Making his way down to the lake was a sixteen-year-old boy, he had no reason for going down to the lake, except that he was bored. Once at the lake he looked out at the view a smirk forming on his face. Before long the boy picked up a rock and threw it as far as he could before hearing it 'plop' into the water quite far off.
Jake Bice picked up another rock and once again threw it into the lake, he hadn't done anything like this in a long time but he had nothing better to do right now. He was well and truly bored and he didn't think anything or anyone could change that.

Making her way through the grounds, Morgan spotted a boy throwing rocks at the edge of the lake. Intrigued, she walked closer, picked up a rock herself and hurled it towards the already disturbed surface of the water.
"Feels pretty good," she commented, without looking at the strange boy, but instead keeping her eyes trained on the blue of the lake.

"Er... yeah" Jake replied uncertainly as he watched the girl throw rocks into the lake, he was only doing it because he was bored, there was no other real reason. Shrugging Jake picked up another rock and threw it into the lake but as he did he felt uncomfortable silence creep over the two of them, "I'm Jake, who are you?"

"Oh, sorry, I'm Morgan," she replied, turning around to face him.
"Don't mind me, I didn't want to interrupt your...rock....throwing," she said, suddenly realizing that she must seem a little odd. Shrugging it off, she turned back toward the lake.
"So, what did the lake ever do to you?"

"It's nice to meet you Morgan" Jake said with a smile as he threw a last rock into the lake and then sat down. "It's alright, i don't mind, it's not like i own the lake or anything is it?" Jake smirked at Morgan before adding, "The lake has done nothing to me but then, it's done nothing for me either"

Morgan turned around, grinning, and said "It must've seen every single student that ever passed through Hogwarts since its opening. We're probably not the first ones throwing rocks at it, and won't be the last."
With a shrug, she sat down next to Jake and began playing with the blades of grass next to her legs.
"So, what are you doing out here throwing rocks at the lake if you don't hold a particular grudge against it?"

"You're exactly right" Jake said with a grin, "So between all of those people I am hardly likely to own it am i?"
Jake looked out across the lake which stretched for miles, it really was a pretty view. "I was bored and well... just bored" Jake shrugged, "What brought you to join me?"

"Oh gosh, so the poor lake had to endure your boredom," Morgan remarked with a teasing twinkle in her eyes.
"Me? Well, I was just drifting around the grounds when I saw you and figured that I might as well spend my time socializing...it seems like quite the popular thing to do, so I thought I'd try it." she added with a tone of sarcasm after a short pause.

"Yeap, but i wouldn't say it was poor lake, i'd say it was actually rather lucky to be good enough to spend time with me" Jake smirked as he comment, he knew that sometimes he was too self-centered for his own good but he didn't care.
Jake nodded at Morgan's responce, "Well you came to the right guy if you want to socialise, i hate silence, well except if i'm alone, i'm not going to wander around talking to myself" Jake said shaking his head at the thought of anyone doing that.

"Oh, so I suppose I should feel honored to be graced with your presence as well, huh. And you're not even throwing rocks at me, you're talking to me!" Morgan said in return, with mock suprise.

"That's the spirit!" Jake exclaimed with a grin, glad that Morgan had caught on so quickly, "And you are very lucky i'm not throwing rocks at you" he added as he picked up a rock and threw it into the lake.

"My luck better keep up then, I don't really fancy ending up in the hospital wing with a hole in my head today," Morgan said with a grin.
"So, is this usually how you spend your days ... throwing rocks?" she asked, stretching her legs out and tilting her head back to look into the sky.

"That's a very wise comment, you never know i may just simple ... get angry ... and throw a rock at you" Jake said with a grin although he knew full well that if Morgan did say the wrong thing that probably would happen, he really was too tempermental.
Jake shook his head, "No, not usually, usually i just sit and stare into the common room fire, that's when i am utterly bored but the thing is i don't remember being this bored last year" Jake sighed slightly, "I guess i'm just getting more used to the castle, much less exploring to do"

"I don't think I can be quite that infuriating, so I guess I'm safe for now," Morgan replied with a grin.
"But, I definitely see why you would usually spend your time staring at the common room fire. So much more interesting than throwing rocks," she continued, rolling over on her stomach to look at Jake. "And, trust me, this castle is bigger than you could imagine in your wildest dreams. You're sure to find some place you haven't been to before."

"Yeah you're probably safe, but you never know" Jake said playfully with a smirk, he liked Morgan, she was fun to hang out with and she often made him smile which was always something he liked.
Jake rolled his eyes, "Yeah well you should see because it's true" Jake said, "But if I kept doing that then i wouldn't have been able to meet you would I?" he added looking at Morgan, "I would have just stayed bored in front of the fire instead of having a conversation and meeting somebody new which I always like doing"
