A Storm is a Brewing… or Not?

[Ty'e]

Ty’e had been practicing her spells and charms most of the afternoon and was now taking a small breather. She loved the fall weather. She didn’t know why but she loved the crisp cool air, the smells, and the colors. That and with All Hollows Eve coming up soon she loved it even more. She sat on a log by the lake looking over the water. She for once was dressed in her full Slytherin house robes and her dreads where pulled into pigtails. She sat there playing with her Celtic knot engraved white wand looking at it and sighing. She debated long and hard to try to transfigure into her fox form and going for a walk. She had had a stressful day. Not only had her charms teacher been on her about getting things right in her advanced curriculum as well as some of her fellow Slytherin were having there fun with her because of it. It even got to the point that she skipped dinner so she wouldn’t have to put up with them right now. She knew in a day or two they’d stop but for now she’d just avoid them till said day’s passed. She fiddled with her wand just zoning out looking at the crystal clean water as she thought. She noticed the water ripple a few times and smiled. Likely some water animal or creature was doing the same as her, as she watched the water it watched the surface. She guessed it was a mermaid or something along the lines. The rippling so started in the opposite direction then her and vanished. She stood and went about her spells again. She put her wand in front of her and waved it at nothing.

Meteolojinx Recanto![/i]

A small rain storm started to form a few feet in front of her but started to dissipate. She wasn’t relaxed enough to considerate on keeping it formed. She was starting to get frustrated and tried again

Meteolojinx Recanto!!

Again the small rain storm started to form a few feet in front of her she still couldn’t get it to stay formed. She wasn’t relaxed and was getting more and more frustrated.

Meteolojinx Recanto!!!

She was at the point of yelling and just giving up…

Chayton Claythorne sighed, finally feeling a little at peace. Away from the chaos of Gryffindor, away from everything...
The way the sun hit the lake made it look like it was producing its own light. A few ripples went through, and Chayton focused his eyes trying to see what, but he couldn't from where he was.
Chayton growled to himself. In Charms class, everyone had been able to produce some sort of a Patronus this week.
Everyone but him.
Andare wouldn't let him live it down that he could actually do something his brother couldn't; this evening, he had to walk out on him and his dumb ranting.
Maybe he just didn't have memories that were happy enough for a Patronus...
Chayton stiffened, realizing he wasn't alone as he saw another student in front of him, their wand raised in the air. A Slytherin, by the looks of it, too...
Chayton's eyebrows furrowed together, puzzled. It was only Ty'e.
He hadn't really spoken to the girl before, not since the first day at Hogwarts in the Sorting Ceremony. Even then, it was only a few words...
Meteolojinx Recanto!!!
Chayton saw a small raincloud, an abstraction to the perfect fall scenery, come and nearly immediatley afterward dissapear. She seemed stressed; maybe she couldn't perform the spell well.
Chayton took a few steps torward her, his large footsteps heavy. She could probably hear him coming.
"You have to focus on what you want to happen." he said, his voice void of any kind of emotion and serious. "If you don't, it doesn't work."
Chayton smiled a little, turning friendly. "I'm Chayton, by the way. Chayton Claythorne. You met my twin earlier."
He looked at the girl, scanning her. He didn't really know her well enough. He didn't even know her name.
But there was something different about her.

[Ty'e]

She stopped and turned quickly when she heard someone’s heavy footsteps walking towards her. She looked frustrated with herself and eyed up the boy. She remembered him from the first day back. But she also knew there were two of them and wasn’t 100% sure if he was the nice one she kind of liked or the one she wanted to practice her silencing spells on.

I am focused but it keeps not working… I want a rain cloud and moments after it’s done, it’s gone. I can create it; I just can Keep it there

She crossed her arms over her chest in defeat at the spell she had been trying to cast. Her wand was still in her hand as she dropped her gaze for a long moment towards the ground before looking up at him with a half smile

You’re not the one who was dog calling at me, are you?

She gently held out her hand but realized her wand was in that hand and quickly changed hands

I’m Ty’e, Ty’e Loader worst Slytherin in my year… Well of any year actually to tell the truth

Her voice was soft and she gave him more of a sweet smile. You could still hear the frustration and stress in her voice but it was still soft towards Chayton. She felt a little better since he was there, not so much alone anymore. That feeling seemed odd to her but she just brushed it off

So what bring you out here? Meeting up with some girl or something?

She blushed a little as she said it but didn’t realize the pink now tinted her skin. She was surprised how nice the Gryffindor was being to her seeing as she was in the Slytherin house and there to respected houses did fight…. A lot

Chayton grinned a boyish grin, his white teeth exposed.
"I'm sure you're not that bad." he scoffed, one of his eyebrows raised. "My brother's pretty bad at spells. He was the one who was dog calling at you, by the way. Not me."
Chayton shrugged. "Focusing usually works for me-"
"So what bring you out here? Meeting up with some girl or something?"
Chayton looked down awkwardly at his feet, a small, boyish grin coming to his face.
"Naw, I'm just down here...walking around and thinking...and stuff."
Chayton furrowed his eyebrows together in self mocking. "You honestly expect me to get a girl...wait, you don't know me. Well, still..."
Chayton sat down next to the seventh year Slytherin, his dark eyes clouding.
"You don't mind if I sit here?" he asked, smirking. "You know, there aren't many scenic places by the lake nowadays..."
Chayton looked down, his hands close to Ty'es. The Slytherin was pretty and nice and everything he'd want in a girl...but she was a Slytherin. He was a half-blood. It wouldn't happen.
"Yeah, but you really just kinda need to focus on making the storm." he said awkwardly. "I...uh...the perfect storm...it happens often when it's intently...focused on a common goal."
He looked down at his sun wrinkled, a little dirty Native American hands, which were folded together. "You know how that is, I'm sure. How things can actually get along."
The conversation was getting more and more awkward by the minute, but Chayton didn't want to leave. Ty'e was nice, one of the few friends he had outside of the Gryffindor house.
They got obnoxious often.

[Ty'e]

She looked at Chayton and gave him a half sweet smile. He looked at her wand for a moment then back over to the lake and looked out over it

It’s just hard to focuses on it, just stressed out over everything...

She glanced over at him and gave him a bright smile. Still a small smile but a bright one none the less

Oh I beat you’re not that bad, I can’t imagine it being hard for you to get a girlfriend if you wanted one. I’m sure any girl would want to be with you. You seem like a really sweet guy

She blushed a little at her own comment and dropped her gaze. She shock her head when he asked if he could sit and gave him a little half smile. She didn’t mind at all if he sat next to her, she actually like the idea of it.

That’s true, that’s why I like this spot, it’s peaceful…

She rested her hands next to her, leaning a little forward looking out over the water. Her wand was in her one hand. She tilted her head to the side, towards the Gryffindor and thought about what he was saying for a long moment. She had been so focused on a ‘storm’ that she lost the true meaning of it. The clouds, the air, the rain everything was needed to make a storm not just the whole but the parts of it. She lifted her wand slowly in front of her and almost in a whisper tried it again.

Meteolojinx… Recanto…

She looked out over the water as a storm slowly started to form. The clouds rolled in, not just appeared. The rain started to fall and there was even thunder and lightning. It slowly grew stronger and stronger as she focused more on it. She slowly dropped her hand down and just watched as the storm grew. She didn’t even notice at first that her hand landed with wand on Chayton’s hand. She blushed and glanced at him only moving her hand a little but not fully off of his. She turned her head towards him just noticing how close he was. She wan millimeters from touching nose to nose with him. She went to say something but nothing came out

… … …

Oh I beat you’re not that bad, I can’t imagine it being hard for you to get a girlfriend if you wanted one. I’m sure any girl would want to be with you. You seem like a really sweet guy.
Chayton was a little surprised.
"Well...uh...really?" he said awkwardly, looking down. "I mean, I don't get that often."
Chayton Claythorne looked as she raised her wand, looking at the cloud condensing before them.
Meteolojinx… Recanto…
The cloud was starting to storm and gray, raining on the little blades of grass below it. Chayton smiled.
A sudden warmth on his hand took him by surprise, and he turned his head to face Ty'e, their noses only a few millimeters apart.
Chayton leaned his head in nervously, knowing the prologue before a kiss was sometimes the most breathtaking.
As he leaned his head inward a little more, their lips touched once. His head accidentally moved back less than a millimeter, but he pressed his lips to hers again.
Chayton kissed her for a few more seconds, until his eyes opened in horror, pulling his head away.
"This is wrong." he muttered, his face still close to hers, but turned. "I'm a Gryffindor, a half-blood at that. You'd get endlessly teased."
The Gryffindors eyebrows furrowed together in worry. Ty'e already had a bad rep as it was, and being seen snogging a half-blood would surely make her a victim of teasing.
Or worse. I've heard of a few Death Eaters in Slytherin...
"I do like you-"
"YES! GO CHAYTON!"
Chayton turned, seeing his twin brother at the top of a hill in full view, whooping and clapping his hands.
"Andare!!!" Chayton yelled. "Get out of here!"
The twin didn't seem to pay attention to his brothers displeasure, laughing so hard his sides heaved.

[Ty'e]

Her heart was going on over drive and he slowly leaned in. When he only just touched her lips for a moment her bottom lip trembled for a moment but then he pressed his lips to hers again. She kissed him back not knowing how much she wanted this. This was her first kiss and she blushed a deep red. She closed her eyes as they kissed but suddenly opened them as he pulled away
"This is wrong."
She didn’t know that three simple words would almost drive her to tears.

I am already endlessly teased, do you think I like being a Slytherin? Every year I ask to be moved and every year I am told no. The only time I have ever felt welcome here was when I was sitting at the Gryffindor table... with you…

Her voice was shaky and there was a hint of how upset she was in her voice as she spoke. She lightly squeezed his hand as she spoke. Her anxiety was slowly starting to kick in. She was never ready for this type of thing that why she had never been with anyone she was always to afraid to be. But with Chayton some part of her felt calm with him.

I don’t care if your half blood, full blood or muggle born that means nothing to me. Your blood is not who you are, we all bleed the same in the end

"I do like you-" "YES! GO CHAYTON!"

She suddenly turned and saw the other boy as he yelled down at them. Her checks burned and her anxiety kicked in full force and she started to breath heavy. She wanted nothing more than to be a fox at that very moment and just run. She felt like she was set up.

"Andare!!! Get out of here!"

She turned away from Andare and quickly put both hands over her face. This was not how she wanted her first kiss to be like, more so when she really liked the boy who had kissed her. The storm cloud that had been gently raining the whole time suddenly burst out with a loud crash as it dissipated do to Ty’es stat of mind.

Chayton blinked at Ty'e, his eyes widening.
I am already endlessly teased, do you think I like being a Slytherin? Every year I ask to be moved and every year I am told no. The only time I have ever felt welcome here was when I was sitting at the Gryffindor table... with you…
"You...really..." he said, trying to think of words to say back to her. "You mean that?"
Chayton sighed, trying to ignore the sounds of his brother cheering on his first kiss.
"I do really like you. I don't know a lot of people like you. You're really unique, you know." he said simply, his mind fuzzing over in a haze with embarrasment.
His voice was a little bit of a whisper.
"You really don't mind?"
Ty'e was a pureblood and him a half blood, things could get violent if other people found out. Yes, Xanthe had dated a half blood before, but one of the reasons no one called on her for it was because she was so...intimidating.
I'm not intimidating. I can't even protect myself.
Chayton looked down, a smile on his face.
"I'm not that great, you know."
The silence was broken yet again by Andare's cheering.
I don’t care if your half blood, full blood or muggle born that means nothing to me. Your blood is not who you are, we all bleed the same in the end...
If only everyone thought that way.
She was an intelligent thinker, Ty'e was. She didn't seem to mind his background as much as any other Slytherin would, and the dark skinned boy was thankful for that.

[Ty'e]

If I didn’t mean it I wouldn’t have said it…

The ‘cheering’ from his brother was not something she could handle at the moment. She slowly slipped into her anxiety as her face paled. Everything inside of her told to just run and get away from it all as another part told her to stay there with Chayton.

"I'm not that great, you know."
She looked at him with a weak half smile

Neither am I… and… you’re going to hate me it two seconds…

She couldn’t take it anymore. She stood quickly turning wand pointed out at Andare. Her face was pale from anxiety and she just looked up him, you could tell she was upset.

Silencio!

With a simple flick of her wrist silver whips came from her wand and towards the target, Andare. She cast the silences spell on him in attempted to stop him. She flicked her want again Muffliato! her next spell was one that disallows others from overhearing a conversation, their conversation. And just to top it off Obscuro… to create a blindfold over his eyes. She stood there glaring at the boy she just cast on slowly trying to calm herself. Ok maybe she got a little carried away, but one does that when having an anxiety attack….

She pulled her wand back and looked at Chayton and bit her bottom lip realizing what she just did

I’m sorry I… I shouldn’t have done that… I….
She slowly sat back down next to him but didn’t dare look back up at him; she just cast three spells on his brother.

Ah hell she was already in over her head and she knew she couldn’t slip in to her anxiety any farther then she already was. She looked at him for a moment and leaned in kissing him a hand finding its way to his chest. She stayed there for as long as she could before pulling away her voice quiet even with knowing the other boy couldn’t hear them now.

I really don't mind, I actually… fancy the idea…
