Alone in the park ( open )

[katherinekatesmith]

Katherine walked down the empty cold park listing to the tress whistle with the sky to be darker then ever . She knew she wasn't suppost to be out this late but she needed to get away from the school grounds for a while.

Katherine came to the park to re think every thing her family her inbaresing fall how would she ever get her rep up from doing that ? she wondered as she gazed at the moon she knew that only her and herself would be able to concur hogwarts thru her hogwarts life. She was a Gryffindor and she knew she needed to be strong and brave.

Katherine got up walking around thinking over things trying to remember her family and the good times she had with them only if she had known that she had a big sister at the time she would of never had to gone to the kids orphan after she lost her family and then her grandmother. Katherine started to get watery eyes so she sat back down and started to cry she knew that she wasn't liked that much so maybe she should leave hogwarts she thought , wait Katherine thought to her self aim going to have to get over not being that well liked and her sad life.

Katherine gazed back saying " i need to start a whole new life " she whispered as the trees whispered back. Katherine looked down at the ground thinking over the good moments and trying to forget the bad moments.

Why are you out when it's this dark, Che? You know they warned you about that, Che thought to himself as he trekked through the falling darkness, searching for something to do. The outdoors after dark were so wonderful to him--of course, the forest was better, but that was even more out of bounds. Which meant Che would have to go there when it was even further after the curfew, since it was such a special place.

As if rules ever made a difference to you, Che thought to himself, pulling the hood on his cloak up. This obscured all his facial features from immediate view, save for his hazel eyes and the happy expression on his lips. This was definitely a great time to be outside, despite the fact that it was bloody cold for somebody who spent their winters in San Juan.

As Che walked, he became increasingly aware that he was not the only person who would have the idea to be outside right now. Indeed, it was probably fairly common, especially considering he was in the hangout park. No, there was definitely somebody else bound to be out here. Of course, it was realizing this that kept Che from being surprised as his hazel eyes caught the presence of another first-year.

She doesn't look too happy, he thought to himself, his hazel eyes dimming slightly. He slowly approached her, carefully making sure to avoid startling her. Don't freak her out, Che, that'd be mighty stupid, he thought. As he reached her, he cleared his throat to make his presence known. "Hey, are you alright?" he asked, his strong will forcing his voice to sound as though he wanted to do something about the situation. "I'm Che," he said, extending his right hand.

Katherine looked back real quick with a scare " oh hi umm sorry i thought you were a teacher " she said wiping her tears away " Aim Katherine Smith " she said shaking his hand " well if your wondering i have no family no friends besides 1 but not really " she said in her sweet soft voice.

Katherine streamed out to tell him what happen " my family was in a fire so i have no family besides a sister i just found out about but anyways i wasn't expecting to see any one out here. Hmmm your a rebel interesting " ,she began to laugh aim just joking she said look down.

While Che normally didn't take the statement "I have no family and no friends" seriously when said in the first three minutes of knowing somebody, in this case it seemed to be the truth. Is it really possible that this girl has no friends and no family? he asked himself silently. His logical nature told him it was possible, and even though it was improbable on a general scale, in this case, and at this school, anything was possible.

Thus, he assumed that this must therefore be the truth. "I'm...terribly sorry to hear that," he remarked, his eyes shifting heavily to a muddy brown. "If it's any consolation, my family is half a world away in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and I would be glad to have a friend, even if the only meeting point is that we both need one," he offered, taking in Kate's expression. "I also haven't been here long enough to have any real friends."

Once Che had processed Kate's comment on his name, he instantly chuckled. "I wish. There's a lot of things that aren't right in this world that I wish I were old and skillful enough to fix, but at this point, the only step I've taken towards that is speaking out against the odd issue. I'm named for Che Guevara, but right now the only things I have in common with him are a name and the fact that we're both Chicano," he said calmly. Despite the fact that he was expressing disappointment with his lack of accomplishments, Che's voice had no disappointment in it--only optimism.

"Where do you come from?" Che asked, eager to shift the conversation to Kate. "Surely your place of origin says something about who you are," he added, remembering all his parents had taught him about what they thought origin meant. After all, origin was what had brought Che to Hogwarts. If he'd never lived in San Juan, he'd never have seen what he'd seen, and he might have decided to follow his father's path instead of his mother's.

Katherine looked up and siad ' please dont be sorry it wasen't your fault that my family died in a fire " but thank you " she siad softly. Katherine looked at him with sorta of a suprise that he wanted to be her friend. Katherine replyed and siad " sure i would like to be friends. " oh and by the way iam from canada. " and yes if your wondering i rode the train alway from Canda to Hogwarts ".

Katherine sat down on the bench saying " do you like being a slythern my dad siad never to talk to one but i think there pretty nice. " well that was back in my dads years of hogwarts before it closed so iam not going to listen to what he siad " she giggled some more. " What are you doing for chrismas ? " she said moving her feet around in the cold snow below her.
