It was Noriko's second day at MH, and she was still not feeling at home just yet. While exploring the school this morning, she came across an iced over lake and snow capped mountains near the school. She couldn't believe she would see something this beautiful. Noriko walked out to the lake and stood close to the edge of it. She looked down at the thick frozen lake and saw nothing moving beneath it. The whole thing was frozen solid.
Just then she got an idea, it might be a dangerous one or a crazy one but she wanted to try it. She wore some soft soled shoes today, perfect for what she was about to do. Noriko stepped one foot onto the ice and put her weight on it carefully. When she was successful, she did the same with the other foot. Noriko was now fully on the ice, there was no cracking or anything. She walked out further on the thick ice and held her hands behind her back. Her long, grey, fur coat brushed against her heels.
The sunrise was playing at the lake as it came and it was a most calming mood. She had never gotten the opportunity to do this before and she was loving it. She walked out nearly to the center of the lake and watched the sunrise, finding her inner peace. There was no one around to her knowledge and she liked it that way most of the time. She had no time to herself at home at all. This moment she would keep close to her heart, this was her moment alone.

Ganesa had come up to the lake to find a girl carefully stepping out onto the lake and the girl looked like the girl wanted some time to herself, so she just stood by the edge and watched as she sttof there and enjoyed the time to herself.

Persephone had decided to come back down to the Lake. It seemed to be a good place to just sit and think...and maybe that was what she needed right now. She just wanted to have a chance to look at the frozen waves, and know that at least there was little chance that she would be dragged away from the sincerity of the Lake.
Persephone walked out of the castle, her long silver blonde hair dancing around her small frame. Her emerald eyes were deep, but light still shun in the deep depths. Even though she wasn't smiling, you got the impression that she usually was. She stood at the height of five foot, and most people wouldn't have guessed that she was sixteen. Most people thought of her as much younger.
When Sephe neared the Lake, she saw another sitting in the middle. Not that that was really that odd. It might have been cold, but it was a beautiful scene this early in the morning. The white of snow and the frozen Earth, didn't seem that cold during the sunrise.
Persephone didn't know this girl, but still, she didn't want to turn back. Instead she smiled, neared the ice, and then tred softly on it. Her small body made it across to the other without faltering. She had done this quite a few times, and gone ice skating enough to keep her balance.
"Hey, I'm Persephone, or as most people call me, Sephe. Mind if I join you?"

As Ganesa stood there watching the girl, someone else came up to the girl and started talking to her. She couldn't tell who it was and wasn't sure if she knew her, she wasn't even sure that she had actually heard her say anything.

Noriko's trance that she had fell into just from the mere beauty of the place, was shaken out of concentration when someone had spoken to her. " .....Hi, Sephe. I don't mind if you join me, I don't own the lake..." She said with a friendly smirk at the girl. Noriko had only been here two days and she was attracting all kinds of people already. They all seemed to be people she'd get along with, and she was happy with that. Noriko was the oldest of 7 children and she didn't seem to like the company of another too much. Mainly because she never could have any time to herself.
Being around a couple people here, she could tell that there would be good people here and bad one's. Nori looked behind them and saw another girl sitting at the lakes' edge alone and made a curious frown. " Hey!" She called to her, "You don't have to sit back there alone, come join us!" She figured why not? It would be pretty cold of her to invite one person to come over and not the other. Though if she developed a disliking to her or the other, she would surely leave or ask them to. So far, everything was "peachy keen."
Nori turned her attention back to the rising sun, not waiting to see if the girl had excepted her offer. It would be her choice if she didn't. Noriko knew that Sephe would want to know her name so, she just let it roll out of her mouth. "....Noriko, my name is..." She said almost quietly and hesitantly.

Persephone turned to face the other that Noriko had called out to. The girl was familiar, and Persephone immediatly knew that it was Ganesa. She was a new Ravenclaw sixth year, and even though Persephone hadn't had the chance to talk to Ganesa one on one, well now was her chance. Though, she'd let Ganesa decide if she wanted to come and join them. She didn't want to pressure her into anything, and plus, it wasn't for her to decide. Surely every person had the right to decide who they talked to, and maybe there was a reason why Persephone and Ganesa had never had the chance to talk. Maybe it was just because they had not time, maybe it was because Ganesa was avoiding her. Who could really say.
Persephone took a seat beside Noriko. The other seemed glad to have her join her company, but was slightly reserved. Still, that was how many people in the castle were, and she really couldn't blame them. Especially with what was happening these days... No, people were allowed to build walls, and they were allowed to break them down too.
The sun set slowly. The colors were still that of the day, and there was plently of time for it to make its way below the horizon. She had nothing better to do, and she'd be beyond happy to find something to take away some of the boredom. Even better yet, she had the ability to just...just watch something.
When Noriko told her her name, she smiled. It was a pretty name, though the girl was hesitant as she spoke. But that was human, wasn't it? You only got one name, and that was all. It was you, probably more then most people actually understood.
"That's a pretty name. What origin is it?"

Noriko was suprised that someone actually liked her name. She looked over at Sephe with a half smile. " Thank you. My name is Japanese, as am I. I'm from....Okinawa." She said not really minding sharing her personal info with Sephe, after all, it was only her name and where she was from. Nori didn't intend to share too much about herself though, her mother had always taught her the ways of self-discretion.
Now that her newly found aquaintance sort of had an advantage over her, Noriko decided to make things equal. You know, "fair". "So Sephe, where are you from?" She asked looking out at the new morning glow that had came upon them shortly after Noriko had told Sephe a little about herself. Not knowin where this smal-talk would get her, she enjoyed the moment anyway. Noriko was used to living, 'Carpe Deim'. But secretly of course. Living for the moment wasn't always a good thing but it kept Noriko's life nothing short of exciting.
You wouldn't be able to tell her life was exciting by the way she would talk to you, but you had to spend at least a week with her first to see the truth. Noriko was deep in thought while she awaited Sephe's answer. She wondered what new adventures she would have here and how her family was doing.

Ganesa heard one of the girls call out to her and invite her to join them out on the lake. Ganesa had thought going out there anyway and this was just the right thing to hear. She went over to the two girls and realized that one of them was Sephe, but she didn't know the other one.
As she had been coming up to them, she heard something about Japanese and decided that they were talking about the other girl and maybe where she was from. "Hi, I'll be glad to join you two." Hoping that she hadn't startled either one of them.

Persephone eyes turned to face Noiko as she spoke. The other had told her the origin and where she was from, but she seemed hesitant to give any other information. Not that Persephone blamed her. Some people here would use all the information that they could against you. You just had to know how to trust, and how much to tell people. Other than that, every one else responded quite happily to talking to people.
"Well, I'm originally from Germany, but I grew up in Brighton. It's a nice town, not too small, nor too big. It was a great place, and the orphanage was truly beautiful there. People always got along great."
She smiled slightly, and then turned to hear Ganesa join them. That was good. She really did want to know everyone in her house, and she really was a nice person. The only times that people had ever seen her angry was when she was deprived of her coffee, dragged out of her beloved library, or told she could not practice Quidditch.
ooc: Sorry for the awful post. I'm sick and it's wearing off on my posts.

Ganesa had been listening to their conversation and she thought she had figured out what they were talking about but wasn't sure so she decided to listen a little while longer. While she was listening, she thought about how she didn't know what the other girl's name was.
"I'm sorry to interrupt what you two were talking about. Hi, Sephe." she said to Sephe. "I know you probably already said your name, but I didn't quite hear what is was." asking the other girl.

OOC: *Cheers and claps for Sephe* I admire your dedication to posting ^_^ You post even when you are sick ;D. sorry I took so long, stupid stupid school work and projects......
IC: Nori looked over at the girl who had just joined them and gave her a small smile to welcome her. "Don't worry, you're fine. You weren't interupting." She said not wanting her to feel like an intruder. Noriko clutched her warm coat as the wind blew a little feircely at them. Her long purple hair blowing with the wind.
So far she had met three cool people who appeared a lot like herself, which she admired. Krista Degloria, Sephe, and now this girl who had just joined her and Sephe. Though this girl seemed a bit different, very quiet. "My name's Noriko, What's yours 'quiet one'?" She asked with a joking giggle in her voice. Noriko would be the one to talk to if you needed a laugh, or just some common cruel but funny sarcasm.

Ganesa had noticed that the other girl had pulled her coat closed and only then did she realize that it was cold. She had on a coat but it wasn't very warm, considering the weather. What had she been thinking when she put it on? Oh, well, she was here now and listened intently, so as not to forget the girl's name was Noriko.
"I'm Ganesa, but you're right I am a 'quiet one', I usually don'y say much at all unless in the company of good friends, as I hope we can be." Said ganesa also laughing a little at Noriko's joke, yet truth.

Noriko was glad to say the least that Ganesa found humor from her little joke. "Friends? We'll see soon enough won't we?" She said sounding like one of those people who speak in mystery. Noriko then spaced herself from them giving her just enough room to spin around in a circle on the skate-worthy ice of the lake.
She wasn't afraid of falling but she was sure that if she fell hard enough she'd crack the ice if only slightly. Noriko got into her skating and just started skating in different spots around the lake but still near the girls.

"Yes I'm sure we will," said Ganesa. She stood and watched Noriko as she started skating in circles. Ganesa wasn't much of a skater, not that she didn't like it, she did, it's just that she couldn't do it very well. Ganesa loved ice and everything else about it, just not the falling part.
