March was a cruel, cold month; one of the many reasons the ebony haired Slytherin loved it. And today she decided to take a walk around the Grounds to clear her head and to enjoy her own company for once. She loved her best friends (@Caoimhe Kyle) but she needed some space alone to think.

So, hands in her pockets and an intimidating stare she walked around, enjoying the willowy trees for as her company. She smiled as the sun began to set, probably just enough time for her to enjoy a lonely walk - hmm, maybe better not to break curfew though? She grinned in the darkness, imagining the teachers faces at that idea. But, as her eyes targeted a figure in the distance, it was obvious that she was not alone in this walk.
Wearily, she walked slightly closer, and to her disappointment, it wasn't Cai or another fellow Slytherin. Actually, judging by her sunny yellow tie, it was Hufflepuff. Great - what could be better than having an annoying chat with little, twitchy Firstie Hufflepuffs? She sighed, and wished that the girl hadn't spotted her. She wore a look fairly unwelcoming - usually it scared the person off.

Scarlett looked over to the young Slytherin. She didn't mind the look that Duvessa wore. She always got those kinds of looks from others, especially Slytherin. She simply ignored the look and continued on her daily walk. As she was walking she thought about the placement of her house in Hufflepuff. She quite liked Hufflepuff, but at first she didn't. She was afraid her mum or dad would be disappointed in her since she was a Hufflepuff. But it had been proven that they were not mad nor disappointed in her, even though her mum had been in Gryffindor, and her dad in Ravenclaw.
Her older sister, Elaine, was also a Hufflepuff. This was one of the reasons she liked being in Hufflepuff, because she could always count on her sister. She thought about how her life would be if she was a Ravenclaw. The hat did come close to sorting her into that house, mostly because of her love of learning and knowledge. But Ravenclaw must have not been the right fit for her since she was sorted into Hufflepuff. She was hoping she would land in Gryffindor only because her mom was in it She now realized that Gryffindor would have not been the perfect fit for her.

Duvessa rolled her eyes. Trust her to share the same time for a walk she said to herself, and walked onwards, attempting to steer her way out of the way. However, it seemed, that both girls accidentally moved in the same direction and were soon about a meter away from each other. Damn...
I am your worst nightmare.
@Scarlett Noel
Her hair was well brushed and the most delicate shade of darkness you could ever imagine. She stopped in front of the timid Hufflepuff in front of her, and surveyed her with no particular look on her face. A mask. A mask that she always worse to hide her emotions, and judging by everyone's looks, they never understood it.
Duvessa was destined to be a Slytherin. What else, after a long line of haughty pure-bloods? It was fascinating how most Embers and Indess members had been sorted into Ravenclaw or Slytherin - yet, Duvessa had carried on the reputation.
Her robes were pristine, as if drawn in a book and skin milky white giving her an odd, almost terrifying look. Her snake like eyes glowed as she watched the girl; wanting her to take the first move. Dear lord, was she always quiet like that? She resisted the urge to roll her eyes once more and stood deadly still.

She seemed almost terrified when the Slytherin had walked up to her and stood still and quietly. Her parents had always told her to try to steer clear of Slytherins, they were usually trouble. A Slytherin once teased her dad with some other kids in his years of Hogwarts, that was one of her worst nightmares, being humiliated in front of other students. She resisted the urge to mumble and to stutter, she had to keep up her brave-ish act so there wouldn't be any trouble between them. "May I help you?" She forced herself to make eye contact with Duvessa. Today was a day she did things she never had really done before.
Her hair was curlier than usual today. In the dim light her hair looked a bit shiny too. She decided she would wear some sliver eyeshadow since she was being bold today. She wore a light shade of lipstick so that it wouldn't show too much.
To be honest, she never really had made eye contact with anyone, let alone a Slytherin.
Relax Scarlett. She won't bother you if you act as if you don't care if she talks to you. Just keep up the act and you will be okay.

"May I help you?" the Hufflepuff asked. At once, Duvessa responded.
Make them look where you want them to; hide the cards in plain sight.
@Scarlett Noel
"No, thank you. I'm perfectly fine. Do you need any help?" She repeated the girl's question, but unlike the girls, hers was a bit more bitter and a dripping in sarcasm. Couldn't that girl just..walk away? As in plainly walk. Not talking or bothering the aspiring duelist.
Duvessa looked at that girl, seizing her up quickly. She seemed to be very shy...or at least scared - and her hair was well, curly. Golden. Just like those princess books Lorie forced her to read as a joke. And lipstick - who did she think she was? Duvessa never cared for makeup and was always slightly amused when people put layers on it. Today she felt like she would scowl only, however, so resisted the urge to comment on the girls outfit.
She was wearing her own Slytherin robes, hair let loose and tumbling past her shoulders. It was perhaps the time to go back to the dormitory now, no doubt her door mate would be ectastic to see her again - they certainly had loads of fun together. So, attempting to bring an end to the talk, she looked at the girl dully. How long would she be stammering to her? She had better finish soon.

She looked at Duvessa, Slytherin does make sense for a girl with this personality so far. She thought to herself, did she not care about first impressions as much as she did? She cared about them A LOT. Obviously this young woman didn't like her for some reason- she wondered why.
Maybe it was when she ignored Duvessa's mean look, or even asked her if she needed any help. No matter what it was, she didn't like her. At this, her eyes dropped down to the ground, thinking about the fact that Duvessa didn't like her. If Duvessa didn't like Scarlett, then Scarlett didn't like Duvessa. It seemed pretty simple.
Scarlett was a very observant person. She could tell when Duvessa first saw her, she didn't like her. Her nasty look she gave her was the first warning. Then Duvessa had the nerve and audacity to roll her eyes at her even though she really had done nothing.
"I've only asked you if I could help you because you walked straight-" she looked away for a second and stopped, "up to me. So why are you bothering me? What did I do?" She asked. She always tried to keep away from people and avoid conversations, but this girl had literally walked right up to her with an unpleasant atmosphere around her. She made direct eye contact with Duvessa after she asked the question.
