Rydell sat on the shore of the lake, wearing a pair of Tripp pants that had zip off legs, they were bright neon green and he had the legs lying next to him as he sat barefoot with his feet in the water.
He was staring out at the reflection of the stars on the lake daydreaming about the things he had done in the past and the things he was going to be responsible for in the future. The house elves had finally run out of the blood. and he was starting to look older and thinner than he had in the past

Twilight walked out onto the ground one night. She wanted to clear her head and so tough a few hours by the lake would just calm her down. Temps walked barefooted across the lush green grass and moved quietly towards the lake. It was cold and Twilight stuffed her hands into the pockets of her jeans.
As she approached the lake Twilight saw a figure and knew who it was. With a soft smile she crept up behind him as quietly as it was humanly possible. She moved herwarm hand out of her pocket and hugged her friend from behind. "What you doing out on your own?" she asked gently , moving to sit net to him. Twilight kept her feet on the shore not wanting to plunge them into the dark waters. |

Rydell felt the hug and jumped slightly before he recognized who it was behind him. "Just trying to keep the urge down." he said to her honestly. "I haven't been able to hide him that much." he added after. "So I decided it was time to come down here and think about what I could do to get rid of him." he said to her as he looked at her. "What about you?" he asked, "Why are you down here so late at night?" he asked her.
He moved slightly and wrapped his legs underneath him, not noticing the water on his feet as he looked at her, his eyes were no longer their normal color. They were a vibrant shade of red that ringed a deep purple. The moonlight bounced off of the lake to illuminate their faces as it came out from behind a cloud bank

Twilight nodded hearing his answer to her question. She understood that Rydell had to control his urge and it was probably a difficult job. She then looked at Rydell when he asked her. "Me? Just needed to clear my head of some stuff. And the commons and filled with people." Twilight explained to him simply. Even though she had planned on being alone, being here with Rydell was fine. They were friends and Ry was someone she didn't want to throw things at.
"I went out to Hogsmeade the other day. I bought you some blood pop though they probably are a pile of crap and don't mean anything. Thought it was worth a shot." Temps told hi. She lay back on the grass quietly, staring up at the stars that dotted the inky, velvet sky. She loved the stars. Such a wonderful natural beuauty that could not really be ruined by man. |

"Blood pops aren't a waste of time. Not to a vampire, they might taste like crap but they can hold us over if we are desperate enough." he said to her, "Thank you". Rydell looked away, "Yeah, the commons can be one of those places that drive you insane when you are trying to clear your head." he said to her, "Even the Ravenclaw commons are bad right now."

Twilight smiled glad to know her efforts had not gone to waste. "It's not problem. I told you I wanted to help. I'll owl them over to you later." she said to Rydell. "Mmmm, I just...I can't stand my housemates sometimes. You, Nigel and Louis are the only ones I want to talk to at the moment." temps said honestly. Those three were currently the one's who understood her. Nigel, possibly better than the other two, but the again Nigel knew everything about her and vice versa. |

Rydell looked at her, "Or you could just give them to a house elf, they could just deliver them instantly instead of the owl flying around the school looking for me first." he said to her, "Besides, I am pry going to be spending a lot of time here or in my room." he said. "At least until I can find a way to have blood delivered to the school again." he said to her as he smiled slightly.
He looked back at the lake and sighed, "I am pry going to have to ask the headmaster if there is anybody undercover at a human blood bank. See if I can't get some refrigerated blood sent here instead of somewhere else." he said aloud as he looked back at the stars. "Who are Nigel and Louis?" he asked suddenly he had heard her say the names but hadn't realized what it meant.

"Yeah tht probably is a better plan, isn't it." Twilight said. She catch one of the house elves on her way back to the common room and give him the blood pops.She listened to his plan and nodded. "I'm sure we have people working there." temps was almost certain that there had to be their kind working in places like that. "A chat with the Head should sort things out though even if we aren't working undercover he's bound to know where else to get it from."
"Nigel's a Ravenclaw. You've probably seen him around." Twilight said to Rydell. "He's one of my best mates. Knows every single thing about me. Can read me like an open book which is something I don't like sometimes. But the same goes for him, I can tell exactly what he's thinking." Twilight loved Nigel to bits. He was different and that made him more appealing to befirend than some of the others. She had had a small crush on him when they were growing up and it had faded before it blossomed onto...
"Louis. Well Louis's my..." Twilight thought for a moment. "I don't really know. We argue on a regular basis but I..." A smile crept to her face as she thought about him. Temps couldn't deny the fact that she was crusing on Louis Weasley. Not that she'd admit it because it would not be right. "We're rivals with a good understanding between us." That was a good way of putting it, so Twilight thought. "I'm surprised you haven't heard or seen one of our infamous spats." |

Rydell smiled as she told him who each of them were. He nodded when she told him that he had probably seen Nigel. He had seen him but hadn't really ever spoken to him. When she started talking about Louis though, Rydell felt the little green demon of jealousy come out. but he fought it back down. "That is good." he said to her, "And No I haven't seen your spats with him, I have been in my room when I am not in class." he said to her. "You were lucky to catch me down here." he said to her.
"I am glad that you are making more friends and have more friends then me." he said to her even though in the back of his head he had a voice saying She has a boyfriend......Great he ignored it. "Sounds like you are having fun now a days though." he said to her.

"You're probably one of the only people in the castle that hasn't." Twilight said with a small chuckle. She turned her head to look at Rydell. "I've known Nigel since first year... I wouldn't really call Louis a friend." Twilight said to Rydell. "i could introduce you to Nigel if you want. I mean, I think you two would get along well." Twilight didn't want Rydell to think she was blossoming socially and would just forget him. "Louis just happens to be at the right place at the right time...or wrong place...depends."
Her smile faded as Rydel spoke about her having fun. "No, not really Rydell." Twilight sat up slowly. She gotten out of the castle to forget about it but the simple comment had made her remember. How could sh have fun when that played on her mind 24/7. |

He dismissed her offer to introduce him to Nigel. "I don't really want to meet the guy honestly." he said to her as he thought about it. "But I do want to meet Louis" he said to her as he thought about things.
Rydell looked at her, "What's happened?" he asked her as the green monster inside went silent. "Why aren't you having fun. Do I have to hurt someone?" he asked jokingly. He wanted her to have fun but if she wasn't he wanted to find out why.

"Oh well, ok." she said to Rydell. "hmm, that's gonna be a little difficult. But we could probably ambush him in a corridor. Louis get's on with almost everyone so you won't have a problem there." Twilight explained. How was she going to get Louis and Rydell to meet after all she wasn't best mates with Louis, even if they were talking civilly these days. "Anyways why'd you want to meet Louis and not Nige?" she asked him curiously.
Twilight's focus lay on the lake before explaining, "My father passed away a few days ago so fun has not been on the top of my list." She sighed, "I just finished sorting out funeral arrangements which is why I came out here to clear my head." Temps tore her gaze from the lake to Rydell. "So no, you don't have to hurt anyone. Well it's no one we could hurt anyways." |

"I can meet Nigel anytime I would like to by just talking to him in the commons." he said to her, "I doubt I would be able to talk to Louis on my own" he said to her as he smiled. When he heard what had happened the smile slid from his face. "I'm Sorry" he said to her, "I didn't know." he added.
He looked out at the lake and sighed, resolving himself to finding out things faster so he wouldn't bring up painful memories for anyone anymore.

Twilight shugged and pulled her knees up. She hugged them to ther chest and rested her chin on top. "It's not you're fault." Twilight said. "Things happen I guess." twilight sighed. "I just feel lucky to have you three around. You and Louis are the only ones that know. Louis was there when I got the news. I haven't been able to talk to Nige since I've been busy sorting everything out." |
