Needing Audrey Time |AUDREY|

Sasha sighed as she leaned against the stone railing, blowing a strand of hair from in front of her face. It felt an age had passed since she'd last seen her sister. In all ways but by blood, Audrey Blake was Sasha Lux's younger sister. They even resembled each other, a bit - perhaps in the color of their hair or the shape of their facial features. No matter what anyone said or whoever appeared in their lives, Sasha knew that in her heart, Audrey would always be the most important person. She'd been by her side for so many years that is was frightening to think of what might happen if she suddenly disappeared or was swept away. It was why Sasha had been so outspoken against Audrey's relationship with Micah Nott the year before. She felt silly thinking back on it now, knowing the two were still in a relationship. If the reason Audrey had been making herself scarce for so long was because of that boy, Sasha told herself she'd kill him with her own two hands.

Looking at the watch on her wrist - a present from Mr. and Mrs. Blake upon her seventeenth birthday - Sasha noted the time. She'd written Audrey, hoping it would catch her attention more so than walking up to her in the hallway would. It felt that a letter would make matters seem more urgent. But the younger girl was late. She hadn't arrived at the time Sasha had requested and now she, the seventh year Slytherin girl, was stuck on a stone bridge at Hogwarts looking as if she had no friends. How humiliating it would be if a rumor started to spread about her spending time along. Surely, the student populace would spin a juicy tale of her having broken it off with a recent boyfriend, though she did not have one, or that she was being shunned for some made-up thing she'd done. Already impatient, she tapped her nails against the stone, frowning when no noise was made from the impact. "Audrey Blake, hurry here now," she grumbled to herself, looking out at the scenery in front of her.
