Al walked down to the lake, and slumped down under a tree, taking out a book in the process.
"Interesting book?" Ginny asked, appearing beside him. She appeared with no sound, for she had long ago learned how to transport, a diffrent way of traveling than apperation.
Her bright red hair was pulled into a loose pony tail, and she wore a black t shirt and jeans. She was technically off duty today, and she looked it. She was relaxed, to a point, and looked well rested, for once in her life.
"I've read better," Al said, not looking up.
"How've you been, Ginny?" he asked.
It had been a while since he had seen her.
"I've been better." Ginny answered, slowly. She was thinking of all the paperwork and problem students.
The she smiled, softly, "But I've been worse, too." She nodded at him.
"How have you been?"
"I'm good. Just reading, like usual.... I left for a while, but now I'm back..." he said with a sigh.
"I'm guessing that paperwork is mounting higher and higher?" he asked, laughing.
Last time he saw it, it was massive.
*sirius was wondering around the grounds, not exactly lost, but lost for a place to go.*
*he spotted someone with flowing red hair and recognised her at once as ginny. he walked down beside her and noticed al there as well.* hey you guys. *he said happily, for he had found somewhere to be. he sat down on the slightly wet grass and started pulling single blades of grass up boredly at a time.* how are you both today? *he said not looking up.*
Cho suddenly jumped down from a branch. "I'm fine thank you..." She said cheerfully to lighten the mood.
Ginny smiled at Sirius and Cho, then nodded at Al.
"Yes, a continuous mountain that I can never seem to try to brave to the top." She laughed, lightly.
Cho sat there looking dazed and confused. She then laid down on a blanket she quickly conjured up looking up at the clouds.
"Well, if you need help with it, just ask. Maybe we'll get around the treeline."
He continued reading his book.
Ginny smirked at him and nodded.
"Of course." She told him, looking out across the lake.
Al turned to the next page: 394.
((.....))
Cho laughed and said,"Al....I wonder when I'm going to see you without a book....."
ha that'll be the day! *sirius said smiling and looking at al uninterestingly.*
"Ah, it's not that big of a thing. You might.... If I get booked for a whole day, I wouldn't have time for one. Or if I get stuck at my job...."
Al turned to the next page.
"Oh, and Sirius, you shouldn't leave sentances hanging like that. Anyone could think up some pretty wierd stuff to finish it for you. Like I already thought of some.... akward.... ones...."
*sirius jumped up and walked over to where cho was and jumped in the tree next to her.* i'll just stay up here with normal people al! if you dont mind! *he said smiling, he loved to sarcastically aggravate people like this. it was his streangth.*
Ginny raised her eyebrows, and gently pushed Al's arm, making him fall over.
"Getting the high and mighty complex now?" She said, smirking at him.
Cho shook and laughed at her friends just playing around so freely.
Al lost balance and calmly fell on the side.
He grabbed the branch with his left hand, still reading the book in his right.
"No, not really," he said, laughing.
"Nice try, though, Ginny."
*sirius smiled.* now ginny, i just realized, i don't know that much about you! where do you work for instance? i've always heard people talking of your job, but i've never exactly understood what it was.
"Ginny....ha she works in various places....last time I saw Ginny...Ginny was working at the Ministry..."
oh i see. *smiles at cho.* where do you work now, GINNY?
"I have three jobs, actually." Ginny smiled, "Technically, I have more, but those three are actual jobs."
oh i see. *sirius folded his arms.*
"What, she beat you in the number of jobs you're working?" he asked, letting go of the tree.
Cho laughed and said,"I don't think Sirius has time for a job..."
"Nah, he's too busy trying to screw around with Draco," he said.
"Why're you guys in trees? The tree is my thing....."
Cho laughed and jumped down from the tree branch.
(am i in a tree? i cant remember lol)
*sirius chuckled at the remark that al had made towards draco* ha, you're right. i dont need a job anyway. when my mom died and my dad went off somewhere, i got a lot of gold. so if i wanted, i wouldnt have to work for the rest of my boring life!
"I really want to be useful in the magical world...ahem Sirius...."
"I have more than enough money, now. Variouse reasons, my jobs being at the bottom...but I work so I canm protect you students...." She told them, smirking. As corney as it was, it was true.
Cho nudged her and said playfully,"Now Ginny....don't get too corny on us......"
*sirius smiles at ginny and cho* eh, i'm planning to do something in the magical community....i'm training to bacome an auror to tell you the truth. *puts his hands in his pockets. and looks up at al. then back to cho* the only problem with that is...no one from the ministry...uh..knows, my, doggy habbits. *winks at cho.*
Cho shook her head and chuckled. She looked at them and explained,"....his wild side....."
"No one knows except your teacher who happens to be a psychic and happens to work in the Ministry...." Ginny said, smirking.
Cho laughed and said,"I don't think he knows which teacher it is.....he's also the slow one....."
*sirius had been looking around and he heard someone say 'the slow one.'* are you talking about me? *sirius looked from cho, to ginny, lost.*
Cho shook her head and laughed softly.
((wow nice job....LOL))
(lol)
what's so funny! *sirius said smiling at cho.*
Cho shrugged and said,"You tell me...."
*sirius smiled. he knew what they were talking about* your pretty funny....looking at least... *sirius sat on the wet grass.*
Cho shrugged, laughed and looked at Ginny and Al.
(haha, the've both died.)
*sirius began throwing pieces of bark that he found on the ground up to al. he was aiming for his book.*
((LOL....))
"Sirius stop it......"
*sirius smiled at cho. but met her gaze and stopped.* does he ever stop? reading i mean?
Al flicked the pieces of bark off of his precious book.
"Siruis, are you serious?" [Bad pun. XD]
"Well, I do stop reading... If I feel inclined. But... There's never really a reason to do anything else. I learn from books.... and would rather read a book than, say... Doing a class taught by Ginny."
He laughed at the last bit.
"Joking, Ginny...."
"Don't tell them that!" Ginny groaned, then laughing. She shook her head, still laughing. Al was a strange one, and sometimes he pulled a joke or two out of his hat.
"Tell them what?" asked Al, his voice sounding deadly serious.
"I'm just kidding. Anyway, how's work been, Ginny? By work, I mean... wel, pick a job."
"Ministry riding my as$ over something..the school needs more and more papers graded....and I get to laugh at people who get put in Azkaban..." Ginny shrugged, not really willing to talk about what she thought to be dreary jobs.
Al chuckled at the last one.
"Well, the papers one is easy.... Find Hermione, or someone who has a bunch of time on their hands and does almost nothing. They'll do it. Azkaban one.... everyone laughs at them, including me.... well, I don't have a job yet... So I don't have one to discuss...."
He looked up, his eyes blank.
Closing his book, he slid off of the tree, landing on his feet.
*sirius opened his mouth* oh my gosh! is it possible! did al just close a book! *sirius smiled.*
"Oi, Sirius. SHUT UP," Al said, laughing.
"And yes, I did put away my book..."
*sirius smiled at al. and started laughing a little.* so...what's the special occasion that you decided to come into the real world? out of a book?
"Hunger," he said, holding out his hand.
A plate of food, including his favorites, appeared.
*sirius licked his lips as he saw some foods on the plate that he liked. he pulled out his wand and a dog treat appeared! he smiled and ate it happily.*
Cho softly laughed and a plate appeared too with some delicious food.
*sirius smiled as everyone ate all of there favorite things.*
((not everyone....you forgot about Ginny....))
"Ginny you want to eat too....it seems like we're all hungry...."
Ginny shook her head, "No. Not hungry." She said.
"You're never hungry when others are hungry are you?"
((Actually, I've been eating alot lately. I'm really skinny, so it's strange that I had 2 waffles, a 1 person pizza, half a hogie and a chicken sandwich in the pas 6 hours...))
Ginny shook her head, "No, not really." She said, making a slight face. "It takes away my appetite to watch others eat."
((wow amazing.....LOL.....we have something in common......LOL.... ;) ))
"Is it because of Sirius's rude eating manners?" Cho asked teasing Sirius.
*sirius smiled, with food still in his mouth...let's just say its not the best of pictures...

Cho looked away like she was about to vomit. "Trying to eat here you know...." She said annoyed.
((haha....LOL))
*sirius smiled and stuck out his tongue. letting the dog treat fall to the tip of his tongue.* now can you eat cho? *ha laughed and swallowed it.*
