Snippet #2071030

Lacey leaned the wall of the carriage, her back to the window. A small cat with thick black fur, striking emerald eyes, and a short stub tail sat in her arms. At her side stood Jason Vail, her best friend. People often thought they where dating, simply because of how close they where. Quite honestly she had always had a crush him but didn't want to say anything and mess up what they had. Anyways, she loved being his friend.

As the carriage came closer to Hogwarts, she pulled her blonde hair into a loose ponytail, allowing a few stubborn strands to hand by her face. She looked like the stereotypical Beauxbaton student with her fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. But this fact annoyed her to no end. Lace was quite on edge- her eyes kept flicking to the windows and each time she saw no sign of the school. When she looked down and saw the where over water. She tensed up and turned away from the window, glancing at her friend for support.


As the carriage came to a gentle stop and students poured out, she hung back a little until the crowd thinned out a bit. being in large crowds had always made her rather nervous. Lacey stepped out of the carriage, and looked over Hogwarts. It looked quite. . . . gloomy. She glanced at Jason with a half smile. "What a bright, welcoming place."
Out of the corner of her eye she saw one of the winged horses paw at the ground nervously. With a gentle smile, she shifted Liam to one of her arms and gave the horse a soft stroke. She had always had a soft spot for animals.

Turning back to her friend, she smiled. Liam -who was clearly unhappy with the lack of attention her was getting- meowed loudly and looked up Lacey expectantly. Chuckling softly, she softly stroked her cat who purred cotently. "You are so needy." Lacey laughed as he wagged his stub of a tail as though he was a dog.
