Becca sat by the lake humming to herself, hand in the lake the currents from the giant octopus pushed her hand lazily. Her feet were propped up one on top of the other straight in front of her.
Becca had come out to the lake because it was easy to see and someone was bound to come out whether for the scenary (which Becca admittedly loved), because there was a person sitting out here alone or some other reason. She wanted to find a friend because she ate by herself, sat by herself in class and hated being alone. Being alone didn't give you attention.
Becca was getting bored so she did what she always did when she was bored she sang. "Somewhere over the rainbow. Way up high. There's a place that I heard of once in a lullaby." Laying her head down on the grass she hummed the rest of the song thinking of Ireland and the beautiful meadows.

Lissie was walking next to the black lake, dipping her feet in the water when she heard someone singing in a very pretty voice. It was actually a song she knew... somewhere over the rainbow. She loved that song. "Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue.... and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true" she sang along quietly, looking for the voice. Emily walked up next to the other girl, "Hey, I'm Felicity."

Opening her eyes, Becca saw the girl who was talking. " And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true... Hi, I'm Becca. I'm a fifth year Ravenclaw. What about you?" She smiled at the girl sweetly, hoping this would be one of her friends here even if it would be her first and only friend at the time being.
Becca sat up straight and crossed her legs in front of her. The octopus suddenly jumped into the air startling Becca so that she fell back on to the ground. Clutching her sides, laughing Becca managed to say, "Gotta love that octopus!" Still red in the face, Becca sat up a more and extended her hand "Nice to meet you."

Felicity was about to answer Becca when the giant squid jumped out of the water. She jumped back and screamed, then started cracking up with the Ravenclaw. Still giggling, she shook Becca's hand. "I'm in fifth year too!" she sat next to the other girl, "I'm in Hufflepuff though." She smiled, perhaps this girl could be her first friend. "So... where are you from? Are you new here?"

Maybe this was going to be her first friend. Felicity did seem nice. "I was raised in Louisville, Kentucky and my family moved to Ireland where my aunts and uncles on my father's side live. I always lovewd Ireland." Becca paused. "How did you find out you were a witch? I learned by blowing up the family car's tires, cracking all the mirrors, and breaking all the windows because I was mad that we were moving from Ireland" Becca had always wondered if everyone had learned like her. To Becca it didn't seem like it would be very common. Becca smiled thinking of how she had found out she was a witch. The look on her mothers face was hilarious.

Lissie laughed, finding out you were a witch by practically blowing up the house sounded amusing! "That's so funny! I actually lived in Ireland too! County Cork!" she grinned, remebering what it was like to discover she was a witch. "Well, I'm actually muggle born," she glanced at Becca, she seemed like the kind of person who wouldn't care if she was muggle born... "Weird things were always happening around me, you know. Like one minute I'd be sitting on the porch thinking about a book I wanted to read... and the next second, I'd turn around and there it would be. Even if I knew that I had left it in my room. I'm also very forgetfull, so at my muggle school, I would always forget my homework, and I knew exactly where I left it; either at home or in my locker... and all the sudden, one of my friends would find it in their bag!" Lissie shook her head, still smiling. "I didn't actually find out I was a witch until I got my letter to hogwarts."

Smiling Becca said "I lived in Dublin, Ireland. My father is a wizard. My mom is a muggle. It was so cool when I found out I was a witch! My mom didn't exactly approve because of the way I found out but my dad was extatic. I thought my mom's mouth was going to touch the floor, but my dad was wearing a smile Lockhart would envy." Remembering how her parents looked Becca smiled. "Your a witch!" her dad had said. He looked so happy and then when she got the letter from Hogwarts. Her dad had never looked happy.
"How did your parents react being muggles and all I'd be afraid to find out I was a witch if before that day I didn't even know there were witches and wizards. Knowing how my mother reacted and her knowing witches and wizards were real and there was a possibilty I was one I wonder how muggles who didn't know there were witches and wizards would react. It would be weird for me. Did it scare you?" Becca thought of a few words probably used by her parents. Becca giggled at this thought.

Felicity thought for a second, looking out at the lake and rolling her answer around in her mind. Finally, she looked back at her friend, "Actually, I wasn't scared. It was more surreal to me than anything else. I guess I kinda knew all along that I was different." She sighed and looked down, "My parent's reaction on the other hand, wasn't that great. my mom threw a fit... she didn't want anything to do with magic, especially witchcraft." she bit her lip, but then smiled. "My Daddy was happy though. He's been with me all the way. It probably helped a lot that the schools headmaster came to see my parents to explain everything too." she said with a mock serious nod. Then she smiled again. "My mom has kind of cooled off about it now, though. My dad says she was probably a little mad because I couldn't grow up to be an Irish dance teacher like her. In fact, he thought my career as a dancer was over! But I proved them wrong! I still dance every summer!" she laughed.
"How about you, were you nervous or scared?" she asked.

"I wasn't really scared because my dad was a wizard and I was bound to be able to do at least a little magic, though I was nervous.
"I've never wanted to disappoint my dad. I mean it would kill me to disappoint him or my mom which means I have to be good at magic. I'm an only child and if I disappointed my parents well, I'm their only chance to get it right. To get what right don't ask me but I've always had this feeling that I could never let my parents down."
Becca looked at Felicity hoping to see that she understood. "Have you ever felt that way?"

Felicity smiled lightly, "All the time!" she said. "I always worked so hard at everything in muggle school. And then I would come home and practice dance for at least two hours before doing all of my homework." she sighed, surprised at how easy it was to talk to Becca. "I was always so determined to be perfect! But now I realize... most of that stuff I was doing... it had to do with what my parents wanted, not what I wanted!" Then she smiled, "I'm just glad that my parents are supporting me with my goals as a witch, whatever they might be." she laughed.

Becca laughed, "My parents always support me no matter what I do but I always get this feeling that no matter what I do its not good enough for them. I went to muggle school got good grades, I was good at everything I did and they always seemed pleased but I always pushed myself harder to make them extremely happy and it never seemed good enough to me.
"The only time I felt I made either of them happy was when I discovered I was a witch. Then my dad seemed extremely proud of me but my mom seemed mad." Becca sighed, "Making my parents happy is the only thing I can't excel at."

Lissie smiled, "I guess great minds think a like!" she giggled.
"What's your favorite subject?" she asked curiously. She wondered if they liked the same subjects at school too.

Standing up, Becca said "Care of Magical Creatures, I just love animals." It was true ever since she was a child she had loved animals and playing with them.
Becca paused then realized she still hadn't gone to one class yet. "We'd better go to class, I still haven't gone to one." Becca started to go and looked back at Felicity. "Are you coming?"

Lissie smiled and stood up, "I'm comming." she said, happily. Linking arms with her new friend, she started away.
