Part 1 Francis caught the smile she returned to him and felt strangely elated. He had never been able to make a girl smile before! Sure so she was older, but she wasn't all that much older. He briefly wondered if this was what it felt like to crush on someone, feeling like one was floating on air and with bugs or moths fluttering around inside one's stomach. He wasn't about to ask Sii, as she would probably laugh at him. Well..maybe she wouldn't, but then she'd know how he felt about her. He really wasn't that comfortable letting her know that just yet.
He didn't even notice her blush, if he had, then he would have know that she herself rather liked him. He was more so focused on getting the three or four feet that was left to the side door without being caught that he was watching his feet as they dashed over to it. Francis' hand joined hers on the door handle and together they managed to tug it open and reveal the rainy outdoors.
It was a rather strange sensation to be running in the rain with a girl holding his hand. He knew better than to stare over at her as that would have caused him to trip and pull her down with him. Finally, after about ten minutes of dashing through the rain and avoiding the tree roots and hug mud puddles they arrived at the lake.
"Wow, this is so..invigorating!" Francis exclaimed letting go of her hand and raising them above his head and spinning around raising his head to look up at the falling raindrops. He stopped and blinked trying to get a raindrop out of his eye. "Oww,,I didn't think raindrops could hurt!"

Sii tugged as hard as she could with him so they could be free from the dreary castle. Her feet barely touched the ground as she ran. How she'd missed the wind in her hair and the grass under her shoes. She smiled at his enthusiasm and giggled as he spun in the rain. She tugged off her shoes but stopped when he got rain in his eye.
" You should close your eyes when you spin." Her voice was filled with happiness and she tugged her wet hair out of it's ponytail before closing her eyes looking to the sky and began to spin. " So awesome!" She spun until she got dizzy and fell oddly to the ground laughing. Opening her eyes she smiled at Francis. " Next time I should stop before getting this dizzy." Her laughter bubbling out again.

Francis rubbed his eyelid and then laughed. "I shall have to do that then." He was rather taken back when she tugged off her shoes and spun around barefooted. He made a face, thinking that it had to feel really odd to walk around in wet grass.
He loosened up a bit though when he saw just how much fun she was having. Why not try and see what it felt like? "It looks like fun," He supplied and then laughed with her when she fell on her backside. "Here..need a hand?" He asked leaning over to help her up.

Siianna nodded and reached up and grasped his hand. As she put her weight on their clasped hands to stand she slipped and ended up back on the wet grass pulling Francis down on top of her.
Blushing so much her whole head seemed to go pink she rolled so he'd continue onto the grass. " I'm SO sorry!" She scooted over not caring that now she was completely drenched.

Francis didn't realize just how much Siianna outweighed him so when gravity and her strength worked against him he couldn't really do much but allow it to happen. Of course, he wasn't too happy with being pulled into the mud, though he was mostly on top of the smiling gryffindor. "Blimey Siianna, the mud must have it's grip on you. It didn't want to give you up!"
The next minute, he was settled on his back in the grass where she had rolled him. He stared up into the raining sky and then opened his mouth. He was surprised in how fresh the rain tasted. He had always been told by his mother that it was dirty water. Why..she had been lying to him all this time!
Francis turned to look over at the now red-faced and embarrassed Siianna.
"That's all right, It could have been much worse."

Siianna shook her head rapidly. "I don't want to think on how." She turned to stare up at the sky trying to get her face to go back to it's normal color. Once she felt calmer she gave Francis a smile and slowly stood up on her own. She hated the feel of mud on her back but clenched her teeth and set her feet in a stable fighting stance and reached over to take his hand. "Let's try it this way/"
As she bent over her shirt had moved and cold rain was hitting her back and it chilled her to the bone. But she fought the shivers, there was no way she was going to bail out on this trip, it was proving to be too much fun.

Francis couldn't help but laugh at Siianna's comment. "That's true, I could have ended up face first in the mud. That would have made my OCD really apparent." He told her.
With the sun hidden behind the storm clouds, Francis could barely make out Siianna's face so he had no idea that she had blushed. He laid in the grass and sighed. He was definitely going to have grass stains on his jeans now, but that couldn't be helped. At least the House elves seemed capable enough to get out stains. Especially with how dirty his roommate Elton was always getting.
Francis was a bit surprised to see Siianna standing in an odd stance and reaching her hand down to him. "Umm..okay." He said and took her hand and tried to brace his feet on the ground and push up at the same time.
Francis could see that her shirt had slide up when she bent over and was a bit concerned for her. She was probably super cold now. She should have brought a coat or slicker with her. He figured mentioning it wouldn't be something she wanted to hear though.
Thankfully Francis was able to get up pretty easily and he avoided brushing off his backside knowing he'd just get mud all over his hands. "Thanks for the hand Sii." He told her with a grateful smile.
Then Francis unbuttoned his slicker and slide out of the arms and held it over the both of them. "I might as well share, or you'll end up sick."

Siianna giggled at the thought of him getting upset over a little dirt. She braced herself backwards and thankfully this time neither one of them fell into the wet grass. "Got to love these fighting stances. And it's no problem." She was glad he seemed alright with them being out in the rain.
When he held the slicker over them she smiled. "Thanks. Though I doubt I'd get sick." As if to prove her wrong she sneezed. With a twinkle in her eye she looked at Francis. "One sneeze isn't getting sick." She smiled and took them to the edge of the lake. There was a light fog over the water and made the place seem a bit more magical. "Beautiful isn't it."

Francis puzzled over her comment about fighting stances for a moment. Sii didn't really fight did she? He smiled back at her hoping his backend wasn't too muddy or that it would be easy to get out of his pants.
"Fighting stance? What sort if fighting are you talking about?" He finally asked curious to know. There was a lot that he still didn't know about this girl and he figured he might as well get to know her better.
He frowned when she told him she didn't think she'd get sick. And then he shot a knowing look at her when she almost instantly sneezed. "Uh huh right. That's what you say now. Just wait until tomorrow when you're all miserable and sitting in the middle of class." He told her in a slightly teasing tone.
Francis followed her careful to avoid any big patches of mud or any slick grass. He was not going to fall again if he could avoid it. He stopped next to her, his slicker still extended over the both of them. He could feel the heat from her body he was so close to her and he shivered slightly at the strange sensations creeping up his spine.
His eyes turned to gaze over the lake and he couldn't help but agree with her. "Oh yes." The fog made the lake look more creepy to him but he wasn't going to say anything about that. It made him wonder what sort of things lurked underneath the placid waters.

Siianna nodded and made sure she stayed as close to him as possible so she wouldn't get any wetter. "I wield a broad sword." Her hand went up to her necklace but she didn't activate it. They were a bit too close for that, and she'd hate to have hurt one of them.
She had chuckled at his teasing and gently bumped shoulders with him. She felt him shiver and moved closer thinking he was cold. "I come out here all the time to practice or just to stare off and think." She looked over and gave him a large smile. "Would you like to see me practice? I could do a few moves if you want." She loved nothing more than swinging her sword around. It was the only time she truly felt complete.

Francis was a bit surprised by her answer. He saw her hand go to her necklace and glanced at it. He squinted to get a better look at it and then realized that it was a miniature sword on her chain. "Oh wow, that's cool. Did you put a spell on your sword so you could have it with you at all times?" He asked glancing at it a little closer.
Francis grinned back at her, glad that she didn't mind his teasing. He was glad that she wasn't the type of girl that couldn't take a bit of teasing. That would be no fun at all. "Well practicing is a good way to get better. What sort of stuff do you think about?" he asked curious to know what sort of things went through her mind.
She probably wouldn't be interested in the fact he was always thinking about his routine or how to make his routine go faster. That was just boring.
"I would like that. I'd like to see you in your element." He replied with a small smile.

Siianna smiled as she held the necklace out for Francis to see it better. "I actually purchased this one when they told me I couldn't bring my old one with me." When he asked about what she thought about her smile kind of froze for a moment. "Oh this and that. My classes, fellow students, my gran, just a little bit of everything. Sometimes I'm a Knight slaying a dragon and protecting a town or village." She gave a nervous giggle figuring he'd think her really strange.
When he said he wanted to see her moves she sent him a dazzling smile and stepped out into the rain. With a simple command the necklace glowed and soon Sii was holding a long sword. With a nod to Francis she stepped back a bit more and soon she was gracefully dancing in the rain with her sword. She went from move to move so seamlessly that as she picked up speed she could almost keep herself dry with the sword. She was definitely in her element the sword seemed like just an extension of her arm as she moved.
After a few moment of this she stopped and bowed to Francis again completely ignoring how soaked she was. Her white shirt seemed to fit her as a second skin and she put the sword back up and moved to stand under the slicker with him. "Well?"
