Hope looked up in the sky, seeing Baragin, and smiled. "It would make sense, if he was a knight." She said, more to herself than Lisanne. However, she looked down, smiling at the girl, listening to the description of Arwen.
"She sounds like a real cutie, even if she does have a pirate characteristics." She chuckled, "Maybe one day i can see her?"

"Maybe," Lisanne said happily. She felt that she had just made a new friend, and her head was filled with all kinds of ideas for things they could do. The term would be ending soon, and then it would be summer time. She would get to go home and see Arwen, and maybe it would be possible to have her new friend over for a week or two. Her grandmother wouldn't mind... in fact, Lisanne wasn't sure that she'd even notice.
"Maybe you could come to my house and see her some time. I live with my grandmother in a big house near a lake. She spends all her time in the garden, so it gets kind of lonely. That's why I have Frodo and Arwen."

Hope blinked a bit, "You... really mean it?" Hope asked, almost confused. She wasn't use to people wanting to become friends with her, let alone letting her come over to their houses over the summer. Anything would be better than her grandfathers place. She smiled, "Of course, I'm sure my grandfather won't mind." And sadly, that was the truth.
"I kinda know what that's like, lonely and all. My grandfather keeps himself in his study nearly all day." She said, letting some of her background out.

"Of course I do!" Lisanne said, beaming. Yes, she had just met this girl, and she didn't really know her very well. But Lisanne generally was a pretty good judge of character, and she could tell when someone was trustworthy. She liked Hope, and she had a sense about her. Maybe some people thought the idea of a Slytherin and a Hufflepuff being friends was a strange thing, but stranger things had happened before.
"I could write to my grandmother and make sure it's OK, but I'm really sure she won't mind. She's really nice and all, but she really likes plants better than people. Of course, I like animals better than most people, so I can understand, I guess. Still.... it's nice to actually have someone to talk to who can talk back."

For the first time in a while, Hope had a true smile on her face. Granted, she knew little to nothing about Lisanne, but still. Someone wanted to talk to her, listen to her, get to know her, actually care that she was a living, breathing being. She was extremely over joyed at the moment. "My grandfather won't care." She replied, never loosing her smile, and chuckled at Lisannes last statement, "I know that feeling." She said, nodding to Soran, "He's a great listener and all, but sadly i can't understand when he whines back."

It wasn't that Lisanne had trouble making friends, but she didn't have any really close friends. Some of the other Hufflepuffs thought she was a little strange. And she had never even thought to make friends with a Slytherin, and yet, now that she was talking to Hope, it seemed about as natural as could be. They weren't really all that different after all, and Lisanne decided from now on, she was never going to avoid anyone just because of the house they were in. The different houses didn't really mean much, after all.
"I'll write to her as soon as I get back to the castle," she said. "Maybe we could hang out around the school sometimes, too? I mean, if your other house members wouldn't be too mean about it, that is.... Or we could go to Hogsmeade together on the next trip. I usually end up going alone, and it's just no fun."

Hope slowly became excited, she had been so use to being alone, no one wanted to talk to her, that she was excited that Lisanne wanted to not only talk to her, but would like to even hang out with her. She smiled, "of course!" She exclaimed, smiling, "I mean, my house mates really don't notice me much, i'm usually in my own little corner, studying or reading, they don't notice me often. And i'd love to have someone to travel with to Hogsmeade, it does getting boring when you're alone." She said smiling.
"What classes do you take?" Hope asked, curious.

Lisanne was glad that she had decided to walk into the forest today. She might not have found unicorns or fairies, but she found something just as rare and special--a friend. It was better, actually, because a friend wouldn't fade away or disappear... at least, a good friend wouldn't.
"Hmm, let's see. I take Charms, Herbology, Astronomy, Defense.... Care of Magical Creatures, and Divination. Oh, and Dueling. I'm not very good at it, but my grandma said I should take it so I could learn how to defend myself."

Hope smiled, "Really? We probably have Astronomy, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures and Dueling together!" Hope said, excited. At least she would have someone she knew in most of her classes. "Charms isn't my things, but i have someone who said he'd help me out. And we can be dueling partners!" She said, smiling wide.
It was nice, to feel... excited. She hadn't been this excited since getting her Hogwarts letter. She figured that most of her life shouldn't be exciting since she... well, she shouldn't exist, as her grandfather reminded her countless of times. But that was besides the point, now she had someone that wanted to be friends with Hope, and wanted to even be friends with her during and off school. It was amazing!

Lisanne almost let out an excited squeal. This was what she had missed, the chance to have a best friend, someone to be silly with and talk about boys with. Not that Lisanne currently had any boys worth talking about in her life. But it was nice to know that if she did, she'd have someone to talk about it with.
And she'd have someone she could study with. Maybe she'd actually be able to concentrate. Or maybe it would devolve into giggles about boys and makeup and clothes or whatever it was that girls were supposed to talk about to each other. Either way, it all sounded good to Lisanne.
"We should study together," she said happily. "I've been panicking about that big test in Defense... it'll be nice to have someone to study with!"

Hope's smile grew. She was so use to just going from class to class, to her dorm or the library or even the Room of Requirment and studying by herself. It was lonely. No one to talk to, no one that wanted to talk to her, and certainly no one that wanted to study with her.
"Yes, i'd love that!" She said, trying to keep herself from being too excited, but Hope couldn't almost hide it. She was so use to being alone, she hated it. She wanted to have someone to talk to about anything, and Lisanne seemed like the girl that would listen and respond back, and she seemed to be an interesting character, Hope found that fascinating in itself.
"Have you ever been to the Room of Requirment Lisanne?" Hope asked, "I usually study there if it's packed in the library, and it makes a good hang out spot." She said.

Lisanne has always been more inclined to wander around outside of the castle than inside it. She knew just about every inch of the grounds, and some areas of the Forbidden Forest as well, but inside the castle she still sometimes had trouble finding her way to her classes. But she could hardly be blamed for that, since the staircases had that annoying tendency to move around.
"No, I've never heard of that room," she said, not entirely surprised that she had somehow missed the existence of a room for the whole five years she had been at Hogwarts. "Where is it? What's in it?"

Hope smiled. The only reason she knew of the room was because she had accidently stumbled upon it. "It's on the seventh floor. And the neatest thing is, whatever you want can be in it." She said, explaining, "See, you walk by the door three times, and tell the room what you need, and it gives you it. Like me, i always ask for a quiet place to study, and i always get an exact replica of my room at my grandfathers." She said, smiling.
Although she didn't really like living with her grandfather, she did love her room, it was her place to just relax and not have to worry about being scolded. "It's a really great place."

The idea of a secret room that could be anything you wanted it to be was completely fascinating to Lisanne. She could almost imagine herself going in and out of the room, trying to get it to turn into different things, although she probably would just make the room mad at her or something. But it made her wonder what other things she was missing in the castle.
"You must show it to me some time!" she said enthusiastically. "It sounds incredible... I've heard there were lot of secret rooms and passages in the castle, but I never knew where any of them were. Do you know of any other secret places in the castle?"

Hope smiled, "Of course I'll show you!" She said, with a larger smile. If it wasn't for Soran and Baragin, Hope would probably never come out of the castle. She knew the castle inside and out. At least she believed so.
She tugged on her hair, "I'd like to say that i know at least 90% of the castle, all the short cuts to get from one class to another that many know about." She said, before scratching her cheek, "I kinda get bored and explore the castle whenever i can..." She meekly confessed.

"Wow," Lisanne said, impressed. "I never really spend a lot of time in the castle. I found the kitchens on my own, but that's pretty much it. I always prefer to spend time outside... even in the winter, unless the snow's too deep. But I've been over every inch of the ground, and some of the forest. I'd go deeper, but I've heard there's a giant spider's nest or something in here somewhere... and I don't like spiders."
She shuddered slightly. Giant spiders pretty much sounded like the worst thing ever, as far as she was concerned. They were creepy enough when they were small.
"But if you ever want to go on a tour of the grounds, I could lead you. I found some cool caves over on the other side of the lake."

Hope thought for a moment. She really wasn't an out door type of person, but Lisanne was, so for her sake she'd go exploring and who knows? Maybe Hope would come to enjoy the outdoors just as much as Lisanne did. She smiled, "Yes, i'd love a tour! If it wasn't for Soran and Baragin I wouldn't even come outside, i feel.. rather vulnerable out here. But if you know the grounds better than i know the castle than i have complete trust in you." She said smiling.
"Besides, i didn't even know there were caves near the lake, you'll have to show them to me." She said, chuckling a bit, "Exploration is always an adventure, right? Rather you're alone or not, at least you either find new things or meet new people." She added.

They really made for a good balance as friends. Hope was a Slytherin, Lisanne was a Hufflepuff... rarely did the two ever mix. Hope liked the indoors, Lisanne liked the outdoors. So far they were opposites, and yet they had found common ground. Her father would have called it kismet, but Lisanne just thought it was an example of how life was something one could never predict.
"I always feel closed in when I'm inside the castle," Lisanne said. "I mean, it's big enough, but it's so old and drafty. But I'm sure it's fascinating, too... I can't wait to see this Room of Requirement. I can show you the grounds, and you can show me the secrets of the castle."

"Sounds like a deal to me!" Hope said, a smile on her face. She was glad she came out here today, she almost didn't think she would come out, the clouds had seem rather gray this morning, but not anymore. She was glad that Lisanne and her would become good friends, Hope needed friends, and she was sure that Lisanne wouldn't mind having another friend.
Hope glanced up, before walking over and sitting next to Soran, petting him lightly, "You know Lisanne, I didn't think i'd make any friends this year, i haven't the years before, but i'm glad you're gonna let me be one of your friends. You're an interesting character, i like your style of thinking." She smiled as she looked at Lisanne, "I wish more people thought like you."

Lisanne couldn't imagine how this girl hadn't made any friends before. Hope was friendly and interesting and fun to talk to. Maybe it was the fact that she was in Slytherin, which wasn't exactly the friendliest house. She was probably too nice, too interesting, too unaffected for most of their tastes. Not that Lisanne liked to stereotype, but she knew the stereotypes existed for a reason, however unfair it might be to generalize an entire house. And a lot of other students were much worse about their prejudices than Lisanne was, so they probably wouldn't dare to talk to a Slytherin, let alone make friends with one.
"That's because you hadn't met me," she said boldly. "But maybe this year is going to be different. Maybe I'm just the beginning, and soon you'll have so many friends you won't know what to do with them all."
