Dwelling on the Future (Stacy)

Bill's back pack was weighing heavily on his shoulder as he made his way through the courtyard. Classes had just finished, and he was planning to go return to his dormitory so that he could put his things away and head to the Quidditch Pitch. However, he changed his mind and sat down on one of the low walls, his back leant against a pillar. His dropped him bag onto the stone floor and closed his eyes.

His thoughts wandered, to his classes and then to his family home. Though he loved Hogwarts, Bill wished that he could be at home in his own room. Better still, he wished he could be working in order to help his family. But there was no way he could do that without a complete education, so that is the only reason that he persevered. One day he would have a great job, of that he had promised himself. He had always admired his father, who despite everything had done all he could for his family and holds a job that Bill thought was fantastic. It was hard, though, supporting such a large family.

It was while he was deep in thought that someone walked close by and he opened his eyes, wondering who it was. Most of the other students were probably already in their dormitories.

Stacy had finished all her classes and now she was wandering around the school. She haven't been here long time, it's here first time here and she still tends to get here lost. But she wants to get familiar with her school so that's why she tends to wander around the school when she has free time.

She ended up walking into the courtyard, she has been here already once but she just walked then pass by it. She didn't find here nothing interesting back then. Now she saw here one older boy who she didn't know who sure. Okay actually she didn't know not much people, expect few students for quidditch pitch and that's all so far basically, oh and other girl from library too.

She looked at that boy few seconds and then she did pretend like she haven't seen him, since she didn't like to start speak with strangers first, and looked just at front of her.

Bill frowned and tilted his head. He didn't recognise the girl, but that didn't mean he wouldn't talk to her. In fact, she was one of the few people who were still in the courtyard, which made him wonder what she had been doing. "Hey!" He said, smiling at the girl and sitting up into a proper position. Lounging in front of other people may be considered rude. "Excuse me! What's your name?" In a way, he kind of wished that he had simply kept his eyes closed, but he didn't mind talking to somebody new. It was always interesting to meet people, and the girl looked like she was a bit younger than him. Maybe even a first year.

Stacy looked at that boy once again when she heard him saying 'hey'. "Hey," she said back to him and walked little bit close to that boy, who looked like he was older than her for sure. One or two years. "I'm Stacy and you are?" She didn't mnd talking and meeting new people.

Bill smiled as the girl turned and spoke to him. "I'm Bill, what are you doing out here. Everyone else seems to have cleared out." She seemed nice enough, since she had even decided to talk to him. He liked to meet new people, and even though this girl seemed to be a bit younger than him, he didn't mind trying to become friends with her.

"I'm just walking around I guess. I was bored and decided to look around the castle I guess," she told then her reason and smiled. She could have read or done something else but she liked to take walks too sometimes and she still and so many places to explore around the castle and in it. But meeting new people awhile doing it was nice too.

Bill smiled and nodded. He often got bored when all of his school work was done and he couldn't find anything else to do. At least there was plenty of the castle to explore. He had been doing so frequently for the past four years and he was still finding something new every now and then. "There is always something that you can find in the castle. If you look hard enough."
