Reflecting

[Carma Rousseau]

Carma stepped out into the rooftop lounge carefully, looking around to see if anyone else was around. For the most part, the lounge looked bare. She didn't really know what she was expecting to find. After all, it was late and the graduation party was still going in the events hall. She was a little disappointed not to have anyone to chat with however. Carma walked across the lounge and settled in a chair by the edge, tucking her legs under her in a half-lotus position. She sighed, releasing all of the tension in her body and rested her elbows on her knees, her chin in her hands. The sky was bright tonight. Summer was upon them at last, it was obvious. Carma smiled, watching the giant squid wave its huge tentacles over the lake, occasionally picking boulders off of the bottom, rising them up to the surface, and throwing them across the lake, creating large splashes and huge booms. No one seemed to notice his...or her...usual late-night antice. The squid was always up to something. Carma sat back and watched him play, slowly closing her eyes as a warm summer breeze played across her face, lulling her into a state of reflection...She was sad to see a lot of the graduates go, but she knew they'd probably find their way back here somehow. Most of the students who had graduated were either professors or shop-owners now. It seemed that they just couldn't get enough of their cute little school. She herself wondered what she'd do in a year, after she'd graduated. Maybe that was best left to fate.

Don't fall asleep now *paul replied as he stepped into the lounge*

[Carma Rousseau]

(You slime!)

"Paul!" she nearly fell out of her chair, "Ack! You...I thought you were...what are you...What? Hey! Hi! What are you doing here?"

[Paul Halliwell]

I'm so sorry *he ran over and helped her to her feet* I'm sorry, I was just passing here and sensed you

[Carma Rousseau]

"Sensed me?" she got up and brushed herself off, smiling now. "You little snot...I could never hide from you." Carma blushed and waved him off, trying to look cooler than she did falling out of her chair. "So...I haven't seen you in days! Where have you been?"

[Paul Halliwell]

Homework *he blurted out* and finishing up lessons for the term, what about you?

[Carma Rousseau]

"The same," she said, eyeing him strangely. He was quick to prove his alibi. "Well...I didn't exactly go to my DADA final exam..." Carma blushed, "I sort of kind of skipped it. But...hey. It could be worse. What are you doing this weekend?"

[Paul Halliwell]

Dunno? Most likely some school work, but knowing myself, i'll get it done, you? *he walked over and took a seat*

[Carma Rousseau]

"I don't know yet...I was thinking, since it's our little vacation and all, about going to London. It's been ages since I've been to Diagon Alley. I think it'd make a nice weekend trip, don't you?" she shrugged and took a seat, crossing her legs half lotus. "Would you like to come?"

[Paul Halliwell]

Why not *he said smiling*

[Carma Rousseau]

She grinned slowly to a full smile of glee. "Excellent!" Carma nearly bounced over to his chair, plopping down on the end. "This will be great! Oh, gosh...the possbilities are endless now that I won't be alone! We can go muggle terrorizing and shopping and ride that stupid ferris wheel...See, I never do anything when I travel alone. Now that I have someone to drag along, you're going to Harrod's." She laughed almost maniacally. "It's going to be queer eye for the straight Paul...I can tell you that."

[Paul Halliwell]

mmm, okay?
