Just An Escape (Melissa)

[Harley Clark]

Harley was just wandering around Hogsmeade, anything to get out of the house really, and he felt like finding someone either to wind up, confuse, or maybe even confide in but he wasn't holding out any hope, as he wasn't overly keen on going up to random people and introducing himself, like his normal confident self would.

Harley walked past Zonko's joke shop, it was filled with the usual childish first years and parents trying to control younger children, the Hogwarts holidays were always this eventful with kids entertaining one another with tricks, he noticed a blonde haired, rather attractive, young girl, maybe not much more then a couple of years younger than himself but looks can be deceiving but he decided to try and find her limits, to enjoy watching her get agitated in his company, that is if she would.

He walked into the shop quite casually flipping his hair from his eyes them drifting over to her in a non-obvious way, he walked behind her brushed her back slightly and stood next to her looking interested in something there, when a young kid came flying out of no-where and barged right into him pushing him into the girl causing her to end up on the floor "Hey watch where your going" He growled at the kid who quickly apologized and ran off he turned, a slight grin on his face and offered his hand to the girl "Need a hand?" He asked her

[Melissa Ortiz]

She had felt like someone had been trying to shake her awake. It was the weekend and what she need most right now was to sleep for a little while longer."Melissa Iveria Ortiz! Wake up now. Your going to miss going to Hogsmeade once again!!"She heard the familiar voice shout at her. "Stop shaking me, I'm awake."She laughed slightly before yawning and rubbing her eyes. Sitting up she looked at the girl that had been trying to wake her up. It was Ashlyn Henderson. She was always waking her up for things like this you would think she would of learned to get up on her own but not really.

She rushed off to the bathroom to brush her teeth and fix up her blonde locks. Once she was done with that she came out of the bathroom to see clothes neatly sitting on her bed.It's like I'm back home. She thought to herself as she quickly changed and grabbed her coat. She saw Ash at the foot of the steps and like she always did. Slid on the banister almost falling on her."Okay, I'm ready mother."She joked with her as they made their way out of the common room.

Once thay reached Hogsmeade Ashlyn seemed to have disappeared. Melissa was always getting lost or losing someone through the crowded streets. It was a good idea that she told Ashlyn where she would be in case they got separated. Tugging her coat tighter against her body she began to walk towards Zonkos. It had been a rather boring week. She couldn't remember the last time she through a slime filled balloon at someone. She opened the door to find the shop a bit crowded. Smiling to herself she began to browse around looking at the new items that were in supply. She felt like someone was standing right behind her and she was going to turn around to see who it was when she felt someone slam into her causing her to lose her balance and fall to the floor. If Ashlyn would of been here she would of caught her. Ashlyn always had good reflexes. She watched a kid run off before apologizing. She looked up at the guy who offered his hand to help her up. She smiled and nodded taking his hand as she got herself off the floor."Oh, thanks."She said as she brushed her hair out of her face.
