Lesley had woken up. it was early enough for her to get ready and eat breakfast. Lesley has always been waking up later and later, causing her to be late for everything. Lesley put on her gryffindor uniform and she grabbed athe books she needed for today.
Heading into the great hall, Lesley sighed. she sat by herself and remembered all the good times she has had in here with her friends. Now that they were all gone, Lesley had thought she needed to make new friends. That was easier said than done though, with everyone knowing she was half werewolf. Lesley took a sip from her orange juice and she didnt bother to eat anything else.
After her classes, Lesley walked out onto the lawns. it was a beautiful, sunny day out and the breeze felt nice running through her reddish dirty blonde hair. Lesley took her gryffindor robe off, leaving the white shirt and tie showing. shse reached into her bag and pulled out the book she had been reading. Lesley laid down on her stomach to read. She mostly ignored everyone else around her, not even bothering to look up.

Isabella couldn't sleep, once she had woke it, it was next to impossible for her to get back to sleep again. With a sigh she pulled herself out of bed, the sooner she got out of this school the better. It wasn't because she didn't like the school, she loved attending Hogwarts. No the sooner she got out of school she wouldn't have to pretend to agree with everything her two cousin's said. Isabella got along with Demi and Damian because she had to, she didn't agree with half the things they did or said, yes she didn't like muggleborns but she didn't think they should have to die just because of who they were born to. Isabella wasn't just your average slytherin, she had her own thoughts and ideas, the sorted hat had very nearly put her in Ravenclaw. But she had the name of Lestrange to hold and she wasn't about to 'let the family down'. She knew how to act the part, and she played it well, it was only occasionally that the masked slipped and she let someone see what she was really like. She could never show another slytherin what she was like though, that would never do.
Pulling on her uniform and dragged a brush though her hair before she tied it up into a loose bobble. She had paid attention in her classes that day, they were easy, simple, just going over some of the things they had learnt last year before they moved on, so by the time the bell went she was glad to get out into the sunshine, she had took a detour just so she didn't bump into Demi, the castle was big enough that she could avoid her for a few days if she was lucky. Unfortuately, trying to avoid her cousin also meant that she wasn't watching when she was going and she ended up tripping up over Lesley's feet. Landing on the ground with a thud. "Ouch... sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." She said as she tried to sort herself out. Typical, everyone in her year knew how clumsy she was.

Lesley was caught up in the romance of Westley and Buttercup when she had felt some one fall over her feet. looking over really fast, Lesley felt bad. "no, its my fault. I shouldnt be sitting like that." Lesley apologized as she sat up completely to look at the girl who fell over her. She reconized the girl as Isabella Lestrange. Lesley sat there staring at her. she didnt know what to say to her. Lesley hated the girls cousin, but never actually met Isabella.
"I guess we both need to be a bit more careful." Lesley smiled. Just because Lesley hated the girls cousin doesnt mean she has to hate Isabella. she also knew she couldnt be mean to anyone really.

"Well I'm a walking hazzard, its why I stay away from the quidditch pitch its safer for me and everyone else that way." She said with a small smile, "I'm Isabella, I don't think we've properly met." So because of the whole slytherin/gryffindor thing - they shouldn't even be this civil to each other. She hated to think what Demi, Damian or Draco would say if they saw her talking to a gryffindor like this but at the moment she couldn't care less she just wanted a bit of peace.
"What?" She asked as Lesley stared at her, Issy guessed that it had something to do with the fact that she was a Lestrange and had two evil cousins that Issy was expected to act the same way. "I take it you've ran into my wicked witch of the west cousin a few times?"

"dont worry. I can be exactly like that too." Lesley laughed to statement. "My name is Lesley Parker, but most of the slytherins know me as Loony Loopy Lupin's daughter or the werewolf's daughter." Lesley sighed. she didnt like the names they were calling her father, and her. she only glared when some one calls her that. Lesley never fought any one or said anything in return.
"plenty of times." Lesley answered Isabella. "Your different though. You havent yet called me a name or said anything nasty to me."

"Oh I think Demi thought of Loony Loopy Lupin's daughter... not that she can talk she knows a few werewolves herself." She said with a shrug. "Demi's just a nasty piece of work. Taken after her mother too much.... I tend to avoid aunt Bellatrix and Demi and Damian if I can help it. I don't like and I don't agree with the things they do and what they say, I'm just good at acting like I do." She sighed.
"Oh yeah I would be a huge disappointment if any of them saw me now. Gryffindor's and slytherin's aren't meant to get along. And a Lestrange is definitely not meant to be nice." She tucked some of her hair behind her ear that had fallen down out of her bobble. "I'm not like my cousins or any other slytherins actually.... well the sorting hat did say I should be in Ravenclaw. I begged it to put my in slytherin - so I didn't 'let the family down'."

Lesley shook her head. "not true. Loony Loopy Lupin is what Peeves called my father while he was in school." Lesley listened to the rest of what she had said. "I try to stay away from your cousins as much as possible as well."
"I wouldnt let my family down too." Lesley smiled. "It doesnt really matter. I dont care that you a slytherin and i am a gryffindor. What i can say is that i have a friend in Slytherin now." Lesley chuckled. Isabella was really nice. Lesley would love to consider her a friend.

"Well they're taking credit for it." She shrugged her shoulders, Issy tried to think of something that was nice about her cousins but apart from the fact that they were fiercely loyal when it came to family there wasn't anything nice to say about them. "Its nice to be myself around someone, not having to pretend all the time. Its exhausting trying to be someone I'm not."
She sat up a little straighter as she pulled her hair out of her bobble and shook it loose. She hated having her hair tied up. "A friend who's a gryffindor.... never thought I would say that." She said with a smile, but Isabella still liked to consider Lesley a friend, even if they had to keep their friendship a secret.

Lesley laughed. "i bet they would." She sighed. She thought it must be hard to do something like what Isabella was doing. If she was in her place, Lesley knew she wouldnt be able to last. Lesley looked at her when she started talking again. "It must suck. I knew i wouldnt last a minute in your shoes." Lesley smiled.
"I would just love it if there were no houses and everything wasnt a competition with one another. than some one kinda like us could make friends in different houses with out fighting." Lesley only thought about it. she knew then that it would never work.

"It really sucks, my mums not that bad but my dad..... I mean don't get me wrong I love my dad but some of the things he's done." He was a trusted deatheater, he helped torture frank and alice longbottom into insanity. Isabella could barely look neville in the eye, but Demi or she took great pleasure in reminding neville of what happened everyday.
"Still wouldn't be that easy." She said weakly. "Imagine Demi making friends with anyone less than a pureblood?.... theres more chance that hell will freeze over." She sighed "I'm really sick of my messed up family..."

Lesley sighed. she then said "another subject, what do you like to do in your free time, like Hobbies?" Lesley asked her. She really didnt want to talk about families anymore. she knew it wasnt anyone's fault, which family you are born into.
"i know, any slytherin for that matter." Lesley replied leaning back, and putting her book in her bag. Lesley looked up at the sky. the sun kept disappearing in clouds and that was when the breeze really picked up. Lesley loved days like this, when it wasnt too sunny, but it didnt look like it was going to rain.

"You mean apart from hiding from my cousins." She said with a grin. "No, I like shopping, hanging round with friends. Doing things that any other normal teenager does." She leaned back on the grass. "I'm a slytherin and I don't see a problem with being friends with a halfblood, i'll admit I'm not a fan of muggleborns, but I won't hold it against them and I don't believe they should be treated any different just because of their parents."
She rested her head against her bag. "What about you? theres got to more to you than what all the other slytherins say." She said as she side glanced at her.

"well, i love reading, one of my favorite things to do though is act, and sing. I also dance." Lesley smiled. That was basically all she really loved to do. "Of course i do like shopping and hanging with friends just like you." Lesley smiled. "I dont really care about blod status. you are what you are and no one should care." Lesley shrugged.

"I love reading too.... I love the classics. Some muggle authors are really good." Isabella had fallen in love with the books written by Jane Austen. "Blood status is stupid... it doesn't mean anything." She said with a sigh. "Course to some people, blood status is everything. I think there are a lot more important things, like friendship and trust." She looked up at the sky. "Wish the weather would make its mind up what its doing." It was supposed to be still sunny and still warm. Isabella wasn't a fan of winter.

"my favorite is Peter Pan, by J.M. Barry, but i love the princess bride and other books. My Aunts raised me as a muggle child so thats pretty much what i know." Lesley laughed to Isabella. "blood status means a lot to death eaters, thats why they are trying to stop muggle born children from becoming magical." Lesley shrugged. that was all she understood from the order meetings. she never paid attention to those. "I know. sometimes its warm and other times it is freezing."

"Oh believe me I have to listen to blood purity nonsense all day at home, and in the common room all the time..... I just nod and agree, its a hell of a lot easier." So she was taking the cowards way out, she could stand up to Demi and the others if she wanted to but she liked her life the way it was. The war didn't effect her, so there was going to be a few less muggleborns in the world - it didn't effect her - she didn't agree with it but why should she risk her life for something like that? Hey she wasn't a slytherin for nothing - she looked out for herself.
"I hate winter, prefer summer." She said with a smile. "and you can watch quidditch without getting soaked." Well she might be dangerous if she played quidditch herself - but she liked watching quidditch.

Lesley lsitened to all that Isabella said about the war and the blood statuses. She sighed. "I know that my father would fight even if i dont want him to. I probably wont though. Fighting isnt my thing." Lesley stated to Isabella. She cared greatly about her father and her friends and didnt want anything bad to happen to them. she knew she would do what ever she had to to keep them safe.
"I like Autumn. but yeah i prefer summer over winter. just too cold." Lesley laughed. she agreed to her statement about quidditch. "i could never play quidditch. i would fail."

"I tend to break up the fights instead of actually doing the fighting." She spent have her time breaking up arguments between Demi and the poor person she had chosen to fight with. "I'm better at defending myself than attacking someone." She had to be good at defending herself, she or her younger sister Coryn was usually the one's that Demi or Damian practiced hexes on. "My family is just plain evil."
"I would fall off the broom if I tried to play quidditch." She said with a smile, "If I was beater I would end up hitting myself with the bat, chaser, i would probably end up crashing into someone... Like I said, it would be safer for me and everyone else if I stayed well away from any sports."

“I am normally in the middle of the fights, ignoring what is going on.” Lesley was good at ignoring people. She had done it most of her life and she does it to almost every one who is bugging her or annoying her. “yeah, same here.” Lesley smiled to her. Lesley relaxed herself again. She didn’t say anything to Isabella about her family being plain evil.
“you and me both. I am so afraid of heights it isn’t funny.” Lesley smiled. “no I would faint first then fall.” She laughed. “If I was beater I would probably hit a teacher, or if I played quidditch in general I would crash into anything.”

"We should do something fun, Take our minds off the way the world is so messed up." She said with a small smile. "Oh and I know that we're friends now but if I'm around Demi or any other slytherin I can't be nice... I'm not ready to side against them yet." She said honestly. "Its easier to ignore everything thats going on." Not so easy to ignore Demi or Damian, they would bug you until you talked to them.
"I would faint... or crash into something. Which ever happened first." She said with a smile talking about quidditch.
