soundless sleeping [amanda]

It had come to his attention that Amanda Larson was no longer his buddy. Nevertheless, it did not mean they could not see each other again. It was earlier that afternoon that Little Alexander had decided to write to her for them to meet somewhere, sometime today. It had been the marvellous Rose Petal Lane which he had decided. It was a beautiful place, and a chance for them to have a conversation overlooking the roses of many colours.

A smile played upon his lips. He sat gazing at a wonderful range of red roses. A giggle escaping his mouth at how beautiful they were. Funny how Alex could resemble a girl sometimes, but it didn't bother him. This was how he was - he wouldn't change for anybody. Not even for another than loved him. Never.

It was quite the unexpected surprise to hear word from Alexander and to meet him down at Rose Petal Lane, but Amanda did want to know her buddy from last term a bit more since they didn't get the full chance to do so. Plus he seemed like one cool cat to hang out with and Amanda surely needed someone to talk to other than the wall in her dorm.

So she dressed into something more casual than her Hufflepuff uniform, just a pair of faded jeans and a black sweater, and left the common room. She headed through the halls and descended flights of stairs until she finally reached the first floor to head out the door. Amanda slipped through the doors and stopped at the stoop, glancing down the lane.

There, her sapphire orbs fixed on the familiar figure and a smile grew widely across her pale pink lips. She left the stoop and headed down the lane, not too far, and finally approached Alexander. "Hello there buddy," she giggled. Sure, he was her ex-buddy, but that didn't mean she could still call him a buddy. "How've you been? And how did break go for you?"

((OOC: lol that's alright. I didn't do any better.))

The sound of Buddy arose questions within his mind. Was Amanda calling him so? A chuckle sparked, Alexander more than happy to see the face of Missus Larson again. Amanda was an amazing person. Quidditch Captain of the Hufflepuff Team - he was proud of her, even though he had only seen her once or twice. "Hewo Amanda," a childish voice escaping his mouth. She would be in her Sixth Year now? Or was it her Seventh? He shrugged. Alex would find out soon enough of course,

"I've been amazing, thankyou. Met a bunch of new people and what-not. And Break was fantastic. Loved it," he beamed. "And you Amanda? How are you? Have a good Break yourself?" Alex had quite hoped to have seen her in the Break, but sadly that did not happen. He'd felt alone for part of it, until meeting an old friend. Mandy Littrell, Hufflepuff Girl. They'd known each other since their childhood which made it all the better. It even happened that he got to see her beautiful house again - since he had made an surprise visit to it for the last two days of term change.

"That's fantastical to hear Alexander!" She smiled, quite content that he's becoming a social butterfly himself. Then again, what first year isn't? Amanda surely turned a one-eighty her second year and was the chatter among the group. However, those days she had a writing job that required her to be more socialable to get the juicy gossip.

"I've been good actually. Signed up for classes and I'm syked for World of Literature. Charms started way too early, but I feel that Professor Slughorn, Horace that is, just wants to torture us. At least his wife is more entertaining," she giggled. "My break was awesome. I went to spend some time with my parents in London and then more with my friend Holden and my cousin Marissa who's a student here too."

Amanda was quite thrilled for this term and looked forward to it. She had very high hopes, including quidditch, but more for the upcoming holidays as well. She remembered faintly of the Halloween ball last year, but attended with a friend she has long lost since. "So is there any good news for you this term? Classes you look forward to? A certain date for the dance? A costume in mind?"

[alexander2007]

It was quite 'fantastical' to hear. He loved the word she had chosen to use their, quite creative really. Alex had been more or less everywhere to meet people. Even snuck out of the common room at night too, in hope of meeting someone. He had done. It was amazing really, he adored the people he had made friends with. Amazing honestly.

"World of Literature, hey? Sounds interesting." He wouldn't have signed up for it, as he quite believed he was taking too many classes already. There were all the mandatory ones, plus a couple optional. He needed a break sometimes. Perhaps once he became used to the whole scheldule [likely next term], he would be able to handle more classes. It would be nice to experience some of the others like Divination or WOL. A perfect idea really. Pushing the ideas to the back of his mind, he chuckled as she spoke of Charms. "I haven't had a Charms Class yet, but I hope it's soon. And Professor Slughorn, I've never had him before - but I've heard he is really strict. Is that true?" He hoped not.

"Glad you had a good break also. Holden Caulfield right? I met him when I first came here."

Alexander chuckled softly, It was funny how close the dance was. It seemed like he had signed up for it only today, but it was actually not that far away now. Wow, he was actually really looking forward to it. "I'm really looking forward to Flying Class and Defence Against the Dark Arts. As for the dance, I'm taking a good friend of mine - Mandy Littrell. How about you?" He might even get to see her there. "But the costume? Hmm. Haven't thought yet ..."

[amandalarsen]

"Oh but it has to be interesting. There is no other class that has anything to do with literature. Plus, it's taught by my Head of House, Professor Anya Slughorn," she beamed brightly in thought. Amanda never really met the professor in person, nor talked to her, so this would be the first in the past five terms she has been at this school. Pathetic ain't it?

Amanda nods her head to his question about Professor H. Slughorn. "Oh yes, Professy Sluggy is very strict. Seriously, he's like the opposite of Professor Slughorn, well Anya, formerly Lupin I hear. He used to teach potions. Don't know why he's changed in profession though. I gues he's the jack of all trades," her eyes roll though a slight giggle passes through her lips.

Obviously Amanda wasn't very fond of Horace. It's very rare that she disliked a teacher so much, but so far her favorite was Professor Linn and hopefully Professor Anya Slughorn. Her attention to Alexander resumed with the mention of Holden. "Yes, him. You have? This must be embarrassing for me to share, but Holden and I have met formally last term."

"We've been on the Quidditch team together since my second year when I finally joined. However, we never spoke until I became captain," she replied quite contemplatively. Again, why hadn't she talked to Holden before? Why was she so distant to others besides Alessa and Nathaniel? Well at least she was able to break out of her shell and meet newer people now, especially in her past few terms.

"Oh both classes are awesome, especially flying," she grinned. Who would pass up flying anyway? Amanda was impressed to hear that Alexander has a date for the dance. As for herself, she shrugged her shoulders. "I actually don't have a date as of yet. But if I don't get one by the time the dance starts, I'll probably go along with a group of friends. However, my costume is... I'm not really sure."

Amanda now had a to-do list. Get a date would be the first, then get a costume, and lastly she needed to really finish her homework later one. "So, what part did you like best during your break? Did you stay here the whole time? Or visit any family and friends from home?"
