LESSON FOUR HOM FIELD TRIP!

[Christina Abbot]

Christina was crying her eyes out and feeling bad about losing both her parents it was such a hard loss. She heard her friend Lexi say about maybe they shouldn't of come here, then Lexi bent down and picked her up and gave her a hug. Christina felt so comforted by that hug, the only other friend she had who did something like that for her was Sophia her best best friend. She felt it was very kind of Lexi to hug her and comfort her she knew in her mind she would make it up to Lexi for her act of kindness and caring. She was still hugging Lexi as she gathered her thoughts trying to calm herself down. She really didn't want to cause a scene, she already had a past of causing scenes and breaking down and crying at 'Hogwarts'. She told herself to be calm and to fight the fear, to be strong.

"I...I am...ok...nooo..... It's ok I mean it was part of the class assignment I can't be running away from my pain and fears all my life."
"Sophia taught me that....she taught me that you can live your life trying to bring back your loved ones ..... that you have to get over it and learn to move on."

She said as she tried to wipe away the tears from her face while looking up into Lexi's eyes.

"I really appreciate your hug it helped a lot , it helped to show me that I'm not alone even though i'm an orphan."
"Your a real friend Lexi and a kind soul."

She said as she started to calm down and compose herself.

"I think I'm feeling better now we can continue if you like , I don't want to get an incomplete for the assignment. "

She said as she tried to put a small smile on her face but it didn't quite come though if one was watching they could tell she tried to smile.

[Kapri Matuchi]

She shivered, bringing her LILY'S sweatshirt across her arms. It was quite cold and this little trip, with the portkey and all. Just made it ten times colder. Brrrr; Kapri stood up shakily from the snow pile, which by now, from how the students had landed so awfully, had a huge dent in it, a "broken in" dent, she liked to call it. She saw Lily's dad and Lily and she waved frantically at the both of them.

"OH MY GOSH, WE'RE AT A GRAVEYARD" she giggled. She put her hands out in front of her, mimicing a zombie. No sooner had she done that but a girl around her age broke down. Kapri quit doing the zombie-thingie, and felt really really guilty. Maybe the girl didn't like zombies...

"I'm sorry" Kapri apologized, "Zombies are pretty scary, I know. But once you play them for awhile, you get use to them." she grinned, patting the girl on the shoulder. "It's all good. One day, when you're a little braverer, it'll come easier. Don't you worry right now." Kapri turned away from the girl, to hear a few words that Lily's dad was saying. Welllll. Godric Gryffindor had origins here?! Getting excited about the founder of her very own house, she clapped her hands.

"Whoo hoo! Gryffindor pride!" she whooped, standing on a tombstone and jumping off. She giggled, pulling Lily toward a wider tombstone.

[Sophia Davis]

Sophia stared down at the plaque in front of the destroyed Potter house, reading it several times. She just couldn't believe such a terrible thing had happened to people who seemed to be so good and so kind. To people who seemed such an asset to the wizarding world, and especially the Order of the Pheonix. Which had seemed to be a little out of the picture lately, but you know what, that's okay. One one this site had just never actually been organized. Ohhh the ideas are booming. As she decided it was getting a little too depressing to be looking at this plaque many times, she began walking away from it and towards the statue. She wanted to get a good look at it too, making a mental picture of it.

So sad, I must say.

Sophie didn't spend long at the statue, wanting to browse the graves in the graveyard. She stepped foot inside, along with many other students, and started to browse row after row until she started to come across some familiar names. As she came across familiar names, she began to stop and read dates, little one sentence messages on the graves, and the like.
