Hogwarts School For Witchcraft and Wizardry discussion

This is the wide expense of green grass infront of the castle.

Natalie: *walks briskly onto the grounds and sits on a bench near the castle, burying her head in her hands*

*Is calmly walking by with miniature fireworks on his hand when he sees Natalie. Approaches her* hey...

Natalie: *looks up, her eyes rest on the fireworks in Gus's hand rather than his face. Nods at him as of in greeting*

*sits next to her* What's your name?

Natalie: *looks at him sharply as he sits by her, then sighs* Natalie.

I've never seen you before. Are you new here?

Natalie: *shakes her head* No. I've been here all six years, you probably just didn't notice me.

*shrugs* That's a possibility... I'm Gus. 5th year Gryffindor. *smiles*

Natalie: I'm in Gryffindor too. *shrugs a little and looks at a beetle crawling up one of the bench's legs*

*looks to the sky* Nice day huh?

Natalie: *looks up to the cloudy sky* Not really. I'm expecting it to rain.

*changes subject again* Are gonna sign up for the Quidditch tryouts?

Natalie: *looks at him out of the corner of her eye* Yes, as Seeker.

Cool, I'm gonna sign up as a chaser... And Maybe captain... But that's just maybe.

Natalie: Hmm...*looks thoughtful, though it's hard to tell because she isn't looking directly at him* I might do as a Chaser...

Didn't you say seeker?

Natalie: *still without looking at him, sounds slightly irritated* Yes, but I might be good at Chaser too, is what I meant.

Oh... *shrugs* fine then.

Natalie: *for the first time looks at his face, is shocked by how much he looks like her friend who almost died. A tiny exclamation of surprise leaves her lips and her eyes widen*

*looks quickly at her* what?

Natalie: *blinks a few times and shakes her head* Nothing. You just remind me of someone I know.

Really? Who is he?

Natalie: *sighs* Just a friend, that's all. Just a friend...

Ok, I wont insist...

Natalie: *murmuring to herself, seems to have forgotten Gus* I saved his life. It was a fire gone out of control...I don't know the bastard who started it. Some boys getting crazy, I guess. He was dying, begging for mercy. I saved him...*puts her head in her hands again*

*Speechless with his mouth opened. His eyes widen*

Natalie: *with a jolt, remembers where she is and who is next to her. Looks at him sharply* You just heard all of that, didn't you?

I... Yes- I mean... I was here all the time *looks to the grass*

Natalie: *sighs deeply* Don't tell anyone, okay?

sure.

*looks to the mini fireworks* Say, huh... I'm going to the Slytherin common room *while smiling points to the fireworks* Wanna go with me?

Natalie: *looks at him curiously* What business do you have in the Slytherin Common Room?

*turns his attention to Natalie* Nothing that they don't deserve *smirks*

Natalie: *raises her eyebrows* Why, what happened?

I don't like Slytherin that's all.

Natalie: Then you shouldn't do it.

Aaron
*walks to Gus* Hey Gus. Remember, tomorrow. And you are?

Natalie: *glances at him, then rolls her eyes and turns her attention elsewhere* Natalie.

Tomorrow? Didn't you say tonight? But yeah sure. I'll meet you right here ok? *he knew she would say that. sighs* Why? It's funny.

((Aaron could you answer at the library?))

Gus*Straight edge means I'm better than you wrote: "Tomorrow? Didn't you say tonight? But yeah sure. I'll meet you right here ok? *he knew she would say that. sighs* Why? It's funny."

Natalie: No, it's stupid. *shakes her head* Why does everyone think playing jokes is funny? It's not, it makes you seem idiotic. I thought you might've been different, Gus. I guess that's what I get for thinking. *stands and walks away without another word*

*He just wants to kick his own head. "why did I have to say that?!" Runs and catches her up* Wait! I'm sorry. I- *gains courage* I won't do it. I promise.

Natalie: *looks over her shoulder at him and pauses* All right then. Do you want to go to our own common room? *smiles a little, thinking that maybe, just maybe, she was going to put down her walls when around Gus*

Sure *leaves with Natalie*

*storms on lawn*
Gah! I hate Gryffindore's! They always are screwing things up!

*runs after Alexa* Alexa! Don't you dare tell this to anyone!

Jay:
*comes out of nowhere*
Excuse me?

*to Gus*
I. Hate. You. Get. Away. From. Me.

So what? I hate Slytherin but I'll have to make sure you won't tell this to nay professor.
