Walking alone and remembering

[Alicia Annis]

Alicia along the edge of the lake, looking into the murky depths sadly. She sighed and looked up at the sky, trying to make things better with her mind. She closed her eyes and imagined her sister, Lynna, hugging her and saying that everything was alright, and that she wasn't jealous. Opening her eyes, she sighed and knew that it was not that way. The thought of her sister made her depressed. She knew that she, the bouncy, happy eleven-year-old shouldn't be feeling this down... She missed her sister.

Tears stung her eyes and she rubbed them absently. She was determined not to cry and be called a crybaby. But no, of course her body didn't listen to her. Tears started spilling down her face as she walked, just wishing that her sister was on good terms with her. She stopped walking and sat below a near-by tree, pulling her knees in and hiding her face from any passer-bys. She didn't want them to know that she was crying. Even if she was a first year, she didn't think that anyone would take kindly to her crying. Definently a Slytherin, if one passed.

She sniffed, trying to stop the tears. She shouldn't be this down... She should be playing with one of her few friends or something of the sort. Not crying... Ever. She was hard on herself, but her sister told a long time ago that crying never helped matters, and that she shouldn't have self-pity, because there was nothing extremely major wrong with her life.

[Josh Weasley]

Josh was in wolf form prancing around happily.As he walked the wind blew his fur and it flowed with the wind.He looked over at Alicia and saw that she was trying to keep from crying.Josh really felt bad for her he knew what she was going through.

He turned back into human form and turned invisable.He went over to Alicia and and lightly tapped on her head just enough to get her frightened.

[Alicia Annis]

"Huh?!" Alicia looked up quickly and saw no one. She looked around, her tear-streaked face showing surprise. She blinked and trembled, not knowing if she was going crazy or if it was magic. She wasn't quite used to magic yet. Her eyes searched the area.

"Hello, is anyone there?" Alicia asked. A slight wind started blowing and made her brown hair dance with it. It dried her tears.

[Josh Weasley]

Josh laughed almost falling to the ground.He saw how it had made her stop.
"Its just me,Josh."He said turning visable again.

[Alicia Annis]

"Don't do that!" Alicia said, turning away from him, "You nearly gave me a heartattack!"

She wiped her eyes quickly, not wanting to seem like she was always crying in front of him. She turned back and looked at him, shook her head, and sighed. She sometimes hated magic. Definently when people played tricks on her with that. She sighed again and looked at him, "So, why are you here?"

[Josh Weasley]

"Sorry,and im here just becasue i was bored and i felt like teasing someone."Josh said looking at her."But i was really just trying to cheer you up."

[Alicia Annis]

Alicia looked up at him with a glare, but couldn't keep it up for long. Her face burst into a smile and she giggled, "Well, you sure did a good job of it."

She scratched her head and looked away from him, at the forest. She didn't know why she saw him around so much really. Not that she minded, but it was a little wierd that they always seemed to be running into eachother. She looked around again to him and then glanced at the sky, "It's almost lunchtime."

[Josh Weasley]

"I already had my lunch.Some student dropped his lunch and it was safe so free lunch."He smiled pulled a stone out of his pocket."I havent done this for a long time."Josh threw the stone up and put his hand out.The stone shot foward into the water.Josh lifted his hand up and the stone came out of the water and plopped back in as Josh let his hand down.

[Alicia Annis]

"How are you doing that... I mean, I know you're useing magic, but still..." Alicia said, watching the stone. She tilted her head as it plopped into the water again.

[Josh Weasley]

"No its not really magic its an elemental power.Ive had it for a while now."He put up his hand a big chunk of ground came off of the ground.He flung his hand and it fell into the forest."See?"

[Alicia Annis]

Alicia blinked. She saw, but she didn't understand, "Do you think that I have one of those elements too?"

She looked at the place where the chunk of ground had disappeared and then back to Josh.

[Josh Weasley]

"I dont know if you do,but if you do you could feel it.Ginny told me this when i found out i had an elemental power.They do come in handy."He put his hands on the ground.

[Alicia Annis]

"Hmmm..." Alicia searched inside herself for any type of feeling like that. She didn't know what it would feel like, but she would try anyways. She did feel something that she didn't thing was normal, but it was pretty faint. She blinked and the world focused again. She sighed, "I think I might have felt something, but I'm not sure if it's what I should feel for the...erm... elemental power."

[Josh Weasley]

"If you feel it you will know trust me."he made a slight earthquake.But just enough for the ground to shake just for a little bit.

[Alicia Annis]

"Really... you'll know the element and everything? I kinda want..." The small earthquake stopped her for a second, "To be able to do that or something. I don't know if I can or not... I mean, I'm just a normal..."

Her hand flew up to her mouth. She was about to say that she was a normal girl, but that was not true. For goodness sakes, she lived in a castle that was a school for magic. That was not "normal." She smiled, "I do want to do it though."

She searched her mind again and felt the same thing. This time, it felt right. She just seemed to know that it was that type of power. She opened her eyes and smiled, "I think I do have it... but I don't know how to use it. I don't think it's with earth..."

She walked over to the water and knelt down to feel it, "Not water... and air doesn't seem right either. That leaves..."
