Somewhere by the Lake

...

Audrey was not about to put that fugly uniform on before she had to. Dressed in a tanktop and shorts she headed down to the lake with a towel to absorb the last of the sunlight and perfect her already perfect tan.

Lina, still wearing the same outfit she was before, heads down to the Lake, just going for a walk. She sees Reya again - how lucky is she to see Reya twice in one day! "Oh, hey! Fancy seeing you here!" she exclaims, taking a seat on the grass.

Reya turned her head towards Lina, "Hey!" She slipped on her shades and lay back again, "You again. See anyone in the last few hours? Found Mya yet?"

Lina grins. "Yep, me again. Yeah, I have seen her - have you? I've also seen a few others; the Weasley twins were around before, plus I met a few new people - Parvati, Milli, and Viktor. DID YOU KNOW THAT VIKTOR KRUM IS HERE?! It's amazing, really." She enthuses.

"Nope, not yet. And Viktor Krum? Why does that name sound familar?" Audrey was sure she knew it from somewhere... nope. Not remembering.

"Why does that name sounds familiar? Are you kidding me? Even you should have heard of Viktor Krum, Reya. He's only the biggest star of the international Quidditch scene, Bulgaria's seeker! Gosh," she says, throwing her hands up in the air in exasperation.

"Riiiiiight... Oh also you should know that I'm rooming with the captain of the ravenclaw quidditch team this year. No matter where I go it follows me!" She smiled up at her friend, "So did you get Vikky's autograph?"

Lina rolled her eyes slightly. "He's already told me NOT to call him Vikky, actually. And no, although I may have squealed and flailed like a twelve-year-old girl. Just a little." She looked to the side a little guiltily.

"As is expected dear. I'm assuming you follow his every quidditch move and even some non quidditch ones?" Audrey rolled onto her stomach and propped her chin up to look at her friend. "Is he cute?"

"Is he cute... Well, he is Bulgarian. I suppose he's not bad, although he does remind me of a duck a little. It's a bit strange, really. Any 'cute' -" and here Lina put some air quotes "- boys you've met so far?"

"Nah, not yet. I saw Fabian though! He's got his hair long now, it looks good." Audrey hadn't really met anyone yet. Poor Audrey.

Poor Audrey indeed. Pity I have to leave her now. "Look, I'm going to have to love you and leave you, I'm afraid. Things to unpack, you know... Stuff to do," she says vaguely. She stands, waving fondly farewell as she head back up to the castle.

[SORRYYYYYYYY! LOVE YOU!]

Audrey waved and said goodbye and all that jazz. Then she lay back and tanned for a while. So if anyone wants to chill I'm here.

Audrey got up and headed into the castle because Tam needs to sleep soon.

Neville is standing in the edge of the lake, searching for plants.

WOO! FIRST 2.0 POST AS NEV!

Hannah walked down here, a smile still on her face from her conversation with Rolf. She spotted Nev, who she hadn't seen all summer, looking for something by the edge of the lake. Using her natural Hufflepuff stealth, she crept up behind him and jumped on his back, throwing her hands around his neck. "Nev, I missed you so much!"

Neville screamed when he was all of a sudden jumped on and glanced back. He grinned when he saw it was Hannah. "Hi Hannah! I missed you too! A lot!" he says, a huge grin still on his face. "How was your summer? Was it good? Fun? Boring?"

"Hmm," Hannah considered the question a little more seriously then strictly nessesary, "I think all of the above. Home can never be quite as fun as Hogwarts and my dad and I didn't go anywhere this year. I worked alot." She smiled, "How about you? Do anything intresting?"

He shrugged but still smiled at her. "Pretty boring most of the time. I did plant a new garden though! It's in my Grandmum's backyard. I pretty much spent most of my summer setting it up and planting stuff and then I cleaned up my old garden and planted a few new things in there." He said and grinned at her. "I didn't really do anything else. I saw my parents...a few times..." He says, saying the last part a bit awkwardly because Hannah is one of the few people that know about Nev's parents and holy balls this just changed from being one sentence to being a paragraph.

Hannah nodded, "That's great about the garden. Got anything intresting growing in there? Mandrakes?" She named one of the few plants she actually knew. Mostly she just daydreamed during Herbology. She frowned when he mentioned his parents, but tried to keep her tone cheerful, "That's great, Nev. How are they?" She asked, knowing she couldn't quite empathize with him but with the murder of her mother last year, she had always kind of felt they were connected, however horrible that connection might be.

He smiled at her. "No...no mandrakes in there." He said and smiled at her again. "Just some fruits, vegatables, stuff like that." He said and shrugged when she brought up his parents. "Grandmum says that the doctors say they are doing better, but I don't think they really are." He says and sighs sadly.

Hannah frowned, "That sucks, Nev. Well, I expect you to make me a very healthy meal out of those vegetables you're growing one day." She suddenly smiled, "So, seventh year, huh? Whatever will I do next year without you?"

He grinned at her. "Of course I will be making you a meal in the future!" He said, still grinning at her. He got somewhat sad when she brought up him leaving her at the end of this year. "I don't know! I guess you'll just have to owl me whenever there is a Hogsmeade weekend. Right?" he said and grinned at her.

Hannah grinned, "Yeah, I will. And you better be there, no matter how busy you are with saving the world or whatever." She frowned because right then she realized she didn't actually know what Neville wanted to do, which she definitly should. "What are you going to be doing, anyways?"
