Write much poetry? (Katie)

[Mia]

It was still a cold spring day. The rain was purring outside, making sure that life would bloom back. Maria was in an empty class room sitting on a desk with her legs out in front of her. A read note book lay open on her lap, and a muggle pen was in her hands. A large smile was on her face as she watched the rain drop to the ground. There was something about it that made her feel special inside. Maria had never felt that feeling before, only once, but that was when her mother was alive. A frown than appeared on her face as she thought of home. Nothing seemed to be going right. Her sister was now pregnant and expecting a baby next year. Most people would feel happy but not Maria. Her life seemed to be planned, after Hogwarts she would enter the wizarding world and work. But she wondered if she should but that off to make sure the baby was okay. Sighing Maria tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears and looked back out the window, and trying not to remember of home.

The rain was making a lovely noise on the window. It went, drip, drip, drip. Closing her eyes, Maria tried to concentrate on a poem. Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves she let her mind wonder. It wonders from one word to the next. "Rain........ Summer........ Peace....... Harmony" she went on letting her mind work. Maria was a skilled writer and always told her poem to others. Her words of wisdom and hope seemed to make the person happy and find the light again. A large smile spread across her face as she began to scribble down words. A musical melody filled her mind and she let herself sing silently. It was a song from her all time favorite musical, Phantom of the opera. Maria had seen it almost 20 times and was still dazed at the performers. Some of the pitches seemed to be high and the stress it most have caused. It was a secret that Maria liked opera. Most people were into the pop and rock music the muggle world had to offer. Even know some of the muggles had great voices.

"Say you'll love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you" She sang into the empty room reaching the high notes perfectly.

Maria was in a daze as she was writing and singing. A good feeling went through her body as she was at peace. Writing and singing opera always seemed to do that to her. Closing her eye she swayed back and forth and continued to sing. The melody filled inside of her mind making sure she would not forget how it went. Just than some one entered the room and Maria was startled. Rolling over towards the ground she got up right away and laughed. "I am sorry you just stalred me. Who are you and were you watching me this whole time?" Maria asked the younger student with a warm and welcoming smile on her face.

Katie was wandering aimlessly around the castle, which was not something she often did. There was a light rain outside which made a soft pitter-patter sound through out the castle as the water droplets tapped against the outside of Hogwarts’ stone walls. Today was not a day for reading and nothing else seemed to suit Katie’s fancy which is why she was shuffling around the humongous school. She rubbed her hands together, trying to spread some warmth throughout her body. It was a cold March day, and despite the many fires lit inside the castle the air was still very cool.Sighing, Katie turned the corner and entered into another corridor. She heard a light sweet sound float through the hallway. It sounded like singing.

Interested, Katie followed the voice to a classroom. She slowly creaked open the door and saw that a girl a little older than herself was the source. The girl was singing the sweet melody of a familiar opera. Katie couldn’t quite remember which opera it was from or what the song was, but she remembered hearing it before. Katie did not realize that she had let go of the door handle until she heard it slam shut, causing the room’s other occupant to start. “Oh I’m terribly sorry! I didn’t mean to startle you. Are you alright? I’m Katie Robbins, Hufflepuff. I’m in the fifth year. Are you hurt? I am so sorry, I wasn’t here long I just heard you out in the hall and . . . I am so sorry.” Katie’s face turned bright red as she stumbled over her rambling.

Maria stood up from the ground and wiped off the dust on her jeans and shirt. A smile was on her face as she walked over towards the young girl. "Don’t worry about it. You just startled me that am all. At least I didn’t break my arm." Maria said laughing at her phrase and trying to make Katie feel a little more at ease. Taking the girls hand, Maria pulled her more into the room and sat down in one of the tables and looked at the younger girl with a grin on her face. Maria wanted to get to the younger students here at Hogwarts, and her sweet nature always got the best of her. "Now Katie what are you doing wandering the castle right now? Wouldn't you be in the common room with friends or at the library?" Maria asked hoping to start a conversation with the girl. She could always use more friends.

((Sorry not in a really good posting mood as Maria. I just wanted to get all her post done with so I wont have to worry about them.))

She sighed with relief as the girl told her she was alright. And sat down across from her as she was led inside of the room. "Well, I've finished all of my homework and I didn't really feel like reading so that turned me away from the library. And I didn't recognize anyone in the common room, so I really hadn't any idea what to do. I just heard you singing. It was really good by the way." It took her a moment to catch her breath after the excitement she had just experienced and then speaking immediately afterwards, but once her breathing was back to normal and her thinking had cleared Katie realized she hadn't a clue who this girl was, "I'm sorry, but I didn't catch your name."

((It's okay. I'm not really in a posting mood either. I'm in a shopping mood, and yet I have no money. So sad.))

Maria crossed one left over the other and rested her elbow on the table as she listened to Katie talk about being in the library. The fifth year sounded so much like her in her very young years. But now Maria was studying extra hard for NEWT.s and hoping to work in the ministry for magical creatures department. It consisted of the wizarding animals and even Arithmancy which is Maria's favorite class in the world. It was always fun to use muggle math to find your or some else’s inner and outer self. Some of the traits even surprised Maria and she always loved to do that to some other people also. There was also the love of tarot cards and finding some ones future or past or just present. But Maria did not know much about the cards and rarely used them. She never did something that didn't seem fun to her or anyone else.

Pulling her long curly brown hair into a pony tail she looked at Katie and smiled. "It's Maria we met at Dana's party remember. I was off the whole night with Mr. Versnowa sorry about that." Maria said with feeling guilty inside. She let this girl hand on a thread just to have fun with another person. Well Maria was going to make it up to the girl and spend almost the whole day with her. Well since it was a Saturday and dinner wasn’t until a couple hours so that could count as the whole day. Smiling Maria looked at Katie and wondered what to ask. "Do you like horses?" she blurted out turning slightly red at her actions.
