Tempest sat on top of a hill, looking down at the wizardry town. She sighed deeply as she rested her head on her knees, her parents were off on another social gathering and forgot she was home from school to even let her know they were going to be gone. To much was going on in her life right now, being kicked out of her old school and her parents didnt even seem to care, "A cry for attention and they didnt even noticed." She thought to herself looking out at the cloudy sky, which seemed to express her emotions at the moment.

Darren was on another of his solitary walks, whistling merrily to himself as we strolled down the path leading up to the top of the hill. His mood was in stark contrast to the skies above, which were clouded and gray, blocking out the sun. He was in a good mood for he had just been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Along his way, he had spotted a solitary figure in the distance. It was a young girl, and she seemed distant and deep in thought. Sensing that chance had brought him across her path, Darren turned and strode towards where she sat and took a spot next to her. Upon seeing that she didn't notice his presence, he coughed and began to speak.
"I don't know what looks gloomier; the sky or your face" he said cheerfully, winking knowingly.

"I don't know what looks gloomier; the sky or your face" Tempest turned in the direction of the young voice, "Are you a poet of sorts?" She asked, eying the boy up for a moment. Did he just wink at her? She wanted to laugh but suppressed herself. He looked well enough to speak with she smiled, that beautiful Veela smile, "I am Temepst." She nodded, "And you are?"

Darren laughed softly. Him, a poet? Either she was laying it on thick or she's a veela....
And, at that thought, he was briefly entranced by her smile. It was as though the sun were shining suddenly, brighter than anything he had ever seen....
"Heh, well I was just noting how downcast you seemed. If you don't mind me being so forward, what is troubling you so?"

Tempest shrugged at his question, "Life, nothing out of the norm." She lied putting on her smile once more, "You've failed to tell me your name, you do have one, dont you?" She said, laughing slightly, teasing him. Then looked out at the darkened clouds and sighed deeply, "You must be a Hogwarts student, do you like it there?" She asked.

Tempest's answer did not satisfy Darren's curiosity. And he could tell right off she was putting up a front. A tactic that, one could say, he has intimate familiarity with....
He laughed at her playful taunt. "Ah, how rude of me. Name's Darren. And yes, I just received my owl from Hogwarts the other day. I'm excited. Can't wait to get out of here." He smiled broadly, genuinely excited to be getting into school and learning magic. However....
Not that mum or dad have noticed, Darren thought to himself bitterly. Perhaps her parents and mine should go play gobstones together....

"Darren," she repeated his name with her sing song voice, "Thats a nice name. I too will be transfiguring to Hogwarts, I was just kicked out of my old school." She laughed slightly remembering her last couple of days at her old school, "Where are you from Darren, who are your family?" She asked, it may have seemed like an odd question, yet this is how her mind worked, wanting information.

Anir was wandering around, looking for something to do, when he noticed Tempest atop a hill, conversing with a child, who seemed to be another Hogwarts student.He was a little iffy on whether or not to approach them, but his curiousity got the better of him, mostly wanting to know who this new young person was.
"Hello Tempest" he said as he walked towards them.He immediately could tell, even through her Veela abilities, as he always had been able to, that something was or had been wrong."What is wrong my dear?Is there something you need me to do?" he said cutting his eyes over to the boy.If he has upset her, God help him he thought to himself as he slid his wand down his sleeve and into his hand.

Darren was just about to answer Tempest's question, when their conversation was intruded upon by another boy. He seemed curious as to what they were talking about, and spoke before Darren could say anything....
"Hello Tempest. What is wrong my dear? Is there something you need me to do?"
The boy seemed peeved at Darren's presence, an observation that made him feel unwanted and annoyed. Biting his tongue, he instead turned to Tempest.
"I'm sorry, but do you know him?" asked Darren, feeling curious about the intruder and not entirely concerned about how forward or even rude he may have sounded. Darren has never cared for being accused of something he didn't do, which usually was a rare case; if someone accuses Darren of something, chances are he did it.

"I'm sorry, but do you know him?" asked Darren.Anir heard him, and sneered over to him."Of course I know her you idiot,.How else could I have called her by name?" he said with his usual attitude.Turning back to Tempest, he took a seat next to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder."Now, are you okay sweety?" he asked sweetly, the only person he could ever speak that way to.

Tempest shouldn't help but smile at the over protective nature of Anir, she sighed as she looked at him, "Anir, this is Darren, play nice." She nudged him in the ribs and laughed once again.
"Darren, his is Anir, he is an long time friend, and overly protective, wait he is more then that, he's like my security guard, he means well." She smiled at Anir, and gave Darren an apologizing look.

Darren was taken aback by Anir's smug attitude and poorly disguised disdain for his presence. It didn't help that the veela influences of Tempest were coloring his thinking, if only a little. Even at this age, Darren's mental disciplines were strong.
"I see" he said, his tone carefully measured. He looked Anir up and down, measuring him. Looking back over at Tempest, Darren couldn't help himself.
"A tad overzealous, isn't he?" he said, a sardonic smile forming on his face.

Anir stood up and got directly in the boys face."I have known her all of my life" he said fiercely, "And I will be damned if I will be disrespected by some half-pint like you."His voice rang loud and far from the hilltop upon which they all stood.He paused for a second and smiled lightly.He could tell that the boys mind was clouded by Temp's abilities."And just so you know, her power's have never had an affect on me, unlike you from what I can gather"

Tempest groaned, "And this is very I have very few friends, down boy." She laughed as she stood, "Anir, you are being a nasty boy." She said as she inserted herself between the two, "Darren, it seems I'm always apologizing to you." She shook her head and glared up at Anir for a fraction of a second, "My powers dont work on you because I wish them not to, I could easily control you, just like the others, dont get to big headed." She smirked as pushed him back softly.
"Now, I could make you boys 'kiss' and make up," She looked from one to the other, "Would you like that or would you rather play nice?" She crossed her arms and waited for their answers.

Anir chuckled at her."Temp, I love you, and for that, yes I will indeed tolerate his presence, nor will I harm him" he said as he backed away from the boy and slid his wand back up his sleeve."Now are you going to tell me what is wrong my dear" he asked as he shifted his gaze back to her, his eyes showing the concern he normally had problems expressing.They were a dark green color now, the only color of true caring for someone.

Darren's eyes narrowed as he looked Anir right in the eyes. Despite being without a wand, he would not allow himself to be intimidated.
"I'm sorry. But I do not disrespect unless I am disrespected in kind." He glanced at Anir's wand hand, which was doubtlessly resting on his wand, ready to strike at the drop of a hat. "And I find it hard to believe that you're not under her veela influences, judging from how.... vocal you are at the moment. Unless, of course, you're really so easily exciteable...."
Darren's tone remained level, refusing to be pushed around. All this for just happening on Tempest and making conversation, whom he had known for scant minutes. He was growing annoyed not only with Anir, but with Tempest for allowing her friend to harass a near-complete stranger in such a way.

Tempest just smiled at Anir and turned to Darren, "Please do forgive him, he is the only person in this world who has never looked at this," She pointed at herself, pointing out her Veela features, "He sees me, nothing more.. most of the time." She laughed, "So do forgive me for being easy on him, I do show favoritism." She sighed, "I'm not able to control him all the time, he does have a mind of his own.. sometimes."
Trying her hardest to make the atmosphere around them now, more cherry like, Tempest looked at Darren, "So you were about to tell me about yourself, go on." She encouraged.

Darren wasn't sure if he had wanted to stay at all, let alone discuss his life's story with two complete strangers, one of which had already demonstrated an active dislike towards him. And, for once, he had done nothing wrong. But at the same time, he did not want to punish Tempest for Anir's transgressions.....
"Well, I had just been accepted into Hogwarts the other day. My parents haven't arrived home yet to partake in the good news. Like they'd care...." Darren muttered that last part under his breath, annoyed that his mum and dad haven't come back from their quidditch teams to take him school shopping.
