Amanda needed some peace and quiet and with her notebook and guitar in hand had made her way to the lake. Flopping down on the grassy bank she looked up at the clear blue sky. She was deep in thought about her newest song, when a twig snapped behind her. She quickly sat up with a gasp. "Who's there?" she called as she whipped around...
((OOC: Amanda's hair is now black with blood-red streaks as opposed to being pink and purple like it was in class. just thought i'd let you know))

Caleb was wandering by down the lake when he noticed a girl sitting by the lake. He was going to approach her when he stepped on a twig. It cracked and he knew he was discovered. He heard her speak up. "Its Caleb Black." he replied as he sat down beside her. "So how are you?" he asked gazing across the lake.

Amanda smiled at the professor. "Hello professor. I'm good. You?" she paused, then continued, "What brings you out here?" the wind picked up, she shivered in her rather thin shirt.

" I am quite well. I just felt like a stroll by the lake so I could think. It is quite beautiful you know. The lake I mean." and Caleb smiled again. "What brings you to the lake?" he asked as the wind blew his hair into his face.

Amanda smiled. "A new song I just wrote. I need to practice it actually. So I came out here to play my guitar." she gestured towards the instrument as she said this.

"Would you mind if I listened? I would love to here some music right now." Caleb said as the wind picked up once more.

Amanda smiled brightly. She had been hoping someone would want to hear it. "Sure!" she picked up her guitar and launched into Find Yourself in You... "She never thought that she would Get her second chance Running so far from all she's ever known Convinced she's lost all meaning Where did her dreams go Still she knew that there was something more Don't be scared, there's someone there To say these words you need to hear [Chorus:] Don't let anybody tell you who you are (who you are) It's okay to let go, you're that shooting star (shooting star) Remember all you wished for Believe it will be true You will never find yourself anywhere else, find yourself in you Sometimes people tell you Be like me to fit in Do you know your identity is not in them Don't be scared there's someone there To say these words you need to hear Don't let anybody tell you who you are (who you are) It's okay to let go, you're that shooting star (shooting star) Remember all you wished for Believe it will be true You will never find yourself anywhere else, find yourself in you Why should I measure the world By someone else's design Oh I won't let this fly by Hey look over here I just found the real me Now it's your turn to see Now it's your turn to see Don't let anybody tell you who you are (who you are) It's okay to let go, you're that shooting star (shooting star) Remember all you wished for Believe it will be true You will never find yourself anywhere else, find yourself in you Find yourself in you Find yourself in you" she finished and looked at Professor Black. ((if you go here... myspace.com/xxxshadowsofmysoulxxx you can hear the song on my profile. that's what Amanda voice sounds like.)) |

Caleb was speechless after that riveting performance. After a moment he began to clap slowly, amazed that a first year had that much raw talent. Finally he spoke, "That was amazing! Your an amazing musician! I wonder if you have met the schools best drummer by chance. Mort Rainey? You two would make a great band." said Caleb still shocked by the performance.

Amanda snorted. "Unfortunately." she quipped dryly as she rolled her eyes. "He doesn't like me though. And for two extremely stupid and childish reasons, 1) I'm a Gryffindor, 2) I'm a first year." she paused, "I do like his friend Fernand though, he seems nice. And I have my two friends Girty and Grace, well and Loren as well."

"If anyone were to ask me," Rakki said, emerging from seemingly nowhere. "I'd say you sound like a dead cow." She gave Amanda a playful smile. "How many times do I have to tell you that you shouldn't even bother 'cause Merlin knows you'll wake the dead."

Amanda rolled her eyes. "Shut up." she laughed, then turned to Professor Black, "Professor, I'd like you to meet my sister Rakki. Well, we're not really sisters, but we're so close we consider ourselves to be sisters." she turned back to Rakki, "Rakki, this is Professor Black. The Potions Master."
((you're one to talk Sahara! you refuse to even sing! loser! =P))

Rakki took a sweeping bow at the professor. "Rakki Graveston at your service." She said professionally, looking up through her curtain of black hair to smile at him.

"Pleasure to meet you my dear." Caleb said going into a bow. He took her hand and gave it a small kiss. "What year would you be in?" Then he said to Amanda, "Well those aren't good enough reasons. Although Mort is the stereotype Slytherin. You mentioned Fernand. He is a great musician, but I say you might give him a run for his money! Fernand is a family friend of mine and I've known him since the day he was born. I expect he treated you with respect. He did didn't he?" Caleb said throwing a rock across the lake.

"Yes he did, in fact his exact words in reply to Mort were, 'Mort! Silence yourself man! This young lady happens to be a very great guitarist and singer! She might even be better than me! Next time think before you speak!'" she replied with a grin, as she began skipping stones across the lake.

Girty was sitting up a tree when she heard voices bellow. She was convinced at one point she heard her name and then other names were mentioned. Carefully climbing down the branches she noticed Amanda sitting with a Slytherin and Professor Black.
With a slight frown she jumped out of the tree and walked towards them all.
"You missed out the part when I hit Mort"
A smile filled her face as the Hufflepuff made her way towards the others.
