The Grounds

I walked around for a bit and then settled beside a tree.

I walked over by the lake and sat on a rock.

I walked outside and saw someone, a ravenclaw.

"Hi." I said.
"Hello."

"I'm Xandra Greengrass." I said.
"Charlotte Quickly."
I walked outside to where the Slytherin I had seen before and another Ravenclaw were talking.

"Hi."

"Hi." I said.

"Hello." I said, and then turned back to Charlotte. "So, what blood status are you?" I ask, trying to make conversation.
"Muggle born..." I say.
I quickly move away from her.

"What's wrong with being a Muggle born?"I asked, a bit mad.
I made a face.
"Hey, there's nothing wrong with being muggle born!"

I stood up, reaching for my wand. This girl was getting on my nerves.
I stood there.
I stared hatingly at the slytherin girl.

"Taking out your wand, are you mudblood? Will it even work for you?"
"Would you like a demonstration of how well it works?" I asked through gritted teeth.
"What did you just call her!?!?"

I watched the soon-to-be fight with growing anticipation, unnoticed.

"Hey!" I say, sneaking up on Molly, and then sit down on a near-by rock.

"Hi." I take out my wand. "What year are you in?"

Admin Posts : 161 Join date : 2009-01-24

"Mudblood."
"Shut up!" I say, getting a feeling that what she's calling me isn't very nice.
I pull out my wand.

I considered the fight. Should I intervene? Despite what my mother thought, Salem was a good school, and it specialized in jinxes- so I would be well prepared. My shield charm was somewhat shaky, though.

"Four. And don't do it. I can see you eying the fight. It won't be worth it when someone gets hurt. I might enjoy rule breaking, but I try to avoid fights whenever possible. But that's just my take. Do what you wish," I said, smiling at Molly. I liked this girl. She had guts to even think of getting into that fight.

"Oh." I looked down at my wand. "I'm in second, but it's my first year."

"How'd you manage that?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"Weren't you at the sorting?" I said. "Well, whatever. I transferred from the Salem Witch Academy in New York. My mom went here, actually." I looked down at the rock.

I pull out my wand and point it at the muggle born.
I point my wand at her.
I sigh and point my own wand at the Slytherin, yelling "Expelliarmus!"

The wand flies out of my hand.

"Sorry, I wasn't really paying attention then. I was playing a prank on some Slytherins," I say, smiling as I remember their faces.

I walk outside.

Admin Posts : 161 Join date : 2009-01-24

I grab the slytherin's wand.

"Hi Chris."

I glared at her.

"Hey, Al."

Admin Posts : 161 Join date : 2009-01-24

I try to grab my wand back.
"What's up?" I said, not letting the girl get her wand.

I sat beside a tree.

"Nothin much, you?

"Same. She," I said, pointing to the annoying slytherin, "is picking on people."I said, then pointing to the ravenclaw.

"Give me my wand back!"
I gulped.
