Stormy nights ; Sunny mornings

[Briony Balters]

Briony wandered aimlessly, when she quickly stepped inside an empty class room. Well at least what she thought was one. As she walked in a smile came to her face, as she took in her surroundings. There was a huge window that took up almost the whole room. She looked down at the chairs and couches around the window, A perfect place for my writing. She thought. As she turned her head to a roaring fire place, a small giggle escaped her lips. Briony did not know what room this was, but what ever it was, it was now certainly her favorite place in Howarts.

Briony made her way across the room, and not once did she take her eyes off the sky. She took a seat in one of the comfy chairs and gazed out the window. She stared deeply into the almost black sky, threatening to rain any second and thunder. It had lit up all around her and the loud crackles from the thunder, made her heart beat faster. She smiled to her self, if there wasn't anything Briony enjoyed more it was a the rain, she loved to watch, heck she even loved to be in it. Briony walked over to the window placed her right hand gently on it and traced the rain drops path on the window, she looked out to see a flash of light in the distance and to hear the rumbling of the storm coming closer.

As the room darkened, Briony laid down on the chair facing out on to the grounds, closing her eyes slightly, she listened to the sound of the storm. The pitter patter of the rain against the window was soothing.

She snapped open her eyes to the sound of the door now turning. She looked at the door slowly opening, waiting to see who was behind the door....

Elizabeth had been wandering around the school after her run in with Lynn, when she noticed something slightly unusual. A door on the seventh floor happened to be slightly open. Looking aroun her surroundings, Elizabeth noticed she was on the seventh floor. She furrowed her brow as she tried to think of what was missing. When it hit her. The Room of Requirement.

This room happened to provide the user with anything he or she needed. All the user needed to do was walk back and forth thinking deeply of what he/she needed. Normally when it was not in use, or the user closed the door, it merely showed as a blank stretch of wall. Elizabeth found it strange that someone who was using the room of requirement would be so careless as too leave the door ajar as such. with a sigh Elizabeth walked upto the room and pushed the door open fully. She was going to say something when she noticed the big window.

She was mesmerised by the rain, and how the moonlight shone into the room. The rain never seemed to bore Elizabeth. She loved how it sounded, adn how it felt against her skin, washing away her pain...Elizabeth looked over to see a girl staring at her. She smirked and said, "Take a picture it lasts longer." Elizabeth didn't really know this girl, but she looked familiar form one of her classes. She was a Ravenclaw.

[Briony Balters]

Watching a Slytherin walk into the room, a frown came to her face. Watching the girl stand there starring off into something, Briony felt very ridiculous sitting there starring at this girl. But as she studied the girls face, she look unfortunately too familiar. Briony never really, liked to mingle with Slytherin's. They all were carbon copies of one and another. They all shared the same brain, which wasn't all that big. Seeing a smirk, which Slytherin's practically did in their spare time, Briony rolled her eyes. Awaiting for some idiotic comment. Bingo we have a winner. Briony said as the girl told her "Take a picture it lasts longer."

Piercing her lips, as she stood up from she was standing. She gave a the girl a look of disgust. "I knew Slytherin's had a learning impairment, but you just proved it true on so many different levels." Walking over to where the girl was standing, she walked to one side of the girl, then to there other. "Well what do we have here, another Draco Malfoy worshiper?" She asked with a small smile. Placing her hands on her hips, she made sure this girl knew not to mess with her.

Hearing a loud roar of thunder and seeing the bright flash of lightning. She took a jump back. The rain now coming down harder, Briony took her eyes off the girl and now focused on the window. Snapping her attention quickly back to the girl, she knew never to turn her back on anyone. The storm was so abrupt, that Briony was awaiting yet another outburst of thunder and lightning.

Elizabeth's smirk grew as she heard Briony Speak. She knew where she had seen this girl now. She was Seeker on the Ravenclaw team, and the new captain. Elizabeth's arch enemy. Why the girls were enemies, no one really knew. Many would say they were alike in many ways. Both were sarcastic, and cunning. Neither would give up until they reached their goals. maybe that was what set them apart. The fact that both were determined to hate the other, to prove they were the better one.

"Well, Briony Sharpe. How is that team of yours looking? Ready for a good ass whippin'?" She glared at the girl infront of her and then chuckled as she jumped back in freight. "What's wrong Sharpe? Afraid of the thunder?" She knew Briony was trying to frieghten her, but it wasn't working. Elizabeth stood her ground, and watched her opponent with a hawk-like vision. She was ready fro anything this girl might throw at her.

Elizabeth let her gaze flicker quickly to the down pour outside. How she longed to be in it, running around with the wind whipping at her face, and her skin soaked by the salty water. How she loved the wetness it held. After running a hand through her hair, Elizabeth slipped off her robes and tied them around her waiste, unbuttoning the top button she let out a sight. She hated the school uniforms with a passion, almosted as much as she hated the girl infront of her.

[[Gryffindor came in first, Slytherin and Ravenclaw tied at second, with Hufflepuff comming in last. Those are the Quidditch stats for last year]]

[Briony Balters]

Watching the girl's smirk grow wider, Briony couldn't help but give the girl a look ; your an idiot, get over your self. Playing with a strand of hair, she wished she could drown out this girls voice, but before she could the girl said her name. Peculiar, I don't even know who this girl is. Said to her self, as she watched over the girl intensely. Giving the girl as glare, as she actually thought Slytherin had a chance against Ravenclaw.

"Before you speak another one of your dimwitted comments, let me enlighten you." Briony remarked, in a hush tone but with a lot of attitude. "I don't know who you are.." Briony she said standing tall. "And I don't plan on it." She added matching the smirk the girl had on her face. "The only "ass whipp'in" that will be going around is when Ravenclaw crushes Slytherin and your little Malfoy." She said as she stepped closer to the girl getting in her face.

"Can't wait to see him cry." She said letting her smirk grow wider, as she shook her head and, backed off the girl. Making her way back to where she sat before she was desturbed by that Slytherin. "Oh and I know your small little brain can't take in to much information at once, so I will keep it short for you." She said turning around. Looking over the chair, as she sat there. "Leave now." She said slowly, to tick off the girl.

[Elizabeth [Dawn] Saunders]

Elizabeth didn't let this girl intimidate her. How could she not know Elizabeth? They had been in classes for as long as hey had been in school together, not to metion had played Quidditch against each other since the first year. Not that it matters. Elizabeth thought to herself. If she doesn't know me now, she will know me when we beat her and her sorry excuse for a Quidditch team. With a a slight smirk Elizabeth walked over to the window ledge and sat down.

"No, I don't think I will leave." She said strongly. "I'm quite comfy right where I am." She glared at the girl and decided to ignore her comment about Draco. But her words made Elizabeth's mind run. Was she really just another Draco Malfoy Admirer? Was what she thought was friendship between her and Draco just her mind playing games? No, that couldn't be true. ELizabeth and Draco had been friends since as long as each of them could remember.

She looked out the window as she felt her smirk fall. She watched the rain wash down the windows. Elizabeth loved the rain, especially during thunderstorms. She loved the noise it made against the roof and windows. With a sigh Elizabeth turned around and admired her surroundings. Seemed Briony had chosen a classroom as her means of relaxation. Not exactly the first thing that came to Elizabeth's mind when she thought of being layed back. Then again, this was a Ravenclaw after all.

Elizabeth ran a hand through her hair and thought of a butterbeer. As soon as the thought entered her mind, one was instantly in her hand. She drank out of it and placed it down on the ledge. Why had she decided to stay? Was it just to piss Briony off? Or maybe Elizabeth just did not feel like being alone, even if it met being acompanied by a snobby Ravenclaw, one of whome she hated. There were many Ravenclaws Elizabeth got along with, in fact she didn't think Ravenclaws were all that bad, most of them anyways. But this Ravencalw just had a way of getting On Elizabeth's nerves. Possibly because they were on opposing teams and had to hate each other. Elizabeth hated that. Why should she do something because it's what she had to do, she never did it before, why start now?But it wasn't just that, there was something about Briony that made Elizabeth just want to flush her head down a toilette. She was just one of those people.

Well, this will be interesting. Elizabeth thought to herself silently.
