Under the Water May be Turmoil, but the Surface is Smooth

The grounds had changed.

Not just in looks, but the happiness was gone. The Black Lake used to have a certain comforting gloominess about it. Now, it just looked gloomy and dull. The Forest used to be filled with life during the day. Now, nothing stirred. And usually, at least 10 students were out. Now, it was down to 3.

Alexa did not like it. Actually, she hated it. The lake used to be her favorite place to be. But now, it was almost unbearable. She knew she was not the only person to think this. She had seen happy students go outside, and come back with a frown on their face.

Sick and tired of the talking of her dorm mates, she grabbed her coat, and threw on her boots. Pulling her hair up into a ponytail, she walked down the stairs, ignoring some boys who were chatting unbearably loud.

Once she was outside, she walked over to the big tree by the lake and pulled herself up into it. Her army green jacket blended in with the leaves, making her seem invisible. She sat, staring at the lake like looking at it would make it suddenly glow and mermaids jump out. As if.

(Sorry it's so long! I just like to get the thread going )

Nick walked over to the lake he was bored and he hadent been there in a while Nick had seen only one othe person so he walked over to her "hello im Nick" Nick introduced himself

Alexa jumped at the sound of a voice. She looked down, and saw Nick Potter.
5th year Gryffindor, but that was all she knew.

"Hey. I'm Alexa. Nice to meet you." She held out her hand, which must have
looked awkward coming from above him.

OOC((Sorry im taking so long my laptopis a piece of crap it keeps freezeing))

Nick shook her hand "So what are you doing out here by your self" Nick asked

((It's ok. I used to have a computer like that. I could not do ANYTHING))

Alexa shrugged. "I guess I had no where else to go. I mean, what with the
Imperium Squad running all over the place, I figured that being outside would
not get me into trouble."

Alexa truly did not like the Imperium Squad. She had nothing against the people
in it, she just did not like the concept.

"So, what are you doing out here?"

"its same here"Nick said sitting down next to her and laughed "Im just so bored what about you"Nick asked

"I guess I'm bored. But, as they say, only boring people are bored.
I like to call it not knowing what to do. It makes me sound like I am
not boring." Alexa said.

She was not implying that he was boring, it probably just came out
that way.

( I have to go now it's 1 am here. *yawns* night)

(Ok good night)

"Um maybe we can walk around or something" Nick said

"Sure, ok!" Alexa slid down from her branch, her boots making a soft
'thump' as they hit the grass. She brushed herself off(force of habit),
and fluffed her hair(another force of habit).

"Any idea where you want to go?" Alexa asked.

"No where really just something to do are you ok"Nick said as he helped her up
