Mid-Year, and it was barely breaking Summer. It was still considered spring, which was probably considered favorite season for Andromeda Black. The bright colors, the fresh flowers, and the stormy weather. The Greens and Pinks were probably the most that stood out, especially at Hogwarts. The Courtyard had the breeze of mixed flowers, which is why Andromeda hung around there - even if it was just by herself.
She didn't like hanging indoors, considering most of the Slytherin's only complained and talked trash about everyone else, other then themselves. Perched up on the stone opening of one of the windows of the hall, Andromeda held one of her newer books in between her slender fingers. On her right, sat a Gryffindor - Red hair, and beautiful eyes. She was her best friend, Lily Evans. Which, she seemed to be quieter then normal today. Which is why Andromeda had dragged her out here, into the fresh air, and away from everything else.
A faint breeze moved through the open spaces of the Courtyard, which moved her Brunette locks to only flow in front of her face. Brown, almost black eyes scanned over the first couple pages, before glancing over at Lily. She looked...distracted, just staring blankly down at the pages of the same page she had been on for more then 10 minutes. She moved the cloth of her jacket between her finger-tips, and continued with that blank expression.
"Lily? How is that book coming along?" She barely leaned over from her current position, nudging her with her elbow slightly. Lily broke from her lack of concentration, and just forced out a smile. The smile wasn't as full of light, like it always was. Not many approved of the actions that Andromeda managed to take, but she didn't accept being in Slytherin, ether. She wasn't exactly proud of a few things, a few of the measures she has taken in the past, but what is life without a little danger and risk? Boring.
A small crowd had formed in the Courtyard, but that didn't bother her. Maybe the crowds would help Lily, and not focus on what had happened, a couple nights ago. Closing her book, she placed it beside her for the time being. "Lils, Don't focus on it. That's why we are here...to break away, and to breath." What was sad with this whole thing, Lily didn't even explain everything that had happen. It was like, she had shut down, and went into some kind of defensive mode. She could tell that something had happen, though. Which is why, being the Best friend she is - attempting to cheer her up. It was killing her, not knowing the whole story, but - what is someone to do? Force isn't something Andromeda was good at.
Lily nodded, taking in a deep breath - and focused on reading for real this time. Avoiding the subject, that was something Lily was good at. All she knew, is that it had something to deal with Severus, and James. Nothing more then that. Staring at her for a brief minute, she snatched up her book - and tried to remember the last couple sentences she had read.
