Her long black hair whipped in the wind as she pulled her cloak around her with her left hand. It was a nice, but windy day for a Saturday at Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, nothing would stop this girl from going to her favorite spot in the entire school, outside of the library, to sit and enjoy her time writing in her journal.
This girl was Mariana Gear, a seventh year Gryffindor. She had been waking up for the last month with nightmares of her biological parents. Most of the nightmares were the same, night after night. Her parents always left her in the doorway of an unsuspecting wizarding family. Mariana didn't know her parents well. She knew only their faces from the six months of her life that she was with them, after she was born. The reason that Mariana wanted to come to the lake, was to escape reality. To escape all the times she had had problems with guys having broken up with her, or losing friends. This was the place that she first saw the guy of her dreams. The guy who knew nothing about her.

Justin was going for a run around Hogwarts campus alone he ran at a steady pace. *left right left right breath in breath out* Justin had been running for about 5 miles now. He didn't really know how far. Justin's mind wandered as the sounds of his feet pounding on the grass and the wind russling the leaves on the trees. He was in his zone he had almost failed his mission last night. He could never fail. Run just keep running Justin thought.
Justin ran past a couple of groups of girls chatting they waved and gave seductive smiles in his direction. He ignored them. He was in his own world. The girls chattered about him one spoke up and said, "I think he winked at me" another said "He looked at me" they bantered along as Justin was out of their view.
Sweat ran down Justin's bare back he saw the sun reflect gracefully upon the great lake it was a good time for a swim. He ran towards the water and stopped at the edge of the water he took off his shoes and dove into the water.

Mariana found her favorite spot, right by the lake. A shady tree out of everyone's sight. She loved it here. She hadn't been paying any attention to her surroundings as she walked. As she took her spot under the tree, she saw something moving in the water. She figured that it was just the Giant Squid lolling about.
Mariana felt a sudden burst of anxiety. Her eyes blanketed over, giving her an airy look plaster on her face. She would see him today. She would talk to...the man of her dreams.

The cool water took all of the air from Justin's lungs as he entered. He swam up to the surface and breathed in deeply and let the cool refreshing air back into his body and let the air fill him up completely. Justin looked towards the shore and saw a couple of Slytherins coming his way all of them laughing about some mischief they had just caused to some Ravenclaw first year.
Other girls came down to the lake with their towel to apparently 'suntan' even though it was a little too windy for those kinds of activities. Yet the wind was dieing down and the warmth from the sun was beating down on the students bodies warming them from the inside out.
Threw all the newly crowded grounds Justin saw a girl sitting by the tree alone. How odd was it to see people by themselves now a days. No one was ever sure of themselves enough to be alone always having to be around people.
Justin heard his name being shouted and swam to the shore and came out of the water with pellets of water rushing down his toned body.

Mariana sat in that very spot. Justin. She heard his name and it was like she was falling to the bottom of the lake. A sudden thought occured to her. She was now surrounded by people, coming to the lake.
Mariana didn't appreciate this much, and wanted to just go back into the comfort of the castle. However, she was much too afraid to miss a chance of talking to Justin. She pulled out a quill and her journal, and began writing, trying to ignore the Slytherin God.

Justin walked over to his fellow Slytherins he would never consider them friends. He looked around and looked them in the face and wondered how many of these faces would turn and run in the other direction and who would stay and fight with him... The boys were telling him how they were picking on this Ravenclaw first year and how Potter tried to stop them. SO they changed his pants invisible right in front of Cho Chang.
Justin stayed silent they were trying to be bad. And failing. They were seeking his approval he gave a small grin to appease them. One of the guys conjured up a chair for Justin to sit in. The girls coming into their group were smiling and very flirtatious. One had enough nerve to come by Justin and put their hand on his chest while saying something she thought was humorous. They saw he was paying no attention to them and turned their attentions to the girl sitting by the tree sitting silently writing in a book. "Look at that nerd" One of the girls shouted. "I believe she is a Gryffindor one of you guys should have some fun with her..."
One of the guys trying to impress the girl took out his wand and pointed into the direction of the Gryffindor girl.

Mariana shot her head up, because she thought that someone had been talking about her. She looked all around, and saw a guy pointing his wand at her. She saw that it was a group of Slytherins, but she could not make out the face of the boy that was pointing the wand in her direction.
Mariana took out her wand, discreetly and placed it by her side, waiting for the first attack.

The Slytherin boy shouted a spell and flicked his wand. Green sparks flew threw the air. Before the sparks could get to Mariana Justin flicked his wand and the slytherin's spell bounced and hit the Slytherin boy back in the face. It was now covered with boils and swollen. The slytherin group laughed at the boy. None of them had seen Justin even move. He was too swift for them.
"Bring him the hospital wing... and Greg be more careful with your spell wouldn't want that mishap to happen in a real duel." Justin laughed and listened to majority of the group get up and leave. A couple girls stayed behind, "Justin..." one small blonde spoke out to him, "would you like to join me in a walk?" Justin didn't even turn towards the girl, "Sorry not today..."
The girl was still persistent though and asked, "What about a massage I noticed you have gotten some more bruises... you could come up to the girls room and I assure you, you'll feel as good as new." Justin finally looked at the girl. "Sounds like a good offer Sandra. I will be up there in a bit. Get everything ready for me."
Sandra beamed with glee and skipped off to per pair. Justin was now alone head tilted back and eyes shut letting his body absorb the suns powerful rays.

Mariana was green with envy. She could barely make out Justin's body. She figured that it wasn't even worth it, but she had already had a plan in her head. Mariana stood up off of the ground.
"Accio wand." She was too lazy to bend over and get the wand.
She planted a big smile on her face. Mariana tried to remain confident as she moved toward where Justin was. She figured that this would be time time where they would actually meet.

Justin heard the Gryffindor girl stand up and walk towards his direction. She had probably saw what he had done. She should feel lucky he stopped Greg and also lucky she had actually seen Justin do a good deed especially towards a student from Gryffindor.
"Come sit" Justin shouted out towards the girl. "I assume you saw what I had done..."

Mariana stopped in her tracks. She was so surprised by his voice, that she dropped her stuff on the ground.
"I...I don't know what you're talking about." The girl stammered.
Mariana was unable to move any further. She scrambled to pick up her stuff that she had dropped on the ground. She felt so stupid.

Justin with not even moving his body cast a spell that picked up all of Mariana's belongings and put them into her bag.
Justin sat up and looked at the girl, "Are you nervous around me? I have noticed that a lot are. Some for good reasons... But why do you fear me?"
Justin thought she would give it to him straight. Not many did. Sandra's voice came back into Justin's head, "massage" How good did that sound about now.

Okay, Mariana. This is just your imagination. She thought to herself. If it was her imagination, she wouldn't, rather shouldn't be scared to tell him about herself.
"Its not really that I am afraid of you." Mariana looked at the ground smiling and blushing. "I'm sorry. I really didn't introduce myself. My name is Mariana Gear, seventh year Gryffindor. I am also a seer."

Justin's ears perked up, "A seer eh? Maybe one day you could perdict my future. It is always good to have those who are well gifted and blessed on your side."
Justin trailed off, "Mariana Gear of Gryffindor, it is a pleasure to meet you..." Justin took Mariana's hand to his face and to his lips slowly he moved his lips closer to her hand and gentle touched her skin. "I am Justin Riddle, it is a pleasure to meet you." Justin lifted his eyes away from her hand and moved them up towards her eyes and was trying to read her.

Mariana was lost in his eyes. She never thought that she could be this entranced by one person. She took a deep breath. "I think it is about time for lunch, would you like to join me?" The girl's smile seemed entrancing. Her piercing blue eyes shining in the sun.

Justin stomach was starting to get angry with him for not eating anything since last night and it was well past in the middle of the afternoon. "Yes I think that would be a good idea. I have not eaten yet."
Justin stood up slowly with his aching muscles he turned towards Mariana and held out her hand so that she can pull on him to get up. "Maybe once we are there you can see if you can see my future..." Justin spoke in a calm voice. Justin's tattoo on his chest was hurting. He had the Death Eater mark on his forearm yet this is one only for his Uncle and his communication. Justin's "Uncle" was pleased with his success last night. The pain from it caused Justin to close his eyes and once the pain was gone slowly opening them to see Mariana's worried face looking at him. "Its nothing..." Justin said with authority so she wouldn't ask any more questions about it. "Shall we?"

"Um...wouldn't you like to...I don't know. Put on a shirt, first?" Mariana asked shyly.
She was actually waiting to see this guy's future. She didn't think that it would be possible to see anyone else's but her own at this moment. She was very out of practice. She would of course try.

Justin looked down and saw she was right and he did not have a shirt on.
"are you trying to imply that you want me to cover myself with out being rude?" Justin laughed, "I hope my body doesn't want to make you projectile vomit everywhere" Justin laughed as he was joking with her. Justin bent down and picked up his shirt and pulled it over his head. It was just a simple white t. Justin and Mariana walked threw the halls and everyone seemed to be staring at the two of them. Justin opened the door for Mariana and walked in after her. They sat down at the Slytherin table because Justin had a special spot. And 3 little house elves came over and brought them some fresh food. Justin drank some butterbeer or what people could only assume was butterbeer. and then looked toward Mariana.
"Do you think you can give my future a try?"

Mariana was trying to focus on him, but there were a bunch of people staring at the two of them. It was making her feel a little bit uncomfortable. "You know, it would be easier...if people weren't staring. I...sorry."
Mariana began nibbling at the food that was in front of her. She ate without noticing exactly what it was she was eating. She did the same with her drink.
"You know, not many people like me, at least I don't think they do."

Justin took a bite out of his food. "Now why do you think people don't like you? Do you actually give them a chance to like you? I noticed you were sitting alone do you do that often?"
Justin looked around and noticed people were staring... Justin snapped his fingers and the little house elves came out and put up blinders all around the two of them.
"Is that better?"

Mariana blushed. "You noticed that I was alone? I mean, of course...I should really be quiet now...shouldn't I?"
Mariana bit down on her lip. She was focusing on Justin's future, more than she was anything else. Her face went blank and her eyes looked airy, again. If anyone else were watching this, they would think she were a freak. Which is the reason she thought that people didn't like her, but would never say it aloud. Especially not in front of Justin.
Mariana saw a girl touching Justin's back. Massaging it. She shook her head in disgust. "You're getting a back rub from a frumpy looking Slytherin girl."
Apparently the 'frumpy looking Slytherin girl', was really close to them or had been walking by, because Mariana heard a hiss and a strain of insults. She shrugged it all off.

Justin's eyes widened, "Sandra?!? Oh dear please tell me she isn't in my future. She would suck the life out of me." Justin rolled his eyes and shouted to the outside of the barrier.
"Those who DARE ease drop will pay the price for it very shortly..." His voice echoed threw out the hall. A knock came. "Enter Snape" Just then Snape came threw the boarder and was standing there with his greasy hair looking From Justin to Marisa, "Letter for you Riddle." Justin took the letter and paid no attention to Snape once finishing it. Justin turned to Snape and noticed he was still there, "You can go now..." Justin heard Snape mutter something under his breath. Justin stood up and faced Snape, "What did you say. I think you need to speak UP SNAPE don't make me have to deal with you..." Snape right hand hit his left forarm and he was in pain. "Too late" Justin said as Snape was leaving the Great Hall.
"Sorry about that..." Justin said to Marissa

Mariana ignored the intruders in her presences. She focused more on Justin's future. Her face was blank, yet again. It was something that was really confusing.
Mariana saw Justin and herself sitting in a dark room, the only lighting was two candles on the table that had food on it. The room had a high ceiling and had glass showing the shining stars above.
The girl came back to her senses quickly. She wondered if she should question Justin or not.
"Justin, do you know of a room that has a high ceiling and glass showing the night sky?" Mariana asked curiously.

Justin had taken a couple of girls to the spot that Mariana was speaking of. It gets the girls in the right mood so Justin can get what he wants out of them.
Justin thought to himself Did she see I take her there? Would I take her there? She is after all a Gryffindor. May not even be a pureblood for all I know... I mean she is cute but not my type.
Justin went on thinking about what Mariana told him about the room and noticed it was a long silent pause between them while Justin was thinking. The room was silent yet the Great Hall was filled with noises in the background.
Justin decided not to tell her about this spot so that he wouldn't have some explaining to do... "No I don't believe I have heard of a room like that around Hogwarts but it is a magical place so who knows..."

"Oh. Okay. Well, I guess it was a mistake then." Mariana shrugged. "Would you like to know more, or shall I stop?"
Mariana giggled silently. She couldn't believe that she was here. She didn't really care about the silence. She pulled her journal out of her bag.

"No it is ok I don't like to know too much about the future... I like to figure it out when it happens..."
Justin noticed Mariana took out her journal again, "What do you write in there?" Justin questioned.
As Mariana was just opening her mouth Sandra came threw the door and spoke in an angrily bitter tone, "Sorry to interrupt but Justin I do believe I have an appointment with you" She winked at him and then looked over to Mariana and gave her a big accomplished smile "You can go your innocent eyes might not be able to handle the scene. Besides Justin's pity party for you is over..."

Mariana took out her wand and pointed it at Sandra. "Don't tempt me, Frumpy. I'll duel with you right here, right now."
Mariana's eyes flashed a violent crimson color, before returning back to her beautiful blue eye color. Innocence. Everyone thought that was what Mariana was all about, but they were all wrong. Mariana tried to stay out of trouble, but sometimes i just didn't work. This would end up being one of those times.

"And girls says boys always fight because of their testosterone..." Justin joked.
"Alrighty now Sandra go be a ***** to someone else for a bit... kay"
"How dare you... After... after everything... I was just another girl?"
"Sandra you only wanted me for my power now go before I get angry."
Justin turned back to his food and started to eat some ham and mashed potatoes.
"How is your food Mariana?" Justin asked pulling the focus back to them too.
Sandra stormed off.
OOC:// HORRIBLE SORRY.

Mariana sat there shocked. She never thought that Justin would do something like this. "Did you want to know what my last vision was, or would you like to play it by ear."
Mariana picked up her goblet of pumpkin juice and drank it, after putting her wand back in her pocket. "Oh, and to answer your previous question, I write stories. That and whatever is on my mind. It keeps me sane."
