Hawaii (Girlies!/Open)

[sophieann]

Whilst Trio's and its surroundings were undoubtedly beautiful, it could certainly get a bit bleak in winter. The grey days, frequently punctuated by rain, and occasionally by the odd ray of sunshine, could really start to get to you if you let them. However, there was an alternative.

Strolling through the corridors of Trio's, her bathing costume (red, two-piece) concealed beneath a plain white t-shirt and a sky blue sarong covered with images of brilliantly-coloured fish, Sophie-Ann kept her eyes peeled for the concealed entrance to the recently-discovered wandering room, which she had read about in the latest updated edition of Trio's Hogwarts: A History.

As she walked, Sophie-Ann kept promising herself, inside her head, that she would not attempt to stay too long within the Room, as she was fully aware of its secret perils.

Reaching the spot at which the room was reputed to be located, Soph let out a small squeal of delight at the ease with which she spotted the door. Foxworthy had expected it to be much more, well, hidden, but the surprise was definitely a pleasant one.

Closing her eyes tightly, Soph pushed the door open, and immediately felt the reassuring sensation of warm sand beneath her bare feet. She opened her eyelids, and gloried in the scene that stood before her.

Sophie-Ann stood on a deserted beach, somewhere in the Hawaiian Islands. About thirty feet in front of her, a perfect, azure blue ocean lapped gently against the edge of the sand, leaving a small dark patch as it receded. In the absence of any artificial noise, Soph could make out the distinct cries of three or four different exotic birds. And yes, the sun shone down on her as brightly as one could ever desire.

Sophie-Ann removed her shades from the middle of her beach towel, and placed them over her eyes. She unrolled the big, fluffy rectangular towel with the Hello Kitty logo in the middle, and set it down on the sand in front of her, then began to peel off her outer clothes, as she wondered how long it would take the others to find this wonderful, wonderful place.

Just then the door opened and a very frazzled Emma stormed in. She stopped short as she first felt the sun, and then saw it. The tall stack of books in her hands dropped to the floor, or should I say---sandy beach, while the door closed quietly behind her.

"Holy carbs," she muttered, taking in the breath-taking scene. Her frustration melted away under the intense heat of the sun as her jaw dropped even lower. She saw Sophie-Ann slightly further down on the beach and she made her way towards her, stumbling occasionally.

"Wow...this is something else!" she said, still shocked. "I mean...I got lost in the castle and thought that I was entering...I can't even remember anymore!" She walked slowly in circles, trying to take it all in at once. Taking her wand out of her pocket, she stacked up the books that she had dropped and put them off to the side.

"It's a good thing I was planning on going swimming this afternoon!" she said brightly, taking off shoes and socks. She saw Sophie's shocked face and laughed. "Yes, I enjoy swimming in the cold, it wakes me up. But I would take this over an iceburg any day!" She quickly took off her robes, to reveal a simple white two-piece bathing suit.

But something was bothering her. She turned to Sophie, puzzlement in her eyes. "How did you find this place?" she asked, rather confused. "I mean, it looks like you were planning on coming."

[sophieann]

"Yes, I was planning on coming, didn't you get my note?" Sophie-Ann said, a huge grin on her face at the serendipity of Emma obviously not finding out about the plan, but ending up here anyway. Weird and wonderful stuff like that seemed to happen around here all the time. "I read about this place in Trio's- A History. It's my little idea to combat the seasonal blues- find a stonking great beach, and go lie on it till I'm not worried any more." She winked.

Sophie-Ann, in truth, was a natural worrier, and she had a fair bit to worry about. The transition from the muggle world to the magical one was never easy, and combining it with finding out that your Dad's death had been murder, and having to break up a long-term relationship- well, it had been the kind of few weeks that would mess with anyone's head.

To be honest, Soph was kinda surprised at how little she thought about Michael now- how little chance she got. That, of course, meant that when she did, she kinda felt guilty about not doing so more. It was bizarre, she reflected, given that they had been really quite a serious item, she'd just been too busy to miss him.

But that was enough navel-gazing for one afternoon, Sophie-Ann thought. She had company. "So how was the ball?" Soph asked, her voice sounding slightly squeakier than usual with the excitement. Sophie-Ann had seen Emma since Halloween in classes of course- but that was hardly the venue for a proper girlie chat. And even if Soph hadn't really felt like showing up to a ball with some guy she barely knew, it didn't mean she wasn't keen to get her hands on all the goss.

Faye looked in the mirror. Perfect. Her hair was done up in a bun-like style with strands spouting over the bun. She put on a little eyeliner out of habit and admired her new swimsuit- a black bikini with light blue trimming and a light blue heart on each side of the top and a heart on the bottom to match. Her parents sent it to her in case she foudn a use for it. At first she thought it was stupid, and then she heard of a room that would be just perfect for it. Faye's mind wandered for a moment as she wondered if Sev would like it. After blushing at the thought, she grabbed a book and headed down to the room.

When she reached the room,. she soptted a few familiar faces. With a grin, she sat down next to them. "Hey guys!" she said, getting situated. "How are your classes going so far?" she asked, looking over at them with a smile.

[eveeee]

Evee skipped along looking for the wondering room. She wondered a while until she finally found it. She entered and looked around. "Oh Wow" she said out loud while looking around. She looked down at her feet. Sand there was SAND. This was so cool, i should come here more often Evee thought to herself as she walked through the sand.

She got up to where all the other girls where. "Hey" sh e said waving a bit. "Sophia-Ann this is so cool" she said still looking around. Evelyn looked to the too girls she was pretty sure she never met them before. "Evelyn Harper nice too meet you both" she said with a small smile.


{{Sucky post sorry}}

[sophieann]

"Hiya girls!" said Sophie, delighted to see Faye and Evee show up here. "My classes are OK, thanks Faye- some more so than others, I think! I haven't got a clue where to start with History of Magic though- I swear, the teacher could tell me that magic was invented by a talking sheep named Norman, and I'd probably believe it."

Sophie-Ann rolled her eyes in a comically exagerrated manner, before remembering that she had shades on, so the effect would be completely lost on the other girls. Blushing slightly, Sophie-Ann changed the subject in a hurry.

"I was just asking Emma here about the ball. Did you two end up going?" Soph asked, still curious about whether the big halloween event had been any good.

[emmawinters]

Emma waved at the other girls who had joined them and then turned back to Sophie. "It was good," she said, referring to the ball. "I danced with Gerard Turner for awhile, but we went as only friends, so he eventually went off to dance with someone else. There were a few guys that I talked to, I also danced with Gerard Iero, that was fun. My costume was great, I was an angel." She shrugged. "That's it really."

[Mimi Suicide]

Mimi was invited by Evee to go to some place to meet her. Mimi did not know where exactly the place is so it took her a long time to find it. Mimi searched and searched and she even got lost in the halls. But how could someone know that they are lost when they don't really know where they were going or what place they were heading to? Who knows. That's something that Mimi could no answer.

Mimi looked around the halls and notice something weird about some random door and Mimi decided that she would just enter the door or something and hopefully if she doesn't find Evee after an hour, she would just do some exploring or something.

When Mimi entered the place, she was surprised to see how many people were there. Who invited them? Evee? Evee is holding another party? Wow. Mimi is surprised or is it like someone invited Evee and Evee just invited her? Mimi isn't so sure because she didn't get the main source or anything. Maybe Evee would tell her later or something?

"Hiya!" Mimi said to all the people there in the room. Do they know each other? Probably they do and Mimi doesn't even know half the people there. She only knew Evee and it would be just awkward being a place where the people there have never met you and you feel like a party crasher or something but the only thing is, your not having fun, at least not yet.

Faye nodded, sweeping back a strand of loose hair. She gave a shy smile as she talked, cheeks flushing slightly at the memory. "I went with Sev. I had so much fun. He's awesome, I'm glad I went." she replied, cheeks getting slightly pinker. As another girl came over, she smiled and waved, glad for the distraction of her growing embarassment. "Hey! Join the party!" she grinned.

[[Sucky, sorry. x.x]]
