A Lotus and A Snake

Playing as Isadora Vilaca——
It was a normal day at Hogwarts, March 31st was a calm day students seemed to be enjoying themselves with the upcoming ball around the corner. The fresh spring air seemed to be pleasant as it was not too humid but warm enough for the blooming of flowers among the grounds of Hogwarts. The gentle warm breeze nipped at the looming buds of flowers as if trying to awaken the sleeping buds awake from their slumber.
With the arrival of the neighboring foreign schools Hogwarts was much livelier with students roaming about exploring enjoying the much freedom they truly deserved. Spring was blossoming around the corner bringing a small array of wildlife and flowers coming back to life.
The grounds of Hogwarts though vast seemed slightly bland even with the few shrubbery and flowers that seemed to be slowly awakening from their winter slumber. Even with the buzzing of nature, honey workers dancing about the grounds still seemed rather dull.
Isadora was walking the grounds her curly auburn hair bounced behind her in its signature ponytail, the light baby blue bandanna that rested neatly atop of the golden skin girl's head was adorned with wildflowers and seashells swaying about around the side of her face. The earrings the girl decided to adorn today were small seashells. The young Castelo girl was staying to herself while adorning a beige vintage like top while wearing a long chestnut oak colored skirt while wearing dark brown combat boots.
The young Castelo girl was enjoying the beautiful spring afternoon. Everything seemed rather peaceful for the girl while she stayed to herself. After all Isadora was a bit of a loner not that she really meant to but she was just nervous when it came to socializing with others her age. Isadora liked being alone sometimes though she did wish to have a friend someone to talk to and confide in though the girl supposed she had her cousin Alphonse who was pretty much her only friend but they were cousins so she was not sure if that counted or not. Could cousins be your best friend?
Isadora seemed to ponder in her thoughts. She did have many cousins and her family was rather large she tended to stay to herself for the most part. Though she had to admit Hogwarts seemed a bit more bland this time around maybe it was just how the grounds seemed to look even with the fresh blooming flowers the grounds seemed fairly lifeless.
Sighing, the young girl seemed to ponder if it was fairly quiet even though the grounds seemed to be bustling with many students from Hogwarts and from the neighboring schools.
Soft footsteps grazed the uneven cobblestone pathway of the grounds of Hogwarts. The melancholy of morning birds sang their tune dancing about the open skies of the grounds, while the insect life seemed to buzz about making a small symphony of hums and buzzing on the grounds.
Crystal blue eyes curiously gazed around looking back and forth. Gently as she walked against the cobblestone pathway her combat boots made a small clicking sound. As her curly auburn brown hair bounced behind her with each little movement the young pre-teen girl made. Rested around her shoulders resting on the left side was the girl's trusted beige satchel that contained her journal, along with her little quill, some ink containers and the girl's wand.
As Isadora continued her small little trek through the grounds of Hogwarts watching the scenery carefully, jumping slightly at the slightest noise that seemed suspicious. The young girl seemed fairly calm for herself that is.
Out of the corner of Isadora’s eyes she saw a blooming rose bush curiously the young girl walked over gazing curiously at the freshly blooming roses. The delicate velvety petals were slowly budding, while a few bulbs were closed still sleeping in a dormant state. Isadora gently caressed the petals of one of the roses. The velvety petal was soft and gentle under the girl's gentle touch. She was careful not to damage the freshly bloomed rose.
Isadora seemed to zone out as her crystal blue eyes were focused on the blooming rose in front of her. The sound of chatter and liveliness did not seem to faze Isadora; she was in her own world as she gently caressed the blooming rose.
Everything seemed serene until the girl felt a hand brush against her rather small frail looking hand. Blinking quickly Isadora pulled her hand back squeaking in surprise. Her heart began to race pounding in her ears as she glanced around a bit startled. Being brought back to reality abruptly. The young girl laid eyes on a slim looking boy. His curly brown hair seemed to frame his face slightly as Isadora tried to calm her breathing after being slightly startled from the boy's presence. The young girl standing about 4 '3 glanced up at the boy's wide crystal blue eyes gazing in hazel golden speckled ones.
It was strange Isadora did not even hear the boy approach even with her sensitive hearing as if he just appeared out of nowhere like a ghost or a spectral of some sort. But she was not going to really comment or mention it. The girl was still startled from the boy's sudden appearance. But she had to admit he seemed rather interesting to the young girl.
