A young zany girl of the mere age of eleven walked slowly, brushing her hand across the vivid magical portraits as her rustyish redish crop topbounced up and down her slimish body.
Her name was Brookline Quinn, and it was after Double Potions on a wonderful warm day in the month of April. She didn't have any Hogwarts friends yet even though the summer term was almost over, she never had much friends unless you counted her two friends at home.
As Brookline opened the large heavy doors, she tripped over her large black boots and she grabbed the door to keep herself from falling. Brookline sighed in relief when she didn't fall face first.
The Grounds were breathtaking, Brookline didn't understand how she had been at Hogwarts for around a year and she hadn't noticed how breathtaking and magnetically wonderful the rich dark soil and the dark green short blades of grass was. She loved being outside, being outside was her true passion. Even books was second.
Being outside put Brookline in a rather particular happy mood, she couldn't see how some people could stand a foot outside and now see how wonderful is. She would usually be put in a dark mood if she saw that. If you were around Brookline inside anything building, she would have such a bad mood that her stressfulness and off-centered moods were what made her get in loads of trouble.
Brookline was a dark girl, with dark blue eyes that seemed to always be tired even when outside; and with a pair of pale pink lips that never smiled.
As Brookline walked past the shore line of the Great Lake, she saw a young girl with long black hair presumably the same age of herself. The girl was skipping small grey stones across the deep lake, making small rippling circles.
'Should I?' Brookline asked herself. "H-!" Brookline started to say then told herself not too, she was sorta scared and didn't know how the girl would respond. Brookline bit her lip, and a grey mist clouded her dark blue eyes.Reducio328OOC note:

It was a beautiful day with the sun shining brightly in the sky and no clouds were in sight at all. A slight breeze would travel through the landscape on occasion, which would make for such a perfect day. At least, that is what Kyra thought as she walked down the long trail from the castle, that would eventually lead the young girl towards the Great Lakes. She was alone, bored, and tired from not getting enough sleep at night. Each night Kyra was haunted with nightmares of their past, which caused her to jump awake from fear of what happened to her parents.
The sun glimmered off the lake’s surface and birds could be heard throughout the forest in the distance. It was rather peaceful and Kyra really did enjoy days like this. The young girl looked down at the ground and smiled at a thought that popped into their mind. Instinctively, she leaned down and picked up the stone she was looking at, then looked at the water of the lake, and quickly tossed the rock the best she could against the surface. The small pebble hit the surface and began to bounce several times across the lake before finally drowning to the bottom.
Kyra was finally unwinding and enjoying themselves for the first time in what seemed like forever. Taking in the sight for a moment, a smile began to perk up from their lips from the joy of what she was doing. It may not have seemed like fun to others, but Kyra enjoyed the small things in life, especially after everything she has been through. As she began to pick up another pebble from the ground, Kyra heard someone make a sound from behind them. She quickly turned around to see that she was being watched by another female. At least it wasn’t one of those nasty boys again. Either way, she smiled softly and spoke. ”Hi there! Come to take in the beautiful view the Great Lake has to offer?” She asked politely.

The young girl started to walk away when she decided not to talk to the other girl skimming pebbles across the surface. 'Oh shi-' Brookline Quinn thought when the girl turned around, cut off when remembering she was trying to stop saying curse words.
'Shoot, shoot, shoot, say that instead of "that", ' Brookline thought, silently throwing curses to herself then stopped herself and plastered a small smile on her face and said, "Ah, yes, the lake is absolutely beautiful, ah and, my name is Brookline. Brookline Quinn. What 'bout you...?" Brookline's soft voice contained a heavy Welsh accent that filled the heavy silent with a hint of tiredness.
Brookline shifted the way she was standing, brushed a hand through her hair that was falling down her face and then after she hooked her middle finger on the belt loop of her Jean skirt/shorts. Her smile turned weak, as she hated smiling, she had always said, smiling takes the fun out of everything. But she smiled just enough to show the girl she cared even though it seemed like around Brookline was a shield, a force field that was blocking her, blocking her from making friends
Brookline fidgeted, her arms shivering. She took her hand off of her belt loop, rubbed her shivering arms and her eyes' grey mist flew away. " Bit cold, isn't it?"Brookline asked, her thick voice gentle and kind.Reducio235 words. Sorry for the late reply!

It was indeed a beautiful day and Kyra was trying to make the best of it at the Great Lakes. Lucky for her, the young girl was approached by a student, one that she had not yet seen across the castle of Hogwarts. In fact, there were so many students she had yet to meet, which wasn’t a bad thing since this was only their first year at school. Hopefully as time goes on Kyra will find some friends to experience this wild journey with.
Brookline’s introduction caused the young Slytherin girl to smile wide because not many people spoke to her, but that was more than likely because of the way she presented herself. Dark clothes and a spooky aura would certainly keep people away. ”Kyra Banuelos. My family calls me Ky for short, but that is normally when they are mad at me about something.” After seeing how Brookline would shift their focus away, it was a sign that she was shy and nervous, but the same could be said for Kyra. Making friends was never easy, always trying to figure out what to say, or finding out one anothers favorite hobbies. It always seemed like a lot of work to the young girl.
A swift breeze swept over the lake and chilled the air slightly, which caused Brookline to shiver just enough that she had to rub her arms to help warm them up. As for Kyra, she was already used to the cooler weather because when there was nobody to talk to, she would find her at the Great Lake as she was at the moment. ”Aye, it ain’t that bad! Guess you could say that I am a chancer.” Her Scottish was really starting to show now and hopefully it wouldn’t confuse Brookline, because Kyra was actually starting to sense the right vibe between the two.
Kyra let out a slight chuckle before looking over their shoulder at the lake. It was quiet and very peaceful, almost as if the entirety of the students at Hogwarts were gone. ”Oddly quiet, I’d say. Anyway, what brings you the whole way down here? I usually come here because I have nobody else to talk to. I am more of an outsider, I guess.” She pulled her hair over their ear and continued to smile softly.

The brunette haired girl listened to the girl and nodded. She smiled gently.
"Nice to meet you, Kyra."
Brookline lifted her eyes to the horizon point, stared at the sun that was setting quickly, the same grey mist grew over her eyes again. Sure, Brookline got a little spacey, and didn't have a long attention span, she cursed herself for doing that. 'Shi-shoot, why do I keep cursing?" She thought, her hands shaking as a much cooler spear of wind chilled her very bones.
Brookline shuddered of fright and the cold, as she though of her nice warm bed in her dorm. Her eyes flicked back to Krya. "Chancer, huh?" Brookline's Welsh accent was thick with shivers. "Ah, yes," she smiled as she spoke, her voice a kind sharp spear filled of bitter cold and only a bit of warmth. She didn't wanted to sound this way the but the temperature said otherwise.
Brookline saw the smooth surface of the lake before flicking her eyes back into focus as Krya started to speak. 'Quiet was a good word for that, it was,' she thought, agreeing silently with Kyra.
"I was roaming around the castle," Brookline said, weakly smiling, her eyes sparked in the light rose-like light from the haze of the golden rose lighter.Reducio220 words

Kyra let a smile cross their face after Brookline replied to her introduction. ”And you as well.” She dipped her head just a bit to show respect towards the other student. It only felt right because Kyra really didn’t have much of a social life, and having someone to talk to would always be a good thing, even if they didn’t see eye-to-eye on everything. This was probably not the case, as she saw Brookline as a very nice person.
Taking in their surroundings a bit more, Kyra couldn’t help but to take a long look at the Castle in the distance. It was beautiful, especially with the sun glaring down over it so well. With a small smile, the young girl finally looked back at the blonde student and nodded. ”Life can be so dull, so why not live it to the fullest, even if that means trouble.” Kyra smirked, thinking about all the fun things she could do to cause a ruckus for the professors.
Hogwarts was a very beautiful place, indeed, but it was also a maze for the first years, causing them to easily get lost within the walls, or even find themselves on the wrong changing staircase. ”Aye, getting lost is so easy! Lucky for you, you made it the whole way outside and down to the lake.” She spoke softly in response to Brookline. The conversation seemed to be getting stale and that was not what Kyra wanted, so she quickly thought of something else to talk about. ”Have you looked into any sports yet? Or is that not your kind of thing? I didn’t want to be stuck with just studying from texts, so I decided to sign up for Broom Racing and Quidditch.” Kyra let another innocent smile appear with both hands now at the spine of their back.

Brooke nodded as well when Kyra did. She wondered what house Kyra had. “What house do yeh have Kyra? Mine is Ravenclaw,” she asked, her accent thick as it usually is. Brooke inhaled in and out, she loved being outside. It soothed her. So much, that it feels like home. Much like home. So much like home, it made Brooke homesick. Though she pushed it away and tried to listen to her new friend she had just made today.
Brooke giggled and said, “I love breaking rules. Its like my go-to after being outside of course, ” She looked around. Hogwarts before coming she didn't think Hogwarts could be that beautiful but it was. Hogwarts was truly beautiful. Truly. What could be even more beautiful? What could?
“Its a maze! Yeh can't barely find your away ’round. Even if your pureblood like me!”Brooke exclaimed, her eyes brightening. “Yep, usually at least once a week, I'm late to class,” she added as she giggled, her golden specks in her eyes growing larger by the second.
When Kyra started speaking about sports,Brooke said, “I want to be in Quidditch, but I probably won't so I signed up for broom racing as well as Quidditch I'd need a broom.” How was she gonna get a broom? She didn't have that much money at all. She had already gotten her cat. How long would she have to wait before she get enough money for even the cheapest broom? Probably forever, Brooke thought to herself as she waited for her new friend's answer.

Kyra Banuelos wasn’t one to boast about their house because her whole family was sorted into the same house for generations, and it was obvious because Kyra never really wore the house colors as intended. Instead, she went with anything black or purple most of the time. With a smile still stretching across her face, Krya responded happily. ”Oh, Slytherin here. It’s a family thing, I guess, but I don’t find it to be a big deal.” She began to twirl a piece of her raven colored hair, while continuing to converse with Brookline.
Kyra listened to every word from Brookline and nodded at the necessary moments, before finally speaking up herself. She didn’t know anything about Quidditch or any of the other sports for that matter, but there was a deep interest for all of them. She had no idea which one she would join first, so Kyra decided to sign up for them all. Whichever had an opening would be the sport she chooses to join. ”Aye, Quidditch seemed very interesting to me as well, but I decided to basically do the same as you. I don’t have a broom either! I do have Galleons, though. I have no clue where to find any brooms around here.” Kyra admitted nervously.
There were a bunch of shops within Diagon Alley they could search for something that may fit their needs. Kyra on the other hand had no idea and wasn’t sure if they could even leave the premises of Hogwarts. ”Hm, do you think one of the shops would have something for us? I don’t mind buying you a broom, too.” She stated with a grin. The thought of shopping with someone who wasn’t her grandparents actually had her excited.

Brooke listened to her new friend and nodded. “Yeah, my mother was a Ravenclaw, hope my sisters and brothers will be too,” She noticed Kyra start to twirl her raven colored hair.
Watching the beautiful scene of the Great Lake, Brooke listened to Kyra. “Brooms can be very expensive, and I think you can find brooms Diagon Alley, right?” She said, and nodded. She was sure that brooms could be found in Diagon Alley. Maybe? Or Hogsmeade. “Or Hogsmeade, I'm sure, though I know my mother would know!”
Her mother would know. Brooke thought her mother knew everything. Which her mother knew a quite big deal of things, but she didn't know everything. Shaking her head to Kyra, “I appreciate the offer but my mother has already gotten me a broom when I was little, though since I’m didn't know how to ride and not allowed to bring it to Hogwarts, my parents told me not to bring it. However, I can't wait til second year starts so I actually can bring my broom!” Smiling at Kyra, she nodded at her first part of words. “They will have something, though if you want, we could go sneak in Hogsmeade! I've snuck there like once or twice before? Have you?”
