WhyDoesItHaveToRainOnMyParade

It was cold morning in the grounds of Hogwarts and a young girl, to young to be attending Hogwarts was looking all around down by the cold waters of the black lake. She was calling out out the name "Lexie! Lexie" You could tell by the acent in her voice she wasn't English. She was still looking all around when she bumped into boy a lot older then her. He must have been twelve, thirteen maybe depending on when his birthday was.

"Oh i am so Sorry" the girl said to him when she bumped into him. The boy could tell by the way she was speaking that there was something wrong.

He took a closer look at the girl. He could tell that she wasn't school age because even Buexbatons and Dumstrang don't take in students as young as she was. "It's alright" he told the little girl "What's wrong?" he then went on to ask her in a gentle voice

The girl looked up at him and told him in English as best she could "I 'ave lost Fluer pet"

The boy gave her a sympathetic look "I can help you look for it" he told the girl still in that same gentle tone. He could tell that she was upset about losing the pet. Though he wondered what it was

"That would be very kind of you" she responded

"Now what kind of animal is your sisters pet" I he asked her

"It is a hamster" the girl told him

"Oh" The boy said. He knew now why she was having difficulty finding it. Hamsters where small creatures. He was only hoping that it hadn't been spotted by one of the Hogwarts owls or any of the other creatures around the school as i would shorely have been eaten if i had.

"It's name iz Lexie" the the girl told him "And mine is Gabrielle"

"Alright" The boy replied to her "Mines Colin"

Gabrielle gave Colin a small smile and the two set out to look for the missing hamster. The had been searching for hours when Gabrielle said "I give up.. We shall never find her"

"Don't give up Gabrielle" Colin told her when he spotted something moving in the leaves not all that far from where the pair were.

Gabrielle heard the sound of he rustle leaves and looked to the pile. There in the pile she spotted Lexie. "Lexie" she said when she saw her. Gabrielle moved over to where the pile of leaves were located and picked up the hamster she could see in them. She smiled. She looked back at Colin who was smiling as well "Merci.. Thank you for helping me find her"

"It's was no problem" he told her

"I better take Lexie back to Fluers room" Gabriella said disappearing off to the Buexbatons carraige without so much as a goodbye
