[Taylor McLaughlin]

Taylor sat in the grass looking at the Whomping Willow tree after a long day of school with some dirty looks and wall in the halls and a little run in with Sirius she had let it slip that she really liked him. She was stupid for doing that and she couldn't remember what he did, it seemed like a huge blur to her now. She brought parts of it back to her mind as she could hear herself speak. She could see it as if she was reliving it as she sat in the warm grass. The sun beating down on her blonde hair and she hoped that Delilah wouldn't freak that she liked Sirius. Taylor shut her eyes and saw something like a scene from a play or something.

"I need a minute just to get to you" She said with her eyes a little watery as she was letting her true feelings come out to the guy she had crushed on for about four years." I feel like I might be getting through." She told him as she looked into his eyes and held her breath as she couldn't stop now that she was going as she stood there and slid down the wall and sat."Come over and say nothing." She told him with her eyes full with hope as she knew that she could be hurt so much from this and she would have to put it in her journal." Silence is everything." She said with a broken voice now over powering her.


Taylor opened her eyes and could hear her name being called from somewhere but no person to produce the sound was around. Was it James under that cloak thing of his? No it was a girls voice call for her Taylor sat still thinking trying to place the voice she knew this person cause it gave her a warm feeling inside and made Sirius seem far away from her mind at the moment as she looked at her bag and pulled out a mirror and fixed her hair and her lip gloss. She opened her bag and saw her journal and knew she would write soon. She waited for the person to show up so she could figure it out.

[Delilah Simon]

Since the day in the library with Remus, everything had been a bit of a blur to Delilah. She was spaced out during class, and found herself just stopping in the middle of writing an essay or reading and staring at the paper, her thoughts drifting to him. This was quite unusual, because Dell usually put her schoolwork first and foremost in her mind. Yes, of course, she made time for her friends and other things, but she'd never before let her personal life interfere with her concentration. Quite frankly, it was scaring her. Not to mention that the full moon was drawing nearer... Giving a sigh, she decided she needed a walk.

Steeping out into the bright sunlight, she found herself rapidly approaching the Whomping Willow. Why? This was honestly the last place she wanted to be. It reminded her of the horrible pain Remus had to endure here. Shaking her head a bit, she was surprised to see a glint of golden blonde up ahead. She smiled. "Taylor?" she called, picking up her pace a bit, her own golden blonde hair bouncing along behind her. She'd shed her black cloak earlier, and was now clad in her black Mary Jane shoes, a white button-up shirt, her silver and blue Ravenclaw tie, and of course, her plaid skirt.

Coming closer to her friend, she allowed her smile to widen and her free hand, the one not carrying her small canvas bag with homework assignments inside, lifted up to wave. "Hey, Taylor."

[Taylor McLaughlin]

Taylor saw it was Delilah the one she hoped would have heard about Sirius. She looked at her outfit it was still a little Hogwarts. Taylor looked down thinking she was still in her black robes but instead it was nothing close to school related. She was in Tie-front tube Bra Top that was pink and white with miniskirt on. She looked at her feet and the white Sequin thong sandals next to her bag. Taylor had forgotten that she had gone to her room and changed she had her long hair in a high ponytail but still it went down to her back. She had her Sculpted pendant necklace on to give herself a flashier look. She looked at her large bag and went into it as she looked for something. She looked back in time to see the wave dell gave her. She waved back at her with a bright smile with her hair on her shoulder. She pushed it off and looked at her friend and was happy to see her.

" Hey there Delilah! " She said with delighted sound in her voice. Taylor had just wanted to see her. She brushed herself off a little before Dell got to her she picked a purple daisy out of the ground and started to twirl it in her fingers. She tried to make herself a little composed so Taylor could see her so confused and broken. She was tried and wanted someone to sing her to sleep. She had many ways to say sad but only one for love. She was slowly coming out of her daze that she was in.

She became more aware that she was so close to the tree and backed up and looked at it with a small smile on her face. She wanted to talk to her mother but than she would have to tell them who she wanted to live with for the summer and she didn’t want to tell them that it was not them. She could write a letter to Aly and tell her what she was going through and what she was going to do. She went into another daze and went into deep thought as she sat on the ground with her friend coming over to her.

[Delilah Simon]

" Hey there Delilah! "

Delilah gave a bright smile, and dropped her bag ont he ground in front of her friend. Plopping down beside it, she leaned forward and hugged Taylor briefly, before releasing her, her eyes dancing and her smile wider than ever. "Oh, I'm so glad I found you!" she breathed. "I've been wanting to talk to you!" Dell, of course, was wanting to tell Taylor about her and Remus. It was like a breath of fresh air for Dell, and she couldn't be happier. Of course he was so much sweeter and meant so much more to her than Micheal ever had. But she was still a bit shy about it, and therefore decided to not mention it yet.

Pushing a strand of blonde hair out of her face, Delilah sat back on her heels, her smile fading a bit. She regarded her friend curiously. "Taylor, what's the matter?" she questioned with a light frown. "You seem kinda down in the dumps."
