night in the pumpkin patch... well more like he had kissed her only becuase Gabriella dared him too but she was glad that she had, even though the dare was accidental.

Breaking from ehr thoguhts as she heard a familiar voice, Gabriella continued to smile as she saw her long time friend Elizabeth... or as Gabby liked to call her Liz. "Hey Liz," Gabriella said with that same smile as she put her quill down and looked questioningly at her friend. "What brings you here?" she asked curiously, raising an eyebrow slightly.

[elizabeth]

"Jhon." She replied simply. She turned her attemtion back to the owl infront of her and held her hand out the window, allowing him to soar free. With a sigh Elizabeth watched her bird fly away until it was a mere dot in the sky. Slowly Elizabeth turned around, her elbows against the frame of the window, as she leaned backwards. "You remember Jhon don't you? He goes to Durmstrang..." She added hesitantly. "What about yourself? Usual letters to the father?" She assumed knowingly.

With a raised eyebrow Elizabeth looked around the tower. Everywhere she looked there was straw and owl droppings, not the most pleasant setting. She crinkled her nose and returned her gaze to Gabby. The smart brunette never seemed to bore Elizabeth. They had been friends for a long time now, and Elizabeth had promised to never change that. Even though they were in different houses,Elizabeth could care less. The two were very much alike, even if different traits stuck out moe in the other. "So how you finding it so far? I think this school is awfully boring." She sneered.

Gabriella nodded knowingly about Jhon... well she knew somewhat about him. Elizabeth had told her more than a few things about him seeing as they were quite close friends and all and they pretty much told eachother everything. "Yeah, I remember him," Gabriella replied, trying to think of something... anything to write at all... she didn't want to get completely off topic with Elizabeth and then totally forget about the letter. Or did she? Thinking for a second she layed the quill down she looked over at her friend. "Yeah," she replied. "I really hate writing these letters. I'm not even sure if my dad reads them or just looks at the address and then throws them away but I'm guessing the second one," she finished as she blew some hair out of her eyes.

"I don't find the school boring at all I actually find it really fun I've made a bunch of new friends and I've met this guy Max and the halloween dance is coming up and I'm rambling on," Gabriella said all in breath as she then stopped and laughed, catching her breath. "Sorry... there's just so much to tell you cause I haven't seen you in forever!" she exclaimed as she took another deep breath. She was glad that Elizabeth had come up when she did, she hadn't seen the Slytherin in what seemed like ages and they always seemed to have tons of fun.
