Opeila was frustrated. For hours she had been looking through potions and herbology books and it was wearing her out. There must be something in those books that might help her with the current situation at home. It was just a weird little spark of hope that must have gotten over her and again put the misleading thought in her mind that she could somehow find a cure. She had to keep a clear head. What she was doing right now was exhausting, stupid and self-destructive, not to mention hopeless. The Slytherin was still a forst year and she had never shown any interest in anything her mother was doing in the cellar. Partly that was because her father forbid her to, but also because she just didn't want to know what fascinated her mother so much that she would risk to die, despite she had a family. Now she regret it. Maybe she would have known what sort of mixture her mother took and then... No.
Opeila got up the table she had sat on and walked over to the window. The Slytherin exhaled. No if, when and would. That would only depress her and not help as well.
She had to stop looking through potions books whenever she found the time. No violin. No potions books.
She had realized that her violin pulled her down a lot. It was tempting not to put it down anymore once she held it in her hands, but that couldn't be. She would separate herself from society again, relive her past. Opeila had decided not to let that happen so she had wrapped the violin in a sheet anf put it under her bed. There she didn't see it all the time and could focus on the life she lived here.
That was important. Anything else she couldn't influence.
She smiled when snowflakes started to fall down the sky. It was winter. Another reason not to let herself put down. She should go outside and provoke a snowball fight! The thought made her chuckle a little.

May was running to the classroom. She needed her so famous 'time alone'. One thing that you should know about May is that she loves being alone. Especially when she is tired or, wants to study. This time, it was different. She wanted to write a letter to her dear parent's.
She hadn't written them a letter sense she had came to Hogwarts, so she wanted it to be perfect. They didn't even know in which house she was! Of course, she had to tell them what houses were, because they were Muggles, and May was a Muggle-born. But, she was sure that she had some wizarding blood inside her. When May entered the abandoned classroom, she slowly opened the classroom door. I hope here isn't anybody in here. Because if so, where could I go? she thought. But, there was someone. A Slytherin girl, it seemed, for she had the Slytherin colors all over her.
She stared at the girl for a second. She was with a pile of books in front of her.
''Oh, um, hi. I guess I should go somewhere else, or...Never mind, I'll leave you alone...'' said May.
She heard the girl chuckle. Didn't she heard May? Oh, yes, May said everything in a quiet whisper. Maybe, the girl would be startled if she would see someone stare at her.

Opeila now had convinced herself to actually do something fun outside in the snow. Like she had with her Dad when she was younger! They used to build snowmen almost as tall as her dad. Opeila hadn't been able to lift the snowballs anymore when they were big enough. And they had always decorated them in funny ways. There had been a rugby player snowman, or a clow... the craziest had been a grim reaper snowman. Her father had taken all the decoration off just after Opeila had gone inside so the neighbours wouldn't be worried if they looked outside.
The only thing he wouldn't let her do, was to dress up a snowman like a wizard. That was the only reason why he had agreed to the grim reaper one.
Opeila still didn't know what that hide and seek game had been about. He must have known that she would find out someday. Had he seriously hoped, she wouldn't want to go to Hogwarts if he wouldn't let her get in touch with magic? Maybe she would have even been able to get a closer bond to her mother, a woman she hardly knew.
She exhaled. Enough of those thoughts! Time to enjoy winter.
Opeila turned around and froze when she saw a girl at the door. "Come in, if you want to.", she said smiling. "No need to stay out."

May was still waiting for the girl to reply to her, for running away wouldn't be polite enough. She just waited there, at the door, looking one or two times at her Charms book.
When at last the Slytherin girl replied, May was startled, for she was very tired, and didn't expect a fast reply. ''Come in if you want to'' said thy, smiling. "No need to stay out."
May did like the idea of making a new friend. But, she wanted to study too, so she came to the fact that she was going to study with the girl, and maybe they would become fast friends!
''Oh, um thank you'' replied May, smiling. ''I hope you don't mind, for I very much like this quiet classroom''.
May opened the book on her lap, and looked at the girl. She seemed to be seeing through the snowy window, thinking about something. Maybe she wanted to do something more fun than study. At the look of deep thinking, May decided to start a conversation.
''My name is May, May Moonstar, First year Hufflepuff'' she said polietly. She hoped that the girl would have more fun, for, making new friends was fun, for May after all.

The girl smiled at Opeila and came in. She told the Slytherin that she liked the classroom.
"So do I. I mean, there is a study room, but I feel like it is still too loud to concentrate. Especially when you have problems concentrating anyway.
And if I'd mind you'd know by now.", she answered, winking at the other girl. It was a good day to talk to Opeila. A few days before she would have probably been very rude to everyone wanting to make friwnds with her. Yes, Opeila had learned her lesson about making friends and about trusting people to fast. She would be more careful in the future.
The other girl introduced herself. She seemed very kind, what wasn't surprising, as she was a Hufflepuff. Still, Opeila was more suspicious then ever regarding kindness. She would return the kindness, but she wouldn't just drop her protection.
"Nice to meet you, Moonstar. Opeila Seilun, first year Slytherin."
Opeila walked back to the table her book layed on, picked it up, sat on the table and put the book back down on the table next to her. "So are you here to study?", she asked the Hufflepuff.
She seemed to meet so many different people lately...

"So do I. I mean, there is a study room, but I feel like it is still too loud to concentrate. Especially when you have problems concentrating anyway. And if I'd mind you'd know by now.", replied the girl, still not knowing her name, May nodded to her and continued with her book.
When May told the girl her name, she replied, quite polietly. "Nice to meet you, Moonstar. Opeila Seilun, first year Slytherin." she said. ''Well, nice to meet you Opeila, and what a beautiful name.'' said May. Yes, she did like that name. Unusual, but beautiful. She smiled to Opeila, and kept reading.
After what was like 20 minutes, May finished her homework, and was already to bored to keep studying. She wondered if er new friend would ike to go with her outside, to play with the snow. Yes, maybe you would think that they were in a school, and that wasn't a place to play in the snow, but May didn't actually think that. The snow was cold, but perfect to do a snowman and play in the snow... But she didn't know what Opeila would say... Never minding her thoughts, May asked the girl, ''Would you want to go outside and play in the snow? I seems very good today...'' she asked, and waited for her answer.

Opeila smiled when the Hufflepuff told her that she found the name Opeila beautiful. "My parents have a thing for extraordinary names. It depends on your taste, I guess. My name seems to be so hard, that many people call me Opelia though. But thank you."
Then May started to study and Opeila decided to give it one more try, this time quieter.
Wispering she moved her wand, but after a while, she just put it down and started to just read instead.
The presence of another person didn't actually help her to concentrate though, and soon she just looked out of the window and watch some Gryffindors, who were throwing snowball at each other. They were definitly enjoying themselves, she thought, a little smile on her face.
Another ten minutes she tried to focus on her charms book, and finally she managed to concentrate for a while. She realized, that she was far behind in charms. That would be a lot of work to catch up the next weekends...
Then May suggested to go outside and enjoy the snow. Opeila smiled at the other girl. "That is exactly, what I was thinking." She closed her book. "Then let's go!"
