New friendships and maybe more
25 November
It was a beautiful Sunday. Autumn was slowly ending, but there was still no sign of winter. Tori was running like a child at full speed towards the big lake. While running, he was deliberately careful to step on the dried leaves on the ground. She found the sounds she made very beautiful.
When she arrived at the Big Lake, he immediately put his bag full of belongings under a tree and saw what he could do. Since there weren't that many people around, she could do whatever she wanted. 'I wonder if there are any flowers left around,' he thought. She wanted to add a new flower petal to her collection and draw its picture.
She found a few of the last flowers and carefully placed them in the scrapbook and glued them together. Then he took out his sketchbook and pencil case and started drawing pictures of flowers. She was doing these very carefully and meticulously. While she was drawing, a lock of her red hair appeared in front of her. While drawing the picture, she reached into her bag and took out a normal muggle chocolate, opened it and started eating. No matter how much she loved wizard chocolates, she couldn't give up muggle chocolates.

She doubted that she'd find any, but she wanted to look anyway - the chance and the curiosity were too great for her to resist.
Es paused her staring at the leaf-strewn grass and stared up at the lake. The sunlight was reflecting off of it, causing the water to sparkle. It seemed so different from the chaotic events a month earlier where she was pulled underwater by a Grindylow at the Fall Ball.
That had been scary, but she felt no hatred towards the creature. She knew enough to know that that was just what they did. Frankly, she was more worried that people had hurt them rather than that they had hurt her.
Es continued on her path around the lake's edge. As she did, she looked up and saw a girl with a sketchbook. She looked as if she was drawing.
Estelle wandered along the water's edge for another minute before deciding to talk to the girl. The worst that could be done was Es being told to leave the girl alone.
Estelle walked up to the girl and grinned.
"Whatcha drawing?"

@Estelle NyxTori was so focused on her drawing that she didn't notice someone approaching her. When she looked up, she came face to face with a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. It was obvious that he was a warm-hearted person. She smiled and started talking in a cheerful voice.
"Just the flowers I found with difficulty while wandering around. Since there will be no flowers in winter, they have decreased now. Do you think the Snow Flower will bloom here? It would be perfect if it opens."
She was out of breath because she forgot to breathe while speaking. As a result, her cheeks turned red and her freckles became more visible. She often forgot to breathe while talking. After giving herself some time, she started speaking a little calmer and slower.
“So what brings you here this autumn day? Would you like some chocolate?"
She realized that the girl still didn't know her name. Since she often talked about whatever was on her mind, she was able to ask ordinary questions such as names later. She started to introduce herself with a shy smile.
"My name is Victoria. Victoria Lena Jones. But I like being called Tori better. My family called me Tori when I was little to make it easier. What is your name? I asked a little late, but it's okay."

"I love snowdrops - they're the first flowers to bloom in spring and it always makes me smile when I see them. They would definately be nice to sketch."
Estelle sat down next to the girl.
"I'm looking for Imps. Apparently they can be found near riverbanks. I haven't found any yet, though. I wonder if the Great Lake wasn't actually the best place to look - many magical creatures won't appear when there are people around. Still, there aren't that many places to look in Hogwarts so this was my best bet. Who knows, maybe I'll find some tomorrow.
Oooh! Chocolate! Yes please!"
Honestly, Estelle had forgotten that she didn't even know the girl's name - there was something about her that made Es feel like she'd been friends with her forever. She rarely felt this relaxed, even when she was with her friends.
"I'm Estelle but my friends call me Es. Tori is such a nice name!
Can I see your sketches? I can't draw for the life of me, but I love seeing others' drawings. I'm a lot better at fashion - I can draw and design outfits and stuff. Ooh also I can sketch creatures and stuff but honestly they're mostly doodles.
What's your favourite thing to draw?"
