Relaxing (open)

[Lana ClavesBourne]

Lana sat by the shore of the lake staring out blankly. It was already shaping out to be a very stressful day. She had stormed out of break fast this morning because some third years were annoying her. Lana felt proud of herself for not having done anything to them. Many ideas had popped into her mind, one being that they would look wonderful as someone's pet toad. Lana sighed loudly as she searched her robes. Pulling out a pack of cigarettes she placed one in her mouth and lit it.

Inhaling deeply and imagining herself being anywhere right now comforted her. She wondered what exactly her sister Lux was doing now. Her sister had an odd lifestyle. She didn't care about magic and mostly didn't want to have anything to do with the family, except Lana. She took another long drag from her cig and blew the smoke out slowly. Lana picked up a stone and threw it in the lake trying to make it skip.

The stone quickly sank making a loud kerplunk. She was never good at skipping stones and cursed under her breath. "Why can't anything exciting happen here." Lana was dying for anything different to happen. Why couldn't someone remotely interesting go to this school. Why didn't anyone want to do anything dangerous or fun. Lana felt the urge lately to anything wild. She wanted to sneak out and get a tattoo last week, but found herself unable to sneak out at night.

How she wished anyone had these feeling like she did. Lana flicked her cigarette butt into the water and laid down closing her eyes. Maybe she could imagine being somewhere better.

[Artemis Regimus]

He walked out on the grounds of the school. Typical day at Hogwarts, once again. He kept his hands in his pockets as he walked on the grounds. Nothing exciting has happened in forever. No interesting people to talk with, no trouble to cause, and none of his friends were really interesting anymore. All seemed to have drifted off to do their own thing at the school. he sighed and made his way towards the lake. He usually went their to relax and take his mind off of things, infact, most people did, but no one was ever there when he went. He walked closer and spotted someone sitting by the lake. Seems he was wrong about no one being there when he was. He got closer and recognized her as Lana Clavesbourne. Her family and his knew each other for years. Being a pureblood, families tend to know each other. He spotted the cigarette in her mouth as he got closer. He wasn't a smoker himself, but he didn't mind when others did.

He walked closer and stood kinda next to her, but didn't say anything just yet. He had heard the last bit of what she said, something about exciting happening. He assumed she wanted something to happen. he continued to stand somewhat next to her as she laid back on the grass. He leaned over and picked up a rock of his own and held it in his hand, still not making much noise. He twirled the rock once more, giving it a hard toss to the water, watching as it skipped 3 times before falling into the water. The sound surely would of made his presence known to her now. He looked towards her and smirked slightly. "Normally I don't see anyone coming out here to the lake Miss Clavesbourne. Especially when I'm come out here" he continued to look at her then looking back to the lake. Going quiet. just thinking quietly to himself before speaking again after a few moments. "What brings you out here anyway?"

[Lana ClavesBourne]

Lana heard a voice near her comfort zone and peeked up. "Hello there Regimus." She said using his last name. Lana tended to do that with those she knew. She eyed him before sitting up. "I enjoy the outdoors." She joked shrugging and deciding to stand. "Well you know me I love to swim." She joked. Even though she did enjoy it every now and then it wasn't something she was known for.

Lana eyed Regimus. Their families had known each other for quite awhile. Being both pure bloods and of some kind of wealth it was obvious they would know eachother. It was the way with a lot of people in Slytherin. Lana walked over towards Artemis. "Well why are you out here. I see no one ton terrorize." She said playfully looking around.

He was attractive and had captured her eye a few times but honestly Lana didn't know much about him. It was almost as though they were expected to become quick friends so they hadn't bothered to actually get to know one another.
