| | |  Battlements
 High above overlooking the lake and a section of the grounds are the castle battlements. During the Battle of Hogwarts, the battlements where used to defend the school from Lord Voldemort and his allies. This is also where Sirius Black rode away on Buckbeak the hippogriff, but keep that hush hush. Though some damage remains, the battlements remain fairly intact and provide an opportune place to be when an enemy is approaching.
Though there hasn't been a full-blown battle at Hogwarts for many years, the battlements nonetheless provide a nice view from a high vantage point. More often than not, the Giant Squid can be seen bathing himself in the sunlight; thestrals (if you can see them) fly above the trees at the edge of the lake; and if you look closely you'll be able to follow the road that leads to the Entrance Gates. If you're feeling up to climbing the tight spiral staircase to get there, know that it is worth the effort. There are wooden crates and barrels for you to sit on at the top should you need to catch your breath.

Odaline needed a break from the busy that was the student population of Hogwarts. Her parents had made the worst choice of their lives in sending her here and she had no longing whatsoever to be here much longer. However, all of her letters home had been ignored.. was she here just to be out of the way? She wasn't that bad, right?
Whatever.
Sat down with her History of Magic textbook, Oda was enjoying the quiet.

Sat down with her History of Magic textbook, Oda was enjoying the quiet. The first weeks back to Hogwarts had been entertaining to say the least. New headmaster, new staff, crazy classes, dorm room happenings. As much as Farah was trying to enjoy it, which she did, she also couldn’t help but have an underlining sadness to it all. These were all things that she would have wrote her dad about. She could picture him reading the letter and then laughing before writing back with some sarcastic but funny comment. They’d been like best friends. This was her first year without him.
So needing some time away from all the... entertainment... Farah made her way to the Battlements. It was a place she usually enjoyed peace and quiet by her self.
.......
Except someone was already here.
“ oh hi.” She said, surprised to see someone up here because usually it was empty. It had the perfect view though. “ Mind if I join you?” Farah asked without waiting for an answer. She put down her bag and quickly took in the view while breathing. Yeah, she definitely needed this.

“[b]oh hi.[/]” She said, surprised to see someone up here because usually it was empty. It had the perfect view though. “[b]Mind if I join you?[:b]” Farah asked without waiting for an answer. She put down her bag and quickly took in the view while breathing. Yeah, she definitely needed this. [color=#8C7E6C]Peace and quiet.. Just what Odaline needed and craved. Being at home encouraged that and being here most certainly did not. Children were dreadfully loud and obnoxious and it seemed that Hogwarts harboured the absolute worst of their kind.
She wasn't even alone for long and with a sigh she looked at the the person that had asked to join. "Yes." She muttered quietly, closing her textbook onto her finger and narrowing her eyes. Hufflepuffs.

Hufflepuffs. With her bag down beside her, Farah took a few moments to collect herself and breathe in the air before she looked over at the girl and realized that she had closed her book and was.... narrowing her eyes at her.
" Problem?" Farah asked the girl, turning her attention more to her. " You didnt have to close your book. I didnt mean to interrupt your reading." My woooord. But, Farah wasn't going anywhere. Sorrynotsorry | |

Sorrynotsorry Did she have a problem? Odaline could have answered 'yes' and listed every single one of them. Not being alone, knowing that if she looked back at her book..she wouldn't be able to focus, not being alone. And all of the others that she found herself bothered by everyday.
Instead, she said one word. "Interrupt." And left the girl to take from that what she wanted.
And opened up her book again.

Farah was expecting a longer answer than the one that was given to her regarding her problem. The way the girl was looking at her, you'd think that she was going to give her more than one word.
Interrupt.
Well Farah could definitely interrupt her more if she wanted. Some of her best friends were her friend after she'd interrupted them... and quite frankly, annoyed them enough to be friends with her. Flynn being a prime example. She tried to hide the smirk as she sat cross legged and fixed her skirt that it went over her knees and she put the book in the middle of her crossed legs in order to read. She didnt need to interrupt this girl more.
What she didnt notice... was that when she had opened her bag to grab things out of it earlier, that one of her ink containers had spilled and was currently in a puddle, creeping towards the girl.
