Alex wandered out into the courtyard with a yawn. If he ever had a break during classes, he would always go outside to the gardens if he could. He sat down by the fountains and took out his book, Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. It had always been one of his favorites, ever since he was little. He pulled out his wand and started twirling it through his fingers, causing a soft blue light to shine out the end. "Nox." he said impatiently, causing the light to go out abruptly. He sighed and tucked it behind his ear. He hated doing that but it was the only way to stop it from causing unintentional magic.

Eloise walked a few steps, trying to walk as slow as she could just to pass the time. That morning she hadn't bothered to straighten her hair, or blow it dry the night before, so it was rather wavy and only slightly matted, but still having it's small charm. Hey gaze was on her feet, currently adorning a pair of black mary janes and warm with knee high gray wool socks. Her skirt swished only slightly with every step, her wool vest hugging her body in all the right places without being tight. Eloise had left her cloak on her bed, considering how warm it was that lovely september day.
With a sigh Eloise's gaze stopped at a small rock on the brick courtyard path. It was a light orange, and had an almost perfectly smooth shape. Kneeling down, Eloise grabbed the rock, sitting on her ankles, trying to examine the rock as closley as she could. Eloise wasn't at all worried about wasting time.
((I would make this longer, but alas, I have to leave.))

Nicodeamus sauntered up behind her and knelt down. "You look kind of sad, El. Something wrong again?" he asked. Despite the smile on his face, his eyes were betraying a fair amount of worry. He'd summoned a black hat, and it was now resting on his head. His usual hairstyle, a slicked back ponytail, added to the hat, and gave him a bit of detective- like appearance. He set a hand on Eloise's shoulder, waiting. She had no idea how much she meant to him.
"Or, are you just distracted, love?" he asked, calm and kind.
This is what Nico looks like!

Alex smiled as he saw a few more people come into the courtyard. The other students seemed familiar, Seventh years maybe? he thought to himself looking up at the two. Huh, they make a cute couple. He looked back down at his book, marking his page while shifting his weight to get more comfortable. He put his book back into his bag and pulled out his sketchbook and a pencil. As he started sketching the two, he thought to himself, I probably shouldn't be doing this without their permission but oh well. If they don't want me to sketch them I'll stop.

Kinzo sauntered into the courtyard observing the three other students. I knew I'd find Alex here. She didn't know the other two people although she suspected that they were Gryffindors. I probably won't be talking to them anyway so I suppose it doesn't matter. This was all too true in Kinzo's case. She rarely spoke to those she didn't know unless they had angered her which usually happened when people were ignorant or stupid. Instead of worrying about it the Slytherin slowly approached her Ravenclaw friend from behind to surprise him.
"Nice drawing," she suddenly said as she looked over his shoulder at the picture of the couple. Although he'd just started Kinzo still liked what he had done so far. She sat down beside the artist and continued observing both his subject and his work.

Eloise took her gaze away from the small stone in front of her. She was so easily distracted, that a small blush appeared on her face as soon as she realized what she had been staring at.
"No, I'm not sad. Just a lot on my mind. I don't think I could ever be sad around you Nico. You make me smile so easily. I guess I am just really distracted." Her smile was soft as she looked at Nico, her love. Eloise tried to remember her former boyfriend, but every time she tried to picture him she saw Nico's face. She couldn't even remember the boy's name, the guy that she thought she would be together forever with. Apparently this was a good thing, if all she could think about when she thought of love was Nicodemus. She loved everything about him. The way he noticed when she was sad, or even distracted, how he held her, and even his name. Nicodemus. I'm his.
Right then she herd the soft sound of someone saying 'nice drawing' though, she didn't turn her attention. 'I wonder what he is drawing.' With a small movement, Eloise shook the thought from her mind, trying to keep focused. I guess I really am easily distracted.
Taking off a red hairband from around her wrist, she tied her hair back in a messy pony tail, her long layered bangs framing her face, since they were to short to go into a pony tail, but long enough to be tucked around her ears. Smiling, Eloise looked at Nico, he looked good in a top hat, the only thing that would make it better was him in a tux, and her in a dress. Hopefully there would be some sort of ball this year. Her father had bought her a nice dress for her to wear for Jasper's wedding. Of course, Jasper wasn't getting married yet, but they had anticipated it, and Mr.Mason had recently won a case at his law firm, so they had some more money.
Eloise looked at him, he looked so much bigger compared to her, but they fit together perfectly.
"You would look amazing in a tux. A nice pinstripe tux with dark red silk lining and a black fedora. That would be amazing." Eloise's mouth curled into a smile as she looked at Nico, straight into his beautiful dark eyes.

Nicodeamus chuckled and patted her on the head. "I'll have to take your word for it. I don't mix with suits all too well," he said with a smile, "It seems that we are being used as models for art." He had very clearly noticed the boy drawing him. Paying little mind to it, his thoughts ended up drifting back to his previous girlfriend. What was her name again? Oh, goodness, he couldn't remember at all. All he did remember was that she was a bit of a loose cannon. He remembered breaking up with her, and how she attempted to hex him. It wasn't his fault that one of his best mates was hopelessly in love with her!
His thoughts returned to Eloise, and he smiled. He really couldn't remember the other girl now, which was good. He was truly, and hopelessly in love, and, so far, Eloise loved him back. It was his hope. "Want to go sit by the lake?"

Alex was focused on the shading of the faces of his subjects when Kinzo walked up behind him and complemented his sketch. He yelped as he jumped a few feet in the air and fell onto the cold stone. "Jeez Kinzo, what are you trying to do. Kill me?" he asked as he sat back up on the fountain with a smile. He knew that his friend enjoyed sneaking up on him and did so every chance she got. "So how are you?" he asked putting his journal back into his bag.

Kinzo grinned as her words had the intended effect. "Maybe I am. I could be an assassin sent to destroy all American Hogwarts students by those despicable Brits," the girl said jokingly as her friend got back up. "I've been good. Not much to report. Although I did get this," she began while her fingers reached into her messenger bad for something. "Aha!" When her hand emerged a pile of brightly wrapped candies sat on her palm. "Daydream Charms," she explained. "I just tried one today and they're quite effective. You might want to use one." Kinzo shrugged her shoulders although she suspected that her friend, with his tendency to doodle or daydream through class, may find them useful.

Alex chuckled at his friends comment. "You do realize then, that I shall have to fight you to the death." He said as he motioned for her to sit down. She began rummaging around in her bag and pulled out several bright candies. He listened to her explanation and said with a certain amount of awe. "Whoa, where did you get them?"

"I think we all know who would win that battle." Kinzo sat on the fountain's edge and offered one of the treats to Alex. "I got them from Weaseley's Wizard Wheezes," said the fifth year. "I was surprised to find that I hadn't known about them beforehand! They seem like something I'd have discovered earlier, but I suppose late is better than never."

Alex smiled as he took the candy from his friend. As he was looking at it he said quietly, "Wow, it's even pretty on the outside." He looked back at Kinzo and said, "Weaseley's Wizard Wheezes huh? I vaguely remember hearing something about one of their shops in New York City, but I never got to go."

"You've never been to one before!?" Kinzo asked incredulously. "They make the best prank stuff. I've got to take you sometime." The Slytherin began pondering whether or not the company had a Hogsmeade location, but she was unsure of that. "Besides their prank stuff they've got useful things like these," she added motioning to the candies. She tossed the other ones back into her bag where they mixed with multiple books and sheets of paper.

"I know! I'm so deprived! he said dramatically while placing a hand on his forehead. "In fact I'm so deprived, that I'm depraved!" Saying this he fell backwards, landing with his head next to Kinzo's lap. "But I must say any shop that sells daydream candies is fine with me." he pocketed the small sweet and said. "Thank you for that, I have another free period soon. And we're forced to stay inside for this one." He gave a heavy sigh while crossing his arms and giving a fake pout.

Kinzo grinned at her friend's dramatic actions and said, "You certainly are. I'll have to ensure that such abuse does not continue." She looked down at her friend's face which was now positioned so that she actually didn't have to look up at him. "That ought to be useful then. Inside free periods suck." She stuck her tongue out in dislike for the bothersome requirements Hogwarts sometimes had. "Oh, and by the way I'm actually 'tall' for once." The Slytherin emphasized 'tall' since technically she wasn't any different, but it was somewhat satisfying to be able to look down on someone besides a first year.
