She had to admit, if nothing else, Hogwarts was a terrifying looking school. From a distance, the large castle loomed over the rocky and forested land below, and the sight was beautiful at best. Up close, the large bridge that let up towards the doors to the school made the castle look all the more ominous. Not to mention it was night out as usual on the first day of school. As the blonde made her way across the stone bridge, she kept her wand in her left hand, drawn for just in case purposes. She walked slowly, keeping her eyes on her surroundings and listening in on the sounds around her. She still held the jar with the flame inside, mainly because she had nowhere to put it... and partially because she just didn't want to let it go for some reason.
The heels of her boots tapped lightly as she walked, the sound, small as it was, still seemed to echo as she walked. She couldn't help her nerves as she was still not the same after what had happened. She felt uneasy at night and was always on edge, thinking that someone was watching her... following her... always right behind her.
"I guess we both had the same idea to avoid the crowds, go figure." said a sudden voice behind her.
Lystra jerked in fright and spun around, raising her wand at the person behind her. She nearly cast a spell but stopped when she saw who it was. She glared at the stone gray eyes before her that belonged to Roland and she clicked her teeth. Did this stupid guy have a death wish or something?
"You again? Ugh, don't sneak up on me like that! I could have hurt you, idiot." she said to him as she lowered her wand. How in the hell could she not have noticed him approaching her? It was as if he'd moved silently or something. She gave another look around them, clearly on edge still, before she started walking again towards the school. She didn't say anything to Roland and didn't care if he was going to follow her or not. Lystra just wanted to get within the walls of the school.
Then she could start to feel safe again.
