Summer isn't the same without your friends!

It was summer time, something Taranee didn't look forward to seeing how her friends had plans this summer. But she wasn't about to stay in the house, she been in the house all day doing homework and studying. Taranee was still debating weather or not she even wants to go to London when she had homework that needed to get done. Deciding it would probably do some good to get away from the house and take a break, Taranee grabbed her bookbag before she headed out the  her room towards the front door. Opening the front door, she wondered if this was a good idea or not, it wasn't the same without her friends here.

Thinking of her desination Taranee appeared with a pop in the back allwayway of her favorite mall. Of course it wasn't the same without her friends, but Taranee wasn't about to admit that. Besides, she could have fun without her friend for once right? besides they all needd a break from each other. Walking towards the mall she pushed opened the door before the smoothie place. "May I have a strawberry, peach banana smoothie?"Taranee asked as she set her money on the bar. As the man nodded he started putting the strawberries, peaches and bananas in the smoothie, after a few minutes he set it down as Maura thanked him and took a drink of it.
 
Her chocolate brown eyes looking around the packed mall she seen a empty table in the corner by the windows. Rushing over towards it, Taranee took her seat before before setting her bookabag down before looking out at the sky outside. It looked like it was going to rain which made Taranee sighed as she looked at what she was wearing. "I should of wore something different, but oh well to late for that."Taranee thought to herself.

It had been a long morning of doing naught but sit around and wait for something to happen. That coming weekend, her family had grand plans of an investigation about an hour away from their home in Scotland. That said, the week had been passing slowly, and Trisha couldn't think of much to do besides floo to London and have a look around.

Tris landed herself in the fireplace of one of the stores in Diagon Alley. Deciding to venture out a bit more, she walked for a while before coming up on a mall. While she wasn't always one for shopping, window shopping was rather interesting - or she thought so anyways.

Walking in, she fiddled with her hair as she looked into the various stores. As she passed a smoothie shop, she glanced around. Seated at one of the tables, Tris was certain, was her friend from Hogwarts. Trisha had heard of the attacks at the Shrieking Shack, and wanted to be sure her friend Taranee was alright.

Snaking between the tables, she made her way to the one by the window where Tara sat. "Hey, Tara." She smiled. Though fairly hesitant to interrupt whatever the other girl might have been doing, Tris rather hoped she could stay and talk for a while.

Taranee snapped out of her trance as she seen a familiar face that she haven't seen in awhile sit down in front of her. "Hey Trish, long time no see how are ya?"Taranee asked her curiously. Looking at the young girl, she seen that not much has changed about her, she was still the same as Taranee remembered. Her and Taranee were alike in some many ways, they were both muggleborn and went through alot.

Brushing her blond hair out of her eyes Taranee looked at her friend and shook her head chuckling. "If your here to ask if I'm alright, I'm fine it's my friend Maura who got the worse end of it."said Taranee shivering as she remembered seeing her getting tortured by James. Looking down at her wrists she still had the scar where the robes dug into her skin. It was a horrible night, it was something Taranee couldn't erase from her head no matter what she did.

Tris smiled as she sat down beside Tara - though the girl was older, she was friendly and the two girls got on well. "I've been alright. Mostly just spending time at home, which is good," She shrugged, "but I guess I like to get out now and then." Because Trisha's parents were Muggles, they didn't know much about her world, even after all of these years. They, of course, were mostly interested in her research in Ghoul Studies.

Taranee basically answered Trisha's next comment - well, question, really - before she could ask it. "I'm glad you're alright." Tris replied softly, obviously meaning it. "But I am sorry about the whole thing. It shouldn't have happened." Trisha had heard about it, but not the details. She wasn't about to ask any deep questions, though. She didn't think Tara would really like it if she started asking her to relive it.

Instead, Tris changed the subject, "Why did you come out today?" She asked, referring to the mall they were sitting in. "I got so tired of doing nothing at home, "She rolled her eyes, frowning, "That I just sort of wanted to walk around."
