Originally Posted by MUSTANG SALLY A slight wind began pulling lightly at his scarf, so he wrapped his right hand around the end to prevent it from flying off. His other hand was drawing absentmindedly in the snow. He let the whispers of other students float around him; not focusing on any one student. People were walking all around the courtyard, so he didn't think anything of it when another set of footsteps came toward him. However when they stopped near him he tuned back into the real world and looked up to see a young woman standing above him.
And a young woman she was. Danny could not believe that Katie was going to be graduating in a few months. It was not going to be the same without her, Legend, Jae and Mat. It was only going to be him and Lando! It blew his mind how Lando shot up in height. Lando and him were always the short ones of the group, but Lando finally got his growth spurt and towered over him now. Even Katie was taller than him. But that was nothing new. Katie and the rest of them have always been taller than him.
His mind was wondering again. He barely registered Katie sliding down the wall to sit down next to him. Her low voice brought him back to reality again. He was no longer the jumpy little boy he used to be. It helped that his friends (Katie and Jae more so than Legend and Mat) used lower voiced when talking to him.
Danny gave his cousin a smile and laid his head on her shoulder. It always soothed him to lay his head on someone else's shoulder. He only laid his head on people he was really close with and he often did it more to his family members than any one else. Her curly hair tickled his nose and he let out a soft chuckle before moving a piece of her hair behind her ear. "You are graduating soon." he said barely higher than a whisper. Luckily his mouth was close to her ear, so he was sure he had heard her. "I'm going to miss you, Katie." Her smile grew a little bit when Danny returned the smile, the slight movement beside her as he laid his head on her shoulder was such a natural one to her, she hardly would have noticed had her gaze not been on him. It was easier to look at her cousin and think about him, than think about how soon the future was coming. Taking the arm closest to her, Katie wrapped her own around his. A rather amused look crossing her face briefly when he moved a lock of her unruly curls, such a usual and gentle motion from the young man beside her.
Danny Edwards, although still rather small in size, was indeed a young man. Just a man, Legend would argue. And it was amazing to think that, he was right. They weren't little kids anymore, where they? None of them. Unfortunately, not one of them had escaped the aging process of becoming a teenager, and now.. adults? They were adults. Even Orlando and Danny were of age.
No matter how much she tried not to think about it, she was thinking about it. Playing with Danny's hand in her own ungloved hand, her dark eyes blinked in slight surprise when he spoke. Not because he was talking, but rather because of what he said. As unexpected as being told she was graduating soon seemed, it was being told outloud that she was going to be missed, that caught her offguard. Katie had froze for a second, the beginning of term feast and Lando trying to say goodbye to her already threatening to replay in her mind. "I am," Finally, the girl- young woman, agreed in the same soft tone. She was graduating soon, yes. "You're going to miss me? Why would you do that? How would you do that? You won't get rid of me that easily, you know." Katie gave his hand a slight, assuring squeeze. Leaning her head gently against his for a moment as she thought, staring blankly ahead. "There's still christmas at Grandma Angelina and Grandpa Carl's, and.. I'll just have to talk to my people and arrange it so I can come to Hogsmeade weekends!" Her tone cheered up a little bit toward the end, a her fading smile returning. Her people. That sounded so much like the Katie from ten years ago, claiming herself to be a future queen! "I can't just leave you and Lando here without checking up on you guys, now can I?"
