Robin wandered the castle grounds, the sun seeming to smile down on her dark-colored hair. Of course, she'd ditched class, again, but she could care less. The day was beautiful, so spend it inside? Grinning to herself, she looked up at the sky. Clouds rolled across it, blocking the sun for a moment or two, before moving on. Looking back down, her eyes laid on the forest. A chill ran down her spine. The forest would've been one of her favorite places, if she didn't have to go there every month, by force, and spend there for a night in pain.
Taking her yellow eyes off the dreaded place, she looked at the other sights of the grounds. The seemingly never ending lawns rolled on in lush green, the lake shimmering in the sunlight, concealing who-knows-what down there, the Whomping Willow pretending to be a harmless gaint tree, and the Qudditch Pitch was in the distant. Robin truly did love Hogwarts, it was her home away from home. Home wasn't quite as excepting as Hogwarts, but it was still where her parents were.
The fourth year decided to stop her wandering, and sat down on the lush lawns, staring out at the empty grounds. If she was spotted by a teacher, or another student, of course it would result in a detention. But she would care less. On a day like this, it was worth being outside and getting caught. Pulling her knees up to her chest, Robin continued to stare out at the grounds, completely unaware of the surrondings around her.

With the sun high in the sky, who would want to be inside? Of course, it was nothing special to Diego because where he came from it was always sunny. Even so, it never was one of his favourite things, spending a day inside when it was a beautiful day outside. He had a free period, which was supposed to be used for studying, he supposed he could have done his astronomy homework but he didnt feel like working. He stood on the steps, near the main door and looked outside. He could just about see the tops of the stands of the Quidditch pitch from here, but that was about it.
He walked over the gravel path, hearing the stones crunching and feeling them shift beneath his feet. It was too warm for robes so after his last lesson he had gone to get changed, back into his jeans. He walked the opposite way around, walking past the lake first, there were no waves on its surface today, though then again there was no wind. He carried on, coming to the forest, a place he had yet to explore, it looked dark in there, though what did he expect? It was a forest..
Diego got to the lawns and looked around them, they were empty, aside from one girl. She seemed to be in a complete world of her own, staring out over the grounds, not noticing anybody else. Diego walked over to her and knealt infront of her, waving a hand infront of her eyes, trying to see if this would bring her out of her trance. As Diego looked at her, he noticed her eyes were yellow, though didnt think too much on it. "Hello" he said with a smile on his face, falling back a bit so he was sat infront of her.

The scenery of the grounds had changed to the appearance of a boy, and then the boy's hand. At first, she assumed she had gone insane. One to many blows to the head running around had probably caught up with her. Blinking, she realized it wasn't an illusion, but the real thing. "Oh, hi.. Sorry, I thought I was going mental there for a moment." She laughed.
Letting go of her legs, and then positioning herself in 'pretzel' fashion, Robin smiled. "I'm Robin." Looking over the boy, he didn't have his robes on, and she wasn't quite sure what house he was in. But she was sure she'd seen the face some where.. Probably in the corridors or something? She wasn't sure. But she was sure that he was older, that was practically all she could confirm.

Diego laughed, he had figured she had thought he wasnt real, or hence just being in a world of her own since she had looked at him with a blank expression. "It's okay, many people would think that if they saw a place like this" Diego said as he looked around, thinking about what Muggles would do if they every found the wizard world.
"Diego" he said, though he saw her looking him over and figured she was trying to work out what house he was in, "Gryffindor, Sixth year." Diego looked up into the clear blue skies and watched as owls flew overhead, clearly lapping up the sunlight while they could. "So how come you're skipping class?" Though he looked at her and smiled, "Or of course if im wrong and you just have a free lesson?"

Robin smiled, and nodded in agreement. "Yeah.. It's funny to watch first years' faces when they first come here.. And Muggles' jaws would probably fall to the floor if they were ever able to find Hogwarts.." Looking at the castle, that was only yards away, she smiled. It was astounding how it had held up for so long. But then again, that was probably the work of magic alongside the castle's structure.
Looking back at the boy, who informed her his name was Diego, she smiled. "I'm a Gryffindor as well, though, I'm in my fourth year." Robin figured he was either new, or she really wasn't paying attention to students any more, not that she really had in the past. To busy escaping from her 'crime scenes' of knocked down armor and whatnot.
"Why would I want to sit in a dull classroom when I could be outside, soaking up sun?" She chuckled. Of course she attended classes, once in a decade, but she preferred to be outside, during the day. "I can assume you're using up your free time, considering you have it." From the corner of her eye, she could see other students, most likely sixth years enjoying their free time like Diego seemed to be, wandering the grounds. Only less then a year or so when she would be allowed to have free time, instead of making her own.
