Reading by the Lake

[Celeste Lupin]

A girl with somewhat past shoulder length brown hair sat under a tree by the lake with her golden brown eyes intent on a book in front of her. The girl wore her black robes, even though she was outside and all, and the telltale patch on the front identified her as a Ravenclaw student. The girl was a fourth year and her name was Celeste Lupin.

The book she was reading was one on mythology, which was one of her favorite subjects of reading. She could often be seen reading a book of that genre when at home in the Lupin household. This was one of the things that she had inherited from her father. From her mother she had inherited the metamorphosing ability. Sinc e she was still young, this ability was not at its strongest just yet. If she was ever really angry, or really upset, her appearance would change spontaneously.

Celeste looked up at the waters of the lake, a peaceful look on her face. The waters were serene with an occasional tentacle brushing the surface of the water. The signs of the giant squid. She wondered if anyone was around at the moment. She didn't see her older sister Kenzie. She was the second Lupin child to attend Hogwarts, and though this was the fact, she was proud to be attending.

Putting her finger in the page she had been reading, she continued staring at the waters of the lake.[/size][/color]

[Aleksandra Krum]

Aleksandra had been silently reading a book. She was sitting in a rather large tree and needed to study. She yawned and rolled her eyes." Gosh reading is so boring." She said aloud. She looked around and noticed someone. They appeared to be younger than her. She jumped down from the tree and sat on the grass. " Hello I'm Aleksandra." She said, you could hear her accent clearly.

[Celeste Lupin]

"Reading's not boring." Celeste commented, though she did still smile when Aleksandra introduced herself. "Hi. I'm Celeste. I don't think reading's boring, but I guess that's one thing I inherited from my father. His love of reading. Well, reading isn't the only thing I do. I will be playing Quidditch this year. I practice at home."

Celeste pulled a lock of her brown hair behind one ear as she closed her book and placed it next to her on the grass.[/size][/color]

[Aleksandra Krum]

"Quidditch?" Aleksandra said. " I love quidditch. You are looking at Hufflepuff Captain and chaser. My dad is a known as the greatest seeker who ever lived." She said smiling." My dad is Krum, Viktor Krum." She smiled. She was so proud of her dad. He had taught her well," But I can play an position in quidditch. I'm a good seeker, but I let Tanner Boot be the seeker this year." She said and looked towards the goal posts." Actually at last practice Tanner adn I were both seekers hunting for the snitch. I ended up breaking my wrist and he had a few scratches. He pushed me out of the way of a bludger and we both fell to the ground." She said and laughed.

[Celeste Lupin]

Celeste smiled again. "Well, I'm not a Captain or a Chaser, but I am the Keeper for the Ravenclaw team. I plan to lead my house to victory. Well, I know you'd say the same thing for Hufflepuff because of a person's pride in their house." She said with a knowing look on her face.

"Wow, that sounded like it hurt a lot! I've sprained my ankle before playing football in Spain, but I've never broken a bone. I do know that the seeker is the mostly targeted player, and probably to one who ends up with the most broken bones."[/size][/color]

[Autumn Smith]

Aleksandra had a puzzled look on her face," Football?" She asked. Her dad had never told of ehr the sport... f it was a sport. " It didn't hurt much. I take pain very well. Being Bulgarian has its advantages. I hardly notice much pain." She said and smirked. She looked out at the lake.

"Let's see...football is what American muggles call soccer." Celeste said, but she wasn't sure that Aleksandra would know. "It's a sport played on the ground with an inflated ball that is often white with black hexagonal shapes. There are at least ten players on the field: the three forwards and sometimes their wings, the three midfielders, the three defenders, the goalkeeper, and the sweeper who stands in front of the goalkeeper. Think of the sweeper as an extra defense for the goal and goalkeeper." She continued. "The rest is much more complicated, I don't think I can get into all the details..."[/size][/color]
