It was raining.
What a way to put it bluntly.
But it was.
It was only a slight drizzle, but that was enough for the students (the female population, anyway) to run inside screaming about how they had just had a shower or how they had just this minute pained their nails.
But Kay didn’t care. It took a lot more then a slight drop of rain to make her run inside. She didn’t feel like noise today. Then again, she wasn’t the one to talk when she was standing by a waterfall. The roaring sound was deafening, yet in more ways then one it calmed Kay. The waterfall has always been fascinating to her, ever since first year, six years ago. She was going to miss Beauxbatons. Her friends, some teachers, and maybe even the way that you could always find a new way around the school if you tried –even if it made you an twenty minutes late to a lesson-.
It scared her slightly, that sooner or later she would be alone in the world, with no school to guide her. Her teachers were always comforting, but wasn’t that what they got paid for? They comforted the students, then that set moved on to graduate, they comforted the next set, they moved on, and it was like that, for however many years it took them until they realised they were bored, or any other excuse.
Of course, a few teachers truly liked it at Beauxbatons, they were merry, liked the students, and loved the general scenery, but of course they never admitted to it.
Slowly she sat down, leaning back and looking at the sky. She didn't want to leave school, but at the same time she did. But she had months to go. But time passed so quickly. She sighed again, her robes getting wet on the damp grass, the rain falling on her face, spitting at her from the clouds. She yawned, closing her eyes. She knew she couldn't fall asleep, that would make her soaked. A low rumble echoed across the sky. It was going to turn into much more then a 'slight drizzle'. Standing up she looked around, looking for shelter. She didn't find any, except the rocks making a small cave. She ran, covering her head with her arms and slipping inside. It was tiny, but enough. She hunched up, shaking with cold. Why didn't she just go back inside? She heard another thunderclap, this time she expected it. With a slight smile she realised her friends would wonder where she had got to.
She took her wand out.
"Lumos."
Bright light filled the damp cave, so Kay could see every detail. The walls had cracks in, and she hoped that the water from the waterfall didn't manage to come through. She wrapped her clock around her and laughed, her laugh echoing and bouncing off the walls, what had she got herself into this time?
