Sometimes deep thoughts can be deadly!

Hogsmeade. ..
A place where Hogwarts students can be free and don't have a care in the world, and the place an adult could be a kid again. Hogsmeade was a popular place for the wizarding world, it was packed no matter what time of the year it was. Walking pass the small shops filled with witches and wizards buying things from Candy to butterbeer and kids trying out the latest candy. Chuckling Sophia shook her head at them before passing by. Sophia knew that it was going to be more packed seeing how it was close to Christmas time.

Walking down the crowded street of Hogsmeade, Sophia's stomach started growling as she chuckled. Seeing The three broomsticks not to far from her, she smiled before shifting her supplies underneath her arm. Walking into the three broomsticks, Sophia smiled as she seen nothing has changed. Sophia looked around seeing if anyone familiar was there. Not seeing anyone, she was seated herself in a booth by the window before the waitress came over and asked what she wanted. Ordering butterbeer and a bacon cheeseburger and fries, Sophia placed her stuff in the booth beside her before taking out a book and started reading.

Sophia was slowly starting to get back to her old ways, after helping Maura, she realized how much she was needed. If it wasn't for Sam her best friend helping her, Sophia doubt that she wouldn't be in her right mind for anything. But Sophia was slowly starting to believe in things again, but she was still really didn't believe in true love and all that crap. Ok.. so it can happen, but as for it happening to her, she simply didn't believe it. Besides, she didn't have time to be or fall in love with anyone, she was to much of a busy girl.

Snapping back into reality as her food was placed in front of her, Sophia gave her a soft warm smile. " Thank you so much!"said Sophia softly as she closed her book setting it beside her before diving into her plate. Sophia been asked why she was alone and single, well... Sophia was just afraid of love in all honesty. She's afraid to love due to getting hurt again, basically everyone she loved ran off or died so Sophia gave up on trying. That was one of the reasons she never believe that she'll find love herself ever again.

Pushing the thought out of her head, Sophia picked up her book once again and attempted to read it once again. So many other things were clouding her mind making her groan in defeat. Shaking her head, Sophia sighed and closed her book once again as deep thoughts overcame her. The idea of drowning them out by reading seemed point less, she needed to write them down or talk to someone. Digging in her bag for her journal/songbook Sophia took it out before writing in it as she ate.

Words slowly started coming out like a river of ink flying across the parchment of her journal as she wrote. Sophia didn't know she kept some much bottled up inside her until she seen what she wrote. She guessed writing down your feelings really did work at times. It was one of the main reasons why Sophia kept her beloved songbook/journal close to her. It contained a lot of things that Sophia didn't want to share with others. Sometimes deep thoughts were deadly, but if kept to yourself even more deadlier.

"Man, why won't this headache go away?"

A sixth year Gryffindor girl by the name of Hitame Higurashi muttered to herself, wondering what could have caused the almost unbearable headache that she had gotten since early that morning. She'd gotten up just like any other day and gotten dressed - there had been no problems during that time. It was shortly after she left the Gryffindor Tower that she had gotten the headache and while she usually wouldn't mind it that much, since she was able to keep the pain to a minimum, lately she had been having trouble with that.

This headache was worse than the others though. It was like what muggles would call a migraine, did wizards call it that too? She always wondered about little things like that but never really searched for an answer to those questions. Now wasn't the time to be curious about these things though and Hitame knew that. So she shook her head quickly to get her mind clear, maybe not the best idea for someone with a really bad headache, and took a couple of unsteady steps soon afterwards.

The sixteen year old wasn't going to allow the dumb headache to get in the way of her day though. She'd been dying to go to Hogsmeade, since the last time she went her day hadn't gone all that well thanks to her awkward encounter with Sam. As she hurried down the stairs from the tower to the entrance hall, Hitame thought a little bit about what could have caused her headache. She came up with three major reasons that could have her feeling down and that could have caused the headache by default.

One reason was that she was a little stressed out about everything going on with Ryo - she hated seeing him the way he was lately. He had so much on his plate and she wished she could help him. Another thing was how she felt about Apollo, confessing had made her better for a little bit even though it had stung when he said he didn't know exactly how he felt about her, but she'd begun to think that telling him about her feelings had been a bad idea but there was no way to take it back. And the last thing was everything that had happened with Sophia. She felt bad about how she, Ryo and Maura had reacted when they found out that she was helping Henry. After her talk with him, Hitame realized that he wasn't all that bad but it didn't change the fact that he was criminal to her. She kind of regretted leaving Sophia's house but at the same time she didn't.

Maybe there was another thing that was causing the headache too. Maybe it was another delayed effect of the spells that hit her.

When she finally came out of her thoughts, Hitame realized that she was already near the carriages that would bring her to Hogsmeade. She boarded one and looked at the Thestral that pulled it, petting the creature lightly before taking a seat. Five years had passed since she had first seen the mysterious creatures that pulled the horseless carriages to Hogsmeade and since she had decided that they were one of her favorite magical creatures.

Soon enough she was in Hogsmeade and she snuck the Thestral a small piece of meat before waving to it and walking away toward the small village. The girl walked to The Three Broomsticks hesitantly, fearing that she would run into someone again and it would be awkward again. And she wasn't wrong, as she opened the door she managed to catch a glimpse of Sophia in the pub. She sighed, her head pounding slightly, and she made her way to the bar quickly with her hand holding the side of her head because of the pain. She ordered a butterbeer, making small talk with the waiter who was standing near it who happened to be a friend she had made while she was working there.
