It couldn't be Zara her best friend, because apparently Zara had left the school or at least thats what Ness had heard. Either way it just couldn't be Zara. Nessie really did miss her best friend and she would have done almost anything to see her.
Wait why was shouting her name? Ness turned only to see the Zara looking girl shouting out her name. It just had to be Zara because who else would shout Nessie's name so loud. "Zara? Is it you?" she had to ask to be certain, she didn't feel like embaressing herself by shouting to a complete stranger. As the girl gave her a hug, Ness knew for sure it was her best friend. "OMG ZARAAAAAA! it is you." she gave her best friend a tight hug back never wanting to let go, she had gone through too much without her best friend and she wouldn't let her bestie ever leave again.
It was as though all her problems were gone, as though none of them ever had happened. Having her best friend back was the best thing that would ever happen. There were many unanswered things that she wanted to talk to Zara about, but they'd catch up later now she was just too happy to worry about catching up.As Ness pulled back from the hug she noticed a familiar looking first year watching them. She gave the firstbie a grin, being the Hufflepuff she was she beckoned for the firstbie to join them, she knew Zara wouldn't mind.

For the first time, a light shone through her life after that incident that turned her world upside down. And here she was now, happy. Happy, after half a year's worth of tears and grieving. Happy, in the company of the only person who stayed for her despite her sudden disappearance. Not exactly disappearance since she was still there, just unnoticed, her head down low and no one could possibly notice it was her. Not unless they forcefully raise her head up since no one could ever get a decent conversation with the Zara lurking around for the months that have passed.
'Nessie. It's Nessie.' Zara continued to repeat to herself in her mind as she was lost in the moment. Hugging someone after what seemed like an eternity. It was pure bliss in her tiny heart that had been recently been filled with emptiness. Then Nessie suddenly pulled back. Zara didn't want to let go, but it would probably be awkward to stay like that forever. She let out a smile and looked at who Nessie was grinning at.
Oh. It the stranger who Zara noticed to be staring at them for quite a while. She let out a smile to the little badger, who was probably a first year. Zara had wanted to do something more to make the firstie more comfortable or at least make her feel welcome but she knew no more since she was still in the process of recovering from the downfall. Maybe later, she'd be able to adjust. Or at least say hi.
'Zara, say hi. Be polite. It's a start.' She thought to herself, as her brain slowly processed what she was thinking. And finally, after a few seconds delay, Zara managed to let out an almost inaudible, "Hi."
They did know each other and they seemed to be closer than just normal friends. Like they've known each other forever. In that instant, Erin felt the need not to stay away from them. If she wanted to have company, she needed to pluck up the courage and embraced the presence of the other girl.
After the two's over dramatic hug or at least, she just thought, Nessie gestured Erin to come join them. Have they not seen each other in Hogwarts perimeter? That was weird. Their reactions were just laughable. But she needed to suppress her laugh now. Maybe, they did have not seen each other for a while now. She couldn't say, especially when you're in different houses. Good thing, lots of her closest friends were in Ravenclaw. Making her way towards them, she let her head bow down looking at the floor. Was she doing the right thing? She knew that she couldn't interfere with their closeness of these two. That would make her an outcast later in the conversation. Either way, she needed to answer their offered goodness by merely playing the best that she could to be nice to them.
"Hello Nessie," she smiled and then turning to the other girl who gave her a slight smile. After a few seconds, for what seemed like she wouldn't talk anymore, the girl said hi. That was unexpected. Did she thought of the greeting, that long?
"Hi. I'm Erin," she responded hastily.
