Pixie's eyes fluttered open, the darkness over took her as she layed there. She sat up slowly and pulled back the drapes on her bed, her eyes adjusting to the darkness in the Gryffindor tower. Around her sleeping bodies tossed, snored, and flinched in the darkness, she looked around and sighed. Somehow sleep was something she was lacking and well it wasn't fair, she had spent many nights awake since she arrived at Hogwarts castle. Pixie flung her covers back and grabbed her wand from her bedside table, she just needed some fresh air. She looked around and noticed the dark shadow of her small shoes and tiny jacket, throwing them both on she headed out the door.
Quietly Pixie exited the common room, somehow this seemed foolish. Being that at night people were most likely to get hurt in this castle, Pixie looked around before she ignited her wand tip as the light flooded the area around her she squinted. The light was a bit blinding, but she quickly got adjusted and headed for the North Tower which wasn't far but she still had to be careful.
Pixie walked slowly her head constantly checking the area around her, and watching out for anyone who was out to get her. Ever since Snape had taken over Hogwarts was no longer safe, and Pixie had taken up the habit of walking backwards, sideways, and forward to ensure her safety. Somehow people thought that because she was so small that it would be easy to take her out, they were wrong Pixie was feisty and she would fight till the end. Pixie's small feet carried her quickly as she found the enterance to the North Tower, she slipped inside and looked around.
From what she could see the tower was empty, ensuring she would be safe. It was safer to be out at night sometimes, due to the fact people slept. The most Pixie had to worry about at night was the vampires, but from what she knew they were out in the forest and no where near her. Pixie had remembered Dumbledore saying something way back when about how they had to avoid the forest at night and all that junk, she understood why now. Pixie sat down near the window, it was a clear night every so often a cloud would roll by and she would frown. Her eyes fixed on the sky she took in a deep breath and hoped that things would get better.

Lily layed awake curled up under her blanket facing the lamp on her bedside table. Tonight she was freezing, one of her room mates had insisted on keeping the window open all night, she had tried to close it but she still wasn't quite sure that the girl was quite asleep yet. She wasn't really one to mind the cold, but she couldn't sleep and she wasn't sure if it was the temperature in the room, or she just couldn't sleep. She sat up her eyes looking around the room looking for any sign of movement from the room mates around her. They all seemed fast asleep, she got up out of her bed and was met by a low growl, she retracted her foot and sat down on her bed looking in the direction the growl had came from.
"You better not be going to close the window," her room-mate hissed, causing Lily to roll her eyes. "Oh grow up," she said getting out of her bed, closing the window and sticking her tongue out childishly at the girl, even though she wasn't sure that the girl could see her. She didn't even wait for a reply, Lily just grabbed the hood of her sweater that was laying on the trunk at the foot of her bed, which is where she had thrown it before she went to bed. She pulled the sweater over her head as her feet searched for her shoes, also left by her trunk and she trudged out the door.
Lily wasn't exactly sure where she was going, she was just hoping to get out of the awkward atmosphere in there, she could tell the girl was watching her the whole time she was laying there and decided that she would wait a little while before attempting to crawl back into bed and close the window. She walked down the steps from the girls dormatory leading to the common room. She probably should have lit her wand because just as she passed the couches she found herself on the ground, she wasn't exactly sure how she got there, but she turned to see a body under her legs. She rolled her eyes and pulled herself off the ground, the person whom the body belonged to apparently was fast asleep and didn't notice anyone was tripping over them.
That ruled Common Room out of places to wait in, she decided on the North Tower, Trelawny never hung around there at night, so it would probably be deserted. She never really faniced Divination, not that it was hard, more like it was boring. And Professor Trelawny was a little odd, going on and on about the secrets of Divination and peering at you through those huge glasses of hers, she had always found that a bit creepy, that her eyes looked that much bigger.

Pixie sat there the wind blew in her hair, as she looked at the deserted grounds below. From time to time she could have sworn she saw someone moving in the forest, but she just disreguarded it. Pixie rested her chin on the sil of the window and let the cool air hit her face, she closed her eyes and tried to sleep. Though it was a bad idea to sleep there, she would at least get some rest someone would wake her. With her eyes closed Pixie began to dream, though they were slow and had no signficance they still were welcomed due to the fact she was so tired.
A cool breeze picked up and Pixie opened her eyes, she was awake again and she wasn't too sure how long she had really slept. Pixie sat up slowly and sighed, it was sad she had to sleep on the floor of a tower. For somereason she couldn't sleep in the dorms, but in class and in a tower she could this angered Pixie. Pixie got to her feet and began to walk around, her feet had fallen asleep from sitting on them, she walked slowly and then fast her hands tucked in her pockets. It was kind of cold in the tower, she sighed and then shut the small window which was letting the cold air in.
Pixie sighed and sat down aganist the wall near the door, she wanted to hear anyone walking by so she could have time to hide. Her eyes shut again as she sat there, her mind was at peace till she heard someone walking. Pixie's eyes instantly shot open and she stood up, her wand was now pointed at the door. The original plan of hiding went out the window, she was ready to fight as always, she stood there for a good minute as the footsteps faded. Pixie sat away from the door in a dark part of the tower just in case.
She closed her eyes once again and let herself drift into sleep, she was liking this sleeping in bits. Though like every time she was awoken by something, someone was walking in the corrider outside of the the door. Pixie held her wand to her chest, she wasn't going to go down without a fight. Her breath picked up and she looked around her eyes were wild, since she was well freaked out. Pixie bit the inside of her cheek and waited in silence, someone was about to come in and possibly find her and well she didn't want to get hurt.

Lily lit her wand and hid it in the pocket of her sweater, only letting the light light a little bit of where she walked, so it wasn't too bright, she was half expecting to see Trelawny there for some reason. She pulled out her wand fully and let the light dance across the wall oposite to her, if Trelawny was there she would have seen the light across the wall and that would give her enough time to take off down the corridor and find a good place to hide before she was caught roaming the halls at night. She didn't hear any movement, and no one started yelling at her for being out of bed, she took this as a good sign, "Nox," she muttered under her breath, careful not to bring too much attention to herself if tehre happened to be a teacher or prefect or someone patrolling the halls.
It probably wasn't the smartest idea to turn off the light from her wand, because it was now pitch black, her eyes hadn't adjusted to the lack of light there was now. She ended up tripping over a rug, today the floor just can't seem to get enough of Lily apparently. "Dammit," she mumbled as she pulled herself up to her feet. She still couldn't see anything, but she walked back over to the wall feeling around for a light switch, well at least what she thought was the wall, it might've been the door. Not having any luck, she did the logical thing and took out her wand, "Lumos," she said and her wand emitted light, lighting up the small room.

Pixie watched the light come in, from what she could see the person wasn't that tall but she still needed to becareful. She shifted and pressed herself to the wall as the light moved above her, Pixie watched the light die out and she held her breath. Pixie knew they hadn't left, but the possibly knew she was here hiding and coming to get her, yes she was parinoid and well it kept her safe. Her eyes watched the dark shadow stumble about and she creeped along the wall, towards the window. So whoever was in here with her was a female from what she could see, and wasn't smart enough to use her wand. She tried not to laugh as the girl stumbled about, it wasn't till she saw her fall and she heard Dammnit that she gripped her wand again.
She hated this, her eyes were already adjusted to the dim light and she kept her eyes fixed on the figure. For all she knew this person could know she's here and toying with her, Pixie watched as they rose to they're feet once more and she saw the face of the girl. Her eyes darted to the floor here she sat bathed in light her wand pressed to her chest, Pixie remembered the girl as Lily. She let out a sigh of relief she was a Ravenclaw and posed no harm, Pixie smiled slightly sitting there in her paranoid terror stricken state.

Lily looked around the room, she definatly was surprised to see Pixie standing there in the corner, involentarily, Lily let out a loud ear peircing scream and fell backwards over a stack of books, she put out her light and layed on the floor silently listening for any sign that someone heard and was coming to check up hear, she waited a few minutes and no footsteps up to the tower, she got up off the floor and brushed off her clothes, and straightened out her blue monkey pj bottoms. Probably not the best attire, but she was trying to sleep not to long ago.
She could feel her face go red, heat creeping up on her cheeks, due to the embarassment of screaming so loud, then tripping yet again, tonight really just wasn't her night. "Sorry, she muttered, but you scared the shit out of me, I thought I was alone," she said. This was the first time she actually really registered who was in teh room with her, she only saw someone hiding in the darkness, and then fell down and turned off the light. She recognised the girl as Pixie, she had only met her once before at the lawns, all she knew was her name and house though.

The silence between them was werid, you could tell that there was some kind of fear between them. Pixie's mouth fell open as Lily screamed, she fell over and covered her eyes with her hood, merlin to hell they were about to be caught and given lashes or worse. She bit her cheek again and the light from Lily's wand died out, darkness took over and silence was met with no footsteps. Pixie could feel her heart aganist her chest, and she was panting as if she ran a marathon. It was that fear of being caught that sent her into this fit, she looked from under her hood no feet were at the door and the hall was still silent. From beneath her hood she watched Lily stand up and brush herself off, Pixie stayed on the floor her tiny frame bundled into a ball.
Pixie was breathing heavily from her place on the floor, her eyes were mad with fear and she just peaked at Lily's feet. She heard her speak and her eyes shot up "It's...Alright" she trembled "You...." Pixie took in a deep breath "Scared me too, I didn't think anyone was up" she replied her eyes were fixed on Lily's face. Pixie was terrified at the moment, and wouldn't move she was glued to the spot, she knew little of the girl.

"I don't think they'd suspect anyone up here other then Trelawny," she said, noticing Pixie still looked frightened, terrified would probably be a better way to describe the small trembling girl's state at the moment. "Mmm the floor defiantly likes me tonight," she said staring at the wood beneath her feet, also keeping her ears open for any footsteps or movement under her. "Uhh, so what brings you out here to the North Tower, so late at night?" she asked curiously. Sometimes Lily could ask a lot of questions, some might say she's nosy. Truth is, she was, but didn't really show it much.
She noticed this year had changed a lot of people, innocent little Lily, never broke the rules once, but then on the most dangerous year to get a detention, she had to start breaking the rules, but Lily was a smart girl, she hardly ever got caught, which is probably what made sneaking out so fun, it was like a big game to her, she was always ahead in her classes now, due to the large amount of studying and amazing lack of socializing like normal students. So class wasn't honestly a challenge, sure she struggled with somethings, like normal students but it wasn't the same, this was actually fun. Outsmarting the teachers.

Pixie took a deep breath and kept her eyes on Lily "Possibly" she replied still refusing to move. Her body shook out of fear, and shit bit her lip again she hated this. Fear was something that gripped her daily now and she couldn't stand it, her eyes quickly darted away from Lily and then back to her face. Pixie blinked as Lily made a comment about the floor, and she sighed as Lily asked what she was doing out at night. "I couldn't sleep, I take it you felt the same way?" she asked sitting up slowly. Pixie was almost afraid to move due to the fact she was afraid of getting caught, she was now sitting with her back to the wall her eyes still held a look of fear to them.
She kept her arms around her tiny body, she didn't understand why fear still consumed her. Possibly because they had not been caught, she had doubts in her mind about the whole thing. Pixie knew that since Dumbledore had died having a sense of security was stupid let alone thinking you could get away with anything, she didn't try anymore she no longer spoke her mind. Pixie kept a low profile when it came to speaking, just not her style of dress and such. She sat there her eyes scanning the room for any sign of someone coming up.
