Wandering The Halls Finished

She grabbed the latter bottle with a smile. "Ah thanks. Look like I would be going to lunch wet. " She poured the water on her head. "They are looking for the nearest water source but I didn't drink enough water today so they decide to go someplace else...like that would work." She mumbled the last Part. "The quickest way for them to come to me and disappear is by pouring it on me..which I find weird...drinking the water has a slower process." She explained. The flowers stopped and started to come back to her. Once they were at her feet they disappeared.

"You both are probably how I am able to do this...I mean who wouldn't?" She took a deep breathe. "Have you heard of the flower shop Flower Hour?" She asked. "If you have than you heard my mother Gina the owner of the shop. See the thing is mother loved flowers so much and so did I but she also wanted me to stay safe at this school. So before I came here she put a protection spell on me, the down fall I can't control them like I want to. Once I found out know duels was not aloud in schools halls it was to late and I was on the train. Plus I don't know what spell she had used." She finished with a huff. Her stomach growled whichever caused her to blush in embarrassment. "If you both have any other questions you can ask but let's make our way to lunch please?"

"Oh it's nice to meet you too Renae" Clarke said smiling. He winced when he heard her stomach growl, "I was just wondering why I didn't see you at the Gryffindor table during lunch" he let out a soft laugh.

He was glad to see Renae pass over the water to Dianna because he hadn't taken any from the great hall when he left and didn't carry any on him. He made a mental note to start carrying it with him. Hogwarts wasn't like home when he could just go downstairs to the kitchen to get food and water whenever he wanted. Sure he knew where the kitchens were but he wasn't sure if he was allowed to just waltz in there, so keeping water on him at all times would probably come in handy in times like this.

There was so much to Hogwarts he still had to adapt to. His parents weren't the type to reminisce on their experiences at Hogwarts. His dad was always talking about Quidditch and the time he spent on the pitch while his mom was more for elaborate stories about all the important people she may or may not have met. So even coming from a pureblood family this was all knew to him. And he was pleased to meet people who were willing to just talk to him. Maybe he would tell his parents about them but maybe not. It could be something he kept for himself.

Clarke listened to Dianna's story with interest. His mother had never even thought to protect him in that way. In fact she was the kind of person to encourage a little bit of an altercation because she always believed it was good for character, made life more exciting. His mom was a lot more about the exciting life than anything else.

Still it was interesting to watch how Dianna dealt with the flower situation and he smiled when she asked about lunch. "Yes, sure, I'm still not too hungry but something's telling me I should try to avoid getting dehydrated" he said looking towards the flowers.

Dianna smiled. "Yay food!" She yelled pumping her fist in the air forgetting the crowd in front of her. "So what are we waiting for? You may not be hungry but I am." She said with a big smile. She started thinking about her mother's cooking. It wasn't all that bad but it wasn't good either. She giggled to herself thinking about all the sad attempt at lunch.

She remembered the time when she was making bacon and the whole kitchen was black. It wasn't hard for Dianna to make a meal. But she got it from her father side of the family. Though she disliked it it was helpful during times like thoughs. "So Do they have any good food there?" She asked keeping her distance from the two. She didn't want to come off as clingy or annoying losing the first two people she had met. She was used to being by herself so she doesn't know what to do or act around other people.

It surprised her most when they didn't call her weird and left for her to find lunch on here own.

She was wet and didn't like it but it was the only way for the problem would leave. Her excited demeanor was now gloomy as her hair was matted down from the water.

Renae looked at Clarke and then looked at Dianna with relief and smiled.  She reminisced about having lunch with her muggle friends in primary school and helping her father make lunch for the both of them in the morning before they left their home for the day. Renae loved two things, her father and food. She already missed her father but she promised to write to him soon yet she was waiting for something interesting to tell him, now she has it. Renae was getting excited for lunch and spending time with her new acquaintances whom are soon-to-be friends.. hopefully. 

Renae eagerly looked at Clarke and Dianna. "The food is delightful Dianna," She said "I'm so ready for food!" She smiled brightly as she started to walk down the corridor. Renae turned around to walk backwards, she flipped her hair out of her face and began to walk a little faster as she was almost tripping over the flowers and her feet. She was trying her best to be careful but she was filled with excitement and tripped on her feet and fell. "Ouch! haha!" Renae exclaimed. She slowly got up and patiently waited for Clarke and Dianna with a smile. Renae was a little embarrassed but she didn't care all that much. It just was an opportunity to act like a foolish child and she enjoyed it.

Clarke smiled after her and let out a friendly laugh as she stumbled, "You okay?" he asked her. She seemed fine but he just wanted to make sure. Clarke was used to getting bumps and bruises himself, he was the type of child to be running around outdoors and running into things and falling off of brooms. None of those things ever really bugged him but he wanted to check in anyway.

He turned to Dianna then too, "Yeah the food is great. It's definitely a lot better than the food I get at home, and there's a lot more of it. You can eat anything you could imagine here. They have it all. My mom can't cook that much and when it's my dads turn to feed me he just gets muggle take out" he shook his head. "Hogwarts is definitely a lot different from back home for me."

He eyed her slytherin crest and looked back up at her, "it might be a little difficult to go together though, Renae and I are gryffindors and you're a slytherin. I don't know if we'd be welcomed to your table or the other way around."

Clarke had nothing against Slytherins, since he had grown up in a family full of them but he knew full well the type of rivalry the houses had. His dad would always talk about the "irresponsible reckless" Gryffindors when he went to school. Clarke always found those stories entertaining because irresponsible and reckless was exactly what his dad was as well. He didn't think his dad got the irony though. SO he kept it as an inside joke for himself. Now as a "irresponsible reckless" Gryffindor himself, he was excited to find out what being part of the house was going to do for him. But a friend in Slytherin? He wasn't against that, and was used to dealing with them.

Dianna giggled at Renae childish behavior. "Are you okay?" She asked walking up to her with a flower in hand. "Ah here.." She handed her the flower. "This is a yares flower. It make all the pain go away when you get hurt, but it doesn't heal broken bones sadly." She explained. She never thought she would be able to offer flowers to someone other than her mom and it made her quite happy.

"If you want it to last longer sing it a song that's what I do." she shrugged.She was really starting to like Renae and Clarke. She hoping that they would be great friends. Feeling her shaken hair she took a step back and ringed it out on the floor. The remaining flowers going to the water and disappearing. "it might be a little difficult to go together though, Renae and I are gryffindors and you're a slytherin. I don't know if we'd be welcomed to your table or the other way around." Dianna nodded in understanding. "Yeah it's okay I'll be fine." She smiled but it didn't really meet her eyes. She was kinda bummed out that they couldn't talk more once they get there. She does have a book to read whenever she was alone so it be all that bad. "I guess that's the cost of being Slytherin." She joked trying to cheer herself up. "

Renae looked at Clarke and Dianna and smiled "I'm at my absolute best." she said while taking the flower and putting it back in her robes, chuckling a bit. She's always been a tad clumsy as a child but it never got the best of her especially when she was 'itty bitty' her father would always tell her. But she was used to going outside and 'adventuring' and coming home with cuts, bruises and sometimes scars. It never bothered her but it bothered her father and it would almost always amuse her.. maybe it did every time, but she would be physically sore the next day of course and that wasn't so amusing for her but it was for her father.

After a moment of realization, Renae said "I agree, we might not be able to sit with Dianna or have her sit with us and I definitely think we wouldn't be welcome to the Slytherin table." Sighing she spoke again "I am sure Gryffindor would feel the same way as well. Puts us in a bit of a bind." Renae rememberd her father telling her and showing her pictures of her mother in her robes. The crest on her robes was suprising to Renae. Her mother was placed in Slytherin. The Murphy family of Pure-Bloods had a history of Slytherins but she was the first to be placed in Gryffindor. After her mother's death her family disowned Renae for being Half-Blooded and they never excepted her muggle father from the start. 

"Slytherin's aren't too bad" Clarke said to Dianna, "My parents were both in Slytherin, and their parents as well, although I think my moms mom may have been hufflepuff and she's just lying to us" he joked, "I was supposed to end up in Slytherin I think but the sorting hat thought differently I guess, which is all that matters."

Clarke tapped his chin in thought as he considered their options, "hey," he said, "Why don't we grab some food from the great hall and then bring it outside and eat near the lake. It's really nice out and no one will really bug us."

Clarke honestly thought the rivalry between houses was a little ridiculous. He had known plenty of different witches and wizards from all houses and never found that one was better than the others. The most exposure he had was between slytherins though, as that's what his family was, so he felt he mostly understood them. But still he would take any excuse to spend more time outside. The castle was cool and he liked looking at everything inside but it felt a little cramped some times and the fresh air always made him feel a lot better. In fact, he though, even if they don't want to go with me I should still take a walk down by the lake, it's too good a day to pass that up.

[Why don't we grab some food from the great hall and then bring it outside and eat near the lake. It's really nice out and no one will really bug us."[ Dianna brightened at the idea. "Oh yes that would be nice! And to shield us from the hot sun I can make us a shade. But it have to be our little secret." She grinned. She didn't want everyone to know about the spell, for all she know they might start to use her than be a friend.

She didn't understand why there was such rivalry between the two houses. She grew up in a family of both Slytherin and Hufflepuff. Her Father being Slytherin her mom be Hufflepuff. It was a fifty percent chance she was going to get Hufflepuff. Though she doesn't hate being in this house she just didn't wan to take after her father. And being Slytherin didn't help at all.
"Slytherin's aren't too bad"

She thought about Clarke's words for moment. She knew they weren't bad. Well not ALL. But to know she have to be in a house with some manipulative people shook her bones. She didn't want her playful side to be mistaken for mischief because of a simple robe.

Renae softly chuckled "That is actually a great idea! It is absolutely beautiful outside." she huffed a bit "Very very nice day." She smiled and said "Really, I could not think of anything better to do with you guys. It is probably the most ideal thing to do anyway. Haha."  Renae sighed in relief. "Oh yes that would be nice! And to shield us from the hot sun I can make us a shade. But it have to be our little secret." She looked at Dianna and said assuredly  "Secrets pretty safe with us right?" Renae smiled.

Renae never had anything against Slytherins except her for her mother's family. Renae wanted to be an exception, she wanted to be with them but they followed Pure-Blood traditons to keep it that way. Usually they would kill off Muggle-Borns, Half-bloods, and Squibs but they let her go due to her not having the Murphy name. It was a scare but Renae is the only thing left of her mother for her father to cherish, almost most pure luck. Renae and her father could have never asked more in life than what they have to keep and they could never ever be happier.
