By the Lake

[Oliver Lloyd]

Oliver sighed for the last time. He took a deep breath and ran with Arya to the common room.

((OCC: Our posts will now continue in the common room, right?))

[Arya Rith]

(yeah, they will)

[Blake Deimos]

Blake willingly collapsed on the grass, inhaling the scent of fresh grass and unobstructed air. He rolled onto his back and looked up at the skies, adjusting himself so his head hung off of the bank a bit- the ends of his hair floating on the water. It was heaven.

[Fred Weasley]

Fred sat down and removed his shoes. George was in bed still, leaving Fred alone. Deciding that he'd catch up on his homework, he placed his bare feet in the lake, got out his quill and parchment, and began his DADA homework.

[Arya Rith]

Arya went outside. Sunday weather was always the best! She span around with her hands out, and spotted Blake. "Blake!" Arya exclaimed, waving to him, but them gasped, noticing he was lying down. "Don't fall!" she exlciamed, hoping he wouldn't get scared and fall into the lake backwards. She ran to him, making sure this would not happen.

[Blake Deimos]

Blake sat up as if he had woken from a horrendous nightmare at the sound of his name. He looked around and saw Fred, who he waved to brightly, and Arya, "Arya! Good afternoon!"

[Arya Rith]

"Oh I missed you Blake!" she exclaimed, standing near his body, her hands behind her back, her dress swaying with the gentle breeze. "I haven't seen you in forever! I heard you were at the hospital, ar eyou doing okay?!"

[Blake Deimos]

Blake gave her a tinkling laugh and nodded as he laid back down, his hair back to floating on the lake's surface, "M'alright Arya, I was just ill with a bad flu. I've missed you too! I haven't seen you around as often as I'd like. Aside from Freya, you're my only other female friend. Sit with me! If you don't have anything else to do."

[Arya Rith]

"I'm great to hear you are doing well," Arya said,sitting down next to Blake, mimicking his movements and laid down, her hair too, floating on the lake's surface. "I've been meaning to owl you for quite some time..." she said, "but things have come up, and I have not done that... but seeing you by surprise is quite the treat!"

[Gavin Dean]

Gavin, along with his group of friends, who were hopefully still with him, came to the lake. Gavin sat down, seeing Arya and Blake lying by the water. He didn't want to disturb Blake or Arya, or interrupt their possible conversation. Gavin moved his guitar so it was in front of him, and started to strum, but not randomly. The sounds from his guitar were sweet,and he was sure to not play loudly.

[Blake Deimos]

"Oh Arya, you're so sweet that you remind me of chocolate or licorice-- perhaps they should make a candy in your name. It's okay if you haven't had time, I've been busy too. I'm actually on limited time right now, since I have a potion I have to get back to in the middle of being done." Blake extended his arms over his head and let his hands feel the water rush between his fingers. He moved his line of vision and spotted Gavin and lifted his hand from the water to wave.

[Cypress Silverleaf]

Cypress sat down with her friends and sighed. "It alwas amazes me how beautiful it is out here," She said in a dreamy voice.

[David Calloway]

David sat down near Gavin and listened to him play. His own guitar was in their Dormitory. Maybe we can play together, sometime, he thought.

[juturna]

Cho sat cross-legged in front of Gavin and looked at him. "I never knew you played guitar," she said, surprised, "this is quite the treat to learn." Cho gave him a warm smile, listening to the melodic tones emitted from the instrument.

[Cypress Silverleaf]

"We should have a sing along," Cypress said with a smile. She was only half-joking.
