Justin sat in the stuffy common room, staring at the ceiling.IT was dawning on him that he should get some relaxation in, before it was to late. He stood up, and walked over to an open window. As soon as he popped his face out, he felt the cool air hit his face. It felt great, better than the stuffy common room. He looked down on the grounds, and saw that there were'nt to many students out there. The lake looked perfect and it was quiet, well except for the birds singing, but hey that was an upside to everything. He thought to himself for a moment, then ran up to the boy's dorms.
As soon as he reached the room, he realized what a great idea it was to head on outside. It was just as stuffy in here as it was down there. He walked over to his four-poster bed, and opened his trunk. He saw what he was looking for, and picked it up. It was his faviorite pair of shorts, and his faviorite sleeveless shirt. Throwing his robes back on, he grabbed his wand, and headed back downstair, into the common-room, and out the portrait hole.
He walked out of the hole and looked around. He saw ghosts here and there, but none that he knew. He headed downstairs, and saw a few students milling about. Apparently, they thought that studying was what you should do on a day like this. Boy were they wrong. Justin reached the first floor in a matter of minutes, and looked around at his surroundings. The hall's torches were lit and there were a few students walking around, using paper as fans. Grinning, he headed out the Entrance hall and onto the grounds.
Walking out the doors, he was greeted with another cool blast of air. It was perfect. He realised that the sun was out, but there were a lot of clouds to. He walked over to the lake, and looked at it's cool, rippling surface. He picked up a rock. It looked just about right to skip across the lake with. He got ready, and sent it across the surface. One, two, three..., ten skips. One of his best, maybe he was getting better. He looked around, and found a tree. He walked over to it and saw that it was in blossom. The pink and white flower made it look awesome. It was a pretty good tree to rest by to. He sat down with his back on the tree, and closed his eyes, listening to the birds singing.

Here was her day so far; wake up, get yelled at by Mack, go to breakfast, go to class, get yelled at by Mack, go to lunch, go to class, get yelled at by Mack, skip class. And now as she ran from her younger sister, Dix headed out into the Grounds. Her brown hair pulled back into a pony tail, and a pink daisy stuck in the holder. She wore sunglasses on over her eyes, and her school uniform, which was making her overheated. She shrugged off her cloak and flung it over her shoulder as she walked down to the lake. Hoping to get away from all the crap that was going on in her life at the moment.
The wind picked up a bit as she was nearly at the lake, and blew her pony tail back. The flower came loose and flew forward, towards the lake. She couldn't lose that flower! Dix bit her lip and ran forward, trying to catch the flower as it tumbled over invisible obstacles. It took a swerve left and landed in front of someone. Dix quickly jumped on it before it could take flight again. With a sigh, she tucked it back in her hair and smoothed out the pony tail. Not even noticing someone infront of her, "Damn wind. Blow everything out of place." She looked down at her outfit and scowled. Grass stains now resided on her plaid skirt and her white shirt was untucked. She rubbed at the stains and moaned, "This'll never come out!!"
It was then Dixie looked up to see someone. Her brown eyes looked this person up and down and she knew he was a Gryffindor, you can just tell by their presence, "When were you gonna let me know you were there? Were you just going to sit there until I did something worth watching?" Dix asked, her right eyebrow raised and her hands on hips. The cloak which was over her shoulder, now sliding down and landing on the ground.

Justin looked over as a girl jumped on a flower next to him. Looking up he realized that she was Slytherin. He heard the girl say something, and he thought for a moment. He then loked back at the girl and said " Hold on." He looked down at his watch, and waited three minutes, he then said " Okay, I'm here, does that answer your question?" He stretched out and yawned. Looking back across the lake, he saw a fish jump up out of the water, perfect for fishing. He noticed that the girl was still there. He looked back at the girl. He thought she was good looking, but then again, her personality might be that of Dawn's, which he thought could use a few tweaks.
He stared at the girl for a minute or two, then he said " Ok, so I did'nt tell you I was here, you never asked. Anways, I'm Justin Lionheart, and you are?" He asked her this question very politely, and would've kissed her hand, due to the way he was raised, if only she were'nt a Slytherin. He grinned, waiting for her answer. As he waited, he slipped down to where he was laying staright down on the ground.

Dixie laughed at his first comment. She needed to laugh. She took out her wand and pointed it at her skirt, she muttered a word, and looked down again. The stain was still there. Dix sighed angrily and threw her wand on the ground. The end stuck into the ground and stayed there. The boy then introduced himself, and Dix nodded, "Dixie Holden, most people call me Dix though." She told him with a small smile. Most people did call her Dix, the people she knew anyway.
Dix normally didn't socialize with Gryffindors, but it was either stay here or go back there and get yelled at some more by her darling sister Macenzie. She chose the first option. Dix sat down on the fallen cloak and looked at Justin, "So...what are you doing out here? Don't you have a class or sommem?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at him and cocking her head slightly to the left. She was being fairly nice for herself, but then again, Dix could be nice when she wanted to. Just...don't get her mad.

Justin laughed and said " Nice to meet ya Dix, it's ok if I call you Dix, right?"Class, yeah, but I'd rather spend my time out here, where it feels good. The scenery is good to." He then looked at her and wondered why she was out here, so he decided to ask her. He smiled and said " What brings one as pretty as yourself out here, on the quiet, peaceful day?" he looked up and raised his arm. he pointed his finger in the air, and a butterfly landed on it.
He thought for a moment, he was'nt usually nice to Slytherin's, but he had turned over a new leaf. He was'nt going to make enemies anymore. Especially not pretty ones. He then looked back at Dixie and awaited her reply.

"Yep. Dix. Fine by me." She said to his question about calling her Dix. He then asked her in return why she was out instead of in, only he added a pretty in there. She smiled and rolled her eyes, "Let's see, shall we? Stay out here, get yelled at by sister, stay out here, or get yelled by sister. Hmm...what a tough choice." Dix added in sarcasm. She rolled her eyes again.
"Although I am missing such an interesting class of History of Magic, oh darn." Dix snapped her fingers as if she was really disappointed about missing History of Magic. Probably the most boring class ever. She clicked her tongue indicating, oh well. She then looked at him, and the butterfly.

Justin laughed and said " Well, I see how those choices could be tough. Oh well, your sister is younger than you, I bet you want her to shut up all the time. If you do, i can help you there." He let the buterfly fly off of his finger, and he reached his hand in his pockets. He held out the contens, and said " Now these are called Silencing Shockers, it's a type of toffee I made. If you give her one, she'll be shocked every time she speaks, but the shock will only be enough to shut her up, it lasts for about three hours, so you have to be careful on how you use it." He held out one to her and said " Here, you can try it out if ya want to."
Still holding out his hand, he used his other hand to pull out one of his mini-boom rockets. He set it up and pulled out his wand. He lit it and said Dixie." As soon as the fuse was out, the rocket flew about five feet off the ground and it blew up, emmitting colorful fireworks, forming the name Dixie. he then said " That was on of my mini-boom rockets, i have to work on the name, but when you use one, you say anythig, and it will spell it out when the firework goes off."
