Thinking about change

[tsukiyomi]

Milo sat in the moist grass of the Sunday morning. He took a deep breath and sighed, his brother would be in bed for a few more hours, it was rare to see Doru up early on the weekends. He yawned and lied down, not caring about the chill of the cold dew on his neck. Smiling lightly he looked up at the mist of the morning, “I wonder if I should try out for Quidditch.” he thought aloud to himself, “Although it would mean I’d have to work, but I’d keep me busy so I won’t get bored.” Milo put his hands behind his head and watched a few birds fly over him. “The hat said I need to ‘grow out of my destructiveness’, I wonder if that’s possible.” He clicked his tongue and thought about how to do so.

A girl walked by and heard someone talking to himself. She walked lightly to where the boy was and saw him lying in the grass. She looked around to see if any one elts was with him, but she saw none. She clutched her sketchbook to her chest, not knowing if she should talk to him or not. He seamed nice enough, but she was not sure if he would be willing to even look at her.

Milo saw a slight shadow, for what shadow could be seen this early in the morning, and sat up, looking back at the girl. “Salut.” He said, “What are you doing up so early in the morning?” he asked a smile on his face. He noticed the girl clutch a book to her chest, and tilted his head wondering if why she was acting so strangely.

The girl tensed slightly then looked at the ground, ”I’m just out on a walk.” she said, noting he said ‘Salut’ instead of ‘hello’. ”I’m Yukito,” she paused and looked at the boy, ”Your not from England are you?” she asked him, her grip lessening on her sketchbook.

Milo nodded, “Your right, I am not from here.” He answered her, “My name is Milo Raiseninînger, I came from Romania.” He said smiling lightly. “Nice to meet you Yukito.” With that Milo stood, not caring his back was now wet and cold. “Is it your first year here?” he asked.

The girl watched Milo get to his feet wondering if he was going to get chills from the dew on his back. She noted how much taller he was compared to her; he was probably over six foot tall. Yukito nodded to him, “Yah this is my first year.” She answered his question quietly.

Milo smiled, “Would you care to go to the Halloween dance with me?” he asked, his accent rather apparent when he pronounced ‘Halloween’. “You see I wanted to go but I can not seem to find a date.” He paused, “And you seem to be in need of one too.” He chimed. Milo tucked his hands into his pockets and awaited her answer.

Yukito looked shocked when he asked her to the ball. ”You honestly want to go with me?” she asked. She didn’t even know him, and he didn’t know her, but he still wanted to go with her? Sure he is cute, but still... ”You don’t even know me.” she said looking up at him.

Milo smiled once more, “Well it would be a chance to get to know you. Wouldn’t it?” he asked leaning to his left. “Besides could one date possibly do other than help you to get to know a guy? You might even like me.” A cold wind blew slightly sending a chill down Milo’s back. Now he was starting to get cold.

[zero]

Yukito looked at the ground and bit her lower lip, ”Ok.” she answered, ”I guess it couldn’t hurt.” It was the first time anyone had asked her out, even if it was just for one night at a Halloween ball. She hand always figured that it was because she was shy and didn’t really get to know any one, or they had thought she was not safe because she had no parents.

Milo’s smile broadened “This is grate!” she said, rather excited that she said yes to him. “I’ll meet you there at eighteen hundred.” He said happily, he wondered if Doru would be fine alone. “Which house are you in?” he asked her, wondering if he should meet her there.
