Running In Circles {Open..Please! :]}

[Lynn Laurice]

What was the point of homework? Lynn sat in class, she listened, and she read the books and understood the material. That should have been enough. Homework was just so stupid for someone like her, she was brilliant after all. She could so easily just take her tests and ace them without the extra studying. However, grades were important because they gave her a certain level of prestige that would get her somewhere in the world. That was why she sat in the common room, hunched over her Transfiguration essay. But with dinner ending the room was slowly filling and becoming more and noisier, irritating her to no end. Finally she could take it no longer, she rolled up her parchment and stowed away her things in her dorm before pushing her way through the common room and out into the castle.

Lynn Laurice wasn't considered as a Death Eater...yet. But she did want to be one once she came of age. Lynn knew that despite her sex, she would become one of the most ruthless ones if she really tried her hardest to serve the Dark Lord. She was Queen of Torture, the Mistress of Pain (in the scary way, not the sexy way, even though she could be quite sexy when she wanted to be). The cruciatus curse was her specialty although sometimes she liked to abandon her wand for a more muggle approach. To have the warm blood of her victim on her hands, it gave her a perverse sort of pleasure. Lynn was evil, she hated when people tried to tell her others. Her heart was as black as sin, but her innocent appearance masked a deranged mind and psychotic nature.

People stayed out of her way, even those who didn't know her reputation avoided her stony face, she never smiled. Well she never smiled for anyone else but a selected few. Her long legged gait was graceful and well measured, she moved carefully. As she walked her eyes were constantly moving as well, going from side to side as if she was afraid of someone jumping out at her. Her eyes were the only symbol of her insanity. Other than that she was pretty and well kept, her hair was smooth and her robes were neat. There was no indication of what lied underneath the smooth facade.

Night was falling around the castle but Lynn was unperturbed, she was above rules and regulations. So she slipped out the front door onto the grounds. A storm had been looming all day and now it was raining, thick and hard. Still she proceeded forward, down the Quidditch pitch which was of course empty. Lynn was extremely fond of Quidditch but no one really knew that. At the moment though she didn’t really feel like riding around on her broom. Instead, she decided to go there because it was a wide open space and she didn't want to be contained. Slowly she pulled off her robes and dropped them to the ground, then loosened her tie as well. Her shirt, hair, and skirt were soaked. Reaching down she slipped out of her shoes and socks as well. Lynn stood there, staring up at the murky night sky, allowing herself to be soaked by the rain. All the time thinking just of those she truly missed; her father and brother.

[Elizabeth [Dawn] Saunders]

Quiditch season was fast aproaching, and Elizabeth had rarely been out flying as she would normally love to be doing. How she loved the cold night air rushing through her blond locks. Just the very thought of not being able to fly brought nightmares to her sleepless nights. How the muggles could live with out ever letting the wind sweep them of the ground she did not know. Cleanin! They thought brooms were for cleaning! Oh if Elizabeth could get her hands on one of those nasty contraptions the muggles called brooms. What she would do it, no one would ever dare to dream.

Not even the cold rain could distract Elizabeth from her attraction to the dark sky. No, it was not the safest thing to be doing at the moment, but what was life without little risks? Elizabeth could not wait for the games to begin. And when they did, she knew she would bring her team to victoy. She was captain this year. Things would be different. She would make them different. With her and Victoria on the team, nothing could stop them. Elizabeth would bring in the wins, while Victoria would deprive the other chasers of gaining any points whatsoever.

Elizabeth was a confident little girl. Oh yes she had her head high up in the air. But the only reason for that was she could not let her defenses down. No one but Draco knew of her problems with her family. Nor would anyone else know, as long as Elizabeth kept it hidden, as long as she acted like nothing was wrong, no one need know of her dealings in life.

It was late out, much past curfew. but Elizabeth didn't care. She was head girl after all. Why the headmistress had chosen her, Elizabeth had no idea. She knew there was something about her that made people want to be her, or like her. No matter how rude she was to these people, she knew she was admired. Could it be her never ending confidence? Maybe because she was oh so beautiful. She knew she was hated. Not everyone could like her. In fact, she was sure it was only Slytherins that felt this way about her.

She had the boys wrapped around her fingers. Just a snap of the fingers would bring one running to fit her needs. And Draco, Draco would always be there fore each other, but how much longer before either of them admitted their feelings? Elizabeth knew how she felt, but she had no clue of the thoughts which ran through Draco's mind when he set eyes on her. Were they different than those which ELizabeth had? Were they the same every other boy had as they layed eyes upon her curvacious physique, lust.

As Elizabeth continued to fly through the air, she noticed she was no longer alone. That there was someone else down there. Possibly another Slytherin. By the looks of it it was another blond. It's semed every girl was going bond these days. No origionality at all. At least Elizabeth was only partially blond.

From further inspection Elizabeth noticed it to be Lynn Laurice, yes, yet another Slytherin. With a sigh ELizabeth landed. She never really communicated with this girl. But times had changed. Maybe she had as well. Elizabeth had always got a strange vibe off of this girl. Something about her ELizabeth just did not like. But, she might as well make something of ths night. They were both out here after all, for some reason or other.

Hovering slightly above the girl known as Lynn Laurice, Elizabeth made her presence known. "Hey Lynn...Err, what are you doing out and about at this time?" She asked hesitantly after clearing her throat. Elizabeth immediately wished she had continued to merely fly around alone. She knew this probably would not end up well. These two girls were from different upbringings. And were totally different types of people. Elizabeth never really saw Lynn Associate with others, and didn't really know if she ever did anything but sneer and let out sarcastic remarks. Seems the two girls were more alike than they thought. Who knows what may happen here on this dreary wet night.

[Lynn Laurice]

Lynn looked to where the voice was coming from and saw that it was Elizabeth. Lynn didn’t really know anything about her because they never talked, but she couldn’t find anything wrong about her. Lynn had been in her own little world so she hadn’t even noticed that she had probably been flying around for a while.

“Hey.” She said softly to her. Lynn was glad that it was raining at this point because if it wasn’t then Elizabeth would’ve been able to tell that she was crying. “Just…thinking. How about you?”

Lynn sniffed slightly, a small sign that she was crying, but if she had to she would just blame it on rain might be getting her sick or something. After all, she did have a reputation to keep up. She was pretty much known as the girl with no emotions. That was one of the reasons that she pretty much had no friends or anything. Its not that she even liked having that certain reputation, its just that she had been through so much it was just hard to let other people into her life, or actually show people the real her. Her mother would want her to open up towards people, but Lynn was hiding one emotion more then others. She was scared. Scared that people wouldn’t accept her, and even if they did she was scared that something would happen to them like something had happened to her brother and father. Lynn didn’t want to become overprotective of a friend or anything, that would just weird them out. So she just figured that its best the way it is.
