*~*rp on grounds*~*

[_Lavender_]

*looks up to where Isis is and sighs*

[.:isis:.]

*sees her watching and then decides it better to not keep her watch silent and waves*

[_Lavender_]

*stares up at her blankly for a moment, then looks over to the forest silently, then back up at her*

[.:isis:.]

*stands up and walks over to the railing and looks down at her. then looks at the forest wondering if she's trying to say that something's comeing, or if she's trying to say that she's going*

[_Lavender_]

*turns into a black wolf and sits, staring at the ground, then lays on stomach with head on paws, ears drooped sadly*

[.:isis:.]

*sighs and returns to lounge chair. lays down, closes eyes, and quickly falls asleep under the stars*

[_Lavender_]

*watches as she falls asleep, then stands, still in wolf form, and walks down to hogesmeade**sneaks into the Shreking Shack and stalkes up to the floor above, then goes into a room and sits on the dust covered floor in the dark and curls up, still as a wolf, aginst the wall and the side of a dresser, well hidden, and falls asleep*

       MORNING
*awakens, but doesn`t move*

[.:isis:.]

*is still out on the balcony in the lounge chair covered up into a tight ball, still sound alseep in the little sunlight from the sunrise*

[_Lavender_]

*watches as the rays of what would normally be welcome, now foreboading, rays of golden light streak through the cracks between the boards on the windows**turns inyo self and leans back up aginst the wall and pulls legs up to chest and wraps arms around them, resting chin on knees and sighs, lonliness enbalming her*

[.:isis:.]

*is still fast asleep and turns onto other side, now sprawled out on the lounge chair*

[_Lavender_]

*after several more hours of string absentmindedly into space, stands and waves wand and is in clean robes**slides out of the room and into Hogesmeade**stands in the middle of the allyway and looks at all the shops, then goes into the three broomsticks and sits at the table by the window, then puts elbows on the table and slumps so chin rests in palms, staring at the tables top*

[.:isis:.]

*is still sound asleep, but has now moved a bit more, now soaking up the sun while still in a deep, almost hypnotic sleep*

[_Lavender_]

      4HOURS LATER

*comes back onto Hogwarts` grounds with hands in pockets, head bowed, watching the grass as walks**walks up to the Common Room to the balcony and sees Isis sleeping**sighs and leans aginst the railing, the overcast light duller, yet the soft breeze stronger, blowing around them**crawls up and sits on the slim railing aginst the wall, like had before in the shack, with legs brought up to chest and arms wrappd around them, though this time with head up, staring out above, eyes setting on the forest*

[.:isis:.]

*feels hair blowing onto face lightly and gently opens eyes. blinks a few times, and then notices a human figure in the croner of eye. immediately sits straight up and gasps, then looks at the figure. realizes it's Lav and sighs in relief* hey *yawns* what time is it?

[_Lavender_]

*doesn`t look at her* noon
