Lee tried not to step on anything sharp while he walked through the high grass that separated the castle from the lake. It probably wasn't the best idea to walk amid the fields without any shoes, and sooner or later Griffith was going to pay for his stupidity. He was banking on sooner rather than later, and merely ten feet before the yellow beach that bordered the lake he turned out to be right. The student's bare foot landed upon a sharp rock, the stone cutting his heel open somewhat and producing blood. With a slight roll of his eyes, the young man continued on and finally reached the waterline.
With a winded look, he sat on the beach, bathing suit already wet as the tide rushed over him and the wound. It stung at first, but eventually the pain subsided. The warm air rushed around Liam, and without expecting it he laid back on the beach, eyes closing a few seconds later. He didn't know when he fell asleep, or how long he did for that matter. Griffith just knew that it was the best rest he ever received.

Chelsea felt like a little kid, sitting on the sand in her scarlet red bikini, scooping sand in her palms and letting it fall through her fingers. She wasn't a little kid though, she was fifteen, and she looked more like sixteen. Her legs were swung to the side and her hair up in a seemingly messy bun, strands poking out at every which angle, her side bangs falling in her eyes. She pushed a mound of sand together, unconsciously building a sandcastle. She smiled at the finished effect - a few mounds of sand pushed together. She stuck a twig on top as a "flag" as she used to do when she was younger, feeling nostalgia for those days when she could just play on the beach forever. She stood up, her feet squishing in the soft sand, leaving little ridges where her her toes were seperated. She peered down the peach and saw a figure lying on the sand, seemingly asleep. She approached him, notcing him to be an attractive male, maybe a year or two older than herself, and smiled. She wouldn't wake him. She sat a couple feet away, lying on her back, soaking up the sun rays.

Still in a deep sleep, Liam was surprised when he suddenly woke up, but the waves washing over him was a good enough warning. It seemed as though he spent most of the hour on the shaded part of the beach, and as a result the tide had slowly crept up around him. "Bloody hell." The young man stood up and started wiping the sand off his chest, before quickly circling around and trying to check if the seat of his swim trunks were covered as well.
However, when he noticed the younger girl a few steps away, Lee suddenly stopped circling and looked over at her with surprise. He didn't even hear her approach, and of course was slightly embarrassed about the entire sand and water fiasco. "Nice day isn't it?" He spoke to the girl after sitting back down on the sand, eyes searching out over the water with a small smirk on his face.

She chuckled a little bit, sitting up and bending her knees just so her feet rested flat on the sand, splashing the water on her legs.
"Gorgeous," she said, tilting her face up to the sky, squinting as a beam of sunlight hit her, slamming her hazel eyes shut. She turned her head back to face him. "You're in my house," she stated.

Lee laughed slightly at her remark, picking a stone up from the sandy beach and then throwing it into the water, watching as ripples spread out over the surface. The sunlight felt amazing, warmth providing him some comfort in the fall weather. Before long, it would be winter and snow would be upon the castle.
Griffith leaned back on his elbow and looked at the younger girl, thinking for a moment after she spoke. "Yes, I thought you looked familiar." He paused for a few seconds before continuing. "I must have seen you around the common room." It took the young man a few seconds before he realized that he hadn't introduced himself yet. "My name's Liam by the way."

"Chelsea," she said with a nod, picking up a handful of sand and letting it sift through her fingers, rolling the tiny rocks around in her palm. She tossed a few in the air, watching them fall back on her knee and bounce back to their friends in the sand. She flicked at a pebble with her fingernails, and laughed. "We may be some of the rare few who don't have a famous last name, like Potter or Weasley."

The young man gave her a slight nod after the introduction and followed it up with a few words. "Nice to meet you Chelsea." She was in one of the younger years, that much he could tell, but as to which one, Lee was stumped. If he had to guess though, he would have placed her in her fourth or fifth year. It took Liam a few seconds to realize that he was still looking at her, and so he quickly turned to gaze back over the water, noting the other students who were playing in the liquid.
Laughing at her comment, Griffith gave another nod of affirmation. "Tell me about it. I think everyone I meet is either a Weasley or a Potter." Then again, they were the new aristocracies, major wizarding families in the world. Yes the Griffiths were big, several hundred years earlier. Now though, it seemed as though everything was ruled by a Potter or Weasley.

(OCC;Whats wrong with having a famous last name.LOL)
Emma walked into the sand.The warmth resting onto her toes.She looked around the bech staring blanky through her sun glasses.Her hair was brown to day.So her apperance was unknown.The only thing that was the same was her eyes that were be hind her sun glasses that she rested on her head.Her blue bathing suit clashing with her whole body.She looked good.
She smiled seeing her best friend to Liam."Hey you two"she said with a giggle."Hi Chelsea,Liam what are you two up to.Oh yeah by the way it's me Emma Weasley"she said with a small laugh."Hay we don't rule what's wrong about a Weasley"she said with a giggle.

Liam turned to look at the new arrival, and smiled when he noticed who it was. Well it seemed as though everyone was outside the castle walls today, and Liam couldn't blame them. After all, this was one of the most beautiful days he had seen in years. Thankfully, reports said that the rest of the week would be just as good. Lee could only hope that they were true.
Waving slightly at the other Gryffindor, Liam leaned back again to the sand with only his elbows propping him up. However, when Emma started asking what was wrong with the Weasly name, Lee let his head fall back as he chuckled slightly. "There's nothing wrong with it. It just amazes me how many people are related to a Potter or Weasley."

"Says the girl who complains daily about having to live up to her name," Chelsea said, patting the sand next to her. "Come. Sit. Liam, this is my friend Chelsea, she's in Fourth year with me." She smiled to herselfr; she found it a little funny that Emma thought no one could recognize her just because of her hair. Her face was the same, after all.

"I'lll be sure," she said pretty sarcastically. Why would it matter, anyway? She curled her toes, squishing the sand between her toes, and leaned back on her hands so she was almost lying down.

"Okay," Chelsea said, not particularly caring. It annoyed her that her friend hated being known. She would kill to be known, but for now she was just a Gryffindor wallflower. Dated a couple guys, got mostly Es in her classes, but nothing special. Emma on the other hand...of course, it was annoying seeing all those famous names everywhere. But as long as you had one, you shouldn't shame it.

"It's not that I hate being known much but yet at time it seems that being known makes me quickly supposed to be a big shot trouble maker.I'm not a big shot at all.I'm not alway's the best at doing pranks heck I con't thikn I'm that good.But I like being me Emma Weasley."she said with a sigh.
At times to the death eaters Emma was just a personwho they despised by all means.But Emma know she was un like any person.She was differant.She was at time funny,sweet,and well a cool girl.She sighed staring out at the lake.
