Early Morning Breakfast (Maryn)

[tristen]

Tristen woke a little early this morning. He had been up all night due to the scratching sound that his cat made on the bedroom door. Tristen hated the noise, and could never get any sleep while Scruffs was making it. Tristen opened his tired eyes, and placed his pillow over his head. He was so tired, and it was still a little dark outside. His roommates were still asleep, which was amazing because he always got up after his roommates, especially on the weekends. As he lye on his bed trying his hardest to go back to sleep, he felt paws on his leg. He removed the pillow, and raised his weak head just enough to where he could see Scruffs walking on him. Too tired to even hold up his head, he leaned back and closed his eyes. All of the sudden he felt something furry lay on his head. He opened his eyes just to discover that Scruffs had found a new bed to lay on. Tristen laughed a little. Tristen began to get bored so he decided to get up and do something.

He weakly rose from his bed, and walked toward the closet. He grabbed a jacket, and put on some jeans. He wasn't going to get all dressed up, since people were going to be asleep. He slipped on some shoes, and combed his curly blond hair. He walked to the bathroom, and rinsed his face with cold water. He also brushed his teeth, then went back to his room, to make sure he hadn't woken a roommate. He arrived at the room peeked in, and saw his roommates both in their beds laying, and snoring. He looked over at his bed, and saw Scruffs doing the same. He closed the door, and walked down passed the common room, and out toward the Great Hall. He arrived, and saw that breakfast stuff was out already. Maybe it wasn't as early as he had thought. He just tilted his head curiously, and walked over to his common room table. He saw not a single soul, but this girl. She was in his house of course, but she looked a little younger than him. "Excuse me, can I sit here?" Tristen asked sweetly, while giving his famous grin.

[Maryn Livley]

"Achoo!" Maryn's sneeze rang off the walls of her dorm room. How she hated to be sick. She had feeling all stuffy and hot. Maryn just hated the feeling of it all. However, she wasn't sick enough to go to the hospital wing nor did she want to. Maryn decided she would be satisfied with being sick for the time being. even though that was very hard. "Achoo!" She rang again. Amazingly, her dorm mates didn't stir at all and she gave a weak smile at that. Maryn then threw on her jeans and a plain crystal blue sweater. She put on her white tennis shoes with little pink spots on them and pulled out her wand. With a few flicks, her hair was pretty and brushed and with a few more, Maryn had dabs of make-up on. Although, it wasn't as much as usual. Maryn then flicked on a pair of blue dangle earrings weakly and put her wand in her pocket. Maryn didn't even bother checking in the mirror as she left. She just gave another loud sneeze and stopped out of the common room.

MAryn could feel the warm of the castle around her. It made her feel sticky and warm. Sure, it was a simple cold, but Maryn hated it none the less. Colds always slowed her down and made her day harder. They were difficult as they were but being sick made everything ten times harder to accomplish. At that moment, Maryn was so very glad it was the weekend and not a class day. She wouldn't be expected to do anything too important and that probably filled Maryn's joy factor for the day. "Achoo!" She sneezed again walking slowly through the halls. He sneeze rang off the walls and Maryn tilted her head slightly to shield it from the sounds. Some how, Maryn's ears were greatly affected when she was sick. They were so sensitive and warm. She hated that feeling as well. Maryn then lifted her head high and walked further until she reached the Great Hall.

Maryn couldn't exactly smell the great smells of the food as usual. She just had to rely on past days to tell her what things smelled like. It was rather funny actually. Maryn was tasteless and smell less. She couldn't help, but wonder who gave her this horrible cold. But, Maryn just found a lone spot at the Gryffindor table. She tiredly reached for some oatmeal and pumpkin juice. Maryn ate and drank softly until she heard someone approach her. She turned slightly and gave a weak smile to the boy. "Sure, you came." Maryn said. "I'm Maryn. I'm a third year. And you are?" Maryn smiled nicely trying her hardest not to sneeze again. She waited patiently for a response.

[tristen]

Tristen smiled at the poor girl. She looked ill. "Thank you." "And nice to meet you my name is Tristen Cortson, I'm a fifth year Gryff." He replied taking a seat next to the girl who introduced herself as Maryn. "Are you feeling well?" Tristen asked concerned. He had always been very caring, and compassionate, and loved to help people. "If you do I could walk with you to the Hospital Wing.." Tristen offered quieting his voice so not to give her a head ache. He could tell she had a cold. Lots of people were getting them. the sneezing, coughing, and such were normal. Tristen always took it upon himself to help some one you was sick, or upset. He looked over at the delicious food, still waiting for a response, he got a plate, and some toast. He took a bite of his toast, and pick up a glass of pumpkin juice.

He sipped from the class carefully, as to not spill any. Tristen looked around the large warm room. The aroma amazing as usual. He spied some other students that seemed to also be a little on the sickly side. Every time Tristen got sick when he was home his mom would coop him up in his bedroom, and make him lay with heavy blankets covering every inch of him. then he would have to eat nothing but crackers, and chicken noodle soup.. For every meal. It was so terribly bad, but Tristen loved to be outside, and being cooped up inside to do nothing wasn't his idea of a fun day. Tristen snapped out of his little flashback, and took a bite of his toast.
