((Btw guys we reached 100 members! Yay!))

Calisto is waiting outside the castle doors.

ana stepped into the moonlight with her new friends. "its beautiful out here. thank you, guys." the cool air of the night softened her expression. rory grabbed her hand and grinned.

((already!? thats amazing❤️))

((funny that not only did ana make new friends i made a new friend too lol))

Calisto smiles at them. She is glancing at the doors frequently. “Have you heard from Jay?”

((😊yea))

"no, is he not out here?" rory puzzled.

“I don’t think so, and I really hoped he’d come.” Calisto smiles weakly, and peers in the front doors. “We’ll wait a little longer,”

"yeah i guess we can wait." rory peered over at ana who looked very calm. "wow its beautiful out!" ana smiled. she had a sparkle in her eye which made rory blush a bit.

Jay ran out to the grounds. "Sorry I'm late." He sounded off, but he was trying to hide it.

Calisto looked between them and smiled to herself. She looked at the sky, “yeah it is.” And then, “Jay!”

"Hey." He gave her a small smile.

Calisto looked at him with the same signature Calisto look she kept giving him, and giggled. “Your fine! Rory, Ana, lead the way!”

Calisto hung back with Jay, smiling to herself again.

((…either of you still here…))

((I am, I was just waiting for Rory to say something.))

((Ok))

“What’s up?” Calisto asks Jay. “Even though we just met I feel like we know way to much about each other.” She laughed.

"I feel the same way," he said, laughing with her. "Though there's not much to share."

“Ha. So you aren’t going to tell me why you were late?” She knew something was off, and she asked nicely. Not pressuring him.

His smile faltered a bit. "It was nothing really. Just... Well.. Freya."

“I thought so. Do you wanna talk, or no?”

"Like I said, nothing really. She's still convinced I stole a book." He shrugged. "I couldn't care less about her books."

“Yeah. Yeah, I guess. What’s your favorite color? I mean, the first question a friend asks shouldn’t be about past trauma. Too bad we kinda broke that rule..”

He laughed, "Blue."

“Lavender. It’s like spring. And my favorite food is…well, I can’t really decide. What’s yours?”

"I don't really have one either." He ran a hand through his hair. "Neither of us are very great at this friend thing, are we?"

((omg sorry!!! i just got to our hotel so im not gonna talk for a bit im so sorry))

“My only friend is Rory.” She laughed a bit.

((I have to eat dinner brb))

"Fair enough," He said.

((Okayyy.))

"wait im your only friend? im sorry about that!" rory laughed

"i mean rory WAS my only friend" ana said.

“Yeah, now I have you guys too, I guess.” ((I’m back))

"You sure do." Jay smiled at her, almost forgetting that he had been sad just 10 minutes ago.

“You know, I never asked, what year are you in?” Calisto asks, smiling as well.

"Sixth year. And you?"

“I’m in forth.” She adds.

“I think I’m the youngest here!”

He laughed. "You might be."

“Do you read?” She asked, patting her bag. It was full of large volumes. “I told you I should have been a Ravenclaw!”

"Yes, I love to read." He tilted his head, "But I think that's the only Ravenclaw-ish thing about me."

“Ah, I bet that’s not true! What about your classes? Do you like them?”

"Not really," he admitted, "except for Astronomy and Divination."

She wrinkles her nose. “Divination? I mean, it’s interesting to say the least. I love Astronomy though.” She looked up at the stars, “Atent they beautiful?”

"Yeah, they really are."

“What about Transfiguration? That’s my favorite. It’s fascinating.” She asks, still looking up. And, because she’s not paying attention, she stumbles over a large rock, but catches herself, laughing.

Jay grabbed her arm even though she'd already steadied herself. "You okay?"

“I’m good, yeah. I’m dead clumsy. What about you? I feel like I’ve talked enough about myself.” She says.

"I don't think so," he responds with a grin, "keep talking."

“Fine. I live with my dad. My mum died when I was really young. Before you feel sorry, don’t. I’ve got dad. He’s great. I don’t have any siblings. I’m a half-blood, my dad being a wizard. I do know some stories about my mom. She looked just like me, my dad says. But he would say that even if she didn’t. And I sing.” She added the last bit as an afterthought, and smiled as she said it.

"Wow." He said, feeling it was better not to mention the sadder parts of her history. "That's a lot."
