Jumping and cartwheel! (Latanya)

[kaddy]

"One jump, two jump, three jump, four, five jump, six jump, seven jump more!" Danielle yelled happily. She was playing hopscotch out on the grounds. It seemed every day she felt more at home there. And she'd made a few friends. Hopefully more would come. Classes were OK but as usual, boring. Danielle's favorite was Defense Against the Dark Arts. "Arm, arm, foot, foot. Ta da a cartwheel!" Danielle said. Continuing doing so until she got dizzy. She plopped down on the grass and laid down. That looks like a blob, so does that one and that one. Oh, that one looks like a um...a whale! Yeah a whale, a big fat one too! "All whales are big though. Aren't they Mickey?" Danielle asked the figure on her skort. He didn't reply. "Yeah well who asked you? Dumb mouse." She sat and crossed her legs. "I should meditate." Danielle decided.
Two minutes later. "That is so boring! Back to jumps." She declared getting up quickly. "One, two, three, five, eight, four, ten, fifty, six! Arm, arm, foot, foot. Arm, arm, foot, foot."

"Kitty! Where were you hiding?" Danielle asked her kitten bending down to pet her. "You're so cute. Hmm...can cats swim?" Ready to experiment Danielle picked up Kitty and walked over to the lake. "Get in Kitty." She said sitting her down. Kitty bolted. "How did I know? I must be a physic or something. Go Danielle, it's your birthday!" Danielle began to dance. "I am so cool! Go me, it's my birthday, gonna party like it's my birthday. Gonna get presents like it's my birthday, even though we all know it's not my birthday!" She sang loudly. Soon afterword, Danielle tripped (over what seemed like nothing ) and fell. "Ow, my knee! Not cut though so that means. It's OK." She said jumping up again. "One jump, two jump, three jump, four..." Danielle continued.

((Sorry it probably didn't make sense. ))

Latanya looked up from the book she was holding and closed it. Why is someone like me still inside when I should be outside enjoying the sun? she thought to herself as she looked out the window. Making up her mind, she decided to rest for a moment and walked out of the Gryffindor common room. Opening the doors that lead to the grounds, she smiled and breathed in some fresh air. The air smelt of grass and water, along with the light breeze licking her face, Latanya felt as if she had just walked into heaven.

She walked to her favorite spot under the big oak tree. Sitting down, she smiled at the other students that were on the grounds, either chatting or playing, or just doing their own things. Her eyes fell to a certain girl by the lake. It looks as though she was trying to drown her cat. Everyone knows that cats hate water. I wonder if this girl knows she mused. Standing up, she dusted the cloak she was wearing and walked over to her. About half way there, she saw the girl trip on something Then all of a sudden the girl jumped up and began doing something her gymnastics teacher taught her when she was still in a muggle school. "Hi. I'm Latanya." she introduced, holding her hand out to her. She paused to think of something to say. "Are you alright?"

Danielle had still been jumping when she saw another Gryffindor walk up to her. "Hi I'm Danielle Pewter. Gryffindor first year. You?" She greeted while shaking her hand. "Oh I'm fine. See no cuts or anything. It's OK. Have you been to Disneyland before? I haven't. Not yet anyway my aunt got me this. Cute right?" Danielle asked pointing at her skort with Mickey Mouse on it. Giggling she took off toward a big tree and climbed up. Nice and cool. But too boring. She sighed and sat on a branch that stuck out over some grass. Danielle then jumped off. Luckily it wasn't too high up but she still wobbled a bit. She than ran over to the girl.

"Sorry 'bout that, I've got a sugar rush. Have you ever had one? Oh wait I want you to meet someone." Danielle said excitedly. "Kitty!" She called loudly. Her cat meowed and walked around. "That's Kitty. I've got like two more cats at home. Then there's my hamster and a dog." Breathing deeply (from talking so much) Danielle looked around. "Oh yeah, almost forgot. Wanna go swimming with me?"

"This is my second year at Hogwarts." she replied back as Danielle was shaking her hand. "Yes, I've been to Disneyland before. It's amazing. I recommend you to go there. There are lots of cool rides and really cute Disney characters. You know what they are right? Yes, that," she said, pointing at the Mickey Mouse on Danielle's skirt. "That's Mickey Mouse. I think he's the first character to be created by Walt Disney, the creator of Disneyland." she continued, as she watched her run over to a tree and climbed on. Boy, she's active. Doesn't she get tired from running around all day? she found herself thinking. She smiled sweetly when she came back. "Nope, I've never had a sugar rush before. But i've got loads of friends that do. One of them even went swimming. And may I add it was winter then." She said shaking her head. "And you've got a very cute kitty." she added, running over to it and tickled it's chin. "And sure, I'd want to go swimming with you." she said as she took off her cloak and threw it aside. "After you." she said smiling, gesturing her hand towards the lake.

((if we're going swimming maybe we should continue this at the lake...))

"Not too cold, not too warm. Just perfect." Danielle decided after jumping in the lake. "A second year huh? Must be better than being an Ickle Firstie. But at least I'm not getting lost anymore. Even found that one place. What is it called again? Oh yeah! The room of requirement. It's really awesome. If you haven't found it yet I could show it to ya if you like." Dunking her head underwater she came back up quickly. "Wow, this thing is deep! Or it's just really dirty. But I can't see the bottom either way." She swam around for a bit and looked back at Latanya who was still standing there. "Hey Latanya, you getting in?! We can play Marco Polo."

(I'm very, very, very, very sorry for the late reply. And how bad this one is too. Just wanted to make sure I did reply sometime though.)
