Sand Castle
Theodore Nott liked the simple things in life. He liked his home life, his school and the expensive holidays his family took him on. By the age of ten he had seem most of the world.
However, there was one thing that he wished he could enjoy, but for some reason could never seem to get more than ten feet towards.
That was Daphne Greengrass. The Greengrasses were different to the Notts. They weren't as – how should he put it – loyal. Their family's members involved with the Dark Lord were somewhat slimmer than others.
Theodore found that attractive. He liked her carefree nature; her not so strict upbringing.
That was why he invited her to his family's next holiday. It was by a beach in New Caledonia, and she had taken quite the liking to the warm, grainy feeling between her toes. Every day, she would make her way down to the water.
One day, he found her knee-deep in the sand and bent over.
"What are you doing?"
She looked up at him with that look that asked if he was mocking her. Calmly, she replied with, "Building a sand castle. The Muggle children are doing it." She indicated the many other families around them.
Theodore groaned. "Of course," he muttered. He left after that.
The girl just became more interesting every day. Tomorrow, she'd probably be partying with the locals.
