”Mornin’ Filch.” Kile McCormack said as he trekked through the castle corridors at 6:23 am. Filch looked up from what he was doing and gave the Hufflepuff boy a cock of his head and a confused expression, ”C’mon mate-” The boy said as he walked directly past him and then turned around so that he could talk to him as he was on his way forward still, ”I do this every morning.” He shrugged his shoulders, knowing that Filch probably should have become accustomed to Kile’s strange antics years ago. Turning around and continuing to walk forward, he could do nothing but smile happily to himself. He rounded the corner into the entrance hall and then made a b-line for the doors to the outside world. It was only when he reached them that he looked up the stairs behind him, to make sure that no one was watching him - for some reason, the boy had a feeling that someone had been staring at him...Just the same, with a shrug and a push forward, Kile was out onto the grounds where he felt most at home.

Kile threw his apple up into the air and then caught it with his other hand, smiling as he stepped out into the fresh air of the grounds. He reached up and stretched his arms into the sky, all at once, savoring the feeling of being awake at such an early hour. It was a beautiful November morning, if not a bit chilly. The sun hadn’t risen yet, and that was just the way that young Mr. McCormack liked it. He was an early riser, always had been. But not because he was a morning bird, but because he loved the sunrise. It was his favorite part of the day. The sun peaking over the world to bring a new day; it was a source of such great beauty.

Everything was still dark, no trickle of light peaking over the grounds yet and that was how Kile knew that he was right on time. If he had rolled out of bed any later, he would have missed it. Walking across the grounds, he caught a bit of a cold spot and stopped to pull on his Hufflepuff sweater, knowing that Novembers could get quite cold during this time of the season. Finally, he made it to his destination: The Black Lake. Kile sat down and felt instant relaxation flood his bones.

The dirty-blonde Hufflepuff boy sat next to the lake, staring out over the pristine waters that were before him, watching as the sunrise took over the sky. It was just beginning, the rich golds peaking over the horizon, starting to taint the sky with rose and purple. Using his left arm to prop himself up, he slid down to his elbow so that he would have a better view of the scene that was starting up before him. ‘Everyone should experience nature like this,’ He thought as he continued to watch the unraveling and breathtaking display of nature in front of him.

Chloe Salvino woke up at six in the morning, every morning, and she made the most out of her time. It was a stress release to be outside in the frigged air blowing off steam. Integra and Bellatrix had been at each others throats for a while now, and all Chloe wanted was for them to be friends once more. It was a pain in the ass to watch her two best friends fighting. Bluntly, it just pissed her off. Adjusting the laces on her trainers, Chloe stretched her back out for a moment and pulled down her shirt as she tossed on a zip-up hoodie. Jogging in the morning always made things much more tolerable through out the day, and knowing that she's already blown off some steam made it easier to handle the spats between Tegs and Bells.

Stopping at the stairs she looked down and spotted a Hufflepuff boy, she only recognized him because of Joram, but other than that she knew nothing about him. Leaning back for a moment to appear out of sight, Chloe waited until he was gone. "Cazzo, almost caught me." Under her breath the lean Slytherin girl rounded the corner and tromped down the stairs toward the large doors. Waving at Filch as she passed by him and outside. Quietly she turned a different direction that Kile, but ultimately they both had the same location in mind.

Darkness rolled over the grass of the lawn, but Chewy knew the layout just as well as she did her own bedroom back home. Bending down, she let her fingers touch the dampness of the grass stretching out her back and legs before she decided to start her rounds. Walking toward the Northern most accessible point of the lake she began. Sprinting at first for two minutes before she slowed down to jog. The sun was finally making its presence known by peaking over the horizon, this always brought her to stop.

Not realizing that she was standing next to a body that was laying in the grass. She adored the colors and the rays of light that exploded from over the mountain tops. Clasping her hands together she muttered a few words of thanks in Italian before continuing to look up at the sky. Normally Chloe wasn't this oblivious to other's around her, but the sight was enough to make anyone forget. Swallowing roughly she found herself leaning against a tree knocking a few drops of dew from the bare branches. "Fanculo! Every single time." Taking in a deep breath she brushed the drops from her arms and shoulders.

All of a sudden, Kile became hyper aware of the fact that someone was standing a few inches from his body. How was it possible that he hadn’t noticed until now? He immediately furrowed his brow, but made no movement to get up or to remove himself from the close proximity that he had now established with the girl that he could see out of his peripheral vision. He couldn’t observe much without blatantly turning around and looking at her and that didn’t seem like the smartest option yet. Especially since the sun was beginning its upwards path toward the sky. Trickling sun-rays onto the crests of the Black Lakes’ waves, it was a beautiful sight and was continuing to get better as the minutes past. He wasn’t even sure how long he had been sitting there, staring at the horizon until he realized that he could see her shadow on the ground next to him. Surely someone was going to have to say something soon, right?

”The views better from down here-” Kile said aloud, looking over slightly and catching a complete view of the girl that he had been observing a few seconds before. She was a Slytherin, that much was evident, but as for everything else? Nothing was really coming to mind. Kile was the kind of person that could go on for ages without recognizing someone; he didn’t necessarily interact with people as much as he should have. Instead, he found himself out by the lake on little excursions just like this one...absorbing and enjoying the beauty that nature had laid out before him. She had leaned against the nearby tree and was now attempting to brush off the tiny droplets of water that had met her skin.

”Funny, I thought I was alone.” He shrugged slightly and then went back to staring off into the distance, not bothering for an introduction. Kile was a strange creature - far too often he was lost in his own thoughts about the universe and nature...about the world in general. It made him an incredibly unique individual. He reached down and pulled at his trouser legs to make himself more comfortable and then turned back around to smile at the girl once again, ”Not that it matters really. Nature’s big enough to share.”

Chloe continued to brush off the droplets of water, but looked down quickly as a voice from under her spoke. Lucky that she had stopped when she did or else she would have continued her path and tripped over his legs. Smiling lightly she sat down next to him, not really caring the he was of a different house or possible blood status. Chloe just needed to stop and enjoy the sunrise before she continued on with her morning routine. "You're right it is." Taking in a breath as she stretched her legs out to keep the blood flowing.

"You and me both." The lake was quiet as the small morning waves lapped the shoreline. This was how it was meant to be, but the chaos that was instilled within Chewy's head was remarkable. It was amazing how she could stay so outwardly collect, yet her mind ran through hundreds of ways she could kill him with only the objects that surrounded them. That and her wand of course. Another deep breath and Chloe found her muscles easing from the work out.

She watched him play with his pants a little and nodded. "It's amazing how large it is, yet how small it can feel." Chloe looked up at the sky feeling the rays of morning sun upon her skin. For a moment she felt as though she were back in Italy, if Italy was cold, but here the sun felt the same and it was something she missed dearly. "I just think it's amazing that it looks so similar here as it does back home, it feels the same too. That is what I love about the sun, no matter where in the world you are it will always be the same." Her voice was quiet as she let her mind drift. Running was her vice, her drug of choice. It kept stress low and tensions at bay, she had one goal in mind and would not stop until she reached it.

He wasn’t surprised that she decided to sit down, after all, this was perhaps one of the most beautiful times to be on Hogwarts’ grounds. And after years of trying to find the perfect place to sit during the sunrise, he had finally come to the conclusion that the little patch of grass under the old tree was it. He listened intently to the sounds of the water lapping up against the shoreline and the rustle of the leaves above them, finding himself more and more relaxed by the scene that was unfolding.

Kile nodded along with her as she spoke about the sun feeling the same everywhere they went. It was a universal truth in his mind; nature was in general. No matter where you were in the world, if you could get outside and enjoy nature than everything seemed to reach equilibrium for him. The edges of his lips curled up in a slight smile, but the Hufflepuff boy continued to look out over the lake, instead of his random companion, ”Do you come out here often?” He inquired, watching as a small sparrow flew down toward the crest of the Black Lake’s waves. It touched the water with its delicate wings and then few back up again, obviously finding itself more interesting in the sky than the choppy waters.

Thinking hard about the world, the sunsets, the universe, Kile most ardently found himself lost in his brain again. At least until he looked over and examined her profile. She was pretty, but there was still no name that was coming to mind. He honestly wondered if it even mattered. Perhaps without names they couldn’t judge one another. Here they were just two individuals, enjoying the fleeting moment of beauty that was before them, ”Where’re you from? I'm from Doolin myself. Used to watching sunsets off the Moher.” He said after a beat of silence. He couldn’t help but wonder her place of origin. It was rare for him to find someone that had such views of nature and the world in which they lived.

It was pleasant to say the least. When Chloe wasn't surrounded by her own people she could be quite charming, but with a reputation to uphold, that was something she took to the heart. Most of the Slytherin students saw her for what she let on, but since no one cared to accompany her in her morning routine, it was the only time she was really able to be herself. Kile. She wasn't exactly aware of him to begin with, he was a good looking lad, but all she knew about him was the fact that he was not a pureblood. At least that was what Joram had clued her in on. "Every morning." Her voice was quiet, just so the pair could hear the music of the morning over their breathing and idle chatter.

"Not exactly this area, it depends on where I decide to stop for the day or how far I have left, but I'll never pass up a moment to watch this." Her eyes never left the heavens, instead she just relaxed next to the Hufflepuff. The pair of them could never be anything unfortunately, Chloe had been bred with the preconceived idea of purebloodism and that was the way she would stay, or at least until she got what she wanted. After that it was up in the air, she had spent her entire life training and working out to become the last person her father would ever see.

Tilting her head to the side as the boy spoke she smiled lightly pushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "Syracuse, it's on the island of Sicily. Italy." Chloe's words were a little broken. She didn't want to seem like she thought he was an idiot, which at this moment she had no sense of his intelligence, nor did she care. Right now it was just her and him, sitting under a tree while the sun climbed its way up into the sky. "Sorry, I'm not usually good at the talking thing. Normally do my own thing unless the girls are buzzing about, but they're all caught up in this stupid ass arranged marriage bullshit." Truth was that Chloe too was stuck in the middle of an arranged marriage that would never happen, ever. Sure their families were close and they had discussed it, but the more she thought about it there was nothing more she wanted to do than rip that prats head off. What made him so entitled to controlling a relationship's outcome? Chloe was the definition of an independent woman and she would love to keep it that way.
