Kathleen closed her journal and let out a sigh. Pulling her hair back and letting the shorter strands of hair fall infront of her face, she picked up her journal and set it down beside her bed. After telling her dormmates that she would be going for a walk, she grabed what she needed and headed off to meet Rupert in the courtyard.

A part of her wasn't sure if she did want company on her walk, but she did enjoy Rupert's company. It was better than being by herself, if she were alone it would give her an excuse to be upset and the last thing she wanted to do was start crying. While she hadn't cried since Jonathan's funeral, there were reminders that would make her eyes burn and sometimes a few tear drops would form but she would always force herself to think about something else. Crying wouldn't do any good.

When she arrived at the courtyard, she wasn't sure if he was already there waiting for her or not. So Kathleen decided to sit down on one of the stone benches and wait for him. Breathing in the fresh air did make her feel slightly better. Glancing down at her feet, she kicked at one of the rocks as she humed to herself.

"I don't know, uncomfortable benches are a favourite of mine," Rupert offered, smiling vaguely. Because going for walks was tricky business. "But yes, I think so," He said, standing up.

It wouldn't be that bad, because Kathleen was a friend. And he was well capable of going on a friendly walk. "Did you get much work done over the holidays?" Rupert asked, unsure if this was a bad subject or not. Because talking of the Holidays could remind her about events, and that was probably what she didn't want reminding of? No one wanted to be reminded of all the attacks happening. But homework was a non-issue, so it seemed easy enough to talk about. "I did some, but it was hard to focus," He said.

"Sadly, I didn't get a whole lot done. Which is probably not the best idea for my situation, since OWLs will be coming up soon." Kathleen replied shaking her head. It was hard to forget her exams were coming up, Professors continued to hound the students with piles and piles of homework and becoming more strict on their markings.

"I agree, it was hard to focus." Most of the time she slept. It was easy for her to ignore everything when she was sleeping and from what she experienced, it was a good thing too. She felt more refreshed now and realized that she probably had been missing out on a good amount of sleep before the holiday started. Kathleen wanted to ask if his family was alright. But she was sure he wouldn't want to talk about it, like Kathleen wasn't sure if she wanted to talk about Jonathan. "Are they really as terrible as they say? The OWLs I mean."
