The Grounds

[Pansy Parkinson]

"Which I tell you all the time." She gave him a look. "Let's get back so you can sleep."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco leaned against Pansy as they trekked back, occasionally mumbling something of no relevance to her on their walk back to the dungeons.

[Ron Weasley]

Ron reckons he could do with a bit of fresh air before class. He found a spot and sat down by the tree. He enjoys the beautiful scenery,it was breathtaking! Spring will be here soon,he thought. Just in time for spring ball. He then just sat there for a moment.

[Ron Weasley]

Ron was lost in his thoughts till he lost track of the time. "Bloody hell." He muttered to himself. He hurriedly gets back to the castle for his first class.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco walked the grounds with Griffin, setting down Athena so she may hunt or do what ever it is a cat does when in need of air and play, "How have you been of the late, Mr. Black? No more sour moods, I trust."

[Griffin Black]

Griffin watch Athena prance around the grass for a minute before turning to Draco. "Not at all any more, thank you. How have you been?"

[Draco Malfoy]

"As well as I can be, Mr. Black. This school can be as boring as hearing women speak of their troubles with the male gender, even when patrolling late at night." Draco glanced to Athena every so often to make sure the kitten was still in sight and not roaming too far off into the night, "Anything worthy of announcement in your life? News from your family?"

[Griffin Black]

Griffin chuckled, nodding at Draco's words. "My mother has been asking about Neko but other than that I must say that my mother has been quiet of late." He looked at Draco and arched an eye brow a bit. "And you?"

[Draco Malfoy]

"It is natural for a mother to bear such curiosity towards a possible daughter-in-law, if you and Ms. Wormwood have considered such a thing at least." Draco put his hands in his pockets as they walked, still looking and making sure Athena was around, "News has ceased from my family and I can only hope that means they have decided to owl me with less frequency. I was receiving one letter a day, at times two which was one from each parent, and it was getting difficult to reply so often and so much as there are only so many things that happen during the course of a day that are of interest enough to report back."

[Griffin Black]

Griffin nodded and stopped walking, turning towards Draco. "I can see how that can get annoying but I am glad things have become easier on you."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco stopped in his walking as well, Athena running between and around his legs, "I am also glad for the reprieve. My hand can only write so much before it refuses to write anymore."

[Griffin Black]

Griffin chuckled a bit and nodded. "I imagine." He looked down at Athena and smiled at the little cat

[Draco Malfoy]

"So Mr. Black, would you care to tell me about yourself? You and I have not spoken to one another in a less than casual manner." Draco leaned over and petted Athena, the kitten begging for attention with soft mews.

[Griffin Black]

Griffin sighed and smiled a bit. "There's not much to tell. And I am pretty out there so I really don't know where to start," he said laughing a little.

[Draco Malfoy]

"Perhaps your goals in life, Mr. Black," Draco suggested as he began walking again.
