"Rani's books are wet, it's a shame she doesn't have friends yet!! Ah, hahahaha!!" Peeves flew around Rani's head laughing hysterically and throwing water balloons at her. Rani looked up at him and glared. Peeves flew away, still laughing and leaving Rani aggravated. 'Great, the one time I want to make friends, and I am soaked! Not to mention I'm sure people heard that stupid rhyme, and I probably look like something the cat dragged in! Where does Peeves get water balloons anyway?!' Rani's thoughts zoomed around her mind as she tried to dry her books off to the best of her ability. She wasn't thinking of using magic right now, she was humiliated. Rani pushed her short, black hair out of her green eyes and attempted to smile as kids walked by.

Micira, who had been taking a nap in the courtyard, sat bolt upright, hearing Peeves' obnoxious voice. A mischievous grin spread across her face as she heard the awful little rhyme and she knew almost immediately what must be done. Her superego was telling her to leave, but she thought it not the best time to start listening to the little angel on her shoulder. She lifted herself off of the stone bench she was on and followed Rani loudly, she obviously wanted her to know that she was right behind her.
"Oy, I've seen you before. Fifth year, aren't you?" Micira said with a smirk playing on her lips.

Rani looked up to the girl speaking to her and stopped situating her books.
"Y-yeah, I'm a fifth-year..." Rani looked to her side halfway through her reply and froze. The look on the girl's face was not a friendly one.

"And you still don't have any friends?" Micira asked, raising her eyebrow. "Not even that weird Ravenclaw boy, Clearwater? It's like you two were made for each other!" She chuckled and folded her arms, almost in victory. She hated Ace. Not only was he smart and silly, but he was an excellent Quidditch player, and often gave her Gryffindor team a good competition. Besides that, he rooted for the Appleby Arrows, the rival team of her favorite, the Wimbourne Wasps... Yes, she did not like him one bit. She would gladly tell him herself but she knew it would only end up in a trip to the Hospital Wing. If it was one thing either of them cared about, it was Quidditch.

"Well, you're the first person to actually risk being seen with me. Unless of course you are here to do precisely the same thing every other child here does to me, and even some ghosts. See if I care. " Rani mumbled, still looking down. She was trying to pick up her books now, though.
After she collected her books, Rani stood up and looked the Gryffindor girl and waited or the usual laugh in her face.

Micira flicked her wand and all of the books flew out of Rani's arms. A couple books actually tore in half. She doubled over in laughter and had to catch her breathe as the poor Ravenclaw girl was picking up her books.
"Oops, sorry! I was actually trying to help, honest. Here, I can help you some more." She moved forward, raising her wand. She was preparing to extremely embarrass Rani beyond her wildest dreams.

"You leave her alone..." Aria snarled from behind Micira. She had her wand pointed right at her. She had been walking through to go to her Common Room and saw what was happening. She couldn't let it continue any longer. "If you dare hurt her, you'll regret it, you...you Gryffindor scum." She looked at Micira with a disgusted expression, and without caring she kneeled down beside Rani and helped pick up her books. She occasionally put them back together.
She wondered why Rani didn't fight back. If anybody, especially a Gryffindor had treated her in such a way, she would do everything in her power to make that living soul as tormented as possible. She looked so pure and innocent, and she just wanted to help her out. After all, she was a loner and an outcast just like her.

Rani looked from The Gryffindor girl to the Slytherin girl, something was seriously mixed up. ' It's normally the Slytherin people who make fun of me and the..well, I guess no one has really helped me out before... '
"Erm, thanks...uhh..Hello, I'm Rani" Rani finished picking her books up and held out her free hand to the Slytherin girl. Maybe should could do this, maybe she wouldn't freeze this time.

Micira glared at the two of them, thinking of how odd the image looked. A Slytherin actually helping someone? It was almost laughable if it hadn't ruined her plans of destroying Rani's spirit.
"Who do you think you are??" She asked forcibly. She was more nerved by the fact that they just ignored her, introducing each other as if in the Great Hall or in a class. "OY! I'm talking to you! I was having a little fun here and you go and ruin it!"

While ignoring Micira, she shook Rani's hand and attempted a smile. "I'm Aria. I'm pleased to meet you." Her feeble smile faded at what Micira said. She stood up fully, towering over Micira menacingly.
"You think this is fun? You think this is amusing...?" She gritted her teeth. She hated when people were picked on. It reminded her too much of her past, present, and most likely future. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size? Oh wait...That would only qualify goblins and garden knomes and I'm sure they could easily beat you."

Rani tried to hide her chuckle, even though the joke didn't make a lot of sense. Rani was only about an inch taller than Micira, if that. It was very amusing watching the look on Micira's face, especially because Aria was so tall. It was kind of like cat and dog chases. 'Good thing the dog always wins.. For the first time since her mother's death, Rani smiled like crazy....inside of course. That wouldn't be so amusing if Micira saw her smiling and laughing at her.

His stomach was satisfied and the onslaught of the rain made Ace have the sudden urge to travel the grounds. He arrived past the corridor leading to the grand staircase and happened upon the courtyard.
“Oh put that wand down Aria, you’re not going to hurt anybody with it.” He made a rather unconventional entrance before greeting Aria with a laugh
His eyes whirled around the courtyard at all the students, mainly Aria and the strange girl who he has seen in the past during. She was a ravenclaw, which was obvious and noticeable from her robes but he had never struck up a conversation with her before. He was not in the talkative mood but manners overrule personal agenda and he slowly reached out to greet her.

Micira's cheeks flushed with anger. Rani was almost as short as she was but there was an obvious difference, and she always hated how vertically challenged she was....it was bad enough that people had to remind her every single day! Even though she was barely 4'8'' she looked tall and fierce. And when she thought things could not get any worse, who else but Ace Clearwater appeared. Just as she raised with anger, she shrunk with bitter hatred and glared at him. She wanted desperately to take out her frustration on Ace, as he bent down and revealed his back to her, but even she wasn't that low. She only let out an over exaggerated, aggravated noise and plopped back down onto the bench she was lying on earlier.

Rani started to get a little bit nervous as more people were coming out in the courtyard. At first she wondered if Ace was as mean as Micira, but once she saw Micira's face, Rani was a bit relieved. She had seen Ace around before, he was in her house.... Rani never attempted to talk to him of course, that would probably not work.

"If it isn't Micira Blackfern, are you still acting like the royal twat you are." He laughed to himself before walking over and greeting her,
"I don't think I need an introduction, being one not accustomed to formalities."
He reached through his robes and revealed his weathered looking hand
“…. Though, the name is Ace Clearwater, quidditch extraordinaire for Ravenclaw!” Shouting first, he continued to mumble past the chatter from a group of first years, obviously his head had become so filled with thoughts of grandeur he was no longer within the courtyard. His attention was distracted, he had come back to reality before walking over and giving Rani a firm handshake, gazing not at her but past her towards the lake.
"I think I'd like to take a swim, but with these clouds I don't think I'll need to get into the lake to be wet." His voice seemed to linger within the courtyard before vanishing

Micira snorted at Ace. "Yeah...right. You pretend like you never lost a game. Extraordinaire is right. Extraodinarily good at making yourself look like a bloody fool." She rolled her eyes and leaned against her hand, looking up at the clouds boredly.
Although she would never admit it, Ace was a better Quidditch Player than she was. His Seeker skills were amazing and near fatal..although Micira would keep her fingers crossed for the final fatal move. Maybe a Wronski Feint gone horribly wrong. She smiled at the thought.

Rani took Ace's hand and shook it. "Yes, I remember seeing you around the common room." Rani replied. You are making friends..or at least aquantances... Rani's goal chewed at her thoughts. " My name is Rani, bookworm and laughing stock extraordinarie for Ravenclaw." She added, smiling for real this time.

"Oh excuse me; I was unaware of your talents with a broom. See unlike you I find myself ..." He stopped before walking past the group and began to shift his feet as if ready to break out in a rhythmic dance
"... I like the rain; it feels quite nice falling upon you, almost like it teases you with its own little dance." He began to sway his torso back and forth in the same pattern, mocking the way the tree's blow in a gust of wind

Aria raised an eyebrow. She still wasn't entirely used to Ace's random outbursts but she shrugged and nodded slowly. "I guess it feels nice.. but not in this time of the year. It's just miserable." She shuddered thinking about the previous day where he had sprayed her with freezing water. That wasn't as "nice" as he described it. Even snow sounded more appeasing then that.

Rani's hand slipped away from Ace's before she could really grasp it. She chuckled behind her hand as she watched Ace dance. She, too could feel a rythem in the falling drops of rain, but she wasn't about to make a bigger fool of herself. Micira would surely taunt her for it..or at least someone else would. Rani looked up at the clouds, days like these were her favorite. Suddenly, Rani didn't care that she was soaked anymore, or that some of her books were completely ruined, or even that she was next to people. She felt a sense of security she had never felt before. Her confidence grew greatly at that moment.

He was the shy, rather small looking boy that seemed to pop in and out of conversations yet few people were ever seen actually talking to him. He to found himself in the courtyard watching as the Ravenclaw seeker danced with imaginary objects. He let out a loud chuckle before covering his mouth with his left hand; he looked towards the ground as not to bring further attention to himself. Something made him get up and find himself asking the group of students to join them. Picking his best bet he decided upon the Ravenclaw girl, and nearly fell head over foot before finding himself directly in front of her,
“I, erm, I was wondering if I could sit here with you?” His shyness was apparent, and nothing could hide his awkwardness towards others

Rani looked up at Conner, surprised that so many people are talking to her from one taunt. She almost forgot that the boy asked her a question. Her face exploded with a 'hey!-wow!-Stupid!' look. "Oh, umm ..yeah sure, I don't see why not. " Rani took a seat on a near-by ledge and motioned for Conner to sit with her.

Micira, suddenly getting both annoyed and bored by the small talk of insignificance, she rose to her feet and pointed her wand at Rani again. She let out a laugh, declaring what she was doing. Suddenly a hand grasped her wrist, and twisted the wand out of her hand. She looked and to her amazement it was Aria. She looked fierce. "Didn't I tell you to leave her alone..?" She sneered between clenched teeth and without warning a fist slammed into her jaw and she fell backwards onto the ground. Micira held her nose, pinching it to stop the bleeding. She glared up at Aria and grabbed her wand from inches away.
"Incendio!" She shouted and a large gust of fire blew forth towards Aria and the others. She cast many spells after that, not caring who or what it hit.

"You there, you tried out for keeper for the Hufflepuff quidditch team." Ace stopped moving back and forth and started looking towards the Hufflepuff boy He smiled at him; something was interesting about the boy who before today Ace had known dirt better then the kids name.
He had blue eyes that seemed to enter your soul keep a firm grasp upon it, he was not sure what intrigued him to the boy but it was something. He was a slightly boney looking fifth year with brown hair that was neatly cut and looked quite easy to manage.
His eye was distracted by a trail of fire scurrying against the ground as if it had a mind of it's own. "Put that wand down now!" He dove behind the bench before rummaging through his robe to find his own wand.

Rani was on the ledge curled up, leaning on Conner and holding her bag up to her face for protection. Random bursts of fire were shooting everywhere. Rani assumed it was Micira causing that trouble, but it could be some other student. She really couldn't tel because her eyes were closed. With her free hand. Rani fumbled for her wand to cast a protection charm. ' Man. it's like a baby dragon was set free here...' Rani thought, making another joke at Micira's height if she was indeed the one doing this.
