The sky was black and rain was pouring down in sheets. Lightning lit up the sky so bright that you would read and thunder so loud you needed earmuffs. But Riley didn't care, she was in her happy place. She was imagining her muggle iPod, and the drum beats in her head came alive as she moved her hands to the beat of songs that weren't playing. She was soaked from head to toe, but she knew that all she had to do was change into her pajamas and cuddle by the fire in the common room and she would be a okay. An exceptionally loud bang of thunder shook Riley out of her music wonderland. Her hands fell to her sides and she looked around like they do in horror movies but nothing was going to scare her. Riley was just at home in thunderstorms as she is under the stars or in a drum shop. But something was kept giving her the chills and it got under her skin. She tried to shake it off and sit by the lake, watching the rain drops hit the glassy surface. She slowly felt calm again as lightning streaked across the sky, but there was still the small little voice in her head that kept telling her to watch out, that something was coming, or someone.

Zoe was dressed all in black, from her head to her feet. Starting with a new drenched, hooded black cloak. She looked like the grim reaper, a representation of death, and that was what she had been going for when she got dressed in the morning. It had looked like a storm was coming, and dressed in black there was less chance of being caught. She had been meaning to go out to the forest for a walk, but she didn’t like it very much after an incident she had gone through with a friend and some spiders. Now she walked along the edge of the trees surrounding the Black Lake.
She had been curiously watching a girl for a while. The girl seemed to be in some sort of trance. This intrigued Zoe, and she walked toward the girl, always being careful to stay in the shadows. When a particularly loud thunder struck, Zoe saw the girl come out of her trance and look around her. Walking slowly, and carefully, Zoe got closer to her, but then the girl sat near the lake. To walk up to the girl, meant that she would be in plain site, and that wasn’t what she wanted. Slowly, she grabbed a small rock and threw it at the lake, but landed somewhere near the lake.

The drum beats ended all together with the sound of a rock near her. Riley literally almost jumped into the freezing cold lake water. She thought she was completely alone in the rain... Not many people come out into a storm like this one. "Hello?" She called out, not really expecting someone to answer her but the hair on the back of her neck still stood as if someone would. Riley looked around as a large flash of lightning shook the sky and still didn't see anybody. Well... It is Hogwarts and there's ghosts here, so maybe it could be a prank. She tried to calm herself and get the music in her head rolling again, but it didn't work out too well. The rhythm just wouldn't come. She looked around again, but still not seeing anything, Riley took a deep breath and stood tried to calm herself by singing.
