Gryffindor Study Tables
 

Chris sat down in his seat and began his History of Magic homework. He was sitting for an hour before he was done. His homework is done so he went to his dorm to go take a nap.

Nika had just finished reading the announcement board in the common room. She was not very happy with what she saw. Not only was there the usual homework, but there was also one very unusual assignment posted as well. From her new DADA "Professor". She hadn't ever met the guy, but he sure sounded mean. They had to do physical exercise!?! REALLY?!?!

Sigh.

She looked at her list of things to do and let out a groan as she read each one out loud. "Number one: Run 8 km?!? WHAT? Why??" Groan. She moved to the next one on the list and her jaw just about dropped. "100 minutes of meditating about a proper role model!? But that will take forever!" Groan. "50 Front rolls?! I'm never going to get through this year! And it's only my second one!" Groan. She rolled her eyes as she went down the list and finished at "Singing! YAY! That's the only one I'm going to enjoy." She sings normally anyways so it doesn't make much of a difference for her.

She knew that it would take a while to do, especially since they had to keep a journal. Great. Just great.

She sighed as she read the one about meditation. "I guess I could do that now?" A hundred minutes is just so long! What if she splits it up into groups of twenty? Is she allowed to do that?


She thought about who she considered as a role model. She thought about this for a very long time before concluding with the answer. "Rex."
She said once out loud to confirm it. "Yeah I think Rex." And so the meditation begins.

Wait.

"How do I meditate?" She thought about those TV shows she'd seen where monks sat with their legs crossed over each other and made weird noises. Okay worth a shot. Nika imitated the monks she had seen on TV as she hummed "Oooooommmm" over and over again.

She thought about Rex and how he did so many things. 'Not only did he graduate Hogwarts last term with great marks, but most of the professors liked him. He was nice to everyone including some of the mean snake girls who made fun of him. He took his time to teach me how to dance and he was really patient with me.' The more she thought about him the more saddened she grew over the fact that he wasn't at Hogwarts anymore, but she still kept going even if it was with tears in her eyes. "OOOooommmm."

After what seemed like a good amount of time she checked her watch. It had only been 50 minutes. Which meant 50 more minutes to go. "Ugh. This. Is. Going. To. Take. Forever." With a sigh she continued. "OOOOOOoooommm." Meditation is harder than it seems. Especially for a twelve year old with the attention span of a squirrel. "Oooommm."

She checked her watch once more and after what seemed like forever the 50 minutes were up. "YES!" But then she remembered she had to record this stuff in the journal.

Hmph. What a JOY.

And with that she began writing.

Nika is back. Yes back to mediate.

Well the meditating is boring, but making the funny noises is fun! YES very fun! And Nika loves fun! Who doesn't love fun?

She hopped up on a chair and climbed up onto the table. Crossing her legs she began to mediate. Now this time she needed a different role model to meditate on. Hmmm... Who inspired her growing up? Well.... OH! There is this one show she used to watch on TV all of the time! Even though it's an extremely old television show from when her great great great great great (and many more greats) grandma was a little kid it was still a good show.

Her parents always showed her the tapes growing up. They would find it online and show her using the computer too. It was about this bald little boy who had puppets for friends or something like that. His cat would talk too. They went on adventures and did some cool things.

Nika loved the show and the bald little kid. Caillou. THat was his name. Caillou. The bald little boy who could make the most boring day fun with his imagination. That's why she thought of him as a role model. Because he was always there to make rainy days fun.

"OOOOOOOooooooommmmm" And that's why she was meditating about him.

Chris sat down at a study table and got our his herbology book and began to do his homework. Chris got his quill and paper and then began to write about the three categories of water plants. "Hmmmm. Oh! Floating plants is one!!!!!" Chris said.
After about 20 minutes of writing, he was done. He got up and walked up to the dorms.

Nika walked to the study tables with some of her homework in hand. She needed to focus and where else would she do it other than the study tables!? They were meant for studying anyways! She walked with her books in hand and sat down. She looked up from her spot and saw a familiar face. "Hiya Ariella! Are you doing homework too?"

"Oh, hey Nika!" replied Ariella. She was glad someone else was here to talk to. "Yeah! I'm working on my Herbology."

Nika smiled when Ariella said she was doing the herbology homework. "What a coincidence! Me too!!" She held up her parchment, well her blank parchment.

And that's all she had. It was harder than it looks. "I can't find the answer to the first question anywhere in the book!" She explained with a sigh. She had looked through it and nothing. Ugh. Why did they have to do homework. Couldn't it just be optional or something?

Ariella smiled. "I was thinking that exact same thing. It doesn't say anywhere what the three categories are!" She flipped through her book again, but no luck in finding the answers. "I wish we got to do more creative things for homework. Not just writing essays."

Nika nodded her head and let out an exasperated sigh. "Oh I know!" She liked the homework where you were able to do things from your imagination or make things up not write essays and answer questions. "Lafay gives us homework like this all of the time. Once she gave us a crossword puzzle though. We had to find potion words! It was the funnest thing I've ever had to do for her class." Fun doesn't exist where there's a Lafay.

"Jeez....she sounds like a fun time!" Ariella laughed. Looked like she needed to get used to boring essay homework from Professor Lafay. "Do you think we missed her say something in class about the three categories of water plants?" No, that can't be it. Ariella swore she was listening the whole time. It had to be in the textbook somewhere, but she couldn't seem to find it.

Nika nodded. "Yeah... the funnest time." Okay so maybe funnest isn't even a word, but Nika will make it a word! Besides it was probably her best use of sarcasm to date so it's an accomplishment. Nika shrugged at hearing Ariella's next statement. "Maybe. I suppose we could've." She didn't even feel like doing the homework anymore. So much for that. "So do you like herbology?"

Ariella shoved her book to the side. Oh well. "Well, it's alright, I guess. I'm not really the best at it," said Ariella. She remembered the one time when she had to tend her mother's garden of magical plants and ended up getting bitten by this flower-dragon thing. "It is pretty interesting, though, to learn about the plants and flowers. What about you?"

Nika held out her hand and tilted it back and forth in order to say "so-so". "It's alright I guess..." She said with a smile. "It's a lot better now that Vindictus isn't teaching it though! He's best at just a flying teacher." No need to work with plants because he was pretty bad at it. "I don't find it the most interesting class though. I was never really into gardening." She admitted.

"Vindictus used to teach herbology?" Whoa. "Yeah, I was never really into gardening, either. I prefer more...well...safe activities, like writing and reading." Ariella laughed.

Short xD I'm lazy right now...
 

Nika chuckled at Ariella's comment. "I'm not really a big fan of reading." She admitted with a sheepish smile. "But I do like writing! Well, writing songs that is.."

"Oh my gosh! I love writing songs! That's what I do every day!" Ariella smiled. Someone who enjoyed the same things as her = smile! She hadn't met ANYONE before who liked to write songs.

Sorry for being so late!
 

Nika beamed at Ariella. It was nice finding someone with the same interests as her. "We should show each other our songs sometimes!" Then her smile faded when she remembered what she did the other day in the dormitories. "Only... I ripped mine up." She said in an almost whisper. It was a few hours after Emily had broke the bad news to Nika. She felt alone, lost, confused, and hopeless. So she went and ripped up her songs because they were too happy.

Ronnie walked to an empty study table, where no one could see what she was doing. She was still crying, but softly this time. She didn't want anyone to notice her, she didn't want to bother anyone else's work. She took out a piece of parchment and quill, and wrote a letter to her brother, Rupert Weasley.
Dear Rupert,
I feel very alone right now, no one seems to notice me at school ever since I heard the news about dad. I feel very lonely, the only company I ever seem to get is Scabbers...and a few fellow Gryffindors have talked to me. When I heard the news about dad, I was terribly sad and don't know exactly what to do. I just need someone to talk to and I thought of you. Please right back.
Love,
Ronnie Weasley
Ronnie folded the letter and went to find her brother Ben to use his owl (Poppy) to send the letter, since she didn't own one.

Nika saw someone that she didn't know not too far away. She waved at her, but the girl didn't seem to notice because she was too busy crying... wait? Crying? Well that's not something you see everyday. Nika didn't like crying in front of others so she went to the second floor corridor to cry last week when Emily told her the news, but maybe she went there just because she didn't know where she was headed. She didn't really think she just... ran. "Hiya!" She waved at the girl, but the gryffindor had walked away. Maybe she heard Nika...

Right before Ronnie left, she heard a voice saying "Hiya!" She turned to look for the person who said it. Then she noticed a girl. She tried her best to force a smile, and waved back. "Hi!" she said.

Nika wanted to know why this girl was possibly so sad, but she knew better than to ask. If the girl wanted to speak about it she would. Besides why would she tell a complete stranger why she was so upset. Nika knew how it felt like to be in that position. She had been the same way after the Emily thing. It hurt to tell others so Nika didn't push it. "Sorry I didn't mean to stop you." The girl had been leaving to go somewhere yes?

Ronnie had some time on her hands to talk to this girl, it's not like she had to rush to send Rupert her letter. Ronnie walked towards the girl and said, "It's no problem at all, it's perfectly fine." she said smiling, trying to forget the reason she was sad. "I'm Ronnie, by the way. Ronnie Weasley." she said, sticking out her hand. Hopefully, this girl could help her feel better with her family problems right now. Maybe this was the one she was waiting for, someone to comfort her and tell her everything is alright.

Nika smiled when the girl said she was alright with staying and chatting. The funny thing about the study tables was that although their purpose for being here in the first place Nika always went there to study, but things always turn into a conversation with some other gryffindors. Nika was alright with that though... studying is lame. "Well Ronnie I'm Nika Adler!" She said taking Ronnie's held out hand and give it a semi-firm handshake. "I'm a second year! Are you in your first?" She had never seen the girl before this term so either Ronnie was a first year or she transferred.

"Nice to meet you Nika, I'm a f-first year." she said. "Are you enjoying Hogwarts?"

Nika nodded her head enthusiastically. "I love it!" She beamed at The girl and then cocked her head to the side. "How about you? Enjoying your first year?"

"Thats great!" Ronnie said. "And...I was enjoying my first year. Hogwarts is amazing! But things........have happened to my family that have really got me down in the dumps lately...." Ronnie said, hanging her head a little.

magic tricks anyone? <3
 

Kurumi sat down at one of the study tables with a deck of cards, still in their box, in her hands. Sighing softly, Kurumi took the cards out and laid them down on the desk. Considering that they were a rather new desk, Kurumi found them to be rather stiff and unfriendly - especially with such serious faces on the King and Queen cards respectively. She had never been taught how to perform the bridge form of shuffling cards, so she instead shuffled them around on the desk and then attempted to put them back in some sort of pile when she was done.

Muggle magic tricks...she knew a handful thanks to her brothers. The one that she was particularly interested in trying out had been one that her oldest brother had used on her to trick her into doing his chores for him. Not that she wanted to trick her housemates or anything, but she did find the trick to be a cute one. Her brother called it the Ryunosuke Hokum.

Tapping the cards n the table, Kurumi wondered if anyone else was interested in trying out some slight of hand...

Trying to catch up on homework now that he had the time as other stuff had cooled down, Simon approached the study tables with his sachel slung over his shoulder. He wasn't sure where even to begin, a few subjects in mind appearing on the agenda that needed to be complete though some were more time consuming or due first then others. Spotting Kurumi sitting at a table, the quidditch captain approached quietly, absently watching what she was doing as he did so until it hit him.

Playing cards...

Groan. He had almost forgotten about History of magic class, or whatever the joint class was or had called. "Hey Kurumi, what's up?" he asked at first, a soft friendly smile on his face as what usually graced his expression around friends. "Looking to do Professor Cerulean's homework?"

Thinking that perhaps she would shuffle the cards around using her desk method again, she jumped just a little when she heard the familiar voice of Simon and she smiled up at him. It had been a while since she had offered the seventh year a genuine smile, but it had been a few VERY rough weeks. Her hair and finally gone back to being its usual raven black color and she had even gone down to the kitchens to bake earlier in the week.

"I was thinking about it," she nodded with a slight chirp to her tone. "Care to pick a card?"

She fanned out the cards for him to pick one.

When he got a smile in return, Simon couldn't help but notice that the third year's mood had obviously improved and he was glad to see Kurumi's cheerful disposition return. Setting the bag on the table off to one side, he took a seat, no sense of him standing as they talked or worked together.

"Sure...why not?" he asked rhetorically as he accepted the task at hand. The seventh year mulling over his choice of the fanned cards before finall chosing one out of the group on his left. As he turned it over to face him and not Kurumi, it revealed the 3 of diamonds.

Kurumi knew that timing of this trick was the ticket. So, the moment Simon selected his card, Kurumi pushed all the cards back together into a neat stack and, while Simon checked on his card, she took a quick glance at the bottom card. It was done so quickly that Simon wouldn't have noticed - especially with his focus on the card he had selected.

"If you have it memorized, you can place it on the bottom of the deck," she smiled as she offered him the deck. "The very bottom if you will."

Simon's attention was on the card in his possession as he listened to Kurumi's instructions, unaware of her movements or the meaning behind them as he had no clue as to her plan or trick. Satisfied that he had his card well in mind, he did as he was told taking the deck of cards with his left hand from Kurumi and placing the card in his right at the very bottom of the deck.

"Alright...what's next?" he asked offering the deck back to her.

Accepting the cards from Simon, Kurumi began cutting them in seemingly no particular pattern, but there was most certainly a method to her technique. When she had changed the cards' positions enough - well, enough to make it look as though the cards were entirely shuffled. Kurumi held the cards out proudly. "I am going to find your card," she explained as she flipped over the first card, the ace of spades. "Now, if you see your card, it would be best not to react to it." That was rather stating the obvious, but she ought to clarify just in case. Kurumi continued to flip through the deck, five of hearts....queen of diamonds...joker... Oops, she probably should have taken that card out...

Kurumi's eyes focused on the cards looking for one in particular...

The older lion absently watched as his companion dealt with the cards after taking them back from him, the boy curious as to what the overall outcome was going to be. Sure it was simple enough to guess even before her words what might now be her purpose but he certainly wasn't aware of her skill level, the topic never having come up before. Simon simply nodded as Kurumi spoke about what was to happen to show he understood. His face was calm and neutral as she started to flip over the cards, the faces of them showing up in random order, though his eyes glanced between them and the girl handling them.

Kurumi continued to flip over cards, glancing up every once in a while at Simon just out of habit and not with the intention of taking any changes in body language as a clue to whether or not his card had been flipped over. Nope, there was a different hint she needed.

...king of spades...seven of hearts...jack of hearts...two of clubs...9 of clubs...

Kurumi bit her lower lip and flipped over the next card.

...3 of diamonds...

Focussing a bit more, Kurumi continued to flip over card, about five or six more, before she stopped and her hand rested on the deck of cards in her hand.

"How much to do bet that the next card I turn over it yours?" she giggled as she used the exact same words that her brother had every time he performed this trick.

Simon continued to watch as card after card was turned over. He occasionally caught sight of Kurumi looking up at him as he did her and only offered a slightly raised eyebrow in response as if curious as to what her observances would pick up from him. Finally his card showed up and he did his best to show no outward signs of acknowledgement to slip up and reveal its identity. An event he felt he succeded in seeing as Kurumi continued to flip over cards . The question however took him by surprise and he tried to think of a way to answer.

"A chocolate frog," he offered playing it safe and picking the first thing that came to mind.

A chocolate frog? Kurumi found this a very acceptable offer. She had innocently bet two weeks worth of chores when her brother had done this trick to her the first time. It had been a crash course for her five year old self to not fall for her brother's tricks, but it was also a lesson that she still hadn't learned due to her trusting nature. Clearly, Simon had his wits about him more so than she had, not that Kurumi would really hold Simon to any bets he made - minus the offer of a chocolate frog.

Smiling, Kurumi set the deck down on the desk and turned her attention instead to those lying in a pile on the desk. Her eyes scanned for the 9 of clubs and, when her eyes found it, a smile appeared on her lips and she reached for the card resting on top of it, the 3 of diamonds, and flipped it over. She looked up at Simon with a triumphant grin on her face. "I do believe that you owe me a chocolate frog."

Rose sat down and waited for Ronnie to meet her here...

It seemed his offer was an acceptable one, so Simon simply smiled as he watched Kurumi move on to what was apparently the next step in the trick. He couldn't help look at her somewhat quizzically as the younger lion switched from the pile she had been dealing from to the discarded pile now laying on the table. His attention now more focused on her as he awaited to see just how she proceeded from now one. Even without him reacting when his card was presented, it seemed Kurumi was pretty confident as she talked and grinned at him.

"Wait...how did you?" Simon questioned in almost disbelief before shaking his head with a chuckle. "Good one...you'll have said frog," he assured her with a smile.

"A magician never reveals their secrets," Kurumi winked before pushing all the cards back into a pile on the table and attempted to put them in some sort of order. She was looking forward to her chocolate frog. It was about time that she wasn't afraid of chocolate frogs, but that Charms lesson last term that had quite literally turned the classroom into a chocolate mess. "It's a trick that my brother often used on me. Took me a long time to finally figure out how he did it."

Having finished dealing with the cards, Kurumi set them in front of Simon.

"Ok...then I relent but its still rather curious," Simon commented , catching her wink and not pushing further on the technique she had used. "I might have to try and think on it myself because its certainly interesting."

The older lion looked to the offered deck before picking it up in his hands. "Guess its my turn," he mused, absently shuffling the cards as he tried to think on a trick he himself could do. Unlike Kurumi, he didn't have much experience with it growing up, but he had looked over options both in class an dafter, he just needed to chose one to attempt.

Kurumi smiled. "It is actually a rather easy trick, but perhaps more obvious if you grew up in a non-magical environment," she nodded. Come to think of it, Kurumi wasn't sure that her and Simon had ever really swapped back stories. Was Simon a pureblood wizard? Half blood like her? She really didn't have any idea. But, perhaps, that was a good thing. Did it really matter? Not really.

Seeing Simon pick up the cards, Kurumi leaned her elbows on the table and then rested her chin in her hands as she waited for him to begin.

Simon shruged, Kurumi's words having some possible truth to them as he listened to her comment. "Possibly..." he replied in agreement. "Can't say I've had much interaction with this sort of magic, even with the muggle or muggleborn members of my family," he mused absently with a tilt of his head. Sure his family strove to keep its members open to both histories but certain instances tended to stay one side or the other.

"Alright, I'm going to make a prediction or reading while not looking at any of the cards," he informed his companion as he finally started the trick while finishing up his shuffling. He then held the deck behind his back as if to emphasize the fact he wasn't gonna look. While in that position, he descretely flipped the top card over and rested it face up on top.

Kurumi nodded and smile a bit more when Simon referred to what they were doing as magic. Some of the comments in class had, well, had kind of hurt her. Saying that is was fake or not real. It WAS real. It was as real to non-magical people as casting Avis was to witches and wizards. Perhaps she was being too sensitive to the matter, but she couldn't help it.

Bringing her attention back to Simon, she watched carefully as he began to perform. "What sort of prediction?" Like...telling the future?

"Uh huh...a prediction of the card that will appear from the deck when I show it to you," Simon confirmed with a nod before closing his eyes. The seventh year pretending to focus as if trying to read the card he was to show in the next step by some sort of psychic energy rather then sight.

"Now I believe the card to be the king of hearts..." he predicted bringing the deck back out front facing the bottom card...a 9 of clubs...towards Kurumi. while the card Simon had sneakly turned over behind his back, an ace of diamonds, was unknowingly to his companion facing him. His expression of confidence as he remembered reading was pivotal.

Ronnie found Rose at the study tables and sat next to her. "Hey." she said.

Kurumi leaned forward on her seat in anticipation as she waited for Simon to make his prediction. Seeing as there were 52 cards in the deck, Kurumi was a little skeptical as to how the older lion would be able to accomplish this.

Her skepticism was only confirmed when Simon announced that the first card was the king of hearts when it was, in fact, the 9 of clubs.

"Um...no..." Kurumi said raising an eyebrow.

Simon gave a look of disappointment as Kurumi pointed out that his guess had been wrong, the boy turning the deck to face him careful to use his hands grip on the cards to cover up the turned over card. "So it is..." he mused with a wrinkled nose before turning back to the younger lion as he returned the cards behind his back.

"Must have been a mixed up signal. Let me try again," the seventh year commented, closing his eyes once more and concentrating harder as evident by the longer time. This time he moved the propped up ace of diamonds to the position in front of the 9 of clubs.

"Alright I see the next card as a ace of diamonds," Simon said speaking his prediction aloud as he turned the deck once more to face Kurumi. This time though with the correct card in front and facing the third year.

Kurumi giggled and wanted to comment that his trick wasn’t a very good one, but that would be rude. Besides, he said that he was getting a poor signal from the cards. Kurumi was rather impressed that Simon could receive signals from the cards. She had seen some dramas back in Japan where people received signals from their hands through glowing colors, almost like holding a light bulb in your hand. Simon’s hands hadn’t glowed, so perhaps that had been the problem.

Kurumi eyes widened and a soft gasp escaped her lips. “Y-yes…” she said slowly. There was still a chance that this was nothing more than a lucky guess, so Simon was going to have to predict a few more cards before Kurumi believed. Her brain began to analyze his movements even more.

Simon raised an eyebrow at the giggles he received in response to his actions before relaxing the curious expression, taking it as amusement rather then Kurumi laughing at him to be mean. He smiled at the confirmation or his correct assessment, nodding as he brought the cards back to see it himself. Not that he doubted Kurumi at all and he knew how it was supposed to be from reading about it.

"Care for another demonstration or are you satisfied?" he asked with a small smirk. The second card he had flipped over as directions stated already in his mind for a repeat performance just in case.

Kurumi leaned forward a bit more on her seat. Was he honestly asking that question? She probably wouldn't be satisfied until he had gone through the entire deck of cards!

"Please," she said innocently.

Legend turned the page in the textbook, his eyes completely glued and his lips parting slightly mumbling the words. "First rebellion happened in 1612 in Hogsmeade. The Goblins went and met up in...someplace....a pub..or place....Hogs Head?" His brows came together and he shook his head. No, no. That sounded wrong. Yet...the Hogs Head was more abandoned so it would make more sense than the other option which would be The Three Broomsticks.

So the Goblins met in Hogsmeade in 1962 to have tea in Hogs Head so they could plan a rebellion! "No!" As his eyes fell back on the paper, Legend literally hit himself in the head. "It was the Three Broomsticks." This studying was going to be the dead of him. As a voice broke his thoughts Legends head shot up.

Orlando! "Lando!" The seventh year jumped up and pulled the other boy into a hug.

The older lion knew Kurumi's answer even before she spoke for her leaning forward and watching him intensively was a dead giveaway. "Alright...then another demonstration you shall get," Simon replied with a chuckle at her innoscent request.

"What do you wager I can name the correct card once more?" he asked figuring to make it like she had with her own trick. Just a little interesting.

Kurumi clapped her hands as Simon agreed to perform the trick again, but then her eyes narrowed in concentration. What did she wager? Kurumi didn't want to wager anything too crazy since, well, these card tricks were tricky and you never knew what was going to happen.

"A chocolate frog," she smiled. Worst case would be that neither of them would be giving out a chocolate frog to the other, right?

Ronnie walked up to a girl she had seen around Hogwarts, but she'd never introduced herself. She sat down and smiled at the girl. "Hi there," she started. "I'm Ronnie Weasley, what's yours?" she said with a smile. "Oh, I hope I'm not interrupting something..." she said.

Simon nodded accepting Kurumi's wager for it seemed only fair to be the same as before to give them her a chance to double her pot and he to win back the chocolate frog he lost. "Very well then," he remarked, returning the deck of cards back behind his back and focusing once more. Not on what card was next but what he remembered at the card he saw himself when he revealed the previous one though technically one in the same.

Finally the captain brought them back around front to show the younger Gryffindor again. "I see the six of spades..." he predicted showing the card which was in this case the same card he spoke of. The trick was learned and executed correctly once more.

Kurumi clapped and a wide smile appeared on her face. "Brilliant," she exclaimed as she set her hands on her lap and leaned forward a bit more. "Simon, can you do three at once?" After all, he did have all the cards memorized in that brain of his. right? Or was this trick more based in Arithmancy and the number associated with each card were resonating with his Heart's Desire Number?

"Don't worry about it. It didn't hurt." Legend shook his head. First Neptune, then Orlando. Did they really think a little punch would kill him? NO he was Legend Chosen, good to get back on his feet in a couple of seconds. He was like a he-man. Invincible and awesome.

Legend signed. "Me and Katie are better. We're sorry for the whole friendship thing. And I'm sorry that you felt so bad." It really was (half or even more than that) his fault.

Ronnie walked to an empty table, and began writing a letter to her brother. She kept thinking about her dad, and needed someone to talk to. Hopefully he would talk to her and understand how she felt. She began writing......
Rupert
I've been thinking about dad lately and have been very sad about it. I need someone to talk to, and you're the only one I feel comfortable talking to, other than mum. I just don't understand why dad would kill someone, he's not that kind of person. I'm really confused and want to know how the family is up there. Thank you for reading this.
Ronnie
She smiled to herself, and folded up the letter and headed to get a school owl to send it.
