Soaking up the Sun -open-

[evangalinna michelle tudor]

If you knew the blonde, curly haired girl, you would wonder why she would be at the Quidditch Pitch. There was no broom in either of her hands, and she had no intention of summoning one either. Why then, would she be at the pitch? The answer is actually quite simple. The lake was quite crowded, and young Miss Tudor wanted someplace more quiet.

Sure, she could have headed into the Forbidden Forest, but that is where a great many number of students end up. While Evangalinna herself is not opposed to going into the forest, she was looking for something different. Life can sometimes seem repeated, especially when you have been in school for six years already.

Thus leads her to the pitch. Eva was a fan of Quidditch, has been since she saw her first game back in first year. She has even gone so far as to support a certain professional team, the Montrose Magpies. One would assume then, that she herself enjoyed playing Quidditch, and this is where you would be very wrong. You see, Eva is not even willing to sit on a broom for longer than she has to, as heights are a slight issue for her.

As she took a few more steps towards the center of the pitch her thoughts took her back to childhood, and she gently trailed her fingers over her right arm, folling the path of the scar there without even looking. She had wished that her fear of heights could be overcome. However, that was seemingly impossible. The picture of falling off a broom was not appealing to the girl, and thus she decided to take part in other, more land based activities.

The land based activity for that day was to enjoy some of the last rays of the sun before the weather turned cold. How was shegoing to do that you ask? Well, as soon as her feet stopped in a place that she thought would be good, she shed the outer layer of her school uniform, the cloak, and placed it down on the ground. Why she was still in her school uniform after classes were finished was beyond her, she just really did not feel like changing.

Eva placed herschool bag on the edge and then knelt down on the black material and m oved into a sitting position, taking her shoes off. Once this task was accomplished she opened her bag, took out her book, but placed it beside her. Instead of just opening her book like shenormallywould, Eva shimmied herself back a little bit, in a way so that most of her body would be protected fromt he cool grass beneath her, and lowered herself so as to look at the clouds. A small smile formed on her face as she did so, and she just sat watching the clouds, soaking up the rays of sun on every visible peice of skin.

Michaela was not a fan of Quidditch. Watching the game, yes. The afterparties, definitely. Not the game itself. Perhaps it had stemmed from the fear of falling, or the phobia of, well, being on a broom like a regular witch or wizard that attended this school. Sure, Michaela was not utterly retarded, she knew how to ride a broom, but she just hated the thought of playing Quidditch. So the events that had eventually led her here were rather on the strange side. But to sum it up, she got lost. Despite being in this castle for nearly three years, she got lost. Again. And again. And again. The reason she was even here was because it was a familiar sight, and she was hoping that she would be able to find her dorm from there. Needless to say, she was a bit out of it today, and no she was not under the influence of anything. Maybe it was just because she was sober, and she did not have a hangover, for once, and she was in broad daylight while accomplishing these things. People should be proud of her, but then again, she hadn't exactly told anyone of this accomplishment, and if she did, well, she would have to tell people what she usually do, which was a day she would rather visit in the far, far future. Not that the students and friends of her's didn't know already or had some sort of notion of it. Well, it was time to open a wall to a stranger today and talk. Find a confidant that's a girl and not in her house or Slytherin, because that would just be a huge nightmare come to life. Perhaps she would find this strange confidant some place. She stifled a small yawn. Okay, she was definitely out of it. She was a bit off on her sleep, well a lot off on it, but she was sober, clean, and her skull was not being pounded into little pieces. Then it came all into place.

The sun was out. It wasn't raining. It was time to celebrate, or at least show some joyous emotion.

So, Michaela let out a whoop of joy. Well, actually it was more of a joyous sort of shout, not a whoop. Hopefully it would stay something like this for a little while, but she wasn't counting on it. She had definitely been out of it, and still was. After all, the sun had been shining all through classes, and now that she actually paid attention to the class itself, she didn't pay attention to the weather. How incredibly stupid of her. And she didn't notice the figure that was really close to her, near the center of the Pitch. She knew she should say hi, but what if she was doing something important? After a few minutes of taking it all in, she found that she was just reading a book. Nothing too big to worry about if she interrupted in a good-naturely manner, right? Right... hopefully. She bounded towards the center of the grassy area and plopped down next to the girl. Attempting bright and cheerful came easily. With a smile, Michaela simply, spoke. "Hi! How are you??"

There was a distant sound, maybe more of a hum, or all the Hogwarts student that were outside yelling and laughing with each other. This sort of background noise was quite common, and was tuned out very easily. Unfortunatly, when you tune out sounds of people yelling and laughing, you also tend to drown out the sounds that are slightly closer as well, such as foot steps.

Catch Eva on a day where she is paying attention to her surroundings, and you can't sneak up on her, that day though....Yikes. The sound of a cheerful voice made her jump. The image of which she assumed would be funny to anyone else but herself. She looked around in a confused daze for a few moments, trying to locate whoever had spoken to her.

Her eyes then fell onto a girl who looked to be around her own age, someone that she had perhaps seen in a class or two over the years of Hogwarts. When Eva realised t hat she probably still had a confused look on her face, she smiled slightly, trying to look as if she was all put together.

With a short laugh Eva replied to the girl "I'm doing fine now that I know you're not some ghost sneakin up on me." She shifted over slightly on her cloak, in a welcoming gesture, so that this girl would have a place to sit if she so desired. "Nice day to be outside huh?" Her eyes trailed over the girl, who herself looked to be bright and cheery. Well, every school has to have people like that, and Hogwarts was no different, right? Eva switched her small smile into a more welcoming one, one that said 'I'm happy you're here' not 'holy crap who are you?'
