Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
Soon to meet with @Alison Reinhard
Upon returning from Winter Break, January 2022.

Being away, even for only a couple of weeks, surely made him appreciate even the parts of Hogwarts he wasn't most fond of. For Simon Kincaid, that was probably the Grounds. It wasn't that it wasn't beautiful there, a landscaped nestled within the Scottish Highlands - it was quite lovely. There were rolling hills and mountains in the distance, there was the Great Lake that glimmered with the sun and there were trees and grass and even some flowers that bloomed despite it being winter. Perhaps they were magical. Honestly, he didn't know enough about plants to know which were magical and which were not.
Nature was something rather foreign to the boy, partially because he was from smack dab in the city of London, but more because he was a dhampir - a child of a witch and a vampire. The sunlight bothered his skin and even in the Winter and even on cloudy days, he could only be out for so long in it before it would burn his skin and cause him to feel uneasy.
Still, he wanted to see the outside of the castle, he wanted to feel the chilled breeze, he wanted to look at the grove of trees that led towards the Lake, and he wanted to feel the sunlight, even if only for a little bit. So Simon, who had already been to the Hufflepuff Common Room, the Great Hall, the Library, and Rehearsal Room - several of his favorite places within the Castle, had now ventured outside. It was cold, but for someone like a dhampir who already had a lower body temperature, this didn't bother him and he still only wore a hooded sweatshirt for warmth over his school uniform.

The weather was beautiful and snowy but that was not a problem. It was cold at all, but he didn't care. Because they made life black as ice. The flowers smelled very good, but he didn't mind that either. 'Cause he knew he'd come back to that place no matter what.
I wish I had read more nature books, but he couldn't tell which flower is real and which is fake. She compared his feelings to these flowers. She didn't know which emotion was real and which was fake.While thinking these things, a snowflake is put on her nose and she remembers why she can't stand the snow and throws herself into the snow.Because the only thing that doesn't hurt her is snow, if you fall, it won't hurt, it won't bleed, it won't cause wounds.
She didn't know how much snow she had been lying in, but the cold was already starting to get past her coat.After lying down for a while like this, she hears a sound but cannot get up.So she prayed that she would not have an older sister.
I wish I could sleep in the snow all the time, he thought. It wouldn't hurt if it fell.

Simon noticed a dry brown leaf on a tree branch and was just bringing his hand out to touch it and see if it was ice when he heard a THUD in the distance. He a paused and looked over his shoulder before turning around.
"Hello?" he called out, pausing again, waiting in the stillness of the cold for the sound of some footprints in the snow or perhaps a voice back. Silence.
He waited a moment, part of him wondering if he had heard anything at all or maybe his mind was playing tricks on him. Perhaps some snow had gathered up on the branches of an evergreen until the weight was too much for the fragile limbs to hold and it came crashing down. No, he didn't think that was it.
Simon turned and began to walk back towards the direction of the castle. "Hello?" he called out again and paused for a moment to see if he'd hear something this time. Silence again.
It was then he spotted something in the snow ahead and as he began closer, he noticed it was someone. "Oh, hey! Are you alright?" he called as he jogged to catch up to the individual more quickly. Once at her side, he realized it was a girl and knelt down. "Hey, you need any help?"

Oh my God, that was missing, he thought, “I'm fine thanks, I was leaving”, unable to believe his words, he still hadn't left his side. After all, when my life was this good(!), he thought that I could not cope with it and tried to leave.
But he still didn't let me go while running. God, what was I getting into, she wondered. He decided to go to his usual place, no one could find him while he was there, will they find him now? She thought. As he approached, he tripped on a stone and fell to the .She tried to stand up, but in vain. She closed his eyes and waited for what would happen. Her heart was beating fast and his breathing quickened, if he went to school, her sister would find him.
And slowly she thought what could happen if she took her to the hospital wing, her sister would definitely notice and send a letter to her family. During the summer vacation, they not only open new wounds, but also use new spells on it.With that thought in mind, she tried to get up again, but it didn't do much other than hurt more.
-I wish it had a good ending but there was no happy ending in her story-

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
Helping @Alison Reinhard
“Here, let me help you up…and back into the castle. The snow is pretty slick out here.” It was probably because the temperature was dropping as the sun began to descend to the horizon. It would only grow colder as evening approached.
He brought his hand out to her so she could take it to help her up and he gave a kind smile to go with it. “I nearly fell just up the way there. Don’t feel ashamed. I won’t think you as clumsy. Hi. I’m Simon. Simon Kincaid.”
Simon was unsure if the girl was hurt or embarrassed or cold, but she had said she was on her way back into the castle, so whatever she was feeling, he at least knew he could help her get in safely and without any more falls. “Come on now, careful. Slow and steady,” if she’d let him help her, Simon would make sure she got up okay, being careful that she wasn’t hurt or anything like that. It was pretty icy and slick and he also didn’t want her to fall again.
Still, he was gentle, just in case she had some sort of injury. Perhaps if she had, he would be heading to the Hospital Wing once inside, but he hoped this wasn't the case.

He didn't let go of his hand as he walked. And Alison asked her mind: "Why are your hands so cold?" Without hesitation, Simon replied: "We are in the coldest part of winter." All right, he nodded his head.
When they approached the school, he frowned and said, "Let's not go to that school. If my sister sees me like this, she will definitely send an owl to my family." The man looked at him and said, "No, you may be hurt and I can't take that risk." The girl releases her hand and starts running in the opposite direction. "Look, I'm fine. We don't have to go"
"Hey slow down you'll fall again"The girl didn't even listen to this: "ok but you will show that you are a vampire Or I'll run forever" She would do that too, because he'd rather squawk forever than go there. Even though she knows that every road will lead there.
She was running. She was running, ignoring the pain. With the pain elsewhere it was awful but she didn't care. She could end all the pain but she remembered her sister as she ran
I wish we were friends but that was impossible. I wish I lived without fear

[Word length is getting better! Try to make sure that everything is sided towards Alison though, not having mine/other characters say things. That is something considered godmodding and is only okay in some circumstances.]
"Okay, woah, just wait a moment," he said, wondering why this girl was such a flight risk. She didn't need to run off like that - he wasn't the type to MAKE someone do anything. If she wanted a moment before heading back into the castle, she could have that moment but she didn't need to run off on him.
"What's wrong? Talk to me," he attempted that route. "Who is your sister, why can't she see you like this, and why would your family be concerned?" Perhaps there was something bigger going on there with family dynamics than he knew. Simon could be somewhat ignorant with family stuff - it came with having not a parent or a sibling around and just this aunt who was only fourteen years older.
He went over to where she was so he didn't have to shout. She was talking about things that he really didn't need the entire school knowing about and he was quite confused how she would even say what she said. Most people, if they even questioned him about being a dhampir, would only do so after maybe an extended meeting but then again, he had helped her up. She probably caught on to his frigid body temperature. Who knew.
"I'm not...I'm not a vampire," he whispered a bit directly. Vampires were absolute outcasts in the wizarding world and they were dangerous and if she was going to imply he was one, that could be really bad. Granted, he was half...

Ever since Alison was little, she knew who was lying and who wasn't, and this man didn't even try to hide his lie."Perhaps I would have believed it had I not answered so quickly and with fear."
The man froze, the girl continued, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I think I should tell you too. My name is Alison Reinhard and my parents are very oppressive types. They're already looking for a place to punish. And I think I need to show it."
She unbuttoned his coat and reached into his cardigan, opening his stomach. The girl's stomach was full of wounds, bruises, and whiplash marks. Simon stayed where he was.Laughing Alison, "See the curses they put on me."
"Why don't you run away?" Simon said in horror."I would love to but I can't leave my little sister there alone. My family is monstrous but I have to stay for my little sister.
The only reason I'm standing is my little sister.
This is my destiny. Well you tell your own story"
-The little girl might be standing, but the girl inside was crying. No one could see or show this. So until now.I wish it showed more people.But it's not working-

[I hope Alison was the one laughing, because Simon isn't the type to laugh at someone else's expense. Please try not to godmod other characters and stay with Alison's point of view on what she's saying and she's doing.]
"Okay, but you're at school right now. You're safe. You need to talk to someone, maybe your head of house," he said. He knew if he was in danger, he could talk to Professor Browne. Maybe Alison there could talk to the Head of the Gryffindor house, or really any of the professors.
Simon wasn't quite clear on her family. Did she have an older sister at Hogwarts? Was it a brother or a sister at home? Still, she felt a loyalty there but she shouldn't have to sacrifice her safety for someone else's. There had to be some other sort of way, some sort of compromise. She was young, and obviously she needed help and it was more than he could provide.
"Okay, look...as far as telling anyone what I am...you don't have to believe me but they don't let vampires into Hogwarts," he said to his defense. She was taking it too far with the vampire thing. "But you really should get some help from one of the adults. The staff, most are very understanding and they can help. Like for that," he looked at her wound, "we could go to the Hospital Wing and I bet Brumley and his elves could fix you right up in no time," he encouraged her. "Come on, let's find someone who can help."

Alison's eyes widened, "If I tell someone and they get it, they'll do worse. It's my destiny.
And all purebred families do the same to disobedient children anyway.”
"So what did you do?" Simon asked out of curiosity. The girl smiled, "Because I don't discriminate against blood.In other words, I do not distinguish between purebred and hybrid. That's why I'm punished. The only thing that doesn't hurt is snow. Anway, let's have a drink? Anyway, just have something hot."
The little girl had finally tasted the joy of telling someone. If only she'd been brave enough to tell her family to the authorities, she thought But everything would be in order, first this and then this. I wish I could get rid of it right away, he thought.Even if I grow up right now, I take Luna and go.She wanted to escape immediately, but she knew she had to wait. There is a first time for everything, and that was one of the firsts for Alison. She showed his pain to someone for the first time, then she can run away.
-The bird could get out of the cage, but it can't. Because what was it to him to be free while his life was in the cage?-
