The Peace of Nature
Mentioning:OutfitReducioIt was definitely still cold outside. The icy morning wind was harsh on Beatrice's skin and she cuddled her face more into the large scarf she was wearing. Her steps were calm, journal and pen in her hand and Adelaide close by her side. Even though the cold was still biting and frost was spreading from tree branch to tree branch, the less shadowy spots were filled with sun and a warm feeling spread across her skin. Beatrice had indeed missed being at Hogwarts while she was at home. While the Dupont Estate was large and the land they owned big, there was nothing quite like looking out onto the great lake. Very few students were out of the castle this time around, which Beatrice couldn't quite understand - who wouldn't want to soak in the first few warm sun streaks melting the ice. Granted, there was some time left until spring started but you could already feel the frosty winter darkness taking it's leave.
Sitting down on one of the large stones, Beatrice took a deep breath and let Adelaide climb on her lap. The grey kitten loved cuddling with her owner and the peaceful sight of their surroundings allowed a calm sleep in Beatrice's lap. The Slytherin gently caressed the kitten behind her ears, which resulted into purring and a soon fast asleep kitten. Letting herself soak up some Vitamin D, Beatrice closed her eyes and directed her face in the direction of the sky. She could faintly hear some birds chirping and a soft yet cold wind rustled the leafs all around them. It was quite peaceful, sitting here like this. Tomorrow would be Monday, the 29th of January and while Beatrice was kind of dreading the day filled with classes, she also enjoyed something about the filled halls, the scratching sound of quills on parchment and the lessons taught. It was an entirely different environment than the one she was in this very moment but both had their peacefulness.

The Peace of Nature
It was a beautiful, ice-cold winter day when I decided to go for a walk by the big lake. I put on my jacket and a thick scarf. I went out and walked towards the big lake. The sun was shining through the clouds and I could hear the birds chirping quietly It wasn't the beginning of spring yet, so I continued walking towards the big lake. I enjoyed the fresh air and the wind. I walked along the lake, lost in thought. Suddenly I looked up and saw a young student sitting on a stone. She came from the same house as I was a Slytherin, I thought about whether I should talk to her, but then I decided to go for a walk. I looked into the lake, it was glittering, the lake almost looked like a mirror and I continued walking dreamily. A little later I saw another stone. I decided to sit down and take a break to do I leave a bit in my book when I read a bit in the book I decided to move on maybe I would meet other students so I continued along the lake and was once again the one student sitting on the stone with her cat. I watched her play with her cat for a while and they seemed very familiar with each other

The Peace of Nature
Mentioning:OutfitReducioThe Peace of this early morning was not disturbed by anything but light steps that Beatrice could not care to turn around to. Her eyes were focused on her journal as she scribbled down her thoughts. The snow crunched beneath her feet but the warmth from her clothes and Adelaide sprawled across her lap kept the Slytherin warm. Hogwarts was just like always. Classes, sports, new Professors, old Professors, assignments. It wasn't easy to keep up with everything that was happening and yet something about Hogwarts felt like Home to Beatrice. The grand castle, the Library, the Slytherin Common room, every little piece of the Prefect felt comfortable at Hogwarts. Of course the halls weren't always peaceful. The Balls always seemed to bring Chaos and little trouble makers were roaming the halls looking for rules to break.
When another pair of feet made sounds behind the Brunette, she stopped scribbling and took a look at her pocket watch. Her gaze slowly lifted from her Journal, which made Adelaide lift her head. Beatrice gently caressed the kitten's head as she looked out onto the lake. It had been an hour or so that Beatrice had enjoyed sitting on the stones. The snow was sparkling in the sun and the Brunette took a deep breath before looking around. Her head lifted even more and she turned until her gaze got stuck on a blonde girl sitting a few meters away. A smile spread across her face and she waved at the girl, calling a small hello before directing her gaze back at Adelaide. She almost felt obligated to be nice and friendly these days, it was almost like a duty.

I decided to watch the two of them for a while. I said that the girl was petting her cat when she suddenly looked in my direction and called out hello. Then I waved back in a friendly manner and continued reading my book. I decided to look at the sparkling lake for a while but then I had it a better idea I could ask the girl how she is, although I still have to think twice about whether I should really do that. After all, she was so lost in her thoughts and so busy with her cat, I decided to go over anyway to take a closer look at both of them. So I went over and took a closer look at the girl who was from the same Slytherin house as me so I went over and said to the girl “hello how are you” “what are you doing” “your cat has very nice fur” “ what’s your cat’s name” “ how rude I haven’t introduced myself to you yet my name is Emmakuma Phoenix “ “ can I sit with you?” “Do you know anything about our House Founder of Slytherin?” “Do you even want to talk to me at all?”

Mentioning:OutfitReducioBeatrice had turned back around and Adelaide was going back to sleep. It wasn't long until she heard footsteps again and then she heard the girls voice. Beatrice's gaze lifted and she met the blonde's eyes with a smile. She hadn't really been in the mood to socialize but she had called hello, so there was no reason to not talk to this girl now. She was seemingly younger and Beatrice had a feeling she had seen her in the Slytherin Common Room before. „Hello, I am well, how are you?” the Brunette laid her journal beside her and sat up a little, careful to not let the sleeping cat slide of her lap. At the storm of questions coming from the girl, Beatrice blinked a little confused before catching herself and starting to answer.
„I am just journaling a bit and enjoying the first warm sun streaks, thank you.” Beatrice smiled. „Her name is Adelaide and my name is Beatrice Dupont. What is your name?” By the chaos of questions, the Prefect guessed that the girl, who introduced herself as Emmakuma, was a first year or just had a very open personality. „Yes, of course you can sit with me. I am not opposed to meeting new people or talking to you.” The smile was still on Beatrice's lips and she tried to form it into a more assuring one.
„May I ask what year you are in?” Beatrice let her gaze run over her, trying to observe and study Emmakuma. Apparently she liked Nature as much as Beatrice, since there weren't a lot of students outside on these cold January days. Admittedly, it was well after breakfast now and Beatrice would have to go after her duties and assignments soon.

The Peace of Nature
"I'm in my first year at Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat sorted me into Slytherin House." “Sorry I was so rude earlier and didn’t introduce myself straight away.” “Do you know anything about the founder of Slytherin?” When I asked Bear that, I thought for a moment, I didn't want to be too intrusive and gave her some time to answer or so that she had a break. I continued to think about what and whether I should tell her anything else, since I barely knew her and we weren't friends yet. I set off on the big blue lake for a while. The water of the lake glittered in the sun for a while and I thought about whether I should tell her anything else about myself or that I was interested in dark magic. I decided to continue reading my book while I continued to think, although I was very open-minded, I was also cautious about who I became friends with, my caution was not by chance as I found it safer to choose my friends carefully. I decided to wait until Bea asked me a few more questions. I thought it would be best if I kept flipping through my book and read it. Of course I'm happy to meet new people, but there was also a healthy mistrust. After careful consideration, I decided to ask Bea if it was her wish to end up in Slytherin House, or should I say if she thought the Hat had sorted her out correctly.
I asked, “Bea, was it your wish to be sorted into Slytherin House?”
Once I asked the question, I waited for an answer.

Mentioning:OutfitReducioBeatrice smiled at Emmakuma and nodded as she talked. „I am in my second year and also in Slytherin. How are you liking it? If you have doubts, I promise those will be resolved soon. The sorting hat does not make mistakes.“ If Emmakuma did have doubts, she was certainly not going to be the first one to have them. Many young students were not quite sure where they belonged yet, however, they still had a lot of time to figure it out. „It is really no problem, you remembered to introduce yourself after all.“ A friendly chuckle escaped Beatrice's lips as Emmakuma went over to her next question. „I do know a bit about Salazar Slytherin, yes. You are probably going to learn a bit about the founders in History of Magic, which you also should have a book for, you could always study in there. There is also a book called Hogwarts a History and several others that you can find in the Library, if you are interested in how Hogwarts was founded.“ To be truthful, Beatrice did not know more than the average pureblood Student, there was surely more to find out.
Emmakuma went over to reading in her book a bit, which brought Beatrice's attention back to her kitten. Adelaide was still securely sprawled across the Slytherin's lap, sleeping peacefully. When Emmakuma asked another question, Beatrice looked up again. She liked this question. It was something she hadn't been asked often until now. „It was my wish to be sorted into Slytherin, yes. My parents were hoping that I will get into Slytherin too. I believe our house is often misunderstood and others may think we'll turn evil or power hungry because of the history of this house, but I don't think that is the case. We have just as many great, nice and good people as in any other house.“ She trailed off for a second, her gaze moving to the large castle close to them. „What about you? Did you have a preference before coming here?“

The Peace of Nature
I'll tell you just before I answered that Slytherin House was my favorite right from the start. My parents have already told me something about Slytherin House because the Sorting Hat had sorted my parents into the same Slytherin House that they used to go to school at Hogwarts were. So they hoped that I would be sorted into Slytherin House like they were back then.
Fortunately, that's how it turned out.
I want a long pause and was silent to think about what I should answer next because after all not everyone knew that I was interested in dark magic of course only to know how to remove the spells caused by dark magic and how You could fix other spells with the help of dark magic because I had heard that it was possible. I continued to think about it. I didn't want to mention my ability to be a parselmouth.
I hoped she wouldn't judge me for being interested in dark magic. After all, I just wanted to know how you and if you can heal, because I've heard that some healings can only be accomplished with dark magic. So I decided to ask her if she wanted to be my girlfriend.
After being silent and thinking for a long time, I took courage. And so asked her “Bea, are you interested in dark magic or what are you interested in?”
Then I stayed quiet for a moment to wait for Bea's answer, while I continued reading my book.
