Ever Seen the Giant Squid?
Zephyr woke up earlier than expected. It was Sunday, so normally they slept in until their roommates dragged them out of bed. Today their roommates decided to slam the door too loud, leaving Zephyr groggy and awake.
So that leads us to now. After Zephyr went and ate some food in the great hall, which was abnormally crowded, they decided they'd go out and enjoy a stroll.
They hummed softly, and wished they had something to play music on. They walked past a few upperclassmen along the way.
Zephyr couldn't wait till they were a second year. They were getting tired of all the older Slytherins calling them a firstie.
As Zephyr was lost in thought, they noticed they were at the lake. It was really pretty, and the sun wasn't too bright just yet.
Zephyr couldn't believe their luck! This is a perfect place to read their quidditch history book! Not like they haven't read it over 5 times before, but that's beside the point.
Zephyr's dad told them not to try out for the team until their second year so they could focus on their studies.
So Zephyr did! Study quidditch, that is. Oh, what they would give to ride a broom over the lake and knock a bludger onto the giant squid! Ok, maybe not the squid part. They don't have a death wish.
They decided to find a spot to sit, and found a big tree with the perfect amount of sun and shade!
one problem though. Someone else was there.
Oh well, the tree is big enough for two.
And so they sat down on the other side of the tree.

Ever Seen the Giant Squid?
Zephyr was laying down on the soft grass, their knees in the air and feet tapping. Their book was very good, and they never got tired of reading it. The pages were sticky from all the times they ate sweets while reading it and never bothered to wash their hands.
They were flipping through the more boring chapters. They weren't really a fan of inventions, just the cool feats and stuff. As they skipped past the page on equiptment, she heard aan excited "Bowman Wright! Woah!"
Zephyr thought it was a ghost who had abnormally fast reading time, as it took less than 1 second for them to flip the page, but then remembered the kid behind them, who they could hear munching on food from all the way behind them.
She assumed it was a chocolate frog. "What a coincidence..." Zephyr whispered, quiet enough for them not even to hear.
Anyway, back to the book.
Zephyr had snuck a small pastry from the great hall and snacked on that a bit. As they were about to finish it, they saw a small grey rat in front of them, it's nose twitching. Zephyr loved rats, they're so adorable!
"Hey there buddy!" they cooed, motioning for the rat to come to them. The rat just stared at her pastry and twitched. "You want the pastry sweetie? Here you go!"
Zephyr threw the last bit of the pastry to the rat, who ate it happily, and then skittered over to the other side of the tree.
As Zephyr read tales of dangerous matches (their favorite chapter by far) They could hear inaudible yelling. Well, maybe it was audible, but Zephyr didn't pay attention to the words.
Before you know it, they saw that cute little rat again, with something in it's mouth. But before they could tell what it was. Something tripped over them, and Zephyrs book flew out their hands and into the tree.
Zephyr cussed loudly and stood up to see who ruined their time, when they saw the kid from the other side of the tree.
As annoyed as they were that their book was now impaled by a tree branch, they still had enough empathy to help the girl up.
Although they did have a good laugh at the position before lending a hand.
"That was a bloody excellent fall there! Need a hand?" They extended their hand, holding back another laugh.
