Işık didn't look up until he felt overwhelmed by the lessons. No matter how much they hated it, they couldn't lose any more points.@Beatrice Langstreth
Prepared to go out. She put the bow, arrow, spare hairpin, chocolate frogs, guniess cake and pumpkin juice in her bag.
When she finally got outside, she saw that the weather was clear and was relieved. She was going to the Great Lake. to relax.
It was Işık's luck that no one was there. She crossed the lake. She put his bag under the tree. She bent down and pulled out a white stone. She drew the shape of a dartboard on a tree. She took off his shoes and socks and tidied up his hair. She took her arrow and threw it.
Went to get some thrown away. The trees were getting thicker and each path was alike. Işık looked up into the air. It was not yet dark, and he suspected that there was algae nearby.
She started talking to herself:
'Okay, you have to calm down. You only have one arrow and you just have to wait for it to be night. Because the stars always show the right way.'
She calmed down a little

A short break
Beatrice sat upon the rocky shore of the Great Lake. For once in her chaotic first year, she had some time to herself. She'd been very busy lately, what with all the classes and upcoming exams. Surely though, they couldn't be any harder that the classes she'd already had. The Professors were drilling the exams into her every time they walked into class.Time: 13th June 2022
Year: First
That was why she was out here. Being outside always calmed her. But instead of being able to do nothing and sit, she'd taken a Herbology textbook, knowing that even just spotting a few plants and memorising them would be useful. It just so happened that the Great Lake had algae floating along the top. The waves from the water lulled the green mess softly along the top and onto the shore. Bea had scrunched her nose when she first saw it, daring not to get any closer.
Just as she was crouched, staring intently at the soft petals of a some sort of plant, she wasn't sure just yet, she heard a twanging sound. Was that right? Looking up, she noticed a girl, who looked to a first year as well standing near the Lake. How Bea hadn't heard her approach, she'd never know. The girl was barefoot, holding a bow. Ahh the twanging sound. She must have fired an arrow. But said arrow was nowhere to be seen. The girl must have been worried as she went to look for the missing object in the line of trees. Bea shrugged. Even though she knew she should be helpful, she just wanted to relax today. The guilt though, oh the guilt. A few minutes passed and Bea burst into an upright position. She couldn't handle it any more. Groaning in frustration, she marched over to her bag, placed her book inside and grabbed her wand. Shifting the bag across her shoulder, she went to look for the unknown girl, calling out, "Hello? Do ya need help lookin' for yer arrae?"

The Işık moved forward, trying not to make a sound. I was very careful not to fall because she didn't have shoes. She was walking in the forest because she said she would get rid of it at night.He had an arrow she could shoot at any time. With each sound, she was pointing his arrow there.
When she felt hungry, Işık found blackberries in a bush. She put down his arrow and aimed at the blackberries. She took a blackberry and examined it for poisonousness. Thinking that her wand would be more useful for this, he remembered that her wand was in her bag.
Işık felt even more vulnerable this time. She looked up and the sun hadn't moved an inch. Something came to mind. Ancient peoples used a sundial to tell the time. She found a large piece of twig and drew the hour numbers and inserted the twig in the middle. It was showing 4:00. I have a lot of time, thought Işık
Feeling that she was being watched, Işık picked up her arrow. She had a right. At that moment, a rustling sound came from the bushes. She pointed the arrow into the bushes and, trying to hide her fear, said:
"Show up whoever you are."

Surely this girl hadn't gone too far. How far could you fling an arrow?! It would be notched in a tree no doubt, or snapped in two. Bea could imagine all the possibilities, flying through her head one after the other. She wasn't sure which one she would find, but it definitely wasn't the strange girl pointing an arrow at the bushes. Unfortunately for the girl, she was pointing the weapon nowhere near Bea's direction.
Bea grinned. This could be quite funny. Quietly as she could, Bea stepped out of the bushes, avoiding the twigs and leaves on the ground. It seemed the girl was going for the living in the wild adventure, with the blackberries and sun dial. At least she hoped it was a sun dial. Da had shown her and her sister Ella one afternoon, but that had been a few years ago and the memory was hazy at best.
Holding her wand higher up, in case the girl tried something, Bea came to casually stand behind her. "Fit are we huntin'?" She hoped the girl wouldn't fling the arrow in her direction, but Bea was slightly afraid she would. She seemed slightly mad if you asked Bea, pointing the muggle weapon around the busy Great Lake, with other students around. Someone could get hurt if they couldn't defend themselves. But maybe she was just playing a game of adventurers? Bea did that all the time back home, her sister and her scampering across the fields, albeit without a bow and arrow, but still.

The Işık drew its arrow in disgust when a mouse emerged from the bush. She didn't like rats, but she wasn't vicious enough to hit them:
"Who are you? Were you watching me?"
When Işık looked at the girl and noticed that she was holding a staff, she lowered her arrow slowly, but held it tighter.
Her Işıl eyes studied the girl standing in front of him. She was a sweet girl with short curly brown hair and golden-brown eyes. The light thought that this girl was not dangerous, but still he was still squeezing the arrow in her lower hand.
"What's your name? Are you studying at Hogwarts? What's your building?"
Işık spoke more coldly than friendly, and as if questioning. God, I'd rather be at the Quidditch stadium right now, Işık thought.
It was her first year, but she was incapable of speaking because Işık hadn't been able to get out properly except this year.
Işık wondered if he could be noticed while talking. She wondered if we could be friends, but she remained serious.
Maybe I was too young, he thought. Işık looked at her and spoke.
"Don't you think I was a little small?"
“God, I said that out loud,” said Işık.
