School Weekends

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny stood in front of the gates leading away from the school. Students filed past her, talking happily about what they were going to buy in Hogsmead. Ginny wrapped her aarms tightly around her, trying to keep warm. Her jacket wasn't warm enough. It was only October, but it was very cold. She kept an eye out for any students who wern't old enough as well as those who wern't permitted to go this weekend.

She almost looked like a student, and if it wern't for the way she looked at the actual students, many of them would have thought she was. Ginny had on jeans and a jacket, just like they did, and she wasn't exactly tall. But she knew just about every student, and they knew her.

(Yeah, it' snowing here. Ugh.)

[LavyBrown]

(dang that sucks, it just stopped raining here, it was raining for two days straight)

Lavy appered next to Ginny waering a thin sweater. "Wow I forgot is was so cold here." she said and then looked around at the students. "Hogsmed weekend?"

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny smiled at her slightly.
"Yeah." She looked up, her eyes had slight circles, and she really needed a few days off. She had been working nonstop for the past few weeks, and it showed if you looked closely enough. She leaned against the gate a bit, still watching the students file pass. Secretly, her main power was running low and she needed rest, but no one was able to tell unless she needed to use her magic.

(Haha, it was hard to type this, cause I'm listening to Avenue Q....)

[LavyBrown]

(yeah I'm listening to this music and I keep typing the songs words and not my own)

"I remember when I had times for those. Well just bearly, it seems all I do nowadays is kill people and fight with Neo."

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny grinned.
"And I don't even have time for that anymore." She laughed lightly. She always made light of the fact she had killed millions of people and she would probably kill millions more before she died. And her and Neo didn't agree, so it was always fun to argue with him over.

Ginny pushed herself from the gate, standing straight as the last few students walked out. She smiled at Lavy before preforming that charm that kept people from just walking through the open gates. She had to concentrate slightly, for with her power running low, she had to make sure she didn't use too much of it.

[pig]

( when is this set?)

Pig walked up behind them in a soft warm blue jumper, she frowned as she saw how much concertration it was taking Ginny to do that spell.

" You OK Ginny?" Pig asked as she shook her hair out of her eyes.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny jumped, surprised when Pig spoke to her. She turned quickly, her eyes slightly wide. She took a deep breath and grinned.

"Of course I am!" She said, a bit too cheefully. She smiled at the two, "Come on, I'll buy your guys some butterbeer." She told them.

(When we're all teachers.)

[pig]

(cool)

Pig did not press the subject but she knew something was wrong she could allways tell 1 because she was a healer and 2 was that she Knew Ginny very well.

" yeah i could do with a nice butterbeer, I'm so glad its the weekend and a hogsmead trip. i can finally relax for once  but knowing this school i will be back in the medical wing in no time" she said frowning

[LavyBrown]

"Yeah, I'll take you up on that offer, I need a few hours of nothing to do, but talk and stuff."

[Ginny Weasly]

She smiled and started down the trail that led to the town.
"Yeah, Pig. You'll be back there in about an hour or two because some kids got into a fist fight, I'll bet." Ginny said, laughingly. She really didn't have a choice, she had to go into Hogsmead in case something happened.

As they reached the village, they saw many kids walking in small groups, past the shops. The youngest, the third years that is, were amazed at all the shops. They all seemed to be enjoying it.

Sarah not paying attention to the people around her had decide that she would get her some candy before heading to Hogsmead for a homework session. She normally would have been drawling the people as they ran around but today she really needed to get some of the papers done.

"Man why did I let my self get so behind." Sarah said as she started a report over different ingredient for potions. She was never good at it but unlike some of the kids she hung with she tried to do her work.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny led her two friends down the road towards the Three Broomsticks. She looked happy on the outisde, but she was really just tierd. She hoped she didn't have to use her magic too much today. It was wearing her thin. She doubted anyone would attack them, since the last attack hadn't even been worthy of being caled that.

The ministry had headed the attackers off, before they got anywhere near the school or Hogsmead, and had silently and swiftly wiped them all out.

[Shara2007]

Sarah had decided to head for the three broomsticks hoping to find an empty table to get to work at. She had already done the drawling she wanted to do for the day. It was of some of the kids taking in a group about where they should go and what they should do that day. Then there was the picture she had drew one of all the building she normally did that because after the school year is done she had no camera so these drawings were her way of remembering her school years.  :)

She then walks in and notices that this might be harder to find a sit then it seems. She start to look around for a spot. Trying not to drop the things in her hands when she notices some of the teachers from Hogwarts and decided to come say hi.

"Hi professor Ginny, Lavy, and Pig. I hope your having fun today." Sarah says smiling as she walks up to them. "I better go find me a sit."

[Xaver]

It was a cold afternoon. Many were bundled up around hot mugs of sweet butterbeer, he could see, in the shop across the street. Some just bundled up, and idly chatting. Most were school students. It must have been some school trip they were on.
Xaver remembered those. He remembered the times when he himself would sit with close friends around a some table and discuss whatever be it they wanted to.
He'd always loved the cold though. In his heart, it just felt like whatever semblance of home he knew.
Xaver closed his eyes, and watched, like a soundless film, himself spiral upwards, black wings tucked in close, and then plunge down, into the snow with a huge 'poof' erupting around him of white stuffs.
His first winter here.
Yeah. He remembered that.

The Fallen prince opened his icy blue orbs, brought his fist to his mouth, and gave a low cough. It was a very common, simple thing-nobody took a look his way. But no one who actually knew him was there. No one could know he wasn't so much human as them - Xaver never coughed.
But he didn't seem too worried about it.
After all, he was so much better, now.

Xaver looked once more around the book shop, then went to the register, and bought the thick volume he'd been lugging around back and forth through the store. His change bag noticably lighter, he exited the ancient shop, stepping outdoors. The slightly shrouded sunlight hit his tall form, the blacks of his crisp long coat, and deep, obsidian hair, so dark it seemed they absorbed the light.
He was strong featured, handsome, and had gained back his weight and muscle mass, his lean form strong again. But he was still ghostly pale. Almost a deathly porcelain color. And the dark rings under his eyes only enhanced the look of his weariness.
He was so tired.
But it didn't matter. He was back, finally. He had never wanted to leave in the first place.

Xaver tucked the thick book under his arm and dug into his pockets as he walked, ignoring the interested stares of others. He fought the instinct to roll his eyes when he passed a group, and heard whispering and giggling. Did anyone ever grow out of that? It wasn't just younger people, it was adult as well. They still gaggled like they had when he was younger. It was still signifigantly annoying.
He didn't look at any of them as he passed, fishing through his pockets. He stopped at the corner of the Three Broomsticks Building, pulling from his pocket, what looked like a marble. In fact, it was a water orb. The same that Ginny had given to him, so long ago.

He missed her.
As Xaver watched the orb roll back and forth across his palm, he sighed slightly.
He had loved her. He still loved her.
But she'd probably forgotten all about him, by now.

He looked at the orb for a moment more, then deposited it back into the safety of his pocket. He always had it with him.

Xaver looked upward into the overcast skies, watching the clouds move over the sun, concealing it within their depths, then moving away again, ever shifting and ever changing. He felt a familiar itch on the muscles of his back, but ignored it, looking away, and starting down the street, drumming his fingertips against his new book.

Sarah had said hi to the teachers. She then found herself a spot in the cornor and got to work on the homework she had to do. She had got done sooner then she thought and decided that it would be fun to draw the people around her.

She started off with the table she had just left drawing every detail down to the shape of the cup. Then she moved to a table with some girls who were talking about who knows what. Then last she drew herself she had sit looking in the mirror that she now could draw her where ever and at add a background. That one was of her doing some work in the three broom sticks alone
