Night came faster, than Katie had expected. She looked up to the clock tower, and heard the chimes. It was after curfew. At first, Alice felt scared of the consequences. She knew if she was caught out here, it would be bad.
It wasn't clear, why Katie had chosen to sit under the tree, watching the lake, as the sun slipped under the horizon. Maybe she wanted to be alone. Maybe she needed to think. The sure thing was that she wasn't aware of her tiredness.
Somehow, she'd managed to fall into a deep sleep. It wasn't until she felt something wet fall on her cheek, that she looked up,realizing the night had come. It was starting to rain. Not a downpour, by any means, but certainly enough to get the sleeping girls attention.
Katie stood up, and brushed the dirt from her robes, as she shuddered slightly. She took a single finger to her cheek, and removed the rain drop that had fallen on her.
"I don't see anyone." she said, looking around with a smile.
After all, what was the harm, she'd already broken the rules,now. If she was going to be punished, shouldn't it be worth it, by her standards. Katie stood up, and eyed her broom with happiness.
"Couldn't hurt, now." she said, already having made up her mind.
She mounted it, and was in the air quickly. Rising higher now, she felt the light rain falling on her, she pulled her hair from the band that held it in place. Flying swiftly, she felt the breeze flow through her hair. this was so nice.
Whatever the reason for her falling asleep before, didn't matter. She was wide awake now, and she flew all around, not paying attention to the ground below.
And, therefore, unaware of the watching eyes,below.

Aureila could not get to sleep at all tonight. She was bothered by something she could not quiet name. What was it now? she asked herself grumply before rolling out of the bed. Luckly no one was woken up at the time. Thank god, she thought, groping in the dark for her wand. Oh this is stupid. Lumos she hissed in her head. A bright light shot straight out of her bed. How the heck did it get there? she wandered.Accio wand. The wand slid neatly into her grasp.
She straightened and got dressed quickly. Her ears perked up, hearing the gentle sound of rain. She smiled as she tightened the emerald green cloak around her neck. The young Riddle swepted out of the Slytherin common room.
She broken into a full run once she was in the castle grounds. The rain fell on her face lightly. A sound caught her ears and she looked up. Her face broke into an evil grin.
"Hey Bell!!" she yelled. "You know whats going to happen right?" She was going to love this.

Flying happily, Katie almost didn't hear the voice from below. Looking down, and flying towards the earth again, he smile faded. It was a slytherin. Katie knew the girl was younger, by her looks, but these days, the dark side, had babies training up for a position with the esteemed death eaters.
He smiled faded, and her face took on a serious expression.
Unmounting her broom, and walking up to Aureila, Katie looked into her eyes.
"No, what?" she said bitterly.

Aureila dare not blink when the girl had walked over to stand in front of her. An evil grin spread across her face. She knew Katie was older than her. As if that would do anything, she thought dismissvely.
"Well I can turn you in and probably get detention," she began, folding her arms.

A smile drew on Katie's face. Sure the girl could go and tell,but she would have to have been breaking the rules too, in order to have seen Katie. So, she too would get some punishment.
"I don't mind,I'm sure that's something, children like yourself like to do." Katie said smiling still. She found it funny this younger girl had made the threat. There were a few spells she could use against her, but then again, the other girls face showed she was capable of fighting back.
Katie wasn't in the mood for it, just now. So, she stood there eying the younger girl.
"Remember you're breaking the rules, too,though." she added, tilting her head slightly.

Aureila had laughed outright at that. "I break rules all the time," she said, her eyes twinkling with amusment. "The teachers will know me at least." she said still laughing. "So they won't be surprise at all to see me." her eyes narrowed a bit. "When I can't slep it helps me to wander. So my mind or whatever could be cleared."
She eyed the broom and a smile spread across her face. "I take it you don't want to battle?" she asked innocently. "I'm almost good at playing Quidditch but I won't mind having a go,"

Listening to the girl, Katie thought about what she said. It was a bit obvious which house Aureila belonged to. There were two main houses that were known for detention trips, Katie's, for being brave, and standing up for themselves, and then Slytherins, for breaking all the rules, and sometimes carrying out the business of death eaters.
When the girl looked at her broom, Katie pulled it a little closer to her. She wondered weather or not it was a good idea to let the younger girl have a go. Eventually, she thought it would be ok.
"I love it, and flying in this weather gives it an edge." she said smiling. "No, I don't feel like fighting, so, if you want to, um, fly, you can." she added,as she held out her broom for Aureila to take.

Aureila chuckled a bit. "What a shame," she teased gently. "I wanted to test your ability in Quidditch against mine." she waved the offered broom away. "I actually brought my own," she admitted, walking over to the tree a mile away where her broom was. She quickly walked over and mounted her broom. "You sure now?" she asked. "Last chance,"
Without waiting for a reply, the young Riddle kicked off from the ground. She laughed as she rose. This was muchbetter than she thought. She felt freer now. The rain washed away her thoughts. Aureila looked down at the Gryffindor.

A look of surprise crossed Katie's face. She hadn't thought of Aureila having her own broom with her. Katie mounted her broom, and was next to the other girl in no time.
Hovering next to her, she asked. "So,is it because of your rule breaking, that you're not on the team?"
