A nature walk

Zoe walked out of the castle and onto the grounds with Kit in her arms. It was a beutiful day, which was why she had decided to go on a walk. She had been cooped up inside the caslte for days. So here it was a nice Saturday afternoon, no classes, homework could wait till later. Kit was so excited to be outside as well that she jumped out of Zoe's arms but circled her ankles purring. They walked around looking at different things when Zoe decided to make a stop beside the lake. So they found a nice place in the shade and sat down. Zoe looked out across the lake, not really thinking of anything in perticular. She must have been in another place when someone startled her when they said hello. Both Zoe and Kit jumped.

Mariana walked by from further: "Hey Zoe!" she said carrying her snowly owl Hedvig on her shoulder: "Beautiful day isn't it?" she said looking at golden sun,green grass and blue sky.

Zoe looked up and saw Mariana. "Hey there. Yea it is isn't it. It's about time. I was getting sick of the yucky weather."

"And yucky studying!" added Mariana showing Zoe picnic basket.

"Tell me bout it. We hardly get any break. What kind of people do they think we are? We need breaks from all the studying too." Zoe looked at the pinic basket that Mariana had brought with her. "So going for a pinic are we?"

(Adrenn approcahced and he looked tired. His shaggy brown hair was messed up and his robes were untidy. he walked a bit sluggish and he had only one ring of his backpack over his left shoulder. He noticed the others.) "Hey" he said but he sounded full of enegry

Kit jumped into Zoe's lap which cause her to jump. Zoe had not being paying much attention she had a lot of things on her mind. So when Adrenn spoke she was just as startled as Kit was.

"Hey there," Zoe said to Adrenn. "You sure look tired, have you had a bad day?"

"Yeah" he said "The NEWT is gonig to be a pain that's for sure." (

Topher had just stepped outside when he saw a group of people out by the lake in some shade, so he walked out there and said "Hey guys whats up?"

"Sorry to hear that Adrenn. But it will get better. Take a seat and relax." Zoe turned to look out across the lake. The conversation in the group was jumping from one thing to the next. Then she looked up and saw Topher walking toward them. "Hey there. Doing good and yourself? Come on and join us." Kit got up and walked over to Topher and crawled up in his lap as he was trying to sit down. "Sorry about that. She doesn't normally take to people that easy. Come here Kit get back over here." Zoe reached over and took Kit back.
