Nighttime Flying ||Open||

[Alianna de Mastré]

A petite brunette sat down in the Alianna de Mastré Common Room, nothing really to do. Classes hadn't started yet, so she couldn't be obsessed with her schoolwork. So she was left with the decision.... What to do with her spare time?? She was the Head Girl in her year, so she could go out and do some of her duties, but she was sure that students weren’t getting into much trouble this early in the year. After all, it was only the first few days of school. She let her mind stray for a small bit of time as she glanced around the Common Room, it being empty. No one would care if she went out for a walk now, would they?? She smiled faintly before she decided that she would have to go outside to clear her head, as the Common Room was beginning to fill up with some people. One of her best friends walked up to her and asked her where she was going, but the brunette just shrugged her off saying, “I’ll be back in a bit.... If I’m not back anytime soon, don’t wait up for me....” She knew that this wasn’t going to be a problem, as her friends usually didn’t wait up for her anyways. She sighed lightly before she exited the Common Room, glancing around the fourth floor corridor. She smiled faintly before she wiped the smile off her face. She wasn’t looking forwards to this right now.

Someone was coming towards her, but she didn’t know, or care who it was. She sighed lightly as she, Alianna de Mastré, the brunette, pushed her way through the crowd of people, most likely headed into the Common Room to relax with her friends. If only her life was so carefree like that.... That was the last thought that she let herself think as she exited the castle, making sure that nobody saw her sneak out the great oak doors leading to the grounds. She wasn’t sure where to go, but she just needed to get away from her life, from everyone in her life. Sometimes everything was just too much to handle, so you needed a small time out, something that wasn’t always that exciting either way. Reaching the outside, she didn’t know exactly where to go. That just occurred to her. She sighed lightly as she knew where she wanted to head. A place that would help her relax and get some of her energy out of her system.

Alianna took off at a slow jog down the long, winding paths, making sure not to trip on any stones or such. She sighed lightly before she picked up the pace, realizing that she wouldn’t be able to got to sleep when she got back to her dorm later that night. It was good her friends weren’t going to wait up for her. She wouldn’t have wanted to bother them anyways. She sighed lightly as she reached the gates to the Quidditch Pitch. Being a Chaser on the Gryffindor team since her first year, Alianna was one of the most experienced Quidditch Players at the school, probably the most experienced. She had, after all, played for seven years already, this being her eighth. Within five minutes time, Alianna had grabbed a school broom and was up in the sky, doing laps around the field to warm up. Not much time flew by before she was working on some tricks that her one cousin had taught her. Then again, he played with one of the Professional Quidditch Teams, so she was always practicing with them. She was even allowed to play with some of them during a match or two. They secured her a place on the team in her fifth year, so when she graduated she would have something to do while she was going to get a career. And if it all worked out, she could play with them sometimes during her eighth year of school, as long as her grades stayed up and they wanted her. She could fill in for one of the chasers if he/she got hurt, as they didn’t have any back-up chasers on the team. Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice speaking to her from the ground.

[Ellie Weasley]

Ellie was sick of everyone coming to look for her, for 'talks'. She sighed, throwing her things down on the couch in the common room and heading out the door. She wasn't worried about anyone taking her things, it wasn't as if she had anything valuable. She was a Weasley after all. She wasn't going anywhere in particular, just some place where no one would look for her at. Ah, the quidditch pitch, perfect place. She wasn't a big fan of the game and most people knew that. While others were flying around on broomsticks, Ellie was usually working on her lines for a school production. She tied her fiery red hair back into a ponytail as she walked, passing by the lake and the people surrounding it. Without even a passing glance she walked straight to the pitch. As she walked onto the field she noticed someone flying in the air. She wasn't sure who it was and squinted her eyes to try to get a better look. "Um hello?" She called up to the figure. It was a girl, she could tell that much by the length of the hair.

[Alianna de Mastré]

"Um hello?"

The voice drifted up from the ground to the brunette hovering on her broom. She figured it would only be polite to head down and see who this girl was that was talking to her. She wasn't used to people coming up to talk to her all the time, but she didn't mind. She was a bit outgoing sometimes, more of an extrovert than an introvert. Not that that small fact mattered at this school. She smiled and quickly dove towards the ground, her wavy auburn hair flying behind her. Letting her feet touch the ground, she grabbed the broom and moved it to her right hand, where she was most comfortable holding it. Moving on over to where the girl stood, she smiled. Alianna quickly replied to the girl, "Hello...." She didn't know what else to say to the girl that had just came into the pitch. Squinting in the dim light, she could make out that the girl had longer red hair.... She wasn't sure exactly who it was, as she only usually had her core group of friends.

[Ellie Weasley]

Ellie took a step back as the girl flew down to the ground. She looked some-what familiar, from what she could see anyway. She was probably one of those people Ellie passed by in the hall. She could always remember faces, it was the names that caught her off guard. "Oh, I was just wondering who was flying at this time of day." She replied. "I thought I'd be the only one out here. Sorry if I..bothered you or something." She said, not wanting to disturb the girl or anything.

[Alianna de Mastré]

"Oh, I was just wondering who was flying at this time of day. I thought I'd be the only one out here. Sorry if I.. bothered you or something."

Alianna smiled to the girl for a few minutes as she laughed quietly. She was a bit appologetic for every little thing, and there wasn't anything wrong with the way that she had come up and asked about her. Alianna replied quickly, "No.... It's fine with me." She thought about what else to say for a few moments before she continued quietly, "I'm Alianna Alianna de Mastré. And you are??" She thought it only polite to introduce herself to the girl, even though she wasn't sure if she'd ever met her before or not. That was fine though, as Alianna's manners kept up even though she was a bit snobby at some times. That was mostly when you were the girl's enemy though.

[Ellie Weasley]

"Oh okay and I'm Ellie Weasley." She replied with a friendly smile. The name didn't ring a bell, but there wasn't anything wrong with meeting someone new. Alianna seemed like a shy person, but maybe you just had to warm up to her as most people were. Ellie didn't really care who it was she was talking to, she just always seemed to be the louder one in a conversation. She cleared her throat before she continued. "So what're you doin' out here?" She asked.

[Alianna de Mastré]

"Oh okay. And I'm Ellie Weasley. So what're you doing out here?"

Alianna smiled to the girl and observed her for a few minutes before she sighed lightly, not sure what to say. Then the girl continued for a moment, the brunette listening intently to the rest of her statement. What was she doing out here?? She hadn't really given that much thought, other than she wanted some time away from the common room and the rest of her "click" to have some fun alone. She smiled before she replied, "Just flying.... One of my hobbies. What about yourself??" The girl didn't seem like much of a Quidditch player, but there was nothing wrong with that. She had plenty of friends who weren't taking much liking to the sport.

[Ellie Weasley]

"I don't really know, I just wanted to get away from everything. You'll probably never find me out here after tonight. I'm not really into the 'Quidditch thing'." She replied. She was used to her friends playing it, but she was always the different one. Okay, so there was another factor. She was also deathly afraid of heights and hanging onto a stick for dear life high up in the air just wasn't her cup of tea.

[Alianna de Mastré]

"I don't really know, I just wanted to get away from everything. You'll probably never find me out her after tonight. I'm not really into the 'Quidditch thing'."

Alianna quickly smiled and played with the broom in her right hand, moving it from her right to her left and then back again. She smiled, "I love the sport.... It's so fast-paced and everything.... I don't know what I'd do without it." And besides that point, it was the way that she got rid of most of her stress. The fact of throwing something through hoops made your stress go away slightly, or that's how she saw it. She figured that it did give her some advantage though, since she would always go out at night and practice, for lack of anything better to do. She grinned sheepishly before she glanced around the pitch again, her eyes well used to the darkness that was overcoming the field.

[Ellie Weasley]

"I'm more of a slow-paced person. Anything fast-paced just completely goes over my head." She replied with a smile. "So what house are you in?" She asked. She knew she'd seen the girl, but didn't know where.

[Alianna de Mastré]

Alianna quickly smiled to the girl for a moment before the question actually hit home. Oh.... She's talking to me I guess, she thought quickly before she smiled back to the girl, hoping she didn't realize that the brunette had been daydreaming a small bit. She also didn't always agree with the girl, as she figured out, as the girl didn't like fast-paced games and such. She totally disagreed, but people were entitled to their opinions. "Gryffindor.... Seventh Year to be exact. What about yourself??" she replied quickly, her hazel eyes sparkling.

[Ellie Weasley]

"Oh I'm in Gryffindor too, but only sixth year. That's probably where I've seen you then. You seemed a little familiar." She replied.

[Alianna de Mastré]

Alianna nodded slightly as she looked over at the girl. That might be why she seemed a small bit familiar. She was another one of the Gryffindors. That was okay though, since she didn't totally know all of them, especially with her French background and such. There was just too much going on to know everyone. She smield lightly for a moment before wiping it off her pale pink lips. "That is most likely why you seem a bit familiar.... Well.... Anyways. Nice to meet you.... Well, actually meet you," she responded quickly, making sure she didn't sound too weird.
