The Day Dawn is Breaking...[Open]

[Esmerelda Mizart]

Alright, so maybe it was weird that Esmerelda was up on the roof at 7:00 in the morning to watch the sunrise. But she just couldn't sleep. Her mind was going a mile a minute and boy, did she feel good. Brandon was back and he was alive. Although he had some bruises, he was just fine, great even. Those unfortunate bruises were from his brother but it turned out allright. She hated when they fought because of her but she knew it pretty much had to happen. Brandon swore to keep a secret and he told her. Why? Because she happened to tell him her deep, dark secret. Why? She had no flippin idea why she told a stranger in their first hour of meeting, her secret. But she did. And it only got worse from there.

Or should we say, better. Their connection was strong and noticable. Soon, everyone was gossiping about Brandon and Es and although she wanted to deny their obvious chemistry, she couldn't. Es brushed some black hair out of her eyes and stared at the sun. It looked like the sky was on fire. It was beautiful. It didn't compare to Romania's sunrises, but it would do just fine for her. Sooner or later, [or sooner], they were official. Well, right after Dean disappeared without a word. But she didn't want to think about that. And even sooner after that, he had to leave to find his Brother. She was heartbroken but strode on and even sooner after that, he was back. Now Dean was back and she was just as happy as can be.

Her life seemed as if it was at it's happy peak. The only thing that she could complain about were those tiny feelings she still held for Dean. But they weren't a problem, right?

[Jeremy Grey]

With a stretch, a yawn and a very reluctant roll, Jeremy was out of bed and up at the crack of dawn. He hated how incapable of sleeping in he was and he blamed jet lag for that. It was hard to be switch back and forth between California's time zone and Hogwarts'. Jeremy was so messed up from the change and now he was wide awake. Looking at his watch, he saw what time it was a groaned, knowing he wasn't getting back to sleep any time soon.

Pulling on a sweater and his shoes, Jeremy ventured out of the Common Room, still in his pjs and headed out. He didn't really know where he was going, but he reached some stairs and just kept climbing. Before he knew it, he was up on the roof, faced with another soul already there. He couldn't really believe someone else was as unfortunate as him to be up right now as well, but then he recognized who it was and a smile crossed his face.
"Hey you," Jeremy greeted the girl.

[Esmerelda Mizart]

Es was so deep in thought that she hadn't noticed the Hufflepuff coming up from behind her until she heard his voice. She let out a little gasp and if you wanted to exaggerate, you could say she jumped into the air a few inches from suprise. She looked up with a dreamy grin on her face, happy to see it was Jeremy. She didn't know him all that well but considered him enough of a friend to be comfortable with him on the roof.

"Hiya. What are you doing on the roof at this hour, young man?"

She asked him teasingly. She knew the question would be redirected at her but she didn't mind it. Okay, so Es wasn't acting like Es and she was very smiley and bubbly. Most would call it lovestruck. For Brandon, right? It wasn't just because Dean was back in town. Of course not, Brandon was back from his dangerous mission and one of her best friends was back in town, that could make any girl giggly as she.

[Jeremy Grey]

"I could ask you the same thing, young lady," Jeremy joked back, taking a few steps closer to the girl. He noticed the way she was grinning at him and the look in her eye. He raised a curious eyebrow and chuckled at her, wondering what had got her into such a great mood. She was all giggly and Jeremy knew perfectly well that a boy must be involved.
"What's put you in such a giggly mood?" he asked the girl with a grin.

[Esmerelda Mizart]

She rolled her eyes playfully, knowing it was coming the moment she had said the words she had said. Es brushed some black hair out of her blue eyes and looked up at him.

"Do you wanna sit down?"

She asked him with a soft smile that so obviously wanted to explode. There also might've been another reason for her giggliness, the reason she didn't get enough sleep last night. She was up for forever because her giddyness wouldn't let her sleep. Then she woke up, wide awake and knew she wasn't getting back to sleep. All in all, the reasons were all mixed together and was it such a bad thing that she was as happy as she was? No. It was just strange to the people who knew Es best. Or, used to know her that is. Now she was a changed woman. She shrugged her shoulders.

"The boys are back in town.."

She replied mysteriously.

[Jeremy Grey]

The confused look on Jeremy's face didn't change, even as he sat down beside the girl. He just kind of looked at her for a moment, not really sure what she was talking about.
"Are there really some guys back in town or are you quoting the song?" Jeremy questioned her with a chuckle. It would make her giddiness make more sense if someone who she missed had returned, but Jeremy didn't really know Es well enough to know who it was that had made like this. All the same, he was still glad to see her so happy. He didn't like it when his friends were down and seeing Es so happy was cheering him up as well.

[Esmerelda Mizart]

She had forgotten that there was a song about that. Maybe she had pulled that line out of her subconcious, either way, she thought it worked perfectly with the situation. She grinned and brushed some hair out of her face.

"A couple of my best friends are back in town and here to stay. You probably know them, they go here.."

She told him excitedly, looking out at the sunrise. Perhaps she should have been tired, considering she hadn't gotten much sleep last night, meeting a new Slytherin and writing her mother's letter, but she wasn't. She was happy and giddy, and glad to spend time with Jeremy.

[Jeremy Grey]

"Doubt I know them, Es," Jeremy answered with a grin, "I don't really know anyone here except you." The Huffle laughed softly and leaned against the wall and surveyed the girl and her smile. He grinned again, her giddiness was just infectious and he couldn't help but feel happy too. Jeremy liked that feeling, just being happy for no reason other than a friend being happy. With a sly grin, Jeremy spoke again.
"Let me guess," he began, "At least one of these 'best friends' is a boy, and somebody's got a crush on them, correct?"

[Esmerelda Mizart]

She shrugged casually and breathed on her nails like she was a big shot.

"Can't say that's a bad thing.."

She said, polishing them on her shirt, now. Then Es grinned at him and shook her head to show she was teasing. She listened to his guess and shook her head, brushing black hair out of her blue eyes.

"Annnnn!! Wrong answer, Jeremy, but thank you for playing, and come again.."

She loved being so goofy. She felt carefree and wonderful. Something she hadn't felt since Landon was alive. She let out a laugh, closing her eyes tight and just laughing and liking the feeling of laughing. And perhaps he thought she didn't get enough sleep last night but that was okay with her. Es opened her eyes.

"Both of them are boys and one is my boyfriend.."

And the other I have deep feelings for.. She thought. But she didn't think she'd need to mention that.
