A Needle in a Haystack (Guy Banvard)

[kaitlynrobbins]

“Where is it?!” Katie whined, extremely frustrated. She had been searching everywhere, but yet somehow she could not find her shoulder bag. It wasn’t like Katie to lose things, especially something with such value to her. In fact, she couldn’t remember a time when she had lost something. Having already searched the common room and dorm room, Katie flopped onto her bed. “Where could I possibly have left it?” she asked to her empty dorm room, "This school is so big! It could be anywhere. It's like searching for a needle in a haystack!"

Katie thought back to all the places she had been today and thought if she had her bag with her at that time. “Breakfast . . . had it . . . charms . . . had it . . . Arithmancy had it . . .” and her thoughts continued like this until she came upon one particular place, “student lounge . . . of course! That’s where I left it!” And with that she bolted up off of her bed and ran as fast as she could down to the student lounge.

The whole time she was running through Hogwarts’ corridors Katie was thinking of her cream colored hibiscus tote bag. She loved that bag, not to mention what she had in it: two of her favorite books, the birthday money she had received a little over a month ago, pictures which could not be replaced, things such as that. As she was rounding the last corner she reached out to open the lounge door, but before she could grab the handle the door came slamming open, knocking Katie to the ground.

As the evening began to set in, some students began their studies. While some students began the fun. Mostly all of the common rooms were filled with groups talking about the present day and what happened, along side students working on their school work. The Great hall, Halls, Courtyard, and the Student Lounge were also places filled with students. Guy Banvard was placed in the heart of the student lounge. He was in the middle of a game of wizarding chess and in the middle of a group conversation- containing Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and some Ravenclaws. *Crash* The game sounded, as Guy's knight took out the opposing mark. "Check. Hey, Good game." he grinned as he leaned back in his chair.

Soon after the game ended, the majority of the group seperated. Some leave where as some just moved. Guy sighed as he looked at the clock. "Still Early." he mumbled to himself as he closed his eyes attemping to drift off to sleep. Suddenly a commotion began in his mists. A Slytherin was yelling at a fellow house mate making quite a show. Watching this dispute, he saw one Slytherin bust throught the door and bolt down the hallway. The lone Slythering stood huffing as he ran after the other boy. Pushing the door open, The Slytherin pushed into a girl as she fell to the floor. Not even giving her a second look, he ran away from her.

Sitting up from his seat, Guy saw the whole fight begin. Standing up he walked over to the door. Kneeling down beside the girl, whom merely arrived at the wrong time, he spoke "You aright, there?" he asked in a kind tone. Holding out his hand, he waited for the girl to take it, so he could help her up.

Katie layed on the ground dizzy and disoriented. Everything around her seemed to be spinning and her head hurt like mad. She closed her eyes trying to clear her mind and push away the searing pain in her forehead. She heard a voice and opened her eyes to see two identical boys of about her age floating around beside her. Katie slowly blinked her eyes a couple of times to clear her double vision and nodded. "I'm fine, just a little dizzy is all." She greatfully took his hand and let him help her up. She stumbled a bit, but managed to steady herself.

"Thank you," she said, slowly massaging her temples "I'm Kaitlyn by the way, Kaitlyn Robbins. You can call me Katie. " It took her a moment to think of why she had come down to the lounge in the first place, but then she remembered that it was to find her bag. "Have you by any chance seen a cream colored shoulder bag in here? I can't seem to find it and I think I left it in here earlier." She hoped now more than ever that her bag was in the lounge. Katie's mother had forced her to put some muggle medicine in her bag during Christmas break and she really needed to take something for her head.

Smiling at the girl on the ground, she let him help her up. Standing a few feet apart she quickly added something about a bag. Watching her she kept rubbing her temples. "Do you want to sit down?" he asked as he motioned towards the chair he previously sat in before the whole fight. She began walking the room looking for the bag. "No, Actually I haven't seen it. But I'll try and help." he added as he walked acrossed the room and began looking in the corners, between furniture, and under tables.

(( Sorry for the wait and the shortness. Im not in the mood to post. But I wanted you to know I was still around. ))
