What was becoming of Hogwarts? Pansy was confessing issues to her, which Millicent was definitely capable of dealing with even if they weren’t very emotional. Millicent was just not very good at listening and helping people through their emotions; it was just not something Millicent had much experience in. Then there was Smith and the fact that they had indeed agreed and spoke like civil people. Yes Millicent could be civil but after she had poked fun at his antics they still managed to agree and have something of a pleasant conversation. Things were definitely changing. Unlike Pansy, Millicent accepted change because it was a part of life, but it didn’t mean she liked all the changes.

Millicent was curious about how things were changing and developing in school and especially her own house. She was curious to what was going on with Draco and if what Pansy assumed could ever happen. Millicent of course couldn’t think about her housemates without thinking about Crabbe and Goyle and being hit with incredible painful emotion that preferred not to deal with. They were gone and time had passed but it still wasn’t getting any better. They were her friends and were always reliable, but now they weren’t there to call on if she needed company or something to go eat with. Storming the kitchen wasn’t as much fun anymore without the two of them to fight over the cakes with.

The common room started to feel enclosed to Millicent and she just needed to get out. She pulled her cat from her lap who had found comfort there purring away as it relaxed. “Sorry Mabel,” she muttered as she moved her out of the way and stood up. Homework was left incomplete but right now Millicent didn’t care. She felt that if she was going to continue to dwell on what she had started to think about she knew that people would begin to notice her appearing almost teary-eyed and she didn’t need that right now. Millicent hated being upset or emotional around other people, which was why she had to get out of here.

Leaving the common room behind, she walked out and headed as quickly as she could through the hallways. Her heavy footsteps echoing in the hall, and stature slouched. The school uniform hung from her body, her robes lay forgotten in the common room with her cat. Millicent found herself outside quicker than she had expected, but the fresh was definitely helping her opposed to the stuffy common room. Millicent didn’t get very far though, and found herself plopping down on the front steps of the school with a heavy sigh. She pulled her feet up to the next step and leaned her hands arms on her knees and her chin rested upon her arms.

Luna was in her own little world coming back from climbing trees by the great lake. There was a monumental rip in the leggings she’d worn under her school uniform skirt but she didn’t seem to notice or care. She was oblivious and happy. That was the way she liked to keep things. She planned on searching out Terry later to catch a glimpse of his comics. She hadn’t gone to dinner though. She wasn’t even hungry. She wanted to feast on the beautiful weather instead. It was on her way back in that the spotted the sulky dark-haired girl. She was hardly the sort of person you could walk right on by. She was sort of a rather large obstacle to the door. Luna honestly never gave the big girl much thought though. She’d even played with her cat when it got loose a time or two not that Millicent would have known as much.

She figured the girl was upset over something but it wasn’t like Luna to immediately jump out and ask someone what was bothering them when she didn’t know them that well. Instead, she posed in her best piece of sculpture pose standing their as still as she could. She rather thought the way Millicent was sitting could have made for an interesting sculpture. She aimed to look something like the Venus De Milo or something equally cool. She probably just looked bizarre and to anyone else it wouldn’t have made sense. Her eyes watched the form of the bigger girl carefully though.

“You pose much better than I do,” she said after a long moment randomly. She wasn’t even sure she’d been noticed standing there acting silly. She always had a hard time knowing when someone was pretending to not notice her and when they really weren’t. Usually she had to be loud and make her presence known though. She didn’t mind making her presence known to her though. She supposed she could get pummeled for attempting to hang around. She always wondered what it might be like to fight without a wand though. Not that she’d ever fight. She just thought black eyes and scars were interesting. She wanted to know the mechanism by which they sprung. She wondered if animals got the same sorts of things. She knew about contusions but black eyes. She wasn’t sure that she’d ever know.

Millicent was quite content being lost in sorrow; of course she wouldn’t admit that she was lost in her own because she hated talking about her emotions. Millicent was lost in her thoughts enough not to really care or notice the people that could walk past her. If people had walked past her she probably wouldn’t have noticed, but since they had not she was left undisturbed, that was until Luna was making her way back to the school. Millicent of course saw her but if she could play like she didn’t notice the Loony girl perhaps she would go away.

As Luna moved into a pose that Millicent could see but it was making it harder to ignore her. Luna was so very odd, and the way she was standing there as if mocking her or trying to compete with Millicent’s stance. Whatever the reason was Millicent honestly didn’t care about it if Luna would just leave her the hell alone she would be fine with that. Millicent preferred to be left alone the majority of the time and right now was no exception. Millicent wanted to do her emotional thing alone, and if she had to have a person she wouldn’t want it to be Loony Lovegood, come to think of it she had never really wanted to speak with her any time.

Darn it Luna had to talk to her and that comment was loud enough and directed enough to her that Millicent would have to reply. Millicent dropped her feet down a step and her hands rested against her sides. “What are you blabbering about?” Millicent spoke with an annoyed tone and her facial features displayed annoyance as well. Millicent was confused by Luna, which was not an odd statement as she confused most people. She had been doing that stupid pose and now she was claiming that Millicent posed better. What ever that meant Millicent didn’t want to know. “What do you want?” Millicent asked curtly.

“Posing! You’d make a better work of art.” Answers often came out as they wanted to. She didn’t feel like saying she wanted to know what was going on with her. She decided instead she’d list everything she was currently wanting at the moment. It was just the sort of thing she would do. “I want to listen to Terry play piano and see his new comic book, hug Justin, re-read Zacharias book, see my father, go swimming in the Great Lake and ride the Giant Squid…. ” She was really blabbering now and she wasn’t stopping anytime soon. There were a lot of things Luna wanted. They were all silly things most of the time though. She wasn’t that into material things so it wasn’t that often you’d hear anything of actual monetary value.

She twirled in light, cheery circles on the stone walkway as she continued her list of wants. “Harry and Ginny to get back together, Ron to finally own up to the fact he likes Hermione, to cross-breed unicorns and .. oh well I forgot what I wanted to cross them with, to play hide and go seek with peeves, a year of fall or maybe not – I sort of like the other seasons but I really like the weather we’re having today , to meet Newt Scamander because he’s a genius even though he’s retired. I hear his son is taking up in his steed though, oh and maybe plimpie. I might be a bit home sick… I think that might be all at the moment. There are always things I want.”

Luna looked expectantly at the darker haired and bigger witch. It was time for her to tell what she wanted. It was a bit like Christmas but without the whole big strange muggle Elf. “What do you want?” she asked after a moment. She was curious what she might have wanted. This game was lots of fun. She rather liked it. Then again, there weren’t many things Luna didn’t like. What was the point in going around hating everything anyways?

What was Luna talking about, she really was strange. What was that about a piece of artwork? Why was this even coming up in conversation? Millicent had to remind herself that Loony was in fact completely out of it and was off her rocker, there for her talking about Millicent being artwork was not surprising. Millicent was more annoyed than anything else because she hated being confused and all Luna was doing was agitating her and making her want to punch her and walk away. This girl was driving her nuts already and they were barely together for a few minutes. Luna seriously had talent, or Millicent was just on edge, it was probably more the latter than anything else.

As Luna went on to tell her exactly what she wanted in life Millicent just looked at her confused because that was not what she meant at all. Millie wanted to know what the hell Luna wanted from her and why she was talking to her. The whole explanation was torture and was taking forever; even the little spin caused Millicent’s skin to crawl with aggravation. Finally when the girl stopped Millicent looked at her sort of awe stricken but more annoyed than anything else. “What are you on about? That was not what I meant. I don’t care about what you want; I want to know what you want with talking to me?” Millicent was very gruff with her tone as she looked at the blonde waiting for her just to go.

“What I want is for you to leave me alone, I did not ask for you company nor did I appear to want any company. A person sitting on the steps is probably there for a reason.” Millicent looked at Luna hoping the girl would go, but if she continued to annoy her she would have to start throwing punches.

Luna wasn’t really that far out of it. She simply had her own way of thinking about things. Millicent might not have understood where she was coming with things but that was okay. Most people didn’t get her or the way her mind worked. One day she’d find someone who did and that would make all the time dealing with people who didn’t worth it. Times like this made her miss her father who would have gotten it. She was really just trying to get the girl’s mind off of whatever it was on. She must have been succeeding on some level though. She could tell that she was irritating her. You couldn’t be mad and sad at the same time really. One emotion was always going to be there to outdo the other.

“You looked like you could use someone to talk to,” she told her in response to what she was on about. She didn’t think it really mattered how the conversation started as long as there was one. A lot of people would have given up and ran off at this point in frustration. Luna figured if the older girl really didn’t want someone to talk to she would have fled already. That was her train of thought anyways. She was pretty good at reading people anyways. She might act silly but she did understand people better than they probably thought she did. She had a pretty firm handle on things actually.

She didn’t relent when told that Millicent wanted to be alone either. Did she really think it was be that easy? People said that all the time. Most of the time they didn’t mean it though. “The steps are a very public place you know,” Luna said after a moment, “and if you didn’t want to be found then there are better places to hide. Maybe you think you didn’t want to talk to someone but subconsciously you did so you went somewhere that people would have to pass by.”

Millicent sat in momentary awe at Luna; she didn’t want to talk to anyone and if she did she certainly didn’t want to Loony Lovegood. She rolled her eyes and shook her head. “Well I don’t need someone to talk to; if I did I would find someone in my house to talk to not come out here. I come outside when I need to be alone.” Millicent really stressed the last word as she looked at the blonde Ravenclaw standing in front of her. She didn’t want to talk to her, but she would choose her over, say Brown or one of her crowd.

As Luna spoke Millicent unfortunately found herself agreeing with her words, not that she would ever admit it. She brushed her hair from her face without much result as it quickly fell back, that was a problem with short hair. Millie looked up at Luna and shook her head. “I figure anywhere I go people will get the point I don’t want to talk to someone, after all I am scary Millicent Bulstrode.” Most people remembered her from taking a punch to Hermione, the precious Hermione. A lot of other people remembered for the other things she did like throw a few punches at because someone annoyed her. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to do that to Luna here. “I don’t want to talk about what I am feeling, and even if I did I wouldn’t want to talk to you. I am not an open person when it comes to my emotions.” Millicent finally finished speaking and stood up, she would go away if Luna would press the matter anymore.
