Cameron paced around the old hut that had been on the Hogwarts ground for the longest time. He was supposed to be meeting his sister around here. The only problem was that she wasn't anywhere in view and it was morning. She was most definitely asleep. So much for the two hanging out that day to catch up. Just spend time together like they did their whole summer. It didn't really matter, they had the whole year to make time for each other. So with a slight sigh he pulled his wand out of his pocket and began twirling it around, not allowing it to stop as it moved like a propeller through his fingers. When he was bored he tended to twirl his wand, no matter how hazardous it could be to himself and anybody else around him.
He then remembered that during the summer he had taken Robyn's wand once in a while and twirled hers as well as his. He had mastered twirling two wands at one time in one hand going in different directions. Sure he dropped them several times, which was the reason for a few burn marks hidden under the carpet Robyn cleverly found for him. Their mother would freak if she saw how bad his floor was. And he would much rather recieve an angry letter for that, instead of her screaming angrily at him. Their mom had a bit of a temper on her, and he would sometimes wonder what his father had seen in her. But he couldn't deny that his mother was very sweet at times. Thinking on this he continued twirling his wand as he turned to face away from the hut and begin walking off in a different direction.
He was thinking of heading over towards the lake. Maybe he could use a few rocks around the area to practice a bit of transfiguration. He had to admit that was probably one of his worst classes. But he never ceased trying. Whatever he couldn't pull off in transfiguration he pulled off in Potions. It was just something he was naturally good at. He switched his wand from his left hand to his right. He was going to try twirling it with his right. He was left handed, so that would be something if he accomplished it. The morning breeze swept over the grounds gently and cool. The young sun beat above him, showing hints that it would be very warm as the day progressed.

Alexandria had awoken that day pretty early. She always saw the sunrise, just before the sun peeks above the horizon. She looked around to see the other girls all snoozing away in their comfortable sheets. Alex pushed the covers to the side, and got up. She slipped into a white tank top, and a black skirt. She put her hair up into a bun, that had a few strands of dark hair skim the sides of her face. She then grabbed her Ravenclaw cloak; threw it on, and grabbed her bookbag. She checked around to see if anyone noticed she was up, but just like everytime she was unnoticed. She slipped out of the dormatories, and out of the common room, where she would later go down to the grounds of Hogwarts and enjoy the morning air until she cannot.
She strolled down the spiral staircase, noticing that many of the portraits were sleeping and looked so undisturbed. Alex continued to wander down onto the moving stairscases. Alex had pulled out a book and read it all the way down to the main floor, which she knew by the back of her hand. She looked up to see that she was on the ground floor and slipped the book back into her bookbag. She then headed out on her way, noticing that all the proffessors were huddled in the Teacher's Lounge, discussing the upcoming events and homework assignments. Alex slipped pasted them, and headed out the doors into the morning autumn air.
Alexandria loved the mornings, she didn't know why. She guessed it was the begining of the day; the life of the day. She strolled down the stairs and down onto the stone pathway, gazing at the scenary ahead of her. She felt the wind blow across her face, moving the strains of hair, causing them to dance. She didn't know where to go, for she had been to the lake a few times, to the forest, and the gardens. She sighed as her eyes flew to a small hut that was sitting by the forest. She hadn't been there before and no one hardly went there. She figured that's where she would find peace and quiet.
She strolled over to the hut, and then sat down on the ground next to the building. She set down her bookbag next to her and pulled out a black book, and then opened to a page, that she had bookmarked. She moved a few strains out of her face as she began to read. " 31 August 2007 Today I would have to say is one of the best day of my life. I had finally married the man I have always dreamed of being with. I never in my whole life would have thought that this day would have come. As I look back to the days where I thought everything was hopeless, fate had took a turn for the good. I am blessed to have a loving husband, and an adoring son, anyone could ask for. He has began walking now, and has even has began talking. I can't believe he's grown since the day he was born and now I am expecting our second child. Draco hopes for a girl that looks exactly like me. For now, our wedding has been the spotlight of our lives. I am now, from today forth, Mrs. Draco Malfoy..huh..I still laugh at that thought. Draco has no idea why. But I have put some photos of our wedding that Narcissa; my dearest mother-in-law had taken. Tonight is our reception and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with Draco. He has something planned tonight and I can't wait to see what he has up his sleeve. Anyways I better get going or my new husband will come up and carry me away..good night old friend and I will write to you tomorrow.." [/color]

Cameron had started to make his way away from the Hut. Twirling his wand lazily in his left hand. He now knew that he had nothing to do for the day. He and Robyn had planned this get together for a couple of days. Making him tell his friends he would catch up with them later throughout the day. But now he was awake early for no reason. If only his sister didn't feel like practicing later on. He knew she would make it to their meeting if it was around miday or along those lines. He didn't feel any remorse towards his sister. He should have known better than to suggest so early in the morning. But he couldn't help that slight sinking feeling that another day would go by without him spending more than a few minutes with his Twin. Some would probably say it's a good thing to have space from his sister. They had space, and they were close. But he still missed her. Being together, they knew what comfort and safety ment.
As he was about to sigh once more he turned his head slightly. The view he came to completely took him by surprise. He had been by the Hut for a while now and had not noticed someone else was there?! What happened to him being observant and thorough. He began walking towards the person and instantly noticed it was none other than Alexandria Malfoy. And she was also out here reading a slightly old looking book. He smiled slightly, He admired her drive to study and soak up as much knowledge as she could. Especially for one her age, She would definitely do something great when she was older. "Alex." He called out in his smooth low voice as he finished closing the few feet that had been between them, to where he stood beside her. "What are you doing out her so early?" He asked curiously. "Reading?" He added as an after thought looking back down at her book.
He still couldn't believe he had overlooked that someone else was here. But he had to admit, Alex had been very quiet. She hadn't even made a noise, or any movement that could make him think someone was around. "I've been here for a few minutes now. I'm surprised I didn't notice you here." He told her... And surprised that she hadn't noticed he had been there as well. He assumed the two were too absorbed into what they had set out to do at the Hut that they hadn't noticed they had company the whole time. He had been to busy thinking of what Robyn was doing at the moment. And Alex was most likely absorbed in her book. He found the situation quite comical and chuckled a bit, running his hand through his hair slightly. He had proceded to place his wand into his pocket. The last thing he needed was to hurt Alex or any of her belongings if he messed up with his wand when he was fooling with it.

Alexandria could feel the autumn wind brushing against her cheeks, blowing her long black hair around. She smiled as she turn to another page that was random, and began to read it. October 5, 1996 The days go by that I don't think of him. How my heart yearns to be held in his arms. To smell his scent once more. Today another day has gone by and yet no word from Draco. He had been on the run with the Death Eaters; that had attacked last June, killing Dumbledore in the process. I remember seeing his face looking back at me, as he ran deep into the forest, only to disappear into the night. Lurking high above was the lime color sky, that shone brightly as the Dark Mark appeared before us; knowing a couple of deaths had accord. I shake my head of this thought. My mind only wanders to if Draco is safe, and that I can't answer. I feel deep in my heart that he is. I just pray that the Dark Lord will not kill him for his envy and greed. Anyways I am stuck in hiding with my sister, since a new advice has been given out to capture blood-traitors along with muggle-borns, and right at the top of the list was the name of BLACK I don't know what may happen, but I know there is no turning back and there is no way for someone who is neutral, can only....
Alex had heard a voice behind her and it nearly scared her to death. Alex's eyes flew towards where the voice came from. "Cameron..god you scared me." She said as she started to laugh; as she could feel her heart beating a million miles an hour, pounding rapidly in her chest. She tried to calm it down, as she tried to get her breathing controlled. She was used to being somewhere alone and yet she didn't know that Cameron was around. She smiled. "Doing what I usually do, read or study. Besides I am always up around this hour." She said in her quiet, but yet loud enough for him to hear her. "May I ask why you are you out here so early?" She asked him, as her hair continued to dance in the wind.
She laughed. "Well they didn't give me the known fact of being the quietest Malfoy for being so loud." She said jokingly with a smile on her face. She was known that throughout the community of Wizards, or those who knew she existed. "I didn't think anyone was out her either. Not many people are up around this hour." She said as she continued to hold the journal in her hands. [/color]

“I’m sorry.” He replied quickly. He honestly hadn’t meant to frighten her. But he knew it was alright as she began to laugh. He smiled crookedly at her. This was a strange encounter. He couldn’t deny that. “You’re always up around this hour.” He repeated more to himself. He doubted he could do that everyday. But he could once in a while. Make sure he got his sleep some other day. He enjoyed sleeping until midday. It was something that usually never failed him. Unless by some inconvenient situation Robyn would wake before him and decide she was lonely. Then she would proceed to wake him up in the most random ways. He had had to stop thinking slightly in his head to be able to hear Alex. She was soft spoken and he had to pay more attention to make sure he didn’t miss anything she said.
“I was actually out here waiting for Robyn.” He said almost carelessly now. “I suppose she slept in late. Even though I told her to make sure to wake around this time. I honestly think she forgot about the meeting. Probably about me as well.” He chuckled shaking his head slightly. His twin sister was bad with schedules, He was surprised she actually made it to practice on time. He would have thought she would have been a few minutes late. But she had always loved the game of quidditch more than he ever had. And that was saying a lot as he enjoyed the game as much as the next person. “I suppose I should have realized she wouldn’t want to wake up so early on a weekend.” He shrugged slightly with a small smile still slightly in place.
“I’ll have to agree with you on that.” He smiled at her now walking closer and letting himself drop to the ground ungracefully. He stretched his legs out in front of him and looked up towards the morning sky. “Honestly. I thought the same thing.” He replied looking from the sky back to her. “It seems way too early for a Saturday to have people around.” He said, “I suppose that’s why I planned to meet Robyn around this time.” He continued. “She usually gets distracted when other people are around. Always finding more people to talk to. I swear. Sometimes she never shuts up.” He laughed good naturedly. “But I suppose one of us has to be the loud one.” He admitted. “I don’t think I’d do too good trying to talk to random strangers on the Hogwarts grounds. I’m much too reserved for that.” He grinned over at Alex.
As he continued to look over at her, the book she held grasped more of his curiosity. The book just looked old. He wondered how old it actually was. “So what exactly are you reading there?” He asked, just wondering what the book was about. How good it was to actually read it early in the morning and possibly late into the night. It looked as if the pages had been turned many times and he wondered how many times it had actually been read. If it was a book that Hogwarts hosted, or one of her own. So many questions about a small book that was really none of his business.
