` THE GREAT ESCAPE

WE ARE FINALLY FREE

the day was a bit rainy, but arya knew that they weren’t able to cancle now. she had been reserving these tickets for the past few months and there was no way she was going to give them up now. getting tickets for kenny park was so hard that it was nearly took her some weeks to actually find the best bet. the best thing was that she finally got to be a muggle or pretend to be muggle. kenny park was a muggle amuersement park. for merlin’s sake, they would never have amusement parks in the wizarding world. why have them when there was such thing as magic? she smiled from underneath her baseball hat and her hood. she knew it was a lousy day to go , but she couldn’t control the weather. she wished she could, but she couldn’t. thankfully she managed to waterproof her sketchbook before going and as usual, she took it along. “arya, dearie, i just don’t see why you’re going today,” her mum complained before giving her some pounds that day. she wished she could have been a little nicer to her mum, but the woman was really going to complain and complain until she got what she wanted. they weren’t quite the wealthiest, still living in a small hut nearby or so, but she wanted to give this to the boys. she wanted to pay for their tickets and she wanted to surprise them. arya had saved her money and borrowed some from her mum before buying them. it was that morning when her mum called, begging her to get a refund because of the rain. she was meeting them... in maybe a few minutes or so? she was an hour early- she had been so nervous about being late that she came much too soon. but that didn’t matter. she had the tendency to have the bad timing anyways.

she rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. she didn’t even want to be here. she didn’t want to be at this stupid ass school. i mean, seriously? who named their school st. margerie of augustine? “i sure hope you die in hell,” adrienne swore and without another word, she walked out of the classroom, leaving the nun in shock. she was a terrible catholic school girl wasn’t she. that’s what happened when you sent a twelve year old to summer school right? she got kicked out for apparently swearing too much. and her sweet baby face didn’t quite do much in her favor. adri walked past the school and past the park. her mum wasn’t expecting her home till later and so that should leave enough time for ice cream, right? there were two boys that looked rather familiar... they were whispering about something and it wasn’t until she got closer that she realized they were only eleven years old... talking about girls as if they were much older. “hey there!” she couldn’t help but smirk at their shocked expressions. ah, that never got old. one of them muttered a greeting the other said something about bad timing. she remembered laughing lightly and then shaking her head in mock disappointment, “you two sure aren’t very good at keeping your mouths shut.” that was the first thing she said and although it wasn’t quite the most impressive first impression ever, at least they weren’t scared away too much by adri. and they didn’t mind twelve. but they liked arya the most and well, something about being with them triggered that side of her. just arya.

she tugged her jacket closer to her. oh darn, they were supposed to be going on all of the water rides today. but there seemed to be enough water right now to work for them now! she made a face, shaking her head. well, they would have to just figure something out. she flipped through a few pages of her sketchbook, looking at all of the pictures. they were of dorey and fields, as she liked to call them... or of theodore abercrombie and felix longbottom. they were her best friends in the world, even though they were a year younger than her. she and dorey were incredibly close just as he and fields were, but it was a different kind of understanding. she liked to think that they would never grow apart simply because they had that connection. the one that only years of friendship could create. then, her and fields were a little different. they dated for a while and even were each other’s firsts, so it was sometimes just a little awkward between the two. she just wanted for things to go back to where they were before. and so that’s what she had been doing. acting as if it just made their friendship even stronger. there were still times when she wondered whether he felt the same way with her as before. arya sighed, sitting on the edge of the entrance sign. where were they... where were they...

THE CHANGING OF TIMES WILL BLOW OVER

[/size]
until then we'll run away, run away, run away[/i][/color]

Generally, Felix Longbottom was a pretty cheerful guy. He was a bit on the shy side, usually to nervous to go up and talk to anyone that he didn't know, but he was still happy. Regardless of his seemingly constant cheerful mood, there were a few things going on in his life that seemed to be threatening his usual state of untroubled bliss. Aside from the fact that his parents were insanely protective over him, there was also Katerina Carrow. Katerina herself put Felix in a wonderful mood, but the fact that she'd lost her sister and was struggling so much because of that? Not so much. Felix was way sweeter than he would ever give himself credit for, and seeing her hurt over something quite frankly made him want to break down and cry. But him crying wouldn't solve anything, obviously; he had to be the strong one who held things together, so she felt like she could rely on him. That was what he wanted. He wanted her to feel safe. He wasn't exactly the safest sort of person, since he was obsessed with dragons and the most dangerous magical creatures that roamed the earth, but it wasn't like she would get involved with that. And even though he worried about Katerina most days, today was one of those days where he was supposed to be relaxing and having fun with his best mates.

Teddy and Arya were probably the people that he was closest to. They were a bit of a trio - an odd trio, but a trio nonetheless. He and Teddy were both shy, awkward guys while Arya had multiple personality disorder. Which was... well, it had been a bit strange at first, but it was something that he'd grown accustomed to. He was patient about it, even though one of her personalities quite frankly scared the bloody hell out of him. He'd overlooked that, though, because he did love Arya quite a bit. The two of them had even dated for awhile and lost their virginity to each other, which had made things... well, very, very awkward, after they broke up. It was still a bit awkward, to an extent, but he just tried to ignore it and pretend like it wasn't a big deal. It probably was even more awkward for Teddy, knowing that his best friends had slept together, which was probably why Felix tried his best to pretend like it hadn't happened. Well... not like it hadn't happened, but he wasn't going to make a big fuss over it. It was in the past, there really wasn't much that he could do about it.

"Felix! Oh, Fee, you shouldn't go out in the rain! You could get sick and catch a cold or..."

[/color] His mother rattled on and on, seeming to list off all the bad things that could happen in a rain storm. Felix only sighed, pretending to pay attention to her as he pulled on his jacket - the last article of clothing he needed before he left. "I'll be fine, Mum. Relax. I'll bring you back a stuffed animal."[/color] He mumbled, then leaned over and kissed his mother on the cheek like the good son that he was. He gave her a little hug, then walked out the front door and pulled the hood of his jacket up over his head. He was pretty sure he could still hear her fussing, even though the door was closed, but he simply shook his head and apparated to the park, behind a couple of trees nearby the entrance sign so that no one would spot him. He brushed off his clothes, leapt out from behind the trees, then grinned as he spotted Arya. "Hey. Have you been waiting long?"[/color] He asked, curiously tilting his head to the side.

Teddy let out a soft sigh as he exited his mum's apartment and slipped into the cab waiting outside. His parents, who he had always been convinced loved each other dearly, had suddenly gotten divorced. It seemed random to him, but he apparently had missed most of the fighting in his last year at Hogwarts; so by the time he had figured out what was happening, there was nothing he could to. To put it simply, Teds was crushed. He'd always loved and treasured his relationship with his parents, so for them to split had literally pained him. For the past few nights, he was so upset he'd even cried himself to sleep. Frowning at the thought of it, Teddy smoothed down a tuft of his hair that he felt sticking up, before glancing out the window of the cab. It was cold, wet, and sort of murky out, but the weather was the least of his concerns. As long as he was with Arya and Felix, Teddy knew things would be okay. Ever since he and Felix had met in first year, they'd been best mates. Teds had been initially quite afraid of going to Hogwarts, out of fear of not making friends, but they proved to be the best ones he could ever have.

When Felix went through his bad-boy phase, Teddy had been absolutely devastated. He'd never known Hogwarts without his best mate, so to be pushed away like that practically broke his tiny, Irish heart. Arya was still nice to have around, sure, but she was never quite Felix. Teddy was miserable, but oh-so-very furious with Felix, so when he outgrew his bad streak and wanted to be friends again, Teds had been reluctant to let him back in the loop. But Felix was Felix, and so soon enough Teddy caved and they were the golden trio once more. Things seemed normal again, at least in the beginning, but Teddy soon enough began to pick up on the differences in their relationships. Though Felix had apologized more than Teds had ever heard anyone apologize, what happened happened. Their friendship was different, even just the tiny bit, and Teddy knew it would never be the same. This theory that he had was further strengthened when Teddy found out that Felix and Arya somehow had lost their virginities to each other. How had that happened? No matter how many times he thought about it, which admittedly was kind of disgusting, Teddy didn't understand how such could have occurred. Had they always liked each other? Best friends didn't just go around shagging each other.. right? He had never been attracted to either of them in that way, so though Teddy wasn't jealous of what they'd done, he couldn't help but feel.. out of the loop. Left behind, almost.

Quietly watching the buildings fly by out the window, the cab slowly came to a stop in front of the amusement park. Teddy glanced up at the rides, a small smile tugging at his lips, instantly in a better mood. Muggles had always fascinated him, and there was nothing he loved more than socializing and being with them. This amusement was a perfect opportunity for that. Fishing a few pounds out of his pocket, Teds handed them to the driver, before getting out of the cab. He glanced down at his watch, a muggle one, naturally, and wrinkled his nose. One minute early. So where were they? Slinging his backpack, filled with supplies, Teddy finally spotted Arya and wandered over there. At the sight of them he grinned widely, waving excitedly as he approached. Heyyy, sorry I'm late, Teddy told them with a small shrug, though he was actually on-time. I brought loads of important stuffs, though. Like.. , he trails off, unzipping his backpack as he takes the opportunity to peer inside, Ponchos, sweatshirts, extra shoes, snacks, sunglasses, and sun screen.. I'd say we're, er, well sorted. Grinning sheepishly, Teddy kicked at the ground, the bottom of his sneaker scuffing against the dirty ground. He was usually quite shy and reserved, but around Arya and Felix, he was the happy-go-lucky, cute and optimistic one.

WE ARE FINALLY FREE

people wondered why she hung around the freshies. freshmen were so supposed to be loud, obnoxious, and pathetic. what the older students would do to sometimes wring their necks. they wanted to know why she was so keen on defending them when they were planning a prank. they wanted to see how far she’d actually go to protect her best friends, who coincidentally just happened to be freshmen as well. but as usual, people only saw what they wanted to. they saw a peculiar girl with a terrible memory. they saw a shy hufflepuff with a troubled past. and they saw an uncertain gryffindor who was still trying to figure him out in this messed up world. what they didn’t know were the most important parts. like how those three met or how they became best friends. how they were the peculiar girl’s life line or even how she would never be able to live without them. because they, were her key to sanity. mpd had its twists and turns. it was around them where she knew who she was. she sometimes felt like she didn’t know what to do, what to say, how to act. people expected her to be someone she wasn’t and then they mentioned times where she couldn’t recall doing or saying that. it was only around dorey and fields when she really felt like... herself. because without them, she didn’t know who she was or the potential she really had. arya always thought she was a strange person. she had an on and off memory. she was usually friends with people who weren’t the same age as her. she preferred it that way though. it was just the way she grew up and well, she didn’t know anything more. but with dorey and fields, they were the people who gave her strength. the idea sounded incredibly corny, but she couldn’t imagine being without them. there were so many times where they reminded her what had happened. she could still recall them telling her that so and so had poured soup on her because she insulted them to their face. and while she wasn’t quite so sure that she would ever do that herself, it didn’t matter. that was the truth and she trusted the two.

her expression changed from worried to happy in all of a split second before a small smile reached her lips. it was funny how quick these personalities came and went. you could blink and you might have missed all three girls. arya waved, seeing a familiar blond haired boy. his eyes were honey colored brown, his dark eyebrow furrowed, and his height not too tall nor too short. yes, he was perfect as he always had been. ever since they broke up, she tried to make sure that she wasn’t always gooning over him and whlie she had gotten over him, it was hard not to see how perfect he was. she gave him a quick hug and then shrugged just a little bit, “not too long- mum tried to get me to stay home today,” she let out a small laugh and shook her head, “but of course that would never happen, right fieldsy?” the nicknames that she had given them happened soon after she met them. she refused to call them anything else and while people thought of her as childish, she thought of it more as a thing that connected them. she wanted to feel special to them since obviously it was always nice to feel special. arya’s confidence was always low and so often times, she never thought anyone really cared about her. it was a good feeling to know that there was someone you could always rely on making you feel better though. she sat back on ledge of the stone block, her legs swinging aimlessly as they waited for dorey, “so where do you think dorey is? i bet you... five knuts that he’s over prepared as usual.” she gave him a rare silly smile before her eyes brightened at another familiar freshman.

now dorey was one of the few boys that she saw like a little brother. she never had a younger sibling and since she was the little sister, it was nice to see someone in that light. almost instantly, arya jumped up, dropped her umbrella, and gave him a tight hug. she felt like she hadn’t seen him in forever. she grinned at his comments and laughed lightly, “i knew it! we knew you’d be ready for anything.” she absolutely loved hanging out with dorey. while he didn’t have the same history as her and fields did, it made him stand out from the boys. she loved both of them so much, but they were for different reasons and in a way, she loved them in different ways. arya readjusted her backpack, “i’ve got the tickets! so all we’ve got to do is start walking and we’ll get in in no time!” she was happier than she had been in the past few weeks. being with dorey and fields made her feel that way. she knew that they both felt different around their group and she with them. it was just expected and well, they really were the golden trio.
