Morgan lay on her back on one of the benches in the courtyard, her feet propped up and crossed at the ankle on the arm-rest. She held a book open and in front of her face and rested her head on the other arm. Her blonde hair was loose and hanging through the planks of the bench. Morgan donned Capri-jeans, a Ravenclaw tee, and brown leather sandals. She loved the warmer weather and planned to take advantage of as much of it as she could before winter came. Morgan loved the winter as well, but there was just something about being out in the warm sun...

A slight breeze played with the edge of the cloak of Kestrel's uniform. She had taken to exploring the castle grounds, as there wasn't much else she could do and she had no desire to spend her entire stay in the dorms. Her travels led her to an enclosed courtyard. It was charming as the rest of Hogwarts seemed to be. As she walked across the way she noticed a lone girl laying on a bench with a book in hand. Her robes identified her as Ravenclaw, the house that her own shared dorms with. Kestrel walked over curiously and leaned her back against the bench's support, her gaze facing away from the girl. "Do all Ravenclaws enjoy that? Reading?" she asked her quietly.

Morgan lowered her book to see who had spoken to her. She didn't recognize the voice, or the girl who was leaning against the bench she was laying on. She did, however, recognize the robes she wore as Araneae, the WolfClaw house which were living in her house's dorm. "Well, not all of us, but a fair amount of us do find books interesting," she answered sitting up and crossing her legs to sit Indian-style. Morgan closed her book resting it in her lap, "I'm Morgan Prince. What's yours? Would you like to sit down?" She tried to remember if she had seen this girl in the Ravenclaw dorms or not. Being that there were so many there now, it's hard to say if their paths had crossed yet.

"Nice to meet you, my name's Kestrel Olander and I don't think I'll ever understand your love of books, unless of course the day one captures my attention appears." She smiled slightly and took the offered seat with a thank you. She tapped the cover of the book in Morgan's lap. "Like this one, what's so interesting about it?"

"It's nice to meet you Kestrel. That's a very nice name," Morgan said as the girl joined her on the bench. "I don't like all books, but there are lots of topics that I find interesting. You just need to find out what they are. Then, you can find topics that are similar to your favorites and who knows, they might become favorites, too," she added in regards to Kestrel's remarks about Ravenclaws and their books. When she asked about the book Morgan was reading, she just smiled. "Well, this one is about old stories from ancient wizarding cultures. Like, myths and legions from all different magical people from all over the world. It really is quite good," she said, grey-blue eyes sparkling in the sunlight. "What do you like to read about?" she asked.

"Thank you," she said shyly. "You have have a good name for a witch, many famous witches named Morgan or the like." Kestrel's smile grew as she listened to the girl and she laughed slightly. "You're very," she took a moment to find the word. "Passionate when you speak. It is nice." She nodded. "Myths and legends seem like an interesting topic. I believe they hold some semblance of truth in them. Me?' She looked down for a second in thought. "I'm not sure, I don't read much. But perhaps this," Kestrel nodded her head at the book. "Is something that I could be interested in."

Morgan smiled at Kestrel's comment about her name, "My mother told me that she and my father named me for the witch in the King Arthur story. Morgan Le Fay, I think..." When the Araneae mentioned that she was passionate when she talked, she couldn't help but color slightly. "It's easy to be passionate about something you care about. Books just hold all kinds of escapes for me. I started reading when I was really young. Anything I could do to escape from real life was what I searched for, and books always came through for me," she said thoughtfully. When Kestrel mentioned that she might be interested in the book Morgan was reading, she smiled and handed it to her. "Here, go ahead and read it. You can give it back when you finish," she said happily.

She blinked and eyed Morgan curiously. That was one Morgan that she did not consider a good person to be named after. "They named you after a dark witch? Odd parents," the last bit escaping as a murmur. Kestrel made a sound of agreement, all the whilst wondering to herself when she would find something to be as passionate about as the girl sitting beside her. "Mmm, you must not have liked reality much," she said not unkindly. Then a book was placed in her hands. Kestrel looked down at it for a moment before holding it closer to her chest. "Oh, thank you." She said gratefully, staring at the book as if it were a thing of legends. She shook herself and looked back up at Morgan. "Will you enter the tournament," she suddenly asked.

Morgan wasn't surprised by Kestrel's response to her story of her name, being a pureblood, many witches and wizards felt that this name, while perhaps tied to a dark witch, was a good match for a young Prince-ling. "I don't think it's so much that my parents wanted me named for a dark witch, but, being a pureblood and part of the Prince family, they wanted something... I don't know.... Different, I guess," she said, pulling her knees to her chest. "I don't really see her as a dark witch, anyways. Maybe more missunderstood..." When Kestrel comment about Morgan's apparent dislike for reality, she nodded gently. "My childhood was...compliated. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows as some might think a pureblood childhood is," she commented quietly. "What was it like for you growing up?" she asked looking at the girl. She smiled when Kestrel accepted the book. "I really do think you'll like it, Kestrel. Enjoy it!" Morgan said with a smile. When the Araneae asked if Morgan would enter the tournament, Morgan shook her head with a small smile. "No, I'm not entering," she said. "But, I'm going to cheer for the champions. Are you going to enter?"

Kestrel's face adopted a frown. She had a feeling that the Prince family must be quite important but she hadn't the slightest clue who they were, the name rung no bells. "Perhaps she was," she shrugged. "I think that half-bloods and muggleborns have all the fun. The life of a pureblood seems... difficult to say the least; most have reputations to uphold as yours probably does." Her shoulders rose and fell in a what-can-you-do gesture. "At least you've grown up different from your family's image or so I'm guessing." Kestrel sighed when the inevitable question was asked. "I don't know what it was like. Perhaps it was like yours, perhaps not, I wouldnt know." There wasn't even a trace of sadness in her voice. She had come to accept that she would probably never know.

She smiled and thanked Morgan for the millionth time that day. She nodded and thrummed her fingers on the book. "No, I might cheer along with you. Or not, I need a change sometimes."

"I have, much to my family's dissappointment," she said in response to Kestrel's comment about her growing up different from her family. "Most of them are hoping that I will snap out of the way I am and join their way of thining..." she added. Morgan's face saddened when she heard Kestrel speak about not knowing what it was like for her growing up. "You don't remember your childhood?" she asked gently.

"Not likely," Kestrel said in response to her family's hopes. "You do not seem like the type; and at least it seems you have some among them that accept that you are as you are." She said referring to the fact that Morgan had only said 'most of them'. Kestrel was a bit surprised to see the doleful expression on Morgan's face. Afterall it was not she who had no recollection of the past. Then again, she didn't think she would understand most people's feelings toward such things. She shook her head with a small smile, "I cannot remember my life at all. Only my name and even that was almost lost to me; but it doesnt upset me. Of course I am curious as to who I was, who wouldn't be? But there is not much I can do about it, so I accept it." She promptly shut her mouth. She did not talk to many people and outside of the orphanage staff, she had not divulged that information to many.

Morgan nodded, "My mother and father are....tollerant of who I am. Sure they'd like it if I was like the rest of the family, but they are happy that I can be my own person." Even this year when everything came to a head... Mother and Father were still happy to have me as I am... "Oh, Kestrel..." Morgan cooed at hearing about the girl having no memory other than her name that would give her a link to the past. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to not have any memories of her past. Even if some of it should would like to forget, not having a past at all must be horrible. But, then a small smile crept onto Morgan's face, "I'm glad that you have moved on, so to speak. Is there any way to maybe learn about your past?"

She smiled gently, "It is good that you have them." She blinked at Morgan's question. "I...I never thought to look. But I suppose I could look into my name but I wouldn't know where to start." She sighed. "And there is no point asking the people who found me. I asked them the day I was found and to this day they claim to have no knowledge of anything pertaining to me." She gripped her skirt tightly. "Yet I know they are hiding something from me."

Alice had decided to go on a walk around Hogwarts as it was a sunny afternoon. Walking near the Transfiguration Courtyard, she noticed two girls. One of them looked familiar, probably from her Astronomy class. "Hello." She said to both of the girls. Hopefully she wasn't interrupting an important conversation or something.

Morgan listened as Kestrel spoke about being found and suspecting her finders knew something about her. She rested her chin on her knees, thinking if she had read anything about digging into the past when you have nothing to go on except a name. "Well, there is only one thing I can think of, and that's to just look into what family might belong to your last name," she offered. She raised her grey-blue eyes to look brightly at her. "If they are hiding something from you, could it be to protect you? Maybe they will tell you when you are old..." Morgan said.

Suddenly, she heard a new voice from behind them. When she looked, she recognized the Gryffindor from several of her classes, but couldn't remember ever introducing herself to her. "Hi!" she replied. "I know we've had lots of classes together, but I don't think we've ever been introduced. I'm Morgan, Morgan Prince. And, this is Kestrel Olander from Araneae house at WolfClaw," she said introducing herself and her new friend.

She nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea. There may be something back home that I can check." Kestrel rested her elbows on her knees and her head between the palms of her hands. "Yes, you may be right." She furrowed her brow. "Though that just makes me wonder what could prompt such secrecy." Another joined them and Kestrel looked up at the greeting. "Hello," she said with a small smile towards the Gryffindor.
