[Grace]

Brenda sighed... she never was good at friend-making. Silently, she stood to live. She headed for... well, anywhere. She wanted to see Ani. They were kinda friends.
Unfortunately, her thoughts were interrupted by a pesky puddle she slipped on. Her arms extended to try and save herself from the fall, but they too slipped and she landed on her face. She cut her chin, cut her chin so badly it would scar if she wasn't a metamorphmagus.
Brenda started crying and everything turned blood red. Her hair, her eyes, her lips, her nails... everything but her wet white dress, tears, and skin was scarlet.
And then it happened. Pain happened.
Everything flooded to her at once. The floodgates were broken and she was screaming in agony. To have one's parents dead is one thing, but to not know if they have yet to meet their demise or have already met it is another thing. To not know if your parents love you. To not know if they are good people or bad people. To not know was too much.

Ani danced down the hall... and found Brenda lying on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. Her eyes widened to enormous proportions. "Brenda?" She hurried to the girl's side, kneeling beside her. "Brenda?" Something was very wrong...

[Grace]

Brenda couldn't hear Ani over all the noise of her hurt.

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

Ani touched Brenda's shoulder, leaning down towards her, her own face filled with concern. "Brenda? Brenda can you hear me? What's wrong?"

[Grace]

With scarlet eyes, Brenda looked at Ani. With scarlet lips she spoke in a terrible, terrible whisper, "It hurts, Ani. Hurts too much."

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

Ani's heart sunk. "Brenda..." She held out a hand to the girl, her eyes horribly sad. "Come on, sit up. We can... talk, okay?"

[Grace]

Brenda propped herself up on her elbows, a blood mark on her dress from her chin, "Too not know... too much, Ani."

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

Ani slowly moved to sit beside the girl. Cautiously, she slipped an arm around Brenda's shoulders, gently hugging her. "What do you mean?"

[Grace]

Brenda's hair and eyes turned brown. It was a good sign, because brown was one step closer to green, and that meant Brenda was one step closer to emotional stability.
"My parents... don't exist... or do... I don't know."

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

How could you not have parents? Ani didn't understand. "What do you mean?"

[Grace]

"They're gone!" Brenda turned scarlet again as she threw herself upon Ani.

[Autumn]

((OH MY GOODNESS THE POSTS. THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. Hello, everyone. I liked reading your posts about the fictional characters and about your lives. I think we should all have a party. A cool party with balloons and cake. Yes. [please ignore me as I have been studying for many hours and my brain is mush]))

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

((Haha, I love you Autumn!))

Ani hugged Brenda, simply offering her love and waiting for Brenda to cry it out.

[Grace]

"What about you, Ani?" Brenda asked into Ani's shoulder, her hair and eyes a true blue, "Do you have your parents?"

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

Ani turned away at that, trying not to think of it, but immediately feeling the itching sensation of blood drying on her hands. She closed her eyes, and her chest heaved for a moment as she fought for control of her emotions. "No."

[Grace]

The answer caught Brenda off guard, she was usually on her own little parent-less island. She pulled away from the hug and smiled weakly, "I guess we're in the same boat, then."

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

Ani nodded, though she felt uncertain inside. "Yeah."

[Grace]

Darin walked with a bit of a limp. We was twirling his wand sadly between his fingers, when he lost control of it and hit Ani's head. He recognized her from the lake.
He tried to go un-noticed when her went on all fours to retrieve his wand, but Brenda wouldn't let him.
"You..."

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

((Where are they, by the way?))

"Who?" Ani asked, looking to Brenda with obvious confusion.

[Grace]

{In a... hall? o.O}

Brenda stood, as a scared expression played across Darin's pale face, "The boy from the lake." On the bright side, Brenda was emotionally stable and was 100% back to green.

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

((Okay, thanks.))

Ani blinked at Brenda, and then looked curiously between her and the boy.

[Grace]

Darin stood, "You're name is Brenda, right?"
Slowly, Brenda nodded.
"Well, Brenda, I'm sorry..." he pointed to her chin, "lemme... lemme get that for you." Before Brenda could refuse or move, Darin had gotten out his wand and said, "Episkey."

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

Ani slid shyly behind Brenda, hugging her knees to her chest.

[Grace]

Brenda said, "Thank-you," and Darin replied with a "You're welcome," then whispered,:
"Do the bruises make me look intimidating?" he nodded towards Ani.

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

Ani's eyes flicked towards Darin as he spoke, though they returned quickly to the ground.

[Grace]

Darin kneeled, "I am exceptionally sorry if I frighten you, miss."
Brenda's eyebrows raised so now he magically has etiquette?

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

Ani blinked at him, frozen. She wasn't shy with Brenda anymore, but this boy--He seemed... different. So very different. "You don't really." She lied, but that was beside the point. "It's- it's okay."

[Grace]

"You look mortified, miss. Pardon me for saying this, but it's not me you should be should be scared of," he lifted up his school shirt and sweater revealing a gallery of bruises and sores, "It's the people who gave this to me you should fear."

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

Ani shook her head, further retreating into the ball she had curled herself up into. "I'm sorry, I don't even know you." It was her way of saying she didn't trust him.

[Grace]

"I see," he stood, forcing himself not to cry, "Adieu." He walked away asking God why he was unlovable.
/--\

Brenda sat next to Ani, "Don't let Darin scare you," she smiled and brushed a stray tendril of hair from Ani's face.

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

Ani frowned, biting down on her bottom lip. She glanced at Brenda, her eyes wide with thought. Nodding at the girl's words, she ran after Darin. "I'm sorry, please wait!"

[Grace]

Dubiously, Darin turned and stopped. Brenda followed Ani.

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

"I'm sorry," Ani blurted, tripping over her words. "I really didn't mean to offend you, honest."

[Grace]

He answered honestly, "I was not offended, just saddened, miss."

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

"I--" She started intently examining a fingernail. "I can be very shy sometimes."

[Grace]

"I see."

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

She didn't know what else to stay, and simply stood there in awkward silence.

[Grace]

"Could we... be friends?" he held out his hand for Ani to shake.

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

Ani looked up at the boy's face, mildly startled, and found nothing but kindness. Her gaze turned to his outstretched hand, and back to his face. "...I suppose so." Her face split into a shy smile as she shook his proffered hand.

[Grace]

{I've gotta go ):}
In his head, Darin did a little celebratory dance, I've got a friend! he thought, "Excellent."

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

((_ :( Goodbye!))

Ani looked at him curiously. He was a mildly strange boy...

[Grace]

Brenda decided to break the silence, "Now that we're all friends, why don't we study for the the transfiguration test Professor Petrov was for us?"

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

Ani made a face. "Right. That."

[Grace]

"We're in different houses, well at least Brenda and I are. Thanks to the fact it's Saturday and we're out of our uniforms, I can't tell if you're in the same house as her... I'm sorry I don't now you're name," Darin blushed
/--\
Brenda thought it would be polite to allow Ani to introduce herself.

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

((Apparently I've spelled Ani's name with two n's (Anni) in her profile. Which makes sense, what with her name being Anniya and all... Changing spelling to Aniya to keep Ani.))

Ani grinned slightly at the boy's blush. It was cute. "My name's Ani, I'm in Gryffindor. What house are you in?"

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

((Lied, her nickname is just going to have two spellings... Lol.))

[Grace]

{LOL}

No! She can't be in Gryffindor! Arghh!, he thought, but he easily managed to hide his thoughts and kindly said, "Slytherin, but the hat said I was in a tie with it and Hufflepuff. I chose Slytherin 'cuz I know my mother and father would disown me if I wasn't in Slytherin."

[s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§», Charms Master]

"I don't think mine would care," Ani said dryly, looking away. "Should we all go practice?"

[Autumn]

((As usual, I am late to respond. I LOVE YOU TOO, KENZIE. And and LITTLEDOLPHIN!!!))

[Grace]

s•u•n•s•h•i•n•e «§KENZ§» wrote: ""I don't think mine would care," Ani said dryly, looking away. "Should we all go practice?""

{My translation may be off, I did the Dutch translation from memory}

Brenda knew of the rivalry between the Slytherin and Gryffindor houses, and decided to step in, "Good idea... we need to find a place semi-private that we can all go to." As she always did when thinking, Brenda begun to pace. When she turned around the third time, the wall to her right changed to a door.
"What..?" she noticed an inscription on the door it read, U kunt hier alleen invoeren als je moet, en als je moet, vindt u in wat u zoekt.
"That's Dutch," she said, "It means... 'You can enter only if you need to... and if you need to, see... what you need," she paused, "I think."

/--\

"What do reckon's in there?" asked Darin.
