By the Lake

[cannonsandroses]

Isabella walked slowly by the lake, one foot in front of the other, as she slowly counted her footsteps. She had tied her brown hair in a loose plait at the side, and her eyes were faraway, like she was thinking of something else.

[Oliver Lloyd]

It was one of those days which Oliver particularly liked. The clouds held up the sun high in the sky, its rays caressed his skin warmly because of a slight hint of a morning breeze. His pointless musings brought him outside where he could think better.

As Oliver passed by a few trees, his fingers flew across their barks, feeling the roughness and each creases. Then suddenly, he stopped walking as his senses felt a familiar tree; one that he has been climbing since his first year. With ease, Oli climbed up the familiar branches and settled himself on a branch with the clearest and widest view of the lake. Not far along, and in fact directly below him, pranced a girl whose brown strands flew with the soft wind. Oliver leaned his head to the side as his eyes followed her, just watching in curiousity.

Isabella leaned down to take a rock and then laid down by the lake, playing with the rock, her hands feeling the texture of the rock, her eyes distant, once more.

[Oliver Lloyd]

Oliver sighed. It seems that both of them haven't anything to do at the moment. As much as a kind lad he is, he couldn't let this opportunity to have fun to slip past him. Eyes twinkling with mischeif, his hand carefully reached out to his right. He snapped a twig off a branch, long enough to reach the girl below him. He then leaned downwards, his arm coiling around a branch to support him, and slowly brushed the tip of the twig right at the girl's nape. As soon as she reacted, his hand snapped back up so she would only suspect a bug flying about.

Isabella was thinking about something, when she suddenly felt something on the back of her neck. She whipped around, her brown hair in a sharp whip, but found nothing behind her.
Slowly, she looked upwards, and saw a guy, whose hair was mused in the most adorable way.
"H-hi?", she stammered. She wasn't sure what to say.

[Oliver Lloyd]

Probably startled by the sensation, the girl beneath him turned around sharply at once, searching for the culprit. Oliver was reaching half way down to annoy the poor girl again. Unfortunately, he was spotted. He merely pursed his lips innocently and shrugged at her surprised stare.

Oliver pushed himself off the branch, his quick descent leaving his hair even more disheveled. He could only but smile at her stammering greeting. "Hello there. Sorry 'bout that. Just having a poke at you, no pun intended."

"W-well, o-okay..." Isabella stood stunned, as the attacker jumped down from the tree.
Isabella felt a blush creep up on her face, after being noticed at her secret hideout.

[Theodore Nott]

Theo walked them over to the lake looking up at the sky. He truly enjoyed his time while at Hogwarts. "Here we are. Would you like to sit? I can conjure a blanket."

[Lydia Evans]

She smiled. "If you'd like." She smiled and nodded. "If you don't want to sit we can walk around the perimeter of the lake."

[Theodore Nott]

Theo nodded. "Let's do that. It will keep us warm." He started walking slowly. " So where have you been all day?"

[Lydia Evans]

She nodded, walking next to him. "Oh, well I was awake for a bit of the day but then I went for a nap. I was feeling a bit more tired than normal. I slept through lunch though so my energy was down and slept till just a little while ago."

[Theodore Nott]

"You missed all the fun. I got a bit carried away and decided to have a little fun again." He gave her a smile. "But I'm glad you are rested after your incident yesterday."

[Lydia Evans]

She smiled and laughed. "Carried away?" She nodded. "Yes it was good for me to sleep. Sorry to have pulled you away from Amber though. You two seemed to have been having a good conversation. I didn't mean to interrupt."

[Theodore Nott]

"Yes, it ended with my dear friend Mr. Malfoy being covered in orange slime. It was quite the scene." He chuckled and then turned to her. "You weren't interrupting we were merely talking and I did promise you a walk." he said grinning at her.

[Lydia Evans]

She smiled. "I'm sure Mr. Malfoy didn't like that one bit." She laughed softly and looked to the edges of the grounds where she saw the Dementors. "Ugh, they creep me out so much." She shuddered a bit.
