To Fight In The Dark continuation. ((OPEN))

The hood of her black robe was up, covering her head gracefully. Few people, even in the wizarding world, could actually pull off the mysterious look and thankfully, she didn’t have to try hard. Aja was made to be mysterious, her dark blue eyes icy, her blonde hair falling brilliantly without her having to try hard. It helped with her whole, ‘daughter of Death Eater’s’ image.

Alone, Aja stood on the banks of the Great Lake, looking out over the calm waters. She found herself thinking about how the day had gone. Potions Class had sucked, Defence Against the Dark Arts was a waste of everyone’s time and Transfiguration was slower than a wet week through no fault of Professor Winters. It was as though her life had simply stopped dead since she moved to Hogwarts – as though the site of the death of Voldemort had simply stopped moving forward.

Soon enough, her thoughts were almost a tangible whisper, soon things are going to get interesting. Looking back to the castle she rolled her eyes and actually whispered. “I really hope so anyway. This whole boring school is starting to get on my nerves.” For the time being though, she decided to watch the way the sinking moon reflected off the Lake.

[Professor Caelia Winters]

"I really hope so anyway. This whole boring school is starting to get on my nerves." Caelia stood not that far from the young woman who at one stage, was looking to be her sister in law. Aja didn't see her though, over Caelia's normal robes, a robe of disillusionment was draped nicely.

She wasn't completely invisible but Aja was still close enough to push into the Lake. For one moment, Caelia actually thought about doing it but she was a teacher now. She couldn't just go pushing students into the Lake. Well bother, who knew that actually teaching what I knew could eventually be so boring. Instead, she removed the cloak and draped it over her arm beneath her black robes.

"Well, Aja, going for a stroll in the moonlight?" The student jumped, spinning around with her wand in her hands. "Back down Hamilton, it's me, Caelia." She lowered the hood she'd pulled over her head and watched recognition flood into Aja's eyes.

"Jesus, I almost cursed you!" Returning her wand into her robes, Aja continued. "You'd have been bleeding until next week."

The teacher raised an eyebrow, "I don't think so." Aja audibly gulped and her eyes flickered to where the cloak rested over Caelia's arm. "Anyway, why are you walking around at this ungodly hour? Anyone could be here, as we've already established." She rose the cloak and waited for an answer.
