Bryana could have practically skipped down the stairs of the Ravenclaw Tower. She, like everyone else, was enjoying the break from classes, and the nice weather.
Once Bryana reached the great outdoors, she noticed how crowded it wasn't. No one appreiciated the fresh air , anymore. She decided to head straight for the lake, a classic spot for Hogwarts students to just chill. She at first headed straight for the water. It was, of course, against the rules to go swimming, so she dive in or anything, she just sat along the sandy banks.
The lake was a favorite place, most likrly for the scenery. At this time of the day, the sun shone the brightest, glintering on the surface of the lake. the refelctions of the nearby mountains waved with the wind and the tide. It was beauty enjoying itself.
Bryana sighed and leaned back on her elbows, and closed her eyes, letting the rays from the sun feel hot on her face. Refreshing |

Yoobin was having a tough day, she woke up later than she wanted, had to skip out on her morning jog, and got caught up in between a fight with some Slytherins. Today was obviously not her day.
Yoobin stretched her legs and than started to jog very lightly. The weather was sunny and it was pretty hot. Since she missed her morning jog she might as jog now. She was dressed in a pair of white sweats, with a light baby blue tank top. Her hair was currently tied up in a super high ponytail.
After a few minutes of jogging, 20 to be exact, Yoobin was starting to feel the heat. Her tank top was almost drenched in sweat and quite frankly it was quite disgusting. Yoobin gave an 'ew' face and decided to head towards the lake to cool herself down.
She had always liked the lake before, it was soothing and relaxing. Not to mention whenever it got hot you could just cool yourself right there. Just as she reached the lake she saw her best friend, Bryana lying on the banks.
"Hey Bryana," Yoobin said. She headed towards the water and cupped her hands together. She splashed some water on her face to cool herself down. "It's a bit hot out isn't it?"

Bryana was lost on a world of excellent scenery, when she heard the sound of her best friend next to her. She jumped, obviously startled. "You scared me!" she shifted her legs, and then began to smile. "Although, I am happy to see you."
She watched her as she splashed water on her face. Bryana quriked an eyebrow and asked, " Don't you love it?" She herself favored the warmth more than coolness. She sat up, and crawled ove to the water. She ran her fingers over the surface, causing lots of ripples.
"You look like you've been running away from some sort of mischeif. Or..running anyway." she said to her, laughing at the pools of sweat drenching her tank . |

Yoobin laughed once she heard what her best friend had said, "I'm not that scary am I?" Yoobin ran her fingers through the water and started to move her hand in circular motions. The water was very peaceful and just being by it made people feel awfully refreshed, maybe that's why Yoobin is often found here.
"Yeah, it is quite calming," Yoobin said with a smile. Whenever she got upset she would always find herself here or studying. Every time she goes to the lake a feeling of calmness spreads around, leaving her in a good mood.
"I missed the morning jog," Yoobin admitted, "So I decided to take one now, but it's awfully hot outside." She reached back and took her hair out of the high ponytail. She started to mess around with it trying to make the kink go away. "How are you?"

"That explains it. I knew there was something off today." she said. She knew that Yoobin always took morning jogs. While Bryana prefer jogging in the afternoon. She just didn't like waking up early, so she always slept as late as she possibly could.
"What happened that you missed your jog?" she asked her. She figured that she'd just slept in late, or she just didn't feel like it. But as a concerened friend, she thought it was right to ask when things were out of the norm.
"I'm good. Swamped with homework though. And I've been meaning to get to Honeyudukes to pile up my candy stash, but I haven't had the time." she nodded, picking at some grass behind her. |

Yoobin nodded, "Yeah I woke up later than usual, must've been the late night reading I did last night." Yoobin always preferred morning jogs because of the weather. She hated jogging when it's too hot, so she jogs in the morning where it's still cool.
Yoobin smiled, grateful to have Bryana as a friend. Back in her first year Yoobin was more of a loner. No one knew her and didn't want to befriend her. It wasn't until she met Bryana that she understood the words real friends.,
"Yeah, homework's been pretty heavy lately," Yoobin commented, "Trip to Honeydukes? We should go together, I need more lollipops too."

"Of course I'll go with you. I have no one else to go with.." she laughed. "You are my best friend!" she said. She absolutely adored Yoobin. She was like a sister to her. They did everything together, and she made Brie feel like she was never alone at Hogwarts.
Bryana stood up and stretched. "I'm going to do a cartwheel now." She looked around to make sure no one was watching. She tucked her shirt into her skirt, so it wouldn't fly up, and sprung off on her hands for her cartwheel.
After she was done, she untucked her shirt once more and fixed her skirt. "You know I can't sit still for a really long time." she smiled, curtseying. "So, when are we going?" |

Yoobin laughed as she watched Bryana do a cartwheel, "Yeah I know, well at least you can cartwheel perfectly fine. I have to stick with my monkey turns." Yoobin was never one for gymnastics, ever since she was young she wasn't able to do a simple cartwheel. Her PE teachers all chastised her and told her it was simple and all that other crap, but Yoobin just still couldn't get it.
Yoobin didn't have many best friends. Most of the time she tried to keep to herself because she was afraid of being abandoned. It was a childish fear, but ever since her mother left her it left a mark in her heart. She had always been close to her mother and she showered her with affection all the time. When her mother passed away she stopped getting the attention she liked. Her father didn't show her any affection afterward either.
When she moved to London for the first time in her life, she didn't want any attention but ended up getting it anyways. Now she was just trying to not care about that kind of stuff.
"Let's see, next Hogsmeade trip?" Yoobin asked.

"Well, when is that?" she asked making a 'duh' face. Bryana wasn't involved in school affairs as much as others. She didn't keep dates of events, or plan to go to any parties (unless they were in the Ravenclaw tower). She had a love of learning yes, but a love of school, no. She guessed that she didn't fit in anywhere else, so this is where the sorting hat placed her. She didn't complain or anything. Being considered intelligent has it's advantages.
"Oh, and your monkey turns are special." she added, giggling. She imagined her attempting a cartwheel. They weren't the best, but it's not like it was an earthly essential to know how to do a cartwheel. |

Yoobin gave a nervous laugh, "Umm, why don't I get back to you on that." Dates was just another thing that Yoobin wasn't good at. She used to be great at memorizing dates and everything, but then her 3rd year came and she couldn't do it anymore. Not to mention, she never really kept up with that kind of stuff at Hogwarts. She had always thought of Hogwarts to be a place to learn and read and have friends, nothing else. She couldn't fly well so quidditch was out of the question.
Yoobin's mouth dropped, "Of course they are! I'm the best at those cause I've been doing them my whole entire life."
Yoobin got up and quickly disted herself off. She rose her hands and than did one of her infamous monkey turns. She landed in a squat and stood up looking proud. "Seee."

((ooc: sorry, my posts are getting short. They'll get longer but I have a really bad headache right now.))
"Yeah. Sure." Bryana replied, nodding her head. She could totally understand that dates weren't something that people liked to remember. She herself, didn't favor them either. She crossed her legs on the grass, and turned around to watch Yoobin.
After she'd done her monkey turn, Bryana blinked for a while. "Nice, Binney!" she clapped with encouragement. "This is a life-changing experience. I think we should share it with the world." she teased, sticking her toungue out. The two girls were absolutely nuts. That's probably why they were such great friends. |

((OOC: It's okay we all have those days))
Yoobin nodded her head, "I'll ask someone once I head back and take the shower I desperately need." Even though Yoobin didn't have many best friends she still had a couple good friends that kept up with Hogwarts. As weird as it sounds coming from a Ravenclaw but studies isn't everything in Hogwarts. At one point or another that was all Yoobin did, study. At first she felt as if that was all she could do, since she was placed in Ravenclaw by the sorting hat. Now, she's starting to learn all the great things about Hogwarts.
Yoobin's eyes widened and she started to swing her arms around to indicate 'no'. She started to shake her head too, making her hair fly all over the place. "The world is definitely not going to see my infamous monkey turn, even though it's infamous." Even thought Yoobin knew that Bryana was joking she still didn't want to take any chances. As much as Yoobin loves to stand out, something like that was a big no no for her.
After a few minutes Yoobin finally calmed down. She started to laugh at herself and her childish antics while smiling, "Wow, I just totally overreacted didn't I?"

"I'll say. I mean, I didn't want to say anything right away, but you pointed it out yourself. So.." Bryana held her hand over her face. She was just joking around, something she did on a daily basis. Yoobin, more than any one. For the fact that Yoobin knew her the best, and knew that she played around A LOT. So, for the most part she never got mad at her or anything.
"I love messing with you." she laughed at the girl's hysterics. She then shrugged, "I guess. I probably would've done the same thing." Bryana wasn't a big fan of performance in front of other people. "But if you really don't want to share your monkey turns, by yourself,it's cool. I'll just try to perfect them myself and we cna do them together." she smirked. |

Yoobin laughed, "Well I just jogged in this unbearable heat, what did you expect?" Yoobin had always thought that the greatest thing in the world was to have friends to joke around with, friends who would accept them no matter what, and just friends in general. Back when Yoobin was still in Korea she didn't have any friends. She didn't know why either, it was either because she kept getting into fights and they were scared of her or if it was her fault for not opening up. Although you can't blame her for not trusting too many people. Like it was pointed out before in One Tree Hill, People Always Leave. She was just hoping that Bryana wouldn't.
"Well you should, cause well it's me," Yoobin said laughing while lying down. Yoobin was the type of girl that didn't really care what anyone said about her, but her monkey turns were definitely different. After hearing what Bryana said she shot up, "Oh yes! And then we can like rule the world with our monkey turns! Even though you can do a perfect cartwheel while I on the other hand makes it look like the ugliest thing on Earth."

"I think I can work out a monkey turn." she smiled, acting like it was more difficult than a cartwheel. It was actually the exact opposite. "And, when I do my monkey turn, it will be uglier than your monkey turn." she said, shifting her legs, because one of them was falling asleep.
"It may take me awhile though," she bit her nail, and spoke through her teeth and her fingers. It was a terrbile habit, and she swore to get rid of it soon as she knew how. Eventually, magic would help..or hypnotism. "I guess I can try now." she looked around. They'd been out there only for a few minutes, and break wasn't over yet. They had about 20 minutes.
Bryana stood up, and tucker her shirt it once again. She took her wand out of her skirt pocket just in case she made a crash landing, and threw it onto her robes. She took a breath, and sprung off, trying not to stick her feet up to high in the air, but it was just a natural thing now. So, she ended up doing a cartwheel anyway. "Oops." she laughed.
She fixed her clothes back, and shrugged. "I think I need a little more practice." she said. |
