Aurora Black stood at the top of the Astronomy Tower looking down at the grounds. It had been a long day, with lots of homework and new faces. Lady, she thought, I miss my sister. So she did what her and her sister used to do together. She transformed into a phoenix. But her feathers were white, not red. She still hadn't perfected her Animagi skills. Stretching her wings, she leapt from the wall, soaring into the navy sky. Looking down at the Forbidden Forest and the Lake, she saw some students. Fearful that she might be spotted, she went back the Astonomy Tower and circled it.

Barnett Lee leaned his elbows across the black rails of the Tower, peering out at the circling phoenix. He was only in half uniform. A regular tee shirt beneath his tie and robes. Jeans. Barefoot. While his facade was cool, inwardly he felt a jolt of childish excitement. He was hunched over, terrible terrible posture, but inwardly he was nearly hopping from foot to foot. He wasn't sure if he had actually seen it - but he must have! He highly doubted it possible to lose one's sanity in a matter of seconds.
So he waited in most silence, the wind slicking his black hair off of his neck.
Tracing shapes on the railing, he ran over what he had just seen. Going up to the Astronomy Tower to see a girl in the middle of a complex transformation...into a white phoenix, and then she had leapt from the place in what he could only assume was a dramatic leap of faith. And then the wings stretched, magnificently, and away she went. He couldn't have dreamed of such luck!

Fuu walked up to the Astro tower to get some freshed air. She walked up to see a boy hanging over the railing. She sighed and walked over to him. Her excited expression faded to find who the boy was. "Oh it you" she muttered to herself. SHe leaned over the railing to come face to face with him.
Trying to be polite she asked, "Hey whatcha doing?"

Barnett glanced sideways, a look of admiration still breezing over his face. Though, when he recognised the girl, his face hardened. For whatever reason, the same words tumbled from his rough lips. "Oh. It's you."
He frowned. Sighed. "Look. It's not my aim to be completely ill gentleman-like, but must you be here? There's something potentially very interesting going on, and you're obnoxiousness may just ruin it for me."
His tone was snobby as he leaned forward again, trying to spot the streak of the white phoenix in the sky.

Fuu looked of joy turned into one of extreme irritation. She paused and rolled her eyes. As she walked toward Barnett she said, "I'm not going to ruin anything-could you try not to get your panties in a twist just beacuse your standing next to a girl?" She walked over to the railing. Not seeing anything she leaned over.
She looked over at Barnett and thought, "What's wrong with this guy......did his mommy and daddy beat him too much?" She smiled to herself, "Or maybe not enough..." Still seeing nothing she leaned father over the edge so far her feet weren't touching the ground. She turned so she could see the sky. All of a sudden a white phenoix came swooping over head.
"Whoa," she said, suprised. "What's a white phoenix doing here?!?"

"A girl and an extreme annoyance to society are two different things." He paused and sent her a sly look. "Well, usually."
Hooking the bottoms of his dirty jeans around the heels of his bare feet, he didn't answer Fuu's second question, thinking that it was most likely rhetorical. He didn't care much for their conversation either way. If she would insist on staying to pester him, he would at least do his best to ignore her presence. He leaned farther, black hair hanging down his face to reach a pointed mark on his chin. He sighed, trying to get a good glimpse again.
But, after a moment of internal struggle, he murmured, "I saw a girl transform. Into that. Beautiful, no?"

Fuu looked very suprised. He was actually talking like he was nice or somthing. Actually making nice people words. She smiled, she was proud. She leaned to his side
"Yes, but how do you thnk she turned white?" she asked. Her red hair was foward in her face then she tucked it be hind her ears and look a little confused.

"Your query is precisely why I am waiting here for her to return." Barnett told her simply, glancing sideways and trying to hide a surprised expression. They appeared to be getting along. This will not last, he soothed himself.
He paused thoughtfully for a moment. "What're you doing here? Were you planning on having a melodramatic cry over past loves and dead mum's, or what? Surely you weren't just planning on enjoying the view." His casual expression twitched up into a leer.

Fuu smiled out of amusement of Barnett's reaction. She tried her hardest not to laugh. Fuu leaned over the edge almost falling, then she popped back.
"For your information Mr. Lee i have never loved anyone and i have never had a mum. But if you feel the need to have a melodramatic cry, go right ahead."
She looked over the edge and her hair fell forward again it was starting to annoy her so she took a hair-tie from her wrist and put her red hair in a ponytail. Due to the absence of a mirror it was bumpy.

"Nah," Barnett said, the sound coming from a deep rumble in his throat.
He glanced at her again, his ears pricking back the way a dog does when he hears something in the distance. Watching the art of a girl tying back her hair, he felt a tinge of nostalgia. Which, of course, he pushed to the back of his head. And to cover up this moment's soft spot, he drew the ever-baiting sneer to his lips."Ah. You don't have a mum." He nodded seriously, pushing invisible spectacles back on the bridge of his nose. "Is that what you plan to use as your crutch?"
His elbow already on the railing, he cupped his head in his palm, tilted slightly to one side. He wanted to be able to read her oncoming expression to his words.

Aurora finished circling the tower and landed on the floor. Snatching up the necklace that she had discarded, she hopped to wall. Looking out onto the grounds, she thought of what her sister would be doing at that moment. A single tear fell down her cheek, and she deftly caught it in the vial on her necklace. More soon followed.
When the vial was full, she poked in the cap and set it on the wall. Transforming back into a human girl, she put on the necklace and donned the veil she always wore before and after she transformed. Turning to leave, she stiffened in surprise.

"No, its not a good enough reason to be-" she cut herself off as the White falcon landed and transformed into a girl.
Fuu was even in more shock than before she froze as well and pointed at the girl. "Whoa, maybe i should attened classes more often so i can do that!" she said a loud. Realizing what she had no she nervously smiled a laughed.
"That was quite rude of me!!! Hah. Hah. Hah." she blushed and frowned, "I am sorry...." she said to the girl bowing.

Barnett stifled a chuckle at Fuu's bow. He himself merely tilted his head at Aurora in greeting.
What really caught his eye was the vial clenched in the girl's hand. He held his tongue when he would usually complain and taunt about ridiculous melodrama. It was a hard task for him to curb his words, and quite often he was thought of as offensive and insensitive. But he knew that if he were to get anything out of the girl, he would have to be a bit more respectful.
"Hullo," he said slowly, stepping promptly in front of Fuu and sticking a hand out to Aurora. "I didn't mean to startle you. My name is Barnett."

Barnett stepped infront of Fuu as she was leaing up after bowing. She gave him a sharp glare to the back of his head. Quickly she walked from behind him and stood beside him.
Fuu out her hands in front of her and laced her fingers together. "Yes i am really am sorry, i can be a little...odd sometimes." she showed the girl a warm smiled the quickly turned to Barnett and stuch her tounge out.

Barnett didn't turn to Fuu, though it was obvious by his shifting that he had seen her actions. For a moment his smile tightened into a gritting of teeth before he was able to relax.
His hand still hovering in the air to formally greet Aurora, he couldn't help but add slyly, "Yes dear. We know you're a bit odd. But doesn't it undermine the fact of your oddities to take every other occasion to point out said oddities? That in itself, if not odd, is frankly irritating. Please. You're in the company of mature individuals. Would it kill to act like a lady?"
