Are You Serious? ((Jake))

[Lenora Byers]

“And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face, at first just ghostly, Turned a whiter shade of pale She said, “there is no reason And the truth is plain to see.” But I wandered through my playing cards And would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open They might have just as well’ve been closed She said, “I’m home on shore leave,” Though in truth we were at sea So I took her by the looking glass And forced her to agree Saying, “you must be the mermaid Who took Neptune for a ride.” But she smiled at me so sadly That my anger straightway died” Lenora sang an old song that her father loved. ‘A Whiter Shade Of Pale’ it was called and was from Lenora’s favourite genre of muggle music; oldies. Her father was a muggle and that was what he loved, so he raised Lenora on it.

She spun around in he snow; enjoying it while it lasted. Lenora could stand most weather but she wasn’t too keen of the cold. She had decided that it was worth braving the cold though when she looked out the window and saw the soft white powder that day. Unfortunately as she spun she slipped and feel to the ground. Laughing at herself Lenora looked around to see who had witnessed her little mishap; she was lucky there was only one other person out there. “Hey” she screamed waving at Jake. Standing up she walked gracefully over to him before plopping down into the snow again; this time on purpose. “How are things?” she asked him, hoping he didn’t mind some company.

Jake kicked some snow up into the air and grinned as he watched it float to his feet. Even coming out in such low temperatures was worth it just for the chance to be able to muck around like a kid again. Really, Jake was still about five deep down, and snow seemed to bring it out in him like nothing else could.

Jake took a long look over the grounds, he was quite suprised to see it so empty on such a beautiful day, but then, he supposed, most would probably be having breakfast right about now. There was, however a person not far away from him. He squinted his eyes and recognised the blonde hair at once, Lenora Byers, a Gryffindor he knew.

Jake quickened his pace slightly and headed over to where Lenora was standing. He shouted to her, but , apparently she didn't here and Jake was left to watch as she spun around on the spot and fell down.
Jake grinned and watched as she got herself back up, laughing. As she glanced his way Jake gave a wave and atlast she noticed and came over.


"Alright Lenora? Things are good with me thanks," Jake nodded, following her example and collapsing into the snow, "More than good today, actually. I thought I'd come out and enjoy the snow while it lasts. I s'pose you're doing the same?"

[Lenora Byers]

As Lenora sat Jake joined her while mentioning things are better than good with him. “Guilty; it was just too pretty to resist to be honest.” Lenora said at his mention of coming out to enjoy the snow. She reached her arms out and lay down right where she was sitting so she could make a snow angel. She flailed out her arms and legs to create the wings and skirt before sitting back and up and looking at Jake while still giggling at her enjoyment of the snow. “How are classes treating you?” she asked him with a large smile while picking pieces of snow out of her long blond hair.
