It was a cloudy september day. Howgarts was slowly starting to look like fall, with crushed leaves everywhere and damped stoned. Students were chatting, excited by the end of the day's classes. Elena just got out of her Defense Against the Dark Arts, one of her favourite subjects. She rushed to her dorm, eager to loose her robes and put on something more comfortable. She grabbed the first clothes she found, only thinking about the book she needed to finish.

I have only a few hundred pages left to read, I should finish it befor dinner.

She grabbed her "Dragon Species of Great Britain and Ireland", put it in her bag, grabbed a few mars, and rushed downstairs. Chewing on one chocolated bar, she avoided last minute bumping into other students. She decided last minute to change routes, going through the courtyard instead. As she hurried, she spotted a familiar face. A blonde girl with wavy hair was leaning against a large oak, eyes closed. The sun's ray were gently reflecting on her face.

Elena smiled, recognising her friend Kenzie. She hesitated to join her, not wanting to disturb her. She started turning around, before changing her mind and walk up to her. Not knowing if she was sleeping or not, she carefully sat on one side of the blanket, leaning agaisnt the tree. She pulled her books out, and started where she had stopped last time.

Finally! Classes were over, time to relax. Even with her big workload, Eugenia always managed to juggle well between schoolwork and fun. Now, the History of Magic notes, notes from a class that was kind of boring, the way the professor spoke, were fresh on her mind, but she wasn’t eager to study. She was instead heading towards the Courtyard of the school, yearning for some peace and quiet.

Indeed, the Courtyard was quite the quiet place. There were very few people and it was the perfect place to relax. Wow, this is such a nice opportunity! I feel so refreshed! The chilly autumn air was blowing from the direction of the Forbidden Forest and Eugenia shivered. Σεπτέμβριο μήνα δεν έχει τέτοια κρύo στην Ελλάδα. Για δες! Meaning: On September, it is not so cold in Greece. Wow!It might have been her second year at Hogwarts, but she was still not used to such a temperature change from Greece, where she always spent her holidays.

Eugenia looked around. Underneath a giant oak tree she saw two familiar faces. One of them was Elena and the other was Kenzie. I saw Kenzie during History of Magic, we had a joint class. Shame I couldn’t greet her earlier, I had to go to the Library! Kenzie seemed to be asleep or meditating, while Elena read a book called Dragon Species of Great Britain and Ireland, a book Eugenia had read before and could recognise just from the cover. They were both sitting on a blanket on the ground. Eugenia, being very excited, walked over to them.

She waved hello to Elena, who had just looked up. Then, she sliced her bag carefully off her shoulder and sat down on the other edge of the blanket. She smiled softly and made herself comfortable, trying not to disturb Kenzie at any cost. She brought her face close to Elena and whispered quietly. “Hi Elena! How are you? Is Kenzie asleep, or is it just me who thinks so?”

Ehsilat was disturbingly chipper this morning, having finally become a second year and winning the house cup.
She had just finished her potion lesson and was walking around the school with no specific purpose other than to kill time.
Ehsilat thought being in second year at Hogwarts would be better than her first, and that she would finally have the ability to keep track of all the things she needed to do. However, the excess homework and harder classes might prove that difficult for her.
As Ehsilat walked aimlessly through the school, she crossed by the courtyard where she spotted a few of her friends, nestled under a rather large oak tree.
She moved swiftly to the oak tree and noticed that one of her friends, Kenzie, was sleeping? She understood as it had been a rather long day. Classes seemed to drag more than usual and most students sleep schedules were absolutely horrid, herself included.
Her other two friends were chattering away with each other, one of them had a book in her hand.
Ehsilat made her way over to the bunch, careful not to wake Kenzie from her slumber. She gave a little wave to her friends as she took a seat on the blanket that was laid out under the oak tree for them to sit on.
"Hi you guys. How were your classes?" she asked in a low voice, just enough as to not stir Kenzie from her nap.

IT WAS RARE, I WAS THERE

In a few minutes, Eugenia wasn’t the only one there with Elena and Kenzie. A Slytherin girl she knew, Ehlisat, soon came and sat next to them. She was friendly, and spoke quietly, as to not wake her up. Eugenia decided to reply in an equally small voice. Oh hi Ehlisat! They were pretty nice today. You know, we had Herbology, then double Transfiguration, Charms and then a joint History of Magic class with the Gryffindors.

She looked around. Elena was still reading, Kenzie’s eyes were closed. She looked so cute! Suddenly, she heard some steps on the stone floor of the courtyard. She looked up briefly, to see who it was. A Slytherin boy, a fellow second year she recognised, Prat Pass. He walked up to them and stood for a minute eyeing Kenzie.

Eugenia stopped caring about him and went on looking around, humming quietly to herself. Φιλάω σταυρό, θα σ’ αγαπώ, όσο ο ήλιος βγαίνει. Meaning: I swear to my cross I will love you as long as the sun comes out. She paused and thought of her sister. In approximately 3 years, she would be there, at Hogwarts, sitting with her. Eugenia truly loved her. She was her bestie, her only true bestie and the best friend she would ever have.

Eugenia zoned back in. She looked absent-mindedly to the right and hummed to another song. Θάλασσα, θάλασσα τους θαλασσινούς, θαλασσάκι μου. Μην τους θαλασσοδέρνεις, θαλασσάκι μου και φέρε το πουλάκι μου. Meaning: Sea, sea the sailors, oh sea. Don’t make storms for them, oh my little sea, bring back my baby. She looked back up. The boy had returned. Prat was now placing leaves on Kenzie’s head. Eugenia decided to place one too. Then she placed one more. She got bored after the second one though, so she sat there, actively listening.

Prat now gestured towards Ehlisat. He told her it had been a long time since he saw her. Eugenia now spun around. Her curly hair, which she had tied in a ponytail, spun around too. Ehlisat did not answer immediately. So, Eugenia chose to talk to Prat herself. Hello there Prat. How was today? Should we, um, wake up Kenzie? She cleared her throat. I know she looks tired, but dorm rooms exist for a reason.

The air was fresh, the branches of the trees displaying the vibrant colors of autumn. Elena was leaning against the thick trunk of an oak tree, deeply engrossed in her book. Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching. She looked up and saw Eugenia. A smile spread across her face, and she waved.

As Eugenia sat down, Elena closed her book, still smiling. “Hi Elena! How are you? Is Kenzie asleep, or is it just me who thinks so?” whispered her Greek friend. Elena glanced at Kenzie and smiled. "No, I think she’s fast asleep" she said, her voice soft and gentle. Her eyes returned to Eugenia, and she tilted her head. "And I’m good, thank you. How about you? Which class did you just come from?"

Elena sensed another presence approaching and turned her head. Ehsilat sat down, smiling. "Hi, you guys. How were your classes?" she whispered. Elena waved to greet her, whispering back, "Amazing, and you?" Defense Against the Dark Arts was by far her favorite subject. She couldn't wait to continue the year and learn everything about the various topics.

Suddenly, someone blocked the sunlight. She looked up and met Prat’s gaze. The memory of their interaction ten days earlier came back to her, and she wrinkled her nose slightly, nodding to greet him. Her attention was then drawn to the small pile of leaves accumulating on Kenzie’s head. Elena giggled softly and added another leaf to the pyramid.

She leaned back against the trunk as the people around her chatted, her fingers gently brushing the cover of her book. She looked at Eugenia, who was suggesting they wake up Kenzie. Elena glanced at her friend, who was sleeping soundly with a small crown of leaves on her head. She shrugged and turned back to her friends. "Let her sleep, she’ll wake up eventually."

Her attention was caught by a girl playing with her cat on the other side of the courtyard. A smile spread across her face. She couldn't wait to get a pet of her own. Elena tore her gaze away from the adorable animal and tilted her head. "Are you guys planning on getting a pet?"

Ehsilat sat on the blanket laid out under the big oak tree in the courtyard. She was having a discussion with her friends about their classes and how their day went. As Ehsilat conversed with her friends she felt a presence behind her. It was Prat."Hey, it's been a long time since i last saw you." he addressed her. It took a while for Ehsilat to process that she was being talked to. She had never really talked to Prat, other than that one time in the divination classroom and a few hellos throughout the halls, so it was hard to believe he was talking to her, especially when he seemed so antisocial. Before she could answer however, Eugenia's voice perked up Hello there Prat. How was today? Should we, um, wake up Kenzie? I know she looks tired, but dorm rooms exist for a reason. As the conversation picked up between Eugenia and Prat, Ehsilat turned her attention to Kenzie. There was a small pile of leaves seated upon her head. Ehsilat giggled slightly at the sight.
She then turned her attention to Elena, who looked as though she was in her own world. She followed Elena's gaze to the girl playing with her cat close by them. Just then a smile appeared on her friends' face."Are you guys planning on getting a pet?" Elena finally spoke up again. "I'm not. I already have one, that I got from first year." Ehsilat smiled as she spoke, Remembering her first time in the Magical Menagerie. It was honestly amazing, and that was saying something coming from someone that grew up around magic all her life, and she's seen some amazing things during her life. "How about you? Are you planning on getting a pet?"

Well, this small little gathering of fun were fated to end. Eugenia didn’t really know that though. It got evident later on. First, she chose to answer Elena’s little question. Do you? Like Ehsilat, I already have a pet. A Silver Siberian cat I named Isolts. The founder of Ilvermorny was called Isolts Sayre, I liked the name, so yeah. A small smile forming on her face. The grey cat would often snuggle at her feet, when she slept, studied, or really did anything. They both liked each other’s company.

Her expression flickered back to the girl enjoying herself with her cat. Like Elena, she really did enjoy the little things. Well, no clue if Elena did. Still, she stopped talking, after she realised Prat wasn’t answering her. Maybe he wasn’t in the mood to. Still, the girl sat down, now looking around. Her perceptive self took the reign. She watched as Ehsilat giggled and Kenzie woke up. A soft mutter. Damn. We woke her. Sad.

Kenzie didn’t seem to have a bad time though. She was giggling, a bunch of leaves falling down on Prat’s head. Turned into a tree? I bet that was his intention. Annoying. A bit. At least Kenzie doesn’t mind. A snack from her bag to Prat. They had a potions project to do. Them? Partners? Okay. They walked away shortly after. They probably did have work to do.

She, again, listened quietly to Kenzie’s farewell. Looking at her watch, she realized it was high time she left too. It was time to study. Yeah, she had study too. Specifically, an Astronomy essay. She’d do a quick fact check, she had to hand it… Some time in the future. Eugenia was a bit too bored to remember, but Hyperthemnesia did the work for her. Next Wednesday. Okay. Good. She had to go.

Bye Guys! I have to study too, although I’m doing stuff solo. Time to leave. Sorry, like Kenz, I’ll see you another time. Signaling for a pinky promise, she continued. I promise. See you later!! Running after the two kids, Eugenia went. She knew she wouldn’t reach them, but that wasn’t a problem. Study time full force. Her forté. The true one.

Eugenia has left this thread. She has no further interactions with anyone in this thread.
