Letters To No One

[Samantha]

Samantha had wandered up to the owlery to look around and watch the owls. She came up here every so often, but why? She had no one to write to. Maybe it was to convince herself that one day she would have someone to write to, or to convince others she had someone to write to. She brushed away a tear that had escaped her eye. No crying Miss Samantha, it will get you no where.. she scolded herself internally. She didn't see anyone around, but that didn't mean no one was there.

She sat over by a window, looking out to the sky. She wished hard by that window, she wished for someone who cared, about her.

[Shazza]

Shazza climbed the winding staircase up to the Owlery with a letter in each hand: one to her muggle family, and the other to her world- travelling wizard grandfather, Pappy.
She had to write to them periodically, or else her family would worry; her Pappy however, would go to such the extreme as to storm over here and remind her to write.
Sighing, she finally reached the top and entered the Owlery, to discover that it had one other occupant, who had yet to notice her.
This occupant was sitting by a window staring out into space, with what seem to Shazza as the saddest expression she had ever seen.
Calling down one of the school owls, she tied both letters to it's leg and told it where to go, then went to the window to where the mystery girl sat and sent out the owl.
After a moment of silence, Shazza decided to speak.
"So, what's wrong?"

[~Persephone~]

Persephone wandered up to the owlery. She rather liked being up there, even if she wasn't going to send a letter. Today, though, she was sending one to her twin sister. It was neither a happy letter or a sad one. Just a letter to tell them that she was a live. Not that it would disappoint her sister if she wasn't.
As Persephone reached the last stair she hear someone whisper something. Cautiously she entered the owlery to see one very sad girl, and one other girl speaking to her. She walked towards them.
"Are you ok?" She hesitated again. Perhaps she shouldn't have said anything, that sad girl was one she recognized from the common room. It was only right to ask what was wrong.

[Samantha]

Sam looked up, she felt dumb for letting people see her like this.
"Oh..well...It's nothing really, thank you for asking.." She said wipeing a tear away and told her self not to let another one fall.

"Samantha, that's me...by the way..."

[Shazza]

"I'm Shazzamyn, but everyone calls me Shazza. Nice to meet you, Samantha." Shazza said with a kind smile. "And I highly doubt it's nothing, considering that something must have drove you to cry." she added gently. She looked up at the girl who had just entered the Owlery, and nodded at her in acknowledgement.

[~Persephone~]

Persephone nodded to both and her silver blonde hair danced around her.
"I'm Persephone...and nothing's alright if you're crying. You can tell me, I'll understand." She sat her small frame down next to the other two girls. She was shorter than both of them. Her caring green eyes burned into Sam's eyes.

[Samantha]

(ooc: our characters look just alike, sort of, mine has white hair and green eyes!! )

BIC:
"I don't know..I mean, I have been here a while, a few months, and still, I don't have many friends, no boyfriend, I feel like an outsider, ya know? Its just like being different, people stare at me..." She said feeling better once she had said it aloud. "I am sorry I didn't mean to just sort of blabber all that out.."

[~Persephone~]

(OOC: Blonde hair and green eyes seems to be quite common for Ravenclaws. )

"I know how you feel. When I first came, I had no one. I was too shy to talk to any one and I practically lived in the library. I feared our common because I didn't know any one there. And boyfriends, well, they were something I was too busy to ever have."
Persephone smiled a watery smile. She understood where Sam came from. How many times had she wondered if she belonged? Surely there were too many times to recount.

[Samantha]

Sam gave a small smile. "Thanks. Heh, I mean, I know how trivial this all must seem. I guess I just sort of let ot get to me." She admitted.

[~Persephone~]

Persephone shrugged. "It happens to all of us...at least sometime in our life. Some time's it's ok to let it get to you though." She smiled.
Trivial or not, Persephone knew hurt and she knew what it did to people.

[Samantha]

"Th-thanks." She said hugging both of the girls. "You guys wanna go down to Hogsmeade or somethin?" She asked, wondering if maybe they wanted to get out as much as she did.

[~Persephone~]

(OOC: I like the new Signature!)

BIC: "Sounds like a good idea to me. Hmm...do you guys like jokes?" Persephone's eyes were lit with mischeif. She pulled herself up off the ground and looked down at the two girls still sitting.
"Did you guys realize that you're a lot taller than me?" She smiled to lighten the mood.

[Samantha]

"Jokes! Of course, wow, your short...I mean that in a nice way!" She said, trying to tell her that she didn't mean that as it sounded. "I really hope your not offended, I didn't mean to make that come out the way it did!"

[Samantha]

(ooc: THANKS!!!!)

[~Persephone~]

(OOC: no problem)

BIC: Persephone smiled. She was used to being the shortest one, and she looked at it as her own personal advantage. She could fit into the hiding places the other pranksters couldn't.
"It's ok, you weren't being rude. You were telling the truth, which is that I'm incredibly short." Her green eyes danced with silent laughter.
