Cyra had just finished the last lessons for the day and she didn't want to go meet her friends she wanted a bit of alone time. She had found that over the summer it looked like they all had started dating each other and she felt like a spare wheel around them lately. Cyra wasn't that hungry either so she thought she would take a wonder to the clock tower. She liked it up their she usually felt a lot of inspiration up their with all the views. She could see all the students on a hot day outside, it gave her doodle time too.
As Cyra climbed the stairs she looked through her bag, she hoped she had put her sketch pad in. Fumbling around in it she liked as she saw a glimpse of it. Giving herself a little bit of a hop in her step the last bit of the climb to the clock tower went quicker. It was quite with just the love clicking of the circuits and gears rotating turning the clock. She dropped her back and walked over to the window. Or at least that's what she called it more of an opening in the side of the wall to the outside. Even the grounds where a little quite today. Cyra let her eyes fall over all the land around the school. Sort of like in a move this would be the time where a handsome boy came along and she fell madly in love. Cyra dropped her head in that thought and a solemn look crossed her face. "Who was i kidding" she whispered to herself. Turning for her bag she sat on the floor still in the window and pulled her sketchpad out as she looked out over the forbidden forest and the lake. Maybe some inspiration would strike.

"No, I'm all right, I think I'll head inside for a bit before I join you guys outside. It's a bit too hot for me and I'd like to cool down, be by myself for a bit." Troy bid his friends good-bye with a raise of his hand and turned the opposite way down the corridor, as the remainder of the quartet that had just left Defense Against the Dark Arts headed towards the Entrance Hall to make their way to the grounds. They were all sixth-year Slytherins, loud and proud purebloods that had became friends for those very two reasons on the first day of their schooling. Two of them, Troy included, played Quidditch and were both Beaters for the four years they'd been on the team. Troy had gotten the position of Captain just this summer, but his friend had been supportive of it, instead of jealous, which Troy was grateful for. He first made his way to the dungeons, where the Slytherin Common Room was, but when he stepped foot saw how many of his Housemates had the same idea as him; with such a crowd, he hastily withdrew before anyone could see him and catch him for conversation, then huffed and walked up the stairs again, hands shoved in his pockets, wondering where else could he go. There was one place he liked to go, although even if he didn't attend Muggle school Troy was aware that hot air rose, and the Clock Tower wasn't exactly the lowest place in the school; in fact, it was atop the highest floor of the Hogwarts castle. Although he could simply cast a Cooling Charm about him once he got up there. That was the wizard difference. With a shrug to himself, he climbed the stairs to the seventh floor and ambled to his destination. The hum of the gears and the clicking of the circuits made for a cheerful melody that calmed him, and he enjoyed the white noise far more than the rowdy conversation he was having with his friends, and the chaotic shouting that was going about in the Slytherin Common Room, as some of the residents must have been playing wizard chess. But his luck ran out when he arrived at the Clock Tower only to find someone there. A girl, sitting there with her sketchbook and peeking out the window. She was familiar, although facing away from him he could not make out her identity. But he had seen her during the Sorting Ceremony, all those years ago, and in some classes, so she must be in his year. Ravenclaw, judging by the color of her uniform's tie. She looked pretty, at least from this angle. Who knew. Her face could be hideous. The moment was quite picturesque: a quiet girl gazing outside the window, her frame illuminated by the sunlight. If her hair had been blonde and long, she could've been Rapunzel, trapped in a tall tower, waiting to let her braid down for a prince. Troy leaned against the doorframe of the Clock Tower, watching her for a minute as she in turn watched the activity outside. He wondered if his friends were out there, and if she was seeing them. "Or what exactly is she seeing, anyway?" he wondered aloud, not aware that he'd voiced his last thought. Words: 561 Tags: Cyra R. Hale

Saying Cyra was in her own world would be correct. She loved it up here it made her creative juices flow as she started to sketch in her sketchbook. If anyone would look through it could show a softer side to her. Her brains didn't get her into Ravenclaw it was her creative side. She glanced down at the grounds she loved being up high like this. She could see everyone but they may not be able to see her. She smiled bowing her head back into her book. She was lost in a sketch she was doing. She was sketching from memory a bird of some kind. She was sketching as thought it was in flight. Cyra was in her own world she hadn't even heard anyone come up the steps. Her hair shielding her face as she worked.
When she heard a voice she must have jumped a mile. Dropping her pencil in the process. Her head spun up and round that fast she got a sharp pain in her neck. “Ouch” She said putting a hand to her neck and looking at the person. Having time to get her bearings and everything she noticed he was a boy and in her year his face was familiar but for his name she had no clue. As she rubbed her neck “You can't be scaring a girl like that what if i was ready to jump… top myself “ She said a little angry about her neck more than anything else. She couldn't decide if him interrupting her quite time was a good or bad thing yet. However as long as it was a new face it could be good wouldn't you think? Cyra’s mind faced back at what he had actually said to make her jump. “Was you talking to me on your entrance or thinking out loud?” She asked one because with all the dram happening she couldn't quite catch what he had said and two he must be slightly mad if he was talking to himself. Though all the mad people are the funnest people to be around. Getting up from where she sat. She placed her book on the window sill or ledge whatever you would call it. “I wasn't expecting anyone else to be coming up here “ Cyra smiled fully looking the boy over he wasn't bad looking if she said so. It was true she had started noticing boys more the last year or so. It may have been because all her friends where pairing up or that was all her girl pals ever talked about but they had been rubbing off on her anyway.
“Where are my manners i haven't introduced myself..I'm Cyra” She hoped that this would prompt a reasons of knowing his name so she could put a name to a face. Expand her bubble if you could say that.

The girl turned her head, and too late Troy realized that he'd accidentally spoken his last thought out loud. Well, at least her face wasn't terrible, and he could see how some people would find her attractive. “You can't be scaring a girl like that what if i was ready to jump… top myself. Were you talking to me on your entrance or thinking out loud?” Sheepishly, Troy scratched the back of his head before standing straighter and looking apologetic. "No, sorry, I was talking to myself. Or thinking, but I evidently said it out loud. But, you know, what are you looking at?" He pointed to her sketchbook, still open, although he could see the beginnings of what looked like a bird on the page she was currently on. "I wasn't expecting anyone else to be coming up here." He shrugged and smirked a little. "I don't think there's ever a time you'd expect someone to just join you randomly, lest you scheduled a rendezvous ahead of time," he fired back, snark peaking through. Tone it down, he told himself strictly. She wasn't on familiar terms with him and he felt bad about teasing someone who looked as innocent as her. Most of his Slytherin friends liked to try and match wits, exchange fiery comments and comebacks just for the fun of it. They were rubbing off on him. She then introduced herself as Cyra, and he tilted his head. It sounded vaguely familiar, and it fitted her; some people looked like their names and she did indeed look like a Cyra. "Troy," he offered back. "Troy Kingston." He fingered the green-and-silver tie on his uniform, then gestured vaguely around the area, at the Clock Tower. Laughter was bubbling up from the grounds below, loud shouts piercing the warm air as students evidently chased each other around and roughhoused on the green lawns below them. There was a splash and perhaps someone had fallen into a lake. "You come here often? To draw? I like your bird." He pointed again to her sketch. Words: 344 Tags: Cyra R. Hale

If Cyra could raise one eyebrow the boy's first remark to her would have certainly made it raise. Was he trying to be smart? Her eyes wandered to the colours he was wearing and that made sense. However, at the same time, she hated reading people by the house they were in. They could be lovely people deep down. She always hoped they were anyway. “Nothing like an optimist Could be an adventure around every corner have you ever thought about it that way. ” She muttered at his comment about meeting her.
The name seemed familiar but she never ventured outside of her friendship group till last year so she could have known him all the time and not truly realise it. The way he added his last name sent to her that it should mean something. Though she purposely left her off. One she didn't want her sister being brought up that would put her in a foul mood or her brother. Though that was always a more fun conversation as he was cool and owned a cool bar in London. Shen was always trying to be seen for her no one else. A soft blush swept across her cheeks when he mentioned her sketchbook. She hardly ever let anyone seen her sketchbook it was like her diary. Her sketches where how she usually expressed herself. “I come up here when I need inspiration and time to think. So you could say yes.” She realised she was mumbling. Cyra paused picking up her book and closing it holding it to her leg. “I don't just come here to draw but it helps up here. Quite you know.” She said a little sheepish she didn't want to let him close that wasn't her thing. She kept a lot at arm's length. “Today's inspiration led to the start of a bird.” Glancing back down at her book as she flicked to the right page. Turning it around for him to see. Cyra didn't know if he would like to see it but he had brought it up. “So you have quizzed me, Mr Kingston, why are you up here on such a nice day?” She asked closing her book once again.
Cyra didn't mind that she had company for once. She actually enjoyed meeting people randomly it got her talking at least. If this was in a group she would be the quiet one listening to everything that was happening. That possibly be the reason she is the only single one in her group of her friends. She shook the thought from her mind she didn't need that to go through her head as she was up in the clock tower to get away from all that. “Not running away from our problems are we?” She asked.

Troy shrugged, hands in his pockets as he moved a little closer to her, away from the entrance. He could tell that she was retreating into some kind of shell, timid as she seemed. He couldn't catch the comments she was making, because she was muttering them, her voice muffled as if she were holding her hand over her mouth as she spoke. Deciding to pretend that her words held no merit and thus no need for response, he said, "yeah, it is pretty quiet. Except for, the gears and stuff in here, I guess. If that doesn't bother you." He shrugged again, feeling awkward because she was so awkward. Troy wasn't very good at making friends with shy people. Often, he was the shier one, and he felt bad about making smartass remarks to other shy individuals. At least she wasn't mad about him looking at her drawing. Some people made a big deal if you peeked at their work. “So you have quizzed me, Mr Kingston, why are you up here on such a nice day? Not running from our problems, are we?" The boy tried not to squint at the girl before him as his mind turned, trying to decipher the meaning between her words. Was she flirting with him or was that how she just talked to people? Either way, he was a bit bemused by her seeming turn of mood towards him and he wasn't sure if he liked it. "That's on you to assume," he said, giving her another small smirk. Well, he didn't exactly have any problems. The breakup with Gianna was still at the forefront of his mind, but it was far from an actual issue, now that the real trouble-- Gianna herself and the shitstorm she carried with her-- was out of his life. With a slight tip of his head he indicated the outdoors. "My friends are out there. Wanted to spent a bit of time by myself before I joined them for some chaos," he told her, turning his attention back to her again. "Although I suppose that's no longer possible, with you occupying my usual escape. If you don't mind the company, that is." Words: 366 Tags: Cyra R. Hale
