Default Wooden Covered Bridge


Image credited to Govoni
This long and narrow bridge looks like it could fall apart at any moment, but looks can be deceiving. The Wooden Covered Bridge has held it's own for many years. It connects from the Courtyard and goes across the ravine to the rest of the Grounds, closest to Mr.Kirby's hut. At the exit of the bridge headed towards the grounds, Kirby has built a small Gazebo. Just in case you needed one more place to lounge around. Inside the Gazebo hanging on a beam is a Wooden Box that looks like a birdhouse. Only it's not. The glass doors reveal piles of books sitting within.

Also inside is a small note stuck to the back.

After careful consideration and a few soggy books The Groundskeeper, and Librarian decided it was best to keep the books away from the Lake. Now you can use the Gazebo as one more place to read.

Connor decided to wander around the grounds during his first free period. This was an odd place, pretty but odd. He wondered if he would run into Kohen again, The friend he had made on the train. He was the only person he knew so far. Maybe he'd meet some of his housemates.. 'Gryffindors' He had always heard they were brave, now he was one of them and he was fairly certain that he was not brave. Maybe that weird hat made a mistake. The 15-year-old looked out at the view from the bridge, this place was very different from Salem, a bit nicer in some ways and in others 'Just plain odd.' was the thing coming to Connor's mind. Hmm. In any case he just wanted to feel like he would fit in here.

Legs were threaded through the bridge's railings as Charlie sat down at the edge. She liked the view up here: beautiful enough that she'd attempted to sketch it a few times. For some reason, though, she could never quite capture it properly. She sighed inwardly as her thoughts turned to her failed pictures, and decided that she would perfect it before she left the school.

But not today. Her sketchbook lay open on her lap, but the pencil was in Charlies mouth rather than her hands, and the only think she'd managed to draw was the Eiffel Tower. She was lost in thoughts of Paris and summer when she heard footsteps behind her, and her eyes flicked up to offer a smile to the rather lost looking person. But she wasn't planning on standing.

After looking out at everything beyond the bridge before he noticed that he was being smiled at. Oh! A friendly face, even if it was one he didn't know. He was a little nervous though, he hadn't met anyone here and the one person he had was a younger boy, not a girl..who seemed to be around his age.

He seemed a little nervous..so he tried to his best to be brave, he was a Gryffindor now, even if he didn't feel like one. "Umm..Hi, I'm Connor.." He stayed standing though, it would be rude to just assume that she was going to invite him to sit. "I'm kinda new here, What's your name?" He asked, This was weird...Introducing himself like this.. hmm. Weird.

"Charlie." Pushing a strand of hair out of her eyes as she replied to the introduction, she turned her gaze back to the view, and mused over the thought of Cat, and Coul, and 'Cutie-pie', and being one of Elodie's 'C's. God, she wasn't half going to miss her friends at the end of this year. But what had Tristan said?

'You're wonderful.'

She blushed some at the though and his questions on new friends, and where better to start? "I was new two years ago. I know how it feels." You know, sticking out like a sore thumb with all of the lost eleven year olds. "You want to sit?" At that she turned back to him, and closed her sketchbook over.

Connor nodded. "Nice to meet you, Charlie..What year are you?" He asked and felt the wind in his hair..it was nice, but it was chilly and the air was a bit moist, but this wasn't Salem. He had to keep reminding himself. What would he talk about? She had a sketch book too bad he didn't know anything about art..or much of anything, he didn't find himself to be particularly interesting or special.

"Ohh, sure.." He said and took a seat next to her, letting his legs dangle. "Yeah, i feel like the first years are the only ones who know what this feels like at this point. But i don't wanna hang around all of them, you know?" He laughed a little at his own joke, still nervous...he didn't know many girls, even back home. What a lovely time to move to a new country and not have any experience talking to females...NOT.

It was probably a good thing that she'd chosen to wear trousers today, Charlie mused as she let her legs swing below the bridge and watched the boy Connor sit himself down next to her. "Sixth," she replied with a small frown. "You?" He looked around her age, but that could still mean he was leaving next year, and that made her think that the whole trying-to-make-friends with him thing was pointless. But she didn't know that yet, and he seemed nice enough so she wasn't going to be rude or shirty with him.

Unless he said something horrible, but until then... "I felt the same," Charlie managed with a laugh at the joke. "Trust me, you won't be the only older one. I still feel new, in all honesty." And this was to be her third year at the school so... Well, she felt that that made her the strange one in this conversation. "Where did you transfer from?"

It was so good to be back at Hogwarts again!

Excitedly, Lux skipped along the wood coloured bridge. Her dress was flowing around her, and she was wearing her favourite pair of ballet flats. One of the hats Willa had bought her was pitched upon her head.

It was an amazing day outside, and she was so happy to be alive.

Connor wrapped his arms around the supports for the railing, she was older too...again he tried to contain his nerves yet again. But he was doing okay so far and she seemed like a nice girl. She wasn't mean or anything. "Ohh, I'm a fifth year.." He said looking out and then back at her. "So maybe you could show me the ropes?" He smiled, he wasn't being flirty cause Merlin knew he didn't know what being flirty was, he just wanted friends. He wanted his life here to make sense.

"Well, i'm glad it's not just me..This place is kinda weird to be honest. But not in a bad way, it's just really different." He was glad his joke was laughed at. He wasn't always good at jokes, sometimes he felt he had a weird sense of humor. "I'm sure it's hard not to feel new with everyone else knowing each other since first year." He supposed that's why this was strange, everyone had their groups already and they just seemed to be on the outside looking in. "I transferred from Salem. I'm an American.."

Abby was amazed that there was a bridge at Hogwarts and saw the girl who had helped her at Kings Cross and said "Hey there i don't know if you remember me i am the girl who you helped at Kings Cross"

Fifth. Right. So that meant he wasn't leaving at the end of term, too? Charlie smiled at the thought, another name to add to her list of people who she'd return to this time next year. So far she had Jun, who was the only one in her house. Vinnie, who'd become like a sister to her over the summer. And Lux, and Lex, and Delilah. The friends thing was going well. She'd write to Tristan later.

"That I can try to do," she replied with a small smile of her own. It didn't even cross Charlie's mind that the boy might be flirting - she wasn't exactly the best at reading signals, and was especially ignoring her own after Stan. And now she had Tristy, too, so she just didn't even think anyone else would behave in such a way with her. "Not in a bad way? It's not even October and we've already had death threats directed at people here." She laughed a little, avoiding the use of the word 'us', but her mind wandered to her boyfriend and she was, for a moment, almost glad he hadn't made a team yet. Not if these death threats were being taken this seriously.

There were nods at the notion of other people knowing each other since first year, and Charlie knew she'd already deemed herself forever a bit of an outsider. But even so. "Everyone is really nice though. Or, at least, the majority of people." She could only count the number of outright rude people she knew on one finger, so that was most people, right? "What's it like over there?" In America. Was it amazing?

Connor made a face. "Wait like real ones? I talked to some crazy third year on the train and he said this place was dangerous but i thought he was just a crazy kid. I didn't think he was serious.." Did his mother send him to some kind of crazy school? He was a bit worried now but it seemed like a nice place, and nothing seemed scary so far, maybe he was just worrying too much again? He didn't understand what that hat saw in his head that made him put Connor in Gryffindor, but he was sure it was a mistake.

Well now that he was again terrified and sure he would hae to write his mother a letter he looked back out and then down, he wasn't afraid of one thing for sure and that was hights, he didn't mind them. "Different..it's hard to explain how, i guess it's bigger and more spread out, less green and cold for the most part. It's like being on a different planet, being here." He felt a little adventurous, a part of him liked it, but he was sure this was as much adventure that he could handle. "Where are you from? Like when you transferred?"

There were more nods now, and Charlie frowned a little as Connor pulled a face. "I... Crap, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sure it's just a prank but... well. It was in the Prophet. And that's why there's loads of security around this year..." Had he not listened to the feast? It was a stupid question, but she didn't listen all of the time. "He may have been a crazy kid but... It's not dangerous, persay, but weird things happen. A lot." She actually found that she couldn't lie to the boy, but she wouldn't tell him about what happened just before she started.

Merlin, she'd been terrified of even coming here after hearing about the Groundskeeper dying.

"Less cold. I've heard that before." Charlie laughed a little, and almost on cue, shivered. "I hate British weather." It was just so wet all of the time. Yuck. "How come you've moved here?" Because she'd have personally rather had stayed in America. She'd never visited, but it just seemed to exciting, and from what Tam had said about New York? Wow. "I was homeschooled. Spent half the time here -" and by 'here' she meant in Britain. "- and the other half in Poland."" Which explained her lack of any kind of accent, really.

Connor did his best to not seem scared...he shook his head a little. "I guess i kinda zoned out at the feast.." He figured that was kind bad right? But he was hungry and there was LOTS of food, so he figured anyone would have trouble not zoning out, really. "And maybe it is nothing, but it can't hurt to be a bit careful, i suppose..I don't know how i ended up in Gryffindor." It felt good to say this to someone out loud. He wasn't a mess or a big baby, he just wasn't courageous and he knew it.

Yeah...i'm from the southern part of America too, so this is freezing for me." Honestly it was, he couldn't imagine what winter would be like if this was September and he was already chilly. "Well, my Dad passed about a year ago, And my Mom is from England so we moved here, she ended up getting a job and decided this was a better school anyway, she went here." He didn't always like telling this story, not because he was upset about his Dad because while he was it had also been a year and he had grown more at peace with his father's passing. He more disliked the pity he received when people knew about it. "That's interesting, What's Poland like?"

Lost in thought, Lux almost skipped right into the girl who was talking to her. It was a good thing that she had managed to stop, because a collision wouldn't be very nice.

"Oh, hey! Abby, right?" She could remember helping Abby out, and knew that she was one of Angel's sisters.

"And maybe it is nothing, but it can't hurt to be a bit careful, i suppose..I don't know how i ended up in Gryffindor." It felt good to say this to someone out loud. He wasn't a mess or a big baby, he just wasn't courageous and he knew it.

Yeah...i'm from the southern part of America too, so this is freezing for me." Honestly it was, he couldn't imagine what winter would be like if this was September and he was already chilly. "Well, my Dad passed about a year ago, And my Mom is from England so we moved here, she ended up getting a job and decided this was a better school anyway, she went here." He didn't always like telling this story, not because he was upset about his Dad because while he was it had also been a year and he had grown more at peace with his father's passing. He more disliked the pity he received when people knew about it. "That's interesting, What's Poland like?"
"Don't worry about that. We all do it at some point." You know, after a long train journey and at that time, most people just wanted food and, in Charlie's case especially, their beds. "Someone's always listened, so the stuff gets around." And apparently this year that someone was her. "No. I suppose because there's a threat to life people have to take it somewhat seriously." Because there was always that slim, slim chance. Which she didn't want to talk about. The poor Quidditch players: no wonder they'd all seemed to moody at the feast. She was going to miss watching the matches, which obviously paled in comparison. "Gryffindor? Why do you doubt it?"

Even though she'd doubted Ravenclaw as soon as the hat was off her head. "Wow. I can imagine. I'd love to go there, one day." You know, after she graduated and managed to get some money together. If that ever happened. "Oh.... I'm... I'm sorry," she managed softly, raising her eyes to the younger boy. "What does she do?" Because, he probably didn't want to talk about his fathers dying. It wasn't usually the thing you discussed with someone you met ten minutes ago.

He thought it was interesting? Maybe Connor was the crazy kid here. "Poland can get really cold. In the winter it's beautiful, though. The snow's perfect." And maybe she was getting a little nostalgic, now. Gosh, she didn't half miss her mama.

First week of the school year. And she was already on her sixth letter. The first had been a good 27 pages long of everything she was thinking and drawings and doodles and just everything. The others got shorter and shorter and just contained little things she had done that day or was thinking of. Today she was going to go sit on the bridge and put her proper efforts into a real letter about the things she'd already done in the common room. Like the first year she'd found asleep on her card craft.

And like little Leah almost crying because she missed Professor Hadley. Not that it would be of any importance to those she wrote to. But it was easier than acknowledging the lack of her person being around. If she told him everything.

She just had to find somewhere to sit. Not too close to other people and not too far incase something happened and she almost died.

Awww, how cute. This girl was so adorable. "No need to thank me. I'm always here to help." Lux loved helping people, especially when they were new to Hogwarts and didn't know their way around. She could still remember last term when she was new and everything seemed so big and confusing. The only reason why she didn't get constantly lost last term was because she had done constant exploring of the castle and grounds. "So are you liking Hogwarts so far? You are in Ravenclaw, right?" She assumed as much from watching the Sorting Ceremony, and as far as she could remember, the other sisters were in Gryffindor.

Explooooring.

But no Hallie? No. No Hallie. Hallie had told Coral-Bay that she had been sorted into the wrong house. And that, well it upset her even if she didn't overly care about which house she had. Instead of firing back though, Coral-Bay had kept her mouth shut and just nodded along to Hallie going on about her night and left a little earlier than she had initially planned, blaming her stomach for acting up. Which it hadn't been.

So she did a little twirl as she roamed down the really reaaaaaally long bridge, dancing to the music in her head. And almost rammed straight into a girl.

Startled, the girl went wide eyed at the prefect, barely noticing the badge and color of it, holding back a shriek.

Where she was currently standing...she was too close to other people, and turned on her heel to start walking at least ten steps away. Elodie was JUST about to take the first step when she realised she'd turned straight into the path of a wiggling child. A wiggling child was in her WAY. She inhaled. And she exhaled. And she kept a clean and firm grip on the stack of parchment and things in her hands.

If she'd have taken that step, one of them probably would have gone over the side of this bridge and it wouldn't have been pretty. Probably would have been the rugrat, who she'd noticed wasn't in her house and therefore was slowly getting the nickname 'brat', because she was smaller and the wiggler and at fault.

"Excuse you." Yeah, kid.

Hogwarts authority was scarier than she thought.

Not so much scary but maybe.. Were all prefects so... pleasant? She wasn't ever mean to people unless they were mean to her first. And she was kinda.... well maybe she was having a bad day? HM.

"I'm really, reaaaally sorry." she said to the pretty prefect. Hogwarts people were very pretty so far. Boys and girls alike. That was one of the positive things. "I should have been paying attention," she reached for the girls arm "it's completely my fault."

Coral's eyes then caught sight of the stack the girl seemed to be holding and thought about what a complete disaster it could have been if she'd knocked the papers out of her arms. "Do you want help or something?" she gestured at the papers. "Your arms look kind of full and when it comes to paper, i'm a lot more careful." GRIN. Be nice to me pretty prefeeeeeeeeect I'm nice to youuuuuuuuuuu.

She was sorry. Yes she should have been paying attention. And it was most definitely completely her fault. All the things she was saying were right. And yet... Elodie hadn't even snapped at her properly or called her a name or scowled or glared or contemplated punching her. All good things for the Hufflepuff, most definitely. "Mmm. Paying attention on high bridges where lots of students could be about might help you out one day." Might even save her life.

Careful with paper?

Elodie gave the younger girl a look and shrugged. "I'm only finding a spot to sit and finish my letter. Can I trust you to not let them fly away? It's an important letter." Important enough to involve big smiley faces and also crying faces and some ink smudged with the tears from last nights crying fest under the bed. Maybe it was best not to trust the girl with her pages. Maybe just giving her the crayons to carry would be much better. Maybe maybe maybe.

He nodded, Connor was happy to hear it wasn't bad or out of the ordinary to lose focus in a feast like that. But it was already such a Long day, how was he supposed to listen when he was tired and hungry? How was anyone? "Well, if you think the threat isn't anything to get too worried about, maybe you're right...you've been here before and i haven't." He had doubted Gryffindor for many reasons. "I don't feel like i'm any of the things great Gryffindors are supposed to be, Then again i don't really want to be great. I just want to be happy, But i'm not strong or brave or courageous." He actually felt he got scared rather easily.

"America is great, well..some of it, i haven't been to all of it. It's huge really..There are states bigger than England." he told her and then nodded, he was happy the focus of the conversation wasn't on his Father. "My Mom works at a bank..she's not a muggle but my Dad was so we lived in the muggle world for a while.. So, yeah..It's a really boring job." He didn't know if she knew anything about the muggle world, but he was a half-blood. "We never really had snow in Louisiana..i only saw it once or twice..I don't know.." Snow sounded fun..but he wasn't a big fan of any kind of cold really..even this seemed like a lot, he was dreading the winter.
