~With The Fire of Goodbye~

[Roxanne Weasley]

The Great Hall is the best when your a first year. Breakfast, Lunch, dinner...food, gossip, friends, and of course all the owls flying everywhere dropping off parcels and your hopes that you might get on to prove to your friends how much your parents love you. And of course to show off that new broom you got just for a random occasion.

But not when you get the one envelope that's all red and the whole room seems to stop. The hush surrounds you and you freeze. Everyone's watching as you open it. The envelope flies out of your hand and forms a pair of lips that spit and everything as they yell at you.

Your personal business is out there for everyone to hear and your face starts to match the envelopes color. The laughter soon erupts and doesn't seem to diminish. You feel like your life is over and you rush out and don't dare to look back. Something like this can ruin you for what is, for a teenager, life.

Roxanne watched as the scene developed in front of her and felt sorry for the girl, but thanked whom ever watched over her because she really didn't need anything like that right now. She had her own problems and honestly didn't care that much about the girl who just ran out of the Great Hall with no one chasing after her.

Roxanne stared into her half full goblet and slightly turned green. Her stomach had been acting up lately even the talk of food made her want to vomit let alone eating it. but she took a sip anyways and put the goblet down. She nearly gagged on juice but it was better then nothing at all.

She got up from the bench and strolled out of the room looking all around with no clue where to go. Outside was kinda bleak but she really didn't want to deal with people. Her personality was changing drastically lately and the funny thing about it was no one was noticing.

She pushed open the door and walked out into the mist. It was cooling to the heat of yesterday. It was a light mist but you still couldn't see the ground and quite incidentally tripped over a root from a tree as she made her way to the bank of the lake.

The small clouds rolling off the lake were magnificently slow and seemed as if it would never end. She pulled her hoodie tighter and got a book from her bag. She had just started reading Twilight which seemed to be a good muggle book minus the cliches about vampires.

She loved books, especially muggle books because you had to use your imagination and didn't have those pictures constantly moving distracting you from the plot line.

She had just sat down near the base of a big Oak tree when she heard a twig snap. jumping was her first instinct, putting her hand on her wand the second and calling out came in third. "H-h-hello? Anyone there?" When no reply came she sat back down and reassured herself that it was a big animal making noise. That and she had just got to the part where the stupid muggle decided to face the big bad vampire by herself, can you say damsel in distress, Edward to the rescue coming up?

Another snap of a twig. This time Roxanne threw her book down jumped up and yanked her wand out. "If you don't answer me now I swear I'll make you my freaking puppet and dangle you from the roof tops only to let go. You got that?! Now show your self dammit!"

She was beyond pissed. Not only had she had a bad day but this asshole decided to disrupt her twice during her book the second being at a really really good part. Girl reading book with wand, don't make her mad, it's common sence everyone knows that. But some people just don't learn. She'll teach them a lesson though. Just wait for them to come out.

[Tiraynan Gouche]

What would you do if you got a letter from your stepmother, who hated your guts? Would you rip it up or actually read it through to find out what the hell she wanted? Tiraynan's first instinct was to rip it up, but curiosity took control and she opened it, reading the long letter from her hated stepmother, Lea. She was surprised she didn't get one of those red letter where they literally come to life and yell at you in a high-pitched, angry voice, spitting pieces of paper at you and sticking out its red ribbon tongue before tearing itself up like an angry child ripping up a random piece of paper. Every year Ray got one of those, and it was always from someone in her family, but so far this year, she hadn't gotten one.
She was used to the laughing stares from other kids when she got one of those and no one laughed at her when the deed was done, probably because they all knew her older brother would beat the shit out of them if they made any move to. Or maybe they just didn't want to.

The letter was clearly an attempt to apologize to Ray. Even without her stepmother's high-pitched and crazy voice, you knew that her apology for what she had done, was fake and once the teen had finished reading it, she ripped it up into small pieces and dropped them to the floor, using her wand to make them disappear. There, now all evidence of it ever being here, was gone.
Now she was in a shitty mood.
Standing and slipping on her robe, she made her way downstairs and outside. There were many different places she could go, but the one she felt like going to was the lake. She knew a long way there, so hopefully she could gather her thoughts on the way.

Clutching her book bag, which she had grabbed on her way out, she felt the anger rising up within her. But she needed to calm down, not get even more angry, so with a few deep breaths, she was able to lower her temper. By then, the glittering lake came into her view and she slowed her pace down. Making sure her wand was in place, she looked at the shiny lake, not realizing she had stepped on a branch until the sharp crack had filled her ears. She didn't really care, that is, until she heard the voice of someone else over here. With wide eyes, Tiraynan slipped behind a tree, hiding herself. She wasn't in the mood to run across anyone else today, she was hoping to be alone for the rest of the night. That just showed how wrong she was.

A few moments later, she was getting ready to leave the area when she stepped on, yet again, another branch. Her damned feet were just everywhere today, weren't they? This time, the other person, clearly a female, sounded really pissed and with a sigh, Tiraynan made her way into view of the other student. "Just chill, I don't mean any harm...at least not today." Wow, that wasn't something that ever came out of a Slytherin's mouth, but Ray didn't care. She stared down at her converses, her arms limp at her sides as she didn't even make an attempt to draw out her wand. No, she wasn't in the mood to cause any trouble either. This was not normal behavior for her, everyone knew that.
It took a few moments for Ray to notice the student's book. "What book is that?" She dared to ask, lowering her book bag to the ground, which really only held one book, a book of poetry, go figure. But she was curious as to what the book was, she probably hadn't read it, yet at least. She may be troublesome, but she still found time to read a book or two.

[Roxanne Weasley]

She came out from around the tree surrounded by mist. If Roxanne had a camera she would take a picture. It was really pretty, minus the fact that it was a slytherin.Roxanne stared at the girl for a minute. She was confused, a slytherin that didn't mean harm are you serious? No way it had to be a trick. But the body language and the vibes coming off her seemed different. This could be serious, for once. She lowered her wand and looked at her book.

A quizzical look came over Roxanne's face for a second before she replied to the question."Twilight, why?" She was genuinely curious as to why this girl wanted to know what she was reading. The fact that they were both out here was weird enough and now small talk. What could this be? Roxanne decided it was better then fighting, put her wand away and grabbed the book handing it to the girl. "Roxanne." A sheepish smile came over her face. According to the rules this was so breaking them.


[[sorry it's ungodly short]]

[Tiraynan Gouche]

Tiraynan looked over at the other student, a Gryffindor. Oh well, she didn't really care who she was talking to right at the moment. "Is it good?" She nodded to the book again. It was weird enough for her to be near a Gryffindor and now she was making small talk. Wow, was she sick? "Because I was hoping to find a book to read this week." She replied, trying to smile but failing at her attempt. "This is weird. I'm not feeling myself and now I'm talking to a Gryffindor. She chuckled slightly, taking Twilight, the book Ray had been talking about, from Roxanne and studying it. I'm Tiraynan." This time she was able to smile slightly, handing the book back to Roxanne

"So, uh, what are you doing over here?" If these two were ever caught by another student, they'd surely be ruined. The Gryffindor and Slytherin houses were complete enemies, so being seen talking, nicely, to a Gryffindor, would surely ruin you. But at the moment, she didn't care.

Mine sucks too, no worries. DX

[Roxanne Weasley]

Slytherins read? No way I thought they were all dumb asses who liked to make fools of themselves. huh proves me wrong."

[/i]The little voice in Roxanne's head had to be a slytherin yet still hate them because the things it says are far from Gryffindor. Roxanne felt like slapping herself for even thinking it. But this was a peaceful meeting, rare as it was, and she decided it was for the best if she didn't start anything that would put Tiraynan back into a normal mood.

"uh yeah it's actually one of the best I've read so far. I have like two chapters to go, did you...uh...want to borrow it?[b/] Roxanne took the book from her and fiddled with it. She had always fiddled when she was nervous it was one of her many quirks. She looked up because she knew it was rude to not look at the person you were talking to and she didn't want to be caught off guard.

Yeah I wasn't feeling all myself either, it was one of the reasons I came out here, that and everyone and everything in that school made me nauseous, so I though some fresh air, peace, and quiet was all I needed. Well and to curl up with a good book. Did you know there's like five others and they're even better then...." Roxanne stopped herself, she was rambling and, which is even stranger, getting excited talking about the book to some one she didn't know or wasn't supposed to like.

Roxanne blushed and looked out at the lake. It was still misting and you could just see the sun on the horizon. It was beautiful. to good for words even. And she was spending it with a slytherin. How strange was this. But she felt comfortable with this girl, even stranger felt like she had known her for years. She felt like some one Roxanne could open up to and tell all her secrets. But it was only an illusion, this could never work, if anyone found out about them even thinking about being friends all would be lost. Roxanne's family probably wouldn't even talk to her again let alone her friends. And she would be a laughing stalk at school. It would probably be worse for Tiraynan though.[/size][/color][/left]
