Mike Blaze, a sixth year Ravenclaw sat with his back against one of the trees nearest to the edge of the lake. His legs resting, one over the other, his arms crossed at his chest, looking over the lake. Occasionally he looked to the surrounding lawns to see what other Hogwarts Students were out on this clear, sunny day. Mike, lost in thought for the moment, picked up a rock and chucked it into the water, the impact causing a disturbance in the water. He shook his head to bring himself back to reality for the moment, he picked up one of his books from his bag, a book about wolves, he flipped through it absent mindedly and then set it down and watched the lawns some more, seeing what student came out the door of the castle next.

Felicity smiled to herself as she walked out of the castle, the sun making her pause to blink away the dimness she had been in before. “Today’s nice…” She said to herself as she made her way down towards the lake, her eyes locked on the surface. Maybe I should swim… She thought as she reached the edge, and began her slow walk around the perimeter of the water, her eyes scanning the surroundings. She had been down to the lake a lot during her five, soon to be six years at Hogwarts, and well today was like any other day. That is until she spotted someone sitting under a tree just as she was passing it.
Oooh…someone to pester! She thought merrily as she made her way towards him, since well she figured out it was a guy. “Why hello there!” She said cheerily as she looked down at him, grinning.

Mike blinked a few times to clear away his thoughts, he looked up, "Oh hi. You're the first person I've seen that has actually come down to the lake today." he said. Mike knew from her robes that this girl had to be a Gryffindor, probably his year by the looks of her. He had seen her around, but didn't know her personally.

Felicity looked at the boy curiously, tilting her head from one side to the other. It seemed that she had disturbed him. “Oooh? I thought there’d be a lot of people out here today…” She said as she looked back towards the castle before turning back to him. I’ve seen him before.. She thought as she let her eyes take in his robes. Ahh, a Ravenclaw She thought with a small nod.
She smiled again and seated herself on the grass, knees drawn to her chest. “Well then since I’m the first, I might as well introduce myself” She said with a small nod. “I’m Felicity Hart” She said, “and yourself?”

"Mike Blaze" he said extending his hand to her. Mike thought from his first impression of her that this girl was one of those cheery, friendly types of girls, who even though they didn't know the person, they treated them kindly without even knowing them, which was a good quality for a person in his opinion. "So... you're a Gryffindor." he said kinda nodding, trying his best to think up first meeting conversation, "I've got very close friends who are Gryffindors... Never have minded them at all, just as long as you're not a Slytherin. Some of them can be, eh, you know, a little obnoxious, self centered, you know..." he said smirking, as he glanced upon a small group of third year Slytherins far off across the lawns.

Felicity gave him a big grin as she shook his hand briefly before wrapping her arms around her legs. “Nice to meet you Mike” She said, nodding. She nodded, her dark hair falling into her eyes for a moment before she batted it away. “Yep! And I take it you’re a Ravenclaw” She said, nodding to his robes. “Oh? Maybe I’ve met them….what are their names?” She asked. A small laugh escaped her lips at the talk of the Slytherins. “Aren’t all of the Slytherins like that at some point?” She asked.

"Yeah... I'm a Ravenclaw. A good few generations in my family were Ravenclaws actually, my parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and so on. Although, hoping my two younger sisters aren't in Ravenclaw, so they won't be around to bother me as much when they come to Hogwarts." he said shaking his head as he glanced down at his notebook that was halfway out of his bag with a photograph of his mother, father, his two younger sisters, and himself during their vacation to Austrailia, taped to it. "Anyways, yeah, a few close friends in Gryffindor, Audrey Hitchcock, I don't know if you're familiar with her or not." John's eyes kept glancing at the Slytherins, "Some Slytherins can be alright, but I must say, many of them are obnoxious. Then again, some of their thinking is alright in my books, with their whole grudge against Harry Potter, never was fond of him myself." He said, he never knew why he never liked Harry Potter, there was just something about him. "Don't take it in the wrong way," he added realising Harry Potter was in the same house as Felicity. "So... what classes have you signed up for this term so far?" he asked looking at her, noticing how blue her eyes were.
OOC: From your sig and avatar I take it your charrie's eyes are blue? If not then replace it with whatever color you intended them to be. Lol

Felicity nodded at his response. “My parents were in Gryffindor…and so was my moms parents but my dads were in Ravenclaw” She said. “Ha, I won’t have to worry about my brother being in Gryffindor, because he doesn’t go to Hogwarts…he decided to go to Dumstrang…” She said with a small shrug. She loved Simon, but sometimes he could really get on her nerves. “Nope, I don’t think I’ve met her yet..” She said. She caught his eyes moving towards a group of Slytherins sitting out on the lawns.
She arched an eyebrow. “I agree that some more than others are pretty good in my books, not that I’ve ever tried to make friends with them, but yea they are pretty….as you said obnoxious and self centered when it suits them.” She said as she turned back to look at him. “Oh don’t worry, I don’t mind” She said. She tapped her lower lip in thought. Classes… She thought. “Oh! I’ve signed up for Transfiguation and Animagi so far……though I might sign up for some others.” She said. “How about you?” She asked.
ooc;; Yea they're blue lol

OOC: I hope you don't mind me joining...I'm really bored. So I thought I might as well introduce myself to Felicity, seeing as she's in my house and my year....
IC: Audrey was just wandering around the grounds as she tended to do on days like this one. It was sunny out, so she thought she's head down to the lake. Perhaps if there's no one around I'll take a swim... She was watching her feet as she approached the lake, taking care not too squish any small creatures, when she saw Mike and a girl sitting close to the edge of the lake. She altered her path and walked up behind them. She could see the girl more clearly now and realized that it was Felicity, whom she'd only spoken a word or two here and there throughout their six years at Hogwarts together, even though they were in the same house and year. It wasn't anything personal, really. She'd just never taken the time to get to know too many people. Audrey stopped when she heard her name. Mike's talking about me? Her stomach fluttered in an odd fashion which threw Audrey off her train of thought momentarily. Hmmmph. she thought to herself, That's an odd thing to happen. Audrey continued walking, more slowly now, taking more time to quickly analyze, categorize, then compartmentalize her feelings than to care about the bugs. Karma can deal with it, she thought. When the girl finally came to the couple under the tree, she quickly folded her legs under her and sat closer to Mike than Felicity. She quickly glanced between the two a couple of times before she said, "I was walking and saw you two. I hope you don't mind." She looked at Felicity carefully. She was prettier than she remembered her being, though she'd never paid the girl much attention. "I'm Audrey Hitchcock. You're Felicity, right?"

OOC: I don't mind at all, was just me and Felicity on last night, so I started this RP. You're more than welcome to join, Aryn. And no one mind but I took some of the plot from my Great Hall RP and added it in her.
"Audrey, I don't mind at all." Mike said as she sat down, his heart began that odd pounding again. He stared at Audrey for a moment, having not of gotten over how beautiful she was. He then turned to Felicity. "Funny you mention Transfiguration and Animagi, two of the same things I've signed up for. And I believe Audrey here, signed up for Transfiguration as well?" he said turning his eyes to Audrey for a moment. Mike gazed out on the lake, "Looks like my days are shaping up, before I had no one, but now I have a good old friend, and a new friend out here today." he said grinning for a moment. He rose a little to his feet and stretched his back and arms, then settled back down next to Audrey, a little closer though this time, without actually meaning to. "Though, I wish something exciting would happen.." he muttered, watching those same Slytherins with his hand clenced tightly around his hand inside of his pocket.
OOC: Most likely not taking the Slytherin thing anywhere, I wanted to see if I could stir up something in conversation about it, I guess. Haha

And I believe Audrey here, signed up for Transfiguration as well?
Audrey smiled. "Yeah. I've signed up for Transfiguration and History of Magic. I'll probably take Charms and Potions too." The red headed girl tore her eyes away from Mike and instead focused her gaze on her trainers. I need to write Mom and tell her to send me a new pair, she thought absentmidedly.
"Looks like my days are shaping up, before I had no one, but now I have a good old friend..."
Right...a good old friend, Audrey chided herself. Why was she feeling like this? Mike had always been her friend. He's always been there for her, even when she alienated everyone else for Axel. And why did she care that Mike was placing Felicity in a similare category? Did it matter? No. It didn't matter in the least. Things would stay the way they'd been since Axel left.
At least that's what Audrey told herself.
Audrey raised her eyes and stared at the seemingly flat horizon, only interrupted by the figures who were obviously Slytherin. Not that she had anything against Slytherins in general, it was just her experience that she should stay away from them when possible. The people who were around them tended to get hurt.

Mike looked out over the water. He ran his hand through his hair, the one habit he had when he was lost in thought sometimes. "So Felicity, are you from London or somewhere around there?" Mike asked, attempting to keep the conversation going, since he was having trouble while his thoughts were on something.. or someone totally different, he looked over at Audrey after asking this of Felicity.
OOC: Btw, Felicity, know you haven't seen these new replies, but kinda seems like these posts might be awkward for you? Sorry if they are... lol =/

Felicity was off in her own little world for a few moments, but when she regained herself she noticed that another person had joined them. Oh! That’s Audrey She thought smiling at the other girl. “Yesss, I’m the one and only Felicity,” She said, grinning. “I knew I’d seen you around somewhere…” She stated, realizing that Audrey was in her own house. She switched her sitting position so that her legs were crossed before her as she listened to the other two speak, not wanting to be rude.
When Mike spoke to her she shrugged one shoulder, “My mother was from France, so we lived there until I was nine, then we moved to London..” She said. “How about you two? Are you from London?” She asked, arching her brows at them.
Ooc;; ooooh It‘s alright lol, sort of awkward, but it‘s alright. Though I might not be here for about a week…..vacation, so yea..

"I've moved around a few times. Currently in London, I lived in Austrialia for a while. Personally, I always thought of myself as having a faint Austrailian accent, but I know that most of it is British." he shrugged. "Once in America, nice place. I prefer Austrailia myself, but yep, London has been my home for a few years now." he shrugged.
OOC: And no Austrailia is not random, is the country I've always wanted to go to the most, don't ask me why. Haha

OOC: Ok...I completely didn't know you'd gotten on, Felicity. >_< Have fun on vacay! We'll pause this thread or something while you're gone. IC: Audrey smiled at Felicity. She seems nice enough, the girl thought. Audrey's mouth dropped open a bit when Mike started telling them about his travels. She hadn't realized he'd moved around that much. And to think you knew everything about a person.... Audrey assumed it was her turn to share her origins, though they sounded plain after Mike's 'World Traveler' journal entry. "I live outside of Hogsmeade. I could walk home if the rules permitted me to. My mom owns a bakery there. It's small, but we have some land in the country." Her red hair did nothing to protect her from the sun, so she scooted closer to the shade under the tree, and closer to Mike at the same time. Sly one, Audj, she thought to herself.
