Vanessa pulled her black and yellow scarf tighter around her face. It was freezing outside! She shivered as she made her way to the castle, hoping that warmth awaited her. She pulled out a glove covered hand and opened the door to the Student Lounge, where indeed, warmth did welcome her. With a sigh of relief she un did her cloack, scarf, and took off her gloves;laying them neatly by the fire to dry off.
She curled up into a ball on the couch, and stared intensely into the fire, the heat making her eyes tear up, but slowly the tears faded away and she blinked away the pain. The warmth was comforting to her and her wet black hair started to straighten naturally. She hated her hair, but she liked it when it was straightened rather when it was curly, it suited her more.
Vanessa was about to leave when she saw someone enter the empty Student Lounge, with a smile she thought she could use the company. She turned back to the fire, grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around her still cold body.

Justin was walking around the school in a daze. Apparently you were'nt supposed to run face first into a door. He walked around in his stupor as and looked as though he was very very uncoordinated. He finally came out his daze when he reached what he believed was the student lounge. He was wrong. It was the girls bathroom and when he walked in his ears rang as though someone had just slammed symbols right beside his ears. He ran out quickly ,both embarrassed and laughing histerically. He quickly found the student lounge and entered.
He looked around the room and saw that it was empty ,except for the person on the couch. The fire was roaring and he suddenly remembered the fireworks he had lit the other day. He walked over to the girl and said in a rather polite voice " Hi ,I'm Justin Lionheart ,mind if I sit down with you?"

Vanessa looked up at the boy who had introduced himself as Justin. She smiled with warmth and shook her head. She sat up, and pulled the blanket tighter around her freezing body. She brushed a lock of hair out of her eyes and turned to Justin.
"I'm Vanessa Link. Are you escaping the cold as well?" She asked in greeting, surprised that her stuttering was not haunting her on this chilly day. Her eyes darted to the fire, then back at Justin. The fire flickered shadows on the walls, and then back intot he fire it blazed. She smiled slightly, remembering her days back home when she would play her piano in front of her parents and their friends.
"What house are you in?" Vanessa asked, not tearing her eyes away from the fire. She didn't bother to look at his robes...her minds eye was set on thinking of someone else, if only she could have found him before the day was over. None the less she would see him before she went to bed, she always did.

Justin sat down as the girl nodded and introduced herself as Vanessa Link. He listened to her question and said " Escaping the girls is more like. One wrong turn and suddenly I'm a bad guy." He laid his head back and looked at the door when he saw the girls start passing by he slouched down as fast as he could and replied to her other question " Oh I'm in Gryffindor and what house are you in?"

Vanessa laughed slightly at him mentioning running from girls. She wondered what he had done, but she didn't pry on the subject. She thought it would be rude.
"I'm in Hufflepuff. My fifth year to be exact. Argh, it's so hard. I hate it." Vanessa replied, she sifted through her messenger bag until she found some music sheets and an inkpen. Dabbing the inkpen on the corner of the paper to see if it would write, she began writing notes on the staff...it was a song for someone. He had written her one, she thought it necessary to write him one back.
"Okay, my curiousity is too strong. What exactly did you do to have to run from them?" She asked, looking up from her work and staring gently at Justin.

Justin smiled and said " Oh I'm a fifth year to." He looked at the fire as he heard her other question and said " Oh well I kinda ,sorta ran into the girl bathroom." He blushed as he said this and suddenly it dawned on him that it was rather funny and he laughed a little bit. He then said " What are you writing?" He did'nt want top sound he rude ,so he asked in a gentle inquisitive voice.

Vanessa looked up at him as he said he ran into the girls' bathroom. She raised an eyebrow at him and shook her head in an amused sort of way.
"Sort of?" She asked with a teasing smile. She then laughed and flicked her hair over her shoulder, looking down at the parchment with frustration. Why couldn't she just, write? It was horrible. The words didn't match up right, break up songs Vanessa was good at...love songs, no way.
"Oh, I'm writing. Which is getting rather hard for me. This word doesn't go with...eureka...hey, can I get an opinion from you? Okay, tell me what you think of this..." Vanessa picked up the guitar that had been sitting lazily by her right hand and fixed her fingers on the right strings. Her hands moved swiftly over the chords and she looked down at the music in front of her.
"Something 'bout the way you looked at me.Made me think for a moment.That maybe we were meant to be.Living our lives seperately.And it's strange that things change.But not me wanting you.So desperately." She sang, then she stopped. Her lips shut tightly as if she wasn't going to talk ever again. She couldn't believe she had just sang in front of him, someone she had just met, she had sung one of her own songs...
