Full Moon Rising

[Seth Lockhart]

  The moon shone brilliantly up in the sky. It illuminated upon the forest of the school grounds. The grass, the greenhouses, the roof where Seth stood. It made everything so much brighter. So much more...beautiful.

  At least that is what he thought. Seth loved nature. He loved how it looked, how it smelled, how it felt. It was all so amazing to him. It made him feel at peace with himself. When he was stressed, these beautiful scenes like that shown below were what took it away. He smiled as a chilling wind blew against his tan cheeks. Blowing his spikey black hair to the side. It was so perfect. Nothing could ruin this scene.

   He leaned against the blocks along the edge of the roof, taking in a deep breath of air and slowly exhaling. The cold air burned his throat, but he liked it. He looked at his left wrist where a silver watch was wrapped around it. It was only 8PM. People weren't even getting ready for bed yet. He rubbed his muscular arms fiercely as a cold chill ran through his body. He wore only a black long sleeve and gray sweatpants. He was told it might snow tomorrow so it would be even colder by morning.

   Standing up, he stretched his arms, arching his back, then let them flop to his side. He turned to start for the entrance to the door that took him down a large flight of stairs, but instead spotted a figure standing in front of it. The moons' illuminating light didn't reach that part of the roof. The figure was merely a dark shadow standing in front of a door.

A girl took a couple steps into the room. She shook her head, making her light brown hair get out of her eyes. "Hello." She said quietly. "I don`t believe we met, are you new?" She asked a little louder. She shivered in her thin orange hoodie.

"Nor have I met you." A soft voice interrupted from behind them both. Jackie stepped into the moonlight, watching the shimmers on the ground as it bounced off her glassy like skin. She smiled, but did not extend her hand to the boy, for fear her icy touch would startle him.

She merely stuffed her hands further into her pockets. "I apologize if I was interrupting a conversation." She recovered looking at their expressions. "I could go..." She whispered even softer, her voice tinkling like a windchime.

[Miss Xantier]

(Can I join you guys?)

[Seth Lockhart]

((Yes you may. There is no need to ask.))

Seth was startled by the two students who had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. He swallowed when he realized that they were girls. He had always gotten nervous and anxious around them. He shoved his hands into his pockets swiftly and gazed up at the moon, his dark forest green eyes shining in the light.

"No. I'm afraid we haven't." Seth said. He looked back at Stacey and pulled one hand out of his pocket, entending it toward her. "My name is Landon. But I prefer you call me Seth. Seth Lockhart." He said with a perfect shining smile.
  "I've been here since my first year, but perhaps we've just haven't crossed paths until this moment." He suggested quietly, keeping his cool. He turned to the other girl, Jackie. He didn't offer his hand, assuming she wanted her hands to stay in her pockets, so instead he gave her a polite smile. "No. I can't say I have. And no, you didn't interrupt."

Jackie smiled, keeping her mouth closed though, not wanting to show her teeth. She didn't want to scare a boy quite yet, she thought laughing a bit to herself. "Hm.. Where are my manners?" She said with a tiny trace of a laugh. "I'm Jackie, Nice to meet you Seth."

[Seth Lockhart]

Seth bowed gracefully, deciding that it would replace the handshake. "The pleasure is mine." He said, then returned back to his standing position. He smiled at the two girls, still shy. "Er...have you both been here the whole time?" He asked nervously. It must have looked strange to see a boy staring at the moon while people remained indoors.

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

Jackie stifled a laugh and curtsied low to the ground, which was quite hard, considering the jeans she was wearing. "Hm.. If you mean, have I been just watching you the whole time?, then no... but if you refer to the fact that I was outside, then yes. I was taking care of a few... er... things." She said grasping for the right words.

[Miss Xantier]

Walking into the room, seeing three unknown people. Isabelle walked to see that it was 2 girls and a boy. He seemed to be watching the moon. Walking over to them, she said "Hello, I don't think I know any of you. But you might of heard of me, during the sorting. I'm a first year. I'm Isabelle." walking over to the lake, where the moon reflecting off the water. She grabbed some rocks, and started skipping them across the water.

((*Cough* Were outside not in a room...  ;) ))

[Seth Lockhart]

"I see." Seth said quietly, nodding a little. He crossed his arms and looked at the three girls, studying every detail about them. "I see, Miss Jackie, that you are the more talkative one of this bunch." He said with a humorous smile. He looked from Stacey to Isabelle. "Nice to meet you Isabelle." Seth said, after she spoke. He smiled at her then looked back at Jackie. "Um..what house are you in?" He asked bashfully. It was hard for him to get to know people sometimes. Girls had that effect on him.

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

"Yes, I am quite vocal." Jackie admitted, looking at the ground, blushing when he called her 'Miss Jackie'.  "I'm a Gryffindor, and you?" She replied, looking at him, her blue eyes curious.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey smiled. "I haven`t been here the whole time either." Her eyes sparkled a mischevious purple. "And once you get to know me, you will see that I am also quite the talker." Stacey said. Then, not knowing who the question was directed to, answered the house question. "I`m in Gryffindor." She shifted her weight to her other foot nervously.

((And just to let you know, Stacey likes attention, but she isn`t an attentionholic or anything like that.))

[Miss Xantier]

"I'm in Gryffindor, and I'm pround of that!" said Isabelle smiling. Seeing a black kitten running towards her, "Jinx!" yelled Isabelle. Grabbing the kitten.

(hehe, Stacey is in love!)

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

((No.. Shes in love with NATE! Makes kissy face  :-* ))

Jackie looked at Isabelle and raised her eyebrows smiling. She put her hand over her mouth to stifle a laugh. Her laughs were so high pitched, they were embarassing.
