Thunderstruck (( Jessica))

[Cassandra Blackfire G7]

Thunder struck outside the castle as Cass studied her potions book by fire light. It was late, and the embers were beginning to burn low. Sleet pounded against the windows as the rain threatened to turn into a heavy snow. Fondly thinking back to last year, Cass remember the snowball fight that ended with her meeting her cousin. It seemed so innocent at the time, two young people teasing one another under a winter sun, but it became much more. Cass truly wonder what would of happened if she had never met Pyro Blackfire. Would she still just be just plain muggle born Cassandra Logton from Birmingham, or would she be something entirely different? She would never know.

To her left, she heard a familiar purring. Turning, she saw her old cat, Ringo, begging for her attention. Closing the black hard bound book, she emptied her lap. Jumping up, the snaggle toothed feline stretched his rear up into the air and yawned. While the feline curled up on top of her legs, Cass lazily scratched behind his ears. It was so peaceful in the common room late a night. Right now, her dorm was filled with a bunch of gaggling girls discussing everything from makeup to Death Eaters. It was hardly a relaxing atmosphere, and she was craving alone time. Still, her eyes would dart to the steps leading up to the dormitories, hoping to see Liam come down those stairs. Her boyfriend had been scarce since they had returned from the holidays. She had hardly seen him at all. Sighing, she put her head back against the red arm chair and stared up at the ceiling. She began to hear light footsteps coming down the stairs. Without moving her head, she uttered a greeting as she heard the feet hit the marble floor of the common room. " Isn't it a little late for you to be up? We do have class tomorrow, you know?"

Jessica rolled her eyes and turned over in her nice warm bed as another crack of thunder sounded. She could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried she couldn't. She had tried everything from counting sheep to staring at the darkest part of the room. She was a very light sleeper and usually never could sleep threw a thunderstorm which she must have inherited from her mom because she could never sleep threw them either.

Giving up entirely Jessica slipped out of her bed and tip-toed over to her dresser and randomly pulled out a t-shirt and jeans. She wasn't really interested in what she looked like because it was almost two in the morning anyways. Slipping out of her pink and purple butterfly pajamas Jessica walked into the bathroom and ran a brush threw her tangled brown hair a couple times. She was usually always interested in what she looked like so it was quit strange for her to not put make-up on she always put it on even if she was just going to go into the common room and grab a book and head back into her dorm she always had to look decent.

She tip-toed back into her dorm and picked up her little black and white kitten Smokey that was fast asleep on her bed. She usually didn't wake her kitten up but she decided she needed something to entertain her when she was in the common room. Her little kitten opened her little blue eyes and let out a little meow in confusion. Jumping out of her arms she walked by her side instead of her being held. Her kitten didn't like to be carried around like a baby, it was very independent and refused to let people carry her around even if she was hurt she would walk up to the common room to her and she would have to fix her wound and worry about if she ever got hurt worse would she still walk all this way?

Not expecting anyone to be in the common room Jessica tip-toed down the stairs and was startled by a voice. She turned around to see who she was talking to and saw a girl she recognized as Cassandra. Even though they were in the same house they had not officially met yet. "Yes, it is late" Jessica responded to her question. "So what kept you up so late?" she asked hoping this girl was in a mood to talk so they wouldn't have to sit there in silence. Turning around she saw her kitten come down the steps and start heading over to her. Looking back at the girl Jessica tucked a piece of her brown hair behind her ear and waited patiently for a response.

(Sorry it is lame but I couldn't think of anything to Wright.)
