Well,well... what do we have here?

Ah... it was finally the weekend and Kiara was beat with all the homework she gotten done in the library this afternoon. Kiara was the type of person who was always on top of things and got things done before they were due, she guessed it was the way she was rasied. As she walked into the girls' dorm she sighed in relief as it was empty and quiet. Kiara figured everyone was either doing homework or out by the lake or something. As she walked over towards her bed which was by the window she flopped down on it enjoying the feel of her nice soft bed under her. "Ah... peace and quiet."said Kiara happily as she closed her eyes.

Don't get Kiara wrong she loved people but she was so beat from doing homework all day all she wanted to do was take a nice long deserve nap. Although she wasn't really the nap taking type Kiara felt that she needed it after having her head buried in books for hours. As she heard the door open she groaned in defeat. "Can a simple girl get some rest around here?!?" Kiara asked herself in annoyed voice. As she looked around she didn't see anyone so she laid back on her bed and closed her eyes once again.

Mariposa had been on her way out to the lake when she realized that once she was out there something would make her want to draw or write. So just before she left the castle she turned around and ran up to the Gryffindor Tower. On her way up she saw a young Gryffindor boy, probably in his second or third year, making some mischief and she knew she had to stop him since she was a Prefect. Mariposa walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder. "You know you shouldn't be doing that." she said sternly, and the boy looked up at her startled. "I - I'm sorry." he said, and he ran away from her. She foloowed him with her eyes and sighed. Then she just continued on her way, as if nothing happened.

She entered the common room and saw there was hardly anyone there, everyone must have been outside of just around the castle. Mariposa smiled and she went up to the dormitiores to get her things. As she entered, the door make a loud creek and she peeked into the room. There was one other girl there, and it was someone she knew. She complained, something about letting a girl get some rest, and Mariposa thought it was her fault. "Oh... I'm sorry Kiara, I didn't mean to wake you. I just wanted to get some things." she apologized, and she crossed the room to her bed. Mariposa kneeled in front of her trunk and began to rummage around in it for some paper and something to write with.

Kiara sat up in her bed and shook her head at Mariposa one of her good friends and a fellow sixth year. "It's alright Mariposa, sorry I snapped at you."said Kiara. "So... who are you writing to?"Kiara asked her softly as she smiled at her. Mariposa and her were very good friends and they were always potion partners in class so they knew each other pretty well. Kiara wouldn't say they were best friends but they were pretty good friends maybe they would become more who knew?

"Ugh... I'm so glad it's the weekend, and I'm dome with my homework I think I might go down to the lake to get some fresh air you want to come?"Kiara asked her. "Stupid bloody teachers making us there prisoners."Kiara muttered darkly in a annoyed voice. Kiara was very sassy and she spoke her mind alot of times which lead her to trouble alot of the time. It made Kiara laugh that she was close friends with the Gryffindor prfect but she was always close friends with Keegan who was Hufflepuff prefect so she guessed it was ok. Kiara looked out the window at the lake and seen it was packed with students enjoying there weekened.

Mariposa looked up from her trunk and smiled at Kiara. "It's alright, you were in your right. I would've done the same thing if someone woke me up." she told the girl kindly. Mariposa was the kind of person to be grouchy if she was woken up by someone. "Oh, no one. I just needed to grab my things in case I wanted to draw or just write something down." she told her friend. She looked back down again for a while, and finally found what she was looking for. "Ahh, there they are." she said as she picked up her notebook and pencil. She stood up in the spot she was in and she closed her trunk with a loud thump.

"I finished my homework too. It wasn't very hard." Mariposa shrugged. "I was just going to go to the lake, but I came back up here to get these things, I was gonna go back, so sure." Mariposa smiled at Kiara. "I know I hate that they act like we're at their will." Mariposa said annoyed. She dusted off her still uncomfortable skirt and sighed. "I think I might change into pants..." she said, looking through her trunk again, for some jeans. She found a clean pair and she got up again. "I'll be right back." she called over her shoulder, as she left the room. She changed as quickly as she could and she walked back into the dormitories. "Okay, I'm good to go." she sighed, feeling alot nore comfortable in the jeans. "Shall we go?" she asked Kiara, in a weird accent, hoping to get a laugh out of her friend.

Kiara looked at Mariposa and chuckled. "At lease I know I'm not the only one who will snap at not getting some rest."said Kaira. Kiara wasn't usually a snappy girl, but if anyone treies to wake her or get in her way at times she will snap at them for it's in her nature to. Kiara nodded. "Ah... I see, so what are you going to draw today?"Kiara asked her curiously. Kiara was a drawer herself, but she nevered beleived she was that good but her parents and friends told her differently. Although Kiara was very talented at Gymnastics which was something she loved doing and alot of her friends weere healous casue she could do back flips.

Kiara nodded. "Yeah I know, it was pretty easy wasn't it? which is weird usually the hound us with a hard subject seeing how it's our first week back."said Kiara shrugging. Kiara nodded and rolled her eyes. "Ugh... I know, this isn't some miltary school so why treat us that way?"Kiara asked. Although some of the teachers were cool and nice but some of them were just well pain in the butt. Kiara shook her head and laughed as Mariposa changed from her skirt to her pants. "You know... that I'm not really a girly girl but that skirt did look cute on you."said Kiara honestly. "Ok... lets go.'said kIara as she gotten off her bed and straightened her gray top with her black jeans as she grabbed her black boots and put them on.

Looking back down at her trunk, Mariposa gave a faint, "Mhm..." and she continued to rummage around in her trunk for a necklace that was precious to her. It was given to her by her grandmother before she died about a year ago. It was the only thing she had left of her, and she didn't want to lose it. She suddenly looked up at Kiara and smiled. "I don't know yet. I usually wait until something outside inspires me to draw." she said softly and shrugged. She looked at the sketch pad she had in her hands, and she flipped through it, looking at all the drawings she made over the years. She stopped at one of her grandmother staring off into the horizon while they watched the sunset. Mariposa felt tears well up in her eyes, and she quickly wiped them away.

Mariposa laughed and smiled at Kiara. "I guess they were giving us a break." she said softly, closing her trunk. "I know it's a pretty stupid thing to do." she laughed. After she had put her jeans on, Mariposa opened the trunk again for a brief moment while she threw the skirt in, and she recolsed it quickly. She stared at Kiara when she said the skirt looked cute on her, and she shook her head. "Even if it did, I can't stand it. I'd rather be in pants." she said softly, looking back at her trunk. "But you know... it is fun to mess with the boys by dressing that way. Especially if they don't expect it from you." she smirked, and let out a laugh. It really was fun to mess with the boys, Mariposa had figured that out the first time she decided to wear more feminine clothing.

Kiara noticed Mariposa looking at her sketching pad and seen tears swell up in her eyes. "Hey Posey are you ok?" Kiara asked her softly. "I'm here for you if you ever want to talk you know that right?"Kiara asked her softly as she hugged her. "Oh by the way, did you find what you were looking for you were looking through trunk for like a minute or more."said Kiara. As Kiara looked at the page Mariposa was looking at she smiled. "Wow... that a beautiful picture Posey."said Kiara looking at it. Kiara was good at darwing but she nevered showed anyone her drawings though.

Kiara looked at Mariposa and shrugged. "Yeah maybe, but I have a feeling next week homework won't be a walk in the park."said Kiara. Kiara nodded. "I think it's because of the battle we had last term is the reason why there doing this cause we'll be prepare if it happened again."said Kiara shrugging. Kiara rolled her eyes playfully at her and shook her head. "You know, it is fun messing with them I always play hard to get when there after me."said Kiara smirking. Kiara wasn't a player but messing with boys was fun and her and Mariposa do it all the time.

It felt like she was there again. Sitting down under the trees with her... her hair flowing in the wind, just like it did in the picture. Mariposa suddenly looked up at Kiara as her voice broke through her thoughts. The tears had let themselves fall down her cheeks and they were reaching her neck now. She felt the sudden coldness of her tears and she wiped them away from her neck. "Huh?" she said at first when she head Kiara's voice. She sudden;y recognized what Kiara had said and she nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine." she told her. When she suddenly felt Kiara hug her, she flinched a little, not being used to those kinds of interactions. But she son relaxed and smiled at the girl. She stared at the necklace in her hand and nodded again. "Yeah this is what I was looking for." she said, showing the necklace to her. "It's the last thing I have from my grandmother before she died." she explained. "Than you. I drew it during the summer, a few days before she died." Mariposa said softly, closing the sketchpad.

"Yeah, I think it's going to be a pain." she sighed, rolling her eyes. Mariposa nodded and sighed. "Maybe... or maybe they just like to treat us that way." she shrugged. Mariposa let out a small laugh at Kiara's comment, and nodded. "I do too. Da un sentido... como bueno." she said softly, saying the last part in spanish accidentally. "I'm not the easiest person to please though, so that helps me." she smirked.

Kiara looked at Mariposa and shook her head. "No your not Posey, I can tell your not."said Kiara softly as she seen tears in her friend eyes. "It's a beautiful necklace Posey, I can see why you cherish it so much."said Kaira softly. "Well... hold it dear to you Posey, and know she's always there for you no matter if you think that she isn't."said Kiara softly. Kiara looked at the sketching before she closed it and nodded. "I know how you feel though Posey I really do."said Kiara softly. Her grandfather died about a year ago and Kiara haven't really gotten over it yet and still thinks of him often. Everything Kiara did was to mainly make her grandfather proud, she was going to quit gymnastics but her parents told her that wouldn't be something her grandfather wanted so she didn't.

Kiara chuckled at Mariposa's comment. "Yeah I think your right, but hey at lease Charms will be easy for me, but I always been good at the subject."said Kiara. Kiara shrugged. "Yeah maybe that's the case as well, who knows."said Kiara. "I'm somewhat easy to please, but playing it hard to get is fun because it shows if the boy really cares enough to go that far to get you."said Kiara.
