The Lawns

[Alexandria Silverton]

"Phoenixs are one of the most gorgeous creatures that I've personally had the pleasure of working with, if you ever have the chance to take care of a wounded one, then take full advantage of it." she said with a big grin, then lied back on the grass and stared up at the sky. "Oh I have noticed, rather interesting that not only Slytherins have fun in Potions." she giggled slightly and rested her hands behind her head.

[Willow Knotwood]

Willow watched her juggling stones and began changing their colours until there was one for each colour of the rainbow.
"I think Professor Pettigrew's gone a bit...odd. Don't you think. Ever since the battle. She just seems different. I used to find her really approachable and interesting, but now it's like she doesn't have the time for us. Like she just doesn't want to be here. What do you think?" she asked, looking down at Alex.

[Alexandria Silverton]

Alex turned her head slightly and watched the stones turning colours and raised her left eyebrow, Will was certainly good with transfiguration unlike herself. "Well that would explain why she's changed, anyone who witnessed all the deaths and frustrations had changed; became darker." she replied with a slight sigh as she watched the clouds go by, she knew all about that; the nightmares still hadn't stopped even though it had been a year since the battle had happened.

[Willow Knotwood]

Willow nodded slowly. The stones were now changing shape to look like house elf heads.
"I guess so. Wasn't she like, Kelly Black's Aunt or Cousin or something? Whatever happened to her? Did she die in the battle too?" Willow asked. Kelly had been scary. Willow had avoided her.

[Alexandria Silverton]

"Kelly, I believe.. is still alive; the last thing I heard was she's working in Knockturn Alley; surprising she managed to avoid Azkaban unlike Danika, Ceallach and Raven which is totally ridiculous." Alex was still completely frustrated with how that worked out, but there really wasn't much she could do about that; she did miss Raven because that girl totally got her.

[Willow Knotwood]

Willow looked at Alex in surprise.
"She's a shop keeper?" she asked incredulously. "The all-powerful Kelly Black is a shop keeper?" she asked again. The all of a sudden she fell about laughing. It was hilarious. The girl that made first years scurry out of her path in fear was a merchandiser. She rolled around on the grass clutching her belly, cackling hysterically.

[Alexandria Silverton]

"Oh that is definitely hilarious, I mean like she goes from being this crazy evil girl to nothing but a common shopkeeper; I would have never expected that to be honest.." Alex said then chuckled slightly and played around with her necklace out of boredom; she rolled over onto her stomach then rested her head on one of her hands at least for the moment.

[Willow Knotwood]

Willow finally stopped laughing and lay on her back, getting her breath back. Occasionally a single chuckle would escape her lips but she sobered up and looked at Alex sideways.
"I always thought she was on the Order's side. She hated Death Eaters. I mean...she was practically raised by Professor Dumbledore. I always thought she was one of the good guys. I wonder what made her lose it like that." she pondered out loud.

[Alexandria Silverton]

"I know one thing that really kept her sane was Danika and when she found out that Dani was cheating on her with Raven, she practically lost it; attacked Raven, tried to make her suffer but after that she was never the same." Alex said with a slight shudder as she remembered what happened after that, she witnessed the downfall of Raven when Danika had to explain what was really going on and that never left her memories.

[Willow Knotwood]

Willow couldn't help a bemused snort. She raised one eyebrow and looked over Alex.
"Forgive me, but wasn't Danika Peverell one of the biggest slappers in the school? I think she slept with half the students in the castle." she said indignantly. Danika had had quite a reputation.
"And now she's in Azkaban where she belongs." she added with a scowl. From what she's heard it had been Danika that had murdered Sam.

[Alexandria Silverton]

Alex chuckled slightly at Will, well she was aware of Danika's reptuation; seemed there was a serious issue with infidelity at this school which was definitely interesting but she hoped that it would change along with practically everything else here. "Ah but she wasn't as bad as Ceallach, now that girl was definitely like fifteen times worse than Danika ever was." she commented with a slight smirk.

"Not everyone who deserves to be in Azkaban is there.." she added with a slight note of frustration, she was lucky to not to have been actually involved with any of the fighting since it was all pointless to her.

[Willow Knotwood]

"I don't really know that much about Ceallach to be honest. She wasn't here very long, was she? From what I heard they put her in Max Security. I just remember that she always looked...well...fabulous. You know what I mean? She was always really well dressed. And her make up was always perfect." Willow rambled, waving her hands about in the air artistically. "She was a little too perfect or me. I prefer chaos." she added with a mischievous grin.

[Alexandria Silverton]

"I only know her through one of her friends who died in the battle, oh of course; she was honestly like always concerned about her looks. I'm not really into people who are striving to always be perfect or they spend ages in front of a mirror; it's just ridiculous to me sometimes." Alex said with a slight smirk, from what she could tell Will would definitely be someone she'd be interested in since the girl was obviously gorgeous but at the same time she was crazy which definitely had caught Alex's attention.

[Willow Knotwood]

"No, me either." agreed Wilow, shaking her head. "Life's too short. I'd rather spend my time living it. But each to their own, I guess." One thing Willow did understand was that everyone was different, and she liked it that way.
"Hey do you remember that Dracus guy? He was a Slytherin, you must remember him. There were all those rumours that he was having an affair with Professor Snape." she said giggling gleefully. "I always thought that was funny. Wonder if it was true..." she mused to herself.

[Alexandria Silverton]

"Oh yes.. Caeleb, he was certainly an interesting guy; oh those rumours never ceased, I'm not sure if they were true but I did hear something that he married Professor Snape, although that could have been just a rumour since I didn't see if it actually happened." Alex said as she began fiddling around with her silver necklace slightly, wondering what she was actually after at this school; something more than just an education.
