A Journey Of Lost And Found Closed

Delilah strolled lazily through the Hogwarts courtyard. Her black robe swayed gently as she yawned, her eyes half-closed, daydreaming about her next nap. She didn't know why and how she ended up in the courtyard, maybe because she needed to free herself from the suffocating four walls of the dorms.

Amidst her languid sauntering, Delilah's eyes caught sight of a peculiar object lying on a stone bench. She groaned inwardly, reluctant to investigate, but curiosity got the better of her as she approached the forgotten item. It was a sketchbook adorned with the emblem of Gryffindor on its cover and a name tag that read "Linda Ramirez."

Delilah's brow furrowed, racking her sleep-addled mind for any recollection of Linda Ramirez. Somewhere, in some corner of her memory, she vaguely recalled hearing that name. Maybe she saw her in her common room or in class but she never talked to her. Determined to return the sketchbook to its owner and hoping to avoid any unnecessary exertion, Delilah began her search for Linda within the courtyard.

After a few minutes of aimless wandering, Delilah's bleary gaze landed on a brown-haired girl sitting under an oak tree. Recognition flickered within her drowsy mind, confirming that this was indeed Linda Ramirez. Summoning the last ounce of her willpower, Delilah shuffled towards Linda.

With a half-hearted smile, Delilah extended the sketchbook towards Linda.

Delilah mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper,"You're Linda Ramirez, right?"

She didn't wait for her answer and sat down on the grass, her legs folding beneath her in a comfortable position.

Delilah, unexpectedly finding herself caught in a moment of genuine admiration, glanced at the sketches within the book. Despite her usual indifference towards creative pursuits, she couldn't help but be impressed by Linda's artistic talent.

Delilah muttered, still staring at the sketchbook . "Your art is amazing."
The corners of her mouth lifted lazily, as if resisting the effort it took to form a full-fledged grin.

Linda felt so sad. She lost her sketchbook. It happened second time although this time she left another sketchbook. This one was with watercolor paintings. Well, luckily she put her name and Gryffindor emblem on all of her things, so perhaps someone would find it and return. In this sketchbook emblem was made in watercolor. She was making emblems in the same material as she used inside certain sketchbook. It was making it easier to find necessary one quickly enough.

This day she just went out to sit outside. She was sure she left it somewhere here, but couldn't find it. After some time of searching she decided to just sit down under the oak tree. It was easy to notice her here. She was looking at the sky and a bit of sun was coming to her. Now her hair were shining and probably even looking more light than usual.

After some time she heard a girl's voice talking to her. "Yes. I'm Linda. What's your name?" Linda looked at the girl's hands and saw her sketchbook. "Oh you found it. Thank you so much, I was afraid I won't see it anymore. Usually I don't lose anything, but lately I've been having a lot."

Linda was so relived and happy. Putting her name and emblem of house was a great idea. "Thank you. What do you like to do?" Linda smiled as the girl seemed to like her drawings. She didn't mind her looking at it nor she cared about any details where she found it. It was enough that she decided to spend her time searching for her after finding this sketchbook.

Linda seemed relieved and happy to find her sketchbook and Delilah asked herself how a mere sketchbook can be so important.

"My name is Delilah Chapman." said the little girl after Linda asked her. I like reading science fiction books and sleeping on the couch beside the fire." Delilah felt a bit embarrassed at her lack of interests. Was she boring ? she asked herself but then shrugged the thought away. She didn't care if she was boring at least she enjoys herself, most of the time. Linda smiled at her, a warm gentle smile that carried a sense of gratefulness.

Delilah curled her toes, feeling the cold and wet grass tickling her bare knees. She was wearing brown cargo shorts and a black t-shirt with a drawing of an alien saying "earth invasion".

There was a gentle wind that blew Delilah's hair over her face. And as the wind intensified, Linda's sketches were swept from her grasp spreading in the sky. They danced and twirled in the air, becoming small, fluttering leaves in the wind's powerful symphony. Delilah got up immediately and spread her arms trying to catch them but they were far away from her reach.

She knew the feeling of loosing something precious, something that you cherished, so she turned her head vigorously towards Linda, ready to work her empathy and sympathise with her even if her empathy levels are low. Delilah smiled at her awkwardly.

"I like reading too." Linda smiled.

After some time there was a wind that made some of her sketches that she didn't connect to sketchbook fly away. She saw Delilah trying to catch them and looking back at her. It was a bit sad, but luckily enough this sketchbook wasn't completely ordinary. When she was 9, she was so sad when she was loosing some of her drawings. So her father enchanted it in a way everything that was in sketchbook but went out, will appear a copy of it. Surely copy is not as great as original, but it was better than nothing.

"Oh I see. Something here really liked my sketches. You can sit, it's okay. My father enchanted my sketchbook. As long as I have sketchbook in my hands, copy of lost drawing will appear in it." Linda smiled in a bit sad and thankful way.

It's so relieving that he did so back then. But now she was sure that Delilah was a really good person. Perhaps they could become good friends.

"Can you tell me something about you? I feel like you are a really good person." Linda smiled also taking notice that this wind could be a bit freezing.

"Do you feel cold? We can go somewhere else from here if you want."

Hearing someone call her a good person was actually shocking to Delilah. She strongly believed she wasn't a good person, as in she isn't going to get into a fight to save a friend or to risk her own life for someone else. She was very unfriendly in the morning when she wakes up early and she slept through her classes. Those weren't the behaviours of a good person but she's starting to doubt it. Maybe the sorting hat wasn't wrong about her after all. Maybe she had a bit of chivalry in her.

"Let's do that" she said with a smile after Linda suggested to move to somewhere else.


She rose to her feet, her knees shaking a bit and her lips taking a bluish tone. It was starting to freeze in here.

She pulled her robe tightly around her and tried to pull her brown cargo shorts down a bit to cover her bare knees.

[color=#a15d5]"We can go to the small hall if you wa..." [/color]

And before she could end her sentence. Water dripped along her forehead and her neck and rain started pouring.

Covering her head with her arms, she started running towards the castle giggling loudly and throwing glances at Linda. Laughing as the rain wetted them both.

Linda didn't feel cold. Though her clothes wasn't that warm, the weather felt nice for her. She smiled when Delilah agreed to go from here.

"Great." Linda stood up and looked at Delilah. She definitely was getting freezed. Once they started to go, as Delilah offered to go to the Entrance hall, rain started.

Linda put her sketchbook closer, though thanks to her father, it will stay fine. And they started to run. Even though they were becoming wet, it was still fun and she found herself laughing. She looked at Delilah. She was glancing at her sometimes and was laughing too.

I will learn a spell how to be dry after rain one day. They came closer to the castle and Linda was so happy.

Just earlier she even didn't dream that this day can become better. But now even rain didn't make it worse. She liked rain. Maybe she would stay longer under it if she would be alone, but she was with new friend. She will need to use bathroom and change clothes.

"Are you okay? I didn't expect rain to start." Linda said with smile on her face. Right now she didn't care about her clothes. She was just happy sharing this moment with Delilah.
