Avery sighed as she walked up to the edge of the duck pond, it was so peaceful in this part of Hogwarts and she liked it. It was so different from all the loud kids passing and knocking into you in the school halls. The school was made only slightly more bearable by the fact she now had Alec as a friend. She hoped she'd make more friends soon.

When Avery got to the duck pond, she sat down and slipped off her dainty shoes, then dipped her toes in the water. It was cold, but in a strangely refreshing way, she closed her eyes as she swayed her feet around in the water. All she could ask for now would be some company.
