Stars and new moons.

[Fae Van Vorst]

Fae Van Vorst stepped casually into the tower and up the steps until her dark blue eyes were greeted by the dark and moonless night. It was peaceful, she could see almost every constellation she remembered from class, and then some.

Fae took a seat, face still bent upwards, and almost lost her balance until she grabbed a nearby rail and caught her breath.

"Okay, won't make that mistake again," she murmured softly. She took out her wand and whispered 'Lumos', bathing the ground in a warm glow and taking a safer seat so she could admire the stars.

[Sin]

ooc: If this is an invite or anything, just give me the word and to the deletion pile it goes....oh, and sorry for over-using my sub-char. lol...I'm a bit eccetric

bic: It was still an hour before curfew at Magical Horizons. Samantha(Sin) Aspen put the finishing touches to a tri-colored potion and, wiping her hands on a pumpkin-plastered apron, the third- year student stood back and watched Matt, the eager herbalist. He was lining choice vegetative ingredients on the window ledge to set, his anxious hands selecting the ones that were ready and replacing them with those fresh from his harvest. Sin poured out two cups of the pumpkin-juice she had saved earlier that morning.

"Tell me why were doing this again."

The young boy made his way over," Because I need the help, this potions assignment is too d**n hard....besides, you offered to help. Ah, pumpkin juice...how wonderfully exquisite."

They sat listing the fare they had made, sipping slowly.

"Newt tails and grounded tree bark, pumpkin mold, beazles, and a couple of Bertie Bott's every flavor beans. That should be enough Sin, righ..*Shuffle shuffle*..hey...What was that?"

The cheery brunette restrained Matt from rising, gesturing for silence," Relax, probably just some stray owl...best return it to the owlery...c'mon, let's go check it out,"

Matt chuckled, shaking his head," No way, I'm not going up there and getting myself eaten by some..some crazed boggart,"

Sin ignored the remark and continued her ascent up the tower steps," Suit yourself...you little boggart obsessed pixie,"

The girl moved on, higher into the tower, shaking cobwebs and calling aloud as she moved in a northward sweep. Off in the opposite direction to Matt's strangled curses.

"Hey, is anyone up here," she called, looking about quizzically

[Fae Van Vorst]

OOC: No problems here. I tend to post threads and just leave them to linger until someone gives them a try.

IC: Fae started, looking away from the sky and in the direction of where the voice had come from. She pushed her blonde hair out of her dark blue eyes and got on her knees in order to be taller, calling back, "Yes, there is some here. May I inquire as to who is asking?"

She grabbed a part of the stone wall and pulled herself up into a standing position, leaning against the cold flagstone and looking around expectantly.

[Sin]

Sin heard and acknowledged with a wave of her wand. Leaping up the stairs two at a time, she dragged herself along, smiling and waving about," Thank goodness... you had me scared for a moment there,"

Laughing happily she ran to wards the blurred figure, hands outstretched,"Hey there, I can't tell you how glad I am that you're a student and not some crazy monster. Heh heh, now there's a stroke of luck"she replied, her discolored gaze fusing with that of a vivid blue," I'm Sin by the way....sorry that I had to ambush you like that"

[Fae Van Vorst]

Fae laughed heartily, "Well, of course I'm not a monster, though I understand why you thought that. I'm Fae, and no problem."

Fae smiled, dark eyes twinkling in the moonlight.

[Sin]

"Oh, yeah sorry about that whole monster gig. I'm a bit of a scaredy cat as you can see"replied Sin.

But in truth, there was something a bit different about Fae, a sort of paleness under the skin. She was tall for her age (or so Sin assumed)- and thin too. But her eyes were a deep, startling blue, and they seemed too old for the rest of her face

"It's still...a pleasure to meet you though Fae." she added, recovering her aplomb

[Fae Van Vorst]

"Of course," Fae smiled at her, then suddenly looked away, eyes growing darker as she surveyed their surroundings in suspicion. She shook her head, eyes brightening and she smiled in her usual slightly less intelligent way.

"So, why'd you come up to the tower at such a late hour, especially when you're such a... scaredy cat," she laughed cheerfully.

[Sin]

The young Grffindor shook her head ruefully," I came here to help a friend of mine on his potion's assignment....though....I suspect he's gone by now"she added, hiding a slight snigger

A smile hovered above Sin's face. That would soon to be replaced by a beaming grin as her chuckles turned into rib-quaking laughter

"Ahahaha! Old Mattie had a face on him like a ornery owl when we heard you up here. Thought you were boggart....he did"she replied, turning her eyes skyward in helpless mirth.

[Fae Van Vorst]

"Ah, well I suppose that proves who's the braver one," Fae replied, twirling a lock of her own hair and around her long pale finger.

Soon she started laughing as well, the amusement contagious, and she was soon clutching her ribs and trying to breathe properly.
