Once he had the books that he wanted he made his way down to the grounds. Alec had always enjoyed the landscape of Hogwarts. It was an extremely peaceful place. He couldn't decide where he was going to read today. Would it be the lake, or the courtyard? He finally decided to visit the whomping willow, which he hadn't been to very often.
As he got closer he saw a familier blaze of bright red hair. He recognized the girl quickly as the one that he had met in Diagon Alley, Penny. She too was reading. As he got closer she jumped up and ran over to someone else that was screaming. He followed behind her. "Woah is everything okay?" He asked not really knowing who he was talking to. Well this was sure a dramatic way for a second meeting.

"We should back away slowly....." Ronnie said taking a step backward away from the tree.
Penny was utterly confused as the girl finally reached her. Her blue eyes went from the girl to the tree in question. And then realization hit and she started giggling.
"I wasn' leanin' agains' the Whomping Willow," She pointed her finger at another willow that was close by.
"I was leanin' agains' that willow." Stopping down she picked up her fallen book and smiled at her new frantic friend.
"Thanks for the concern though. I'm Penny." She may be new and American, from the South even, but she wasn't dense. She knew to keep her distance from that particular tree.
After all of the excitement it took a moment for the red head to see who else had come upon the scene. Her
cute guy friend from Diagon Alley.
"Hey Alec. Didn't think I'd seeya for a while since the castle was so big." Okay so it was a bit of a lame joke but she was new here.
