New year, new friends... and enemies Closed

Anastasia sat on the bank of the Great Lake, scribbling notes as she worked on the reading for her next week of classes. Her book bag was cushioning her back as she sat with her back up against a tree. It wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world, but she rather liked it, like most things in her time at Hogwarts. She had adjusted to the midnight Astronomy classes, Gryffindor as a house, and the overall more relaxed atmosphere of Hogwarts. Maybe relaxed wasn't exactly the right word for it, since Hogwarts was by no means relaxed. Maybe friendly was a better word. Though, compared to her family, prison would seem friendly. She looked up and tapped her quill thoughtfully against her paper as she tried to commit to memory everything she had just read. It was a tad complicated, but she understood it fundamentally. After a few moments, she went back to her notes. 

She was jolted out of her thoughts and studying when she heard a loud commotion. She looked up and saw a girl chasing furiously after a piece of paper. From what she could see on the paper, it was just some doodle. So why on Earth was the girl chasing after it? Why not just let it go? 

She rolled her eyes and shook her head, trying to focus on her work. She glanced back up and saw the girl lose her balance. Anastasia was normally a bit more polite, but she was a bit irritated at the girl for distracting her. She let out a giggle, covering her mouth as though she was trying to be discrete. If she had really wanted to be discrete, she wouldn't have drawn attention to her face by bringing her hand to it. If anything, it made it all the more obvious she was laughing at the girl. 

Sonya was walking out to the Great Lake after a long day. She loved socializing and meeting new people, but in a unfamiliar place even someone as social as her needed a break. She had made some talk with her new housemates and other students but had so far made no friendships. She had looked out onto the Great Lake earlier in the day and thought it looked like a nice place to relax so here she was. As she approached the lake she saw two girls sitting a ways away from each other . Seems like a popular place to get away, she thought.
As she approached she saw a paper of one of the girls go flying. The girl ran after it, and it looked like it may be important because of how fast she ran. As the paper came near her she lunged for it and almost caught it as she saw the girl fall down and the other girl laugh. She ran for the paper and caught it as she gave the laughing girl a quizzical look, then turned back for the girl who it belonged to. She approached the redhead girl with concern on her face, "Are you ok?"

Isabella came walking out to the lake with a big thick book. Her eyes darted back and forth until it landed on the three girls...Isabella wasn't a big talker or much for being with people but these three seemed kind. But are they?
She had no idea but with her large book she started to walk towards them but stooped half way...she didn't know what to do. What if they didn't like her? Or they were big jerks? Or they were actually evil wizards who are there to kill her!?

A hand come across her face and who slapped her? Herself. "Come on Isabella! They aren't like that! Right?" The poor girl stood there as the three were just a few feet away...which Isabella wasn't think of as she freaked out in front of them!
"Oh...H-hello! I'm Isabella. N-nice to meet you?" She relised that they were looking at her and she needed to do something. So she said her name and most likely scared the three other girls to death.

"I-um...this is...I" Isabella stood there with her big book stuttering like it was keeping her from dying or that some monster was after her. "I-I'll just leave" And with that Isabella started to walk away.

Attumn got up and put all her sketches in her bag. Now they can't fly away anymore. She looked around to see a Gryffindor girl with brown hair, a prefect, a redhead Hufflepuff and a black haired Hufflepuff. Oh great, they all saw me being an idiot. I won't be making friends this year. Attumn sighed. She saw the prefect laughing a little and looked back at her, sad and a little mad. How is the even a prefect, like arent prefects supposed to be friendly and help everyone?! She probably puts on a fake smile around the headmaster and teachers. she mumbled. Then she looked at the second girl, the redhead Hufflepuff. She was walking over with a paper in her hand. Attumn quickly looked inside her bag, yes she forgot one! great! not great... The girl asked her her name. Attumn Murphy, whats your name? Attumn sighed and looked at the last girl quick, she slapped herself. That isnt good to do to yourself . She saw that the girl was carrying a big book "Should i help her?" attumn thought. The girl walked over and stumbled on her words just before starting to walk off. Wait! Whats your name? Im Attumn She took a few steps torwards the girl and, ofcourse, tripped on her laces. "Gah!" she stood up quickly Sorry sorry sorry i didnt want to scare you or anything she said before she got an awnser.

Morgan was sitting down on the grass near the great lake, taking in the view, when out of the corner of her eye she saw a girl with bright red hair running after, a piece of paper? She couldn't really tell what it was, but it was clear it was important to the girl. The red-haired girl finally caught up with her object and ended with falling on the ground.

As Morgan followed the actions of the girl, she noticed there were other people around the lake as well, Morgan hadn't noticed before all the company she actually had. Two other girls were walking towards the lake noticing the red-haired girl and went up to help and/or talk to her. She couldn't really tell what was going on, her eavesdropping skills were horrible at times, so she went back to her view to not make herself seem so obvious.

The view reminded Morgan of home, sitting on the roof of her house with her father and dog, just watching everything that happened in front of them. She missed those days, but despite that, she had to look forward to new experiences in the world of magic. 

She reached into her satchel hanging from her shoulder, pulling out a paper and quill. Morgan began to write an owl to her father, making sure to tell him everything, about how amazing Hogwarts is to how she is adjusting. Morgan finished her letter and stood up, she stretched a bit to loosen up from sitting down for too long. Her hair bounced against her shoulders as she slowly began walking to the owlery to send her letter to her father.  

Anastasia supposed the "nice" thing to do would be to offer to help. As a prefect, she had to seem nicer. The only problem was she really didn't want to. She had homework to finish before a patrol later that afternoon, and she really didn't want to stay up late finishing it. So, she turned back to her notes and got back to work. She glanced back up a few minutes later to see the original redhead trip over her shoelaces. That girl clearly needed to be more careful, and Anastasia considered saying as much. She decided not to, since, technically, the girl wasn't breaking any rules or anything, just being rather clumsy and annoying.

She recognized one of the Hufflepuff. Sonya something. They'd spoken a few days ago at the Quidditch Pitch. She'd seemed alright enough then and they hadn't really gotten a chance to talk since then, so as of right then, that was Anastasia's only opinion of her. She didn't know the other girls at all, but she wasn't really in the mood to try and make friends right now. She had homework to do and a letter to write to her parents. She really didn't have time to chat with clumsy people who couldn't go more than 10 seconds without tripping over something. 

Attumn felt really awkward, there where so many others that saw how she was being an idiot! A Gryffindor prefect who didn't seem to care at all, a Hufflepuff girl with brown hair and blue eyes, the nice Hufflepuff girl. And now a Gryffindor girl and boy! Attumn looked at the Gryffindor prefect. Why was she ignoring her! Why was she laughing when she fell! Is it because she's a Slytherin? That can't be, others would be nice to her, or at least not that mean. Attumn walked off, tripping over her shoelaces next to the Gryffindor boy and falling on the ground. "Not agaaaaaaaain" Attumn stood up and sighed. This always happens at the lake. She looked at the boy."Sorry if I startled you, I didn't mean to" she explained to him, a little bit fast as Attumn felt awkward and just wanted to leave.

She was about to walk off so she could just sit down and read. Not get embarresed by tripping over whatever and fall down a hill two kilometers away. Attumn found a nice spot next to the water, a good distance away from the rest, although they can still see her, and sat down. She took out a book from her bag and began to read.
