Alia didn't like learning to fly in the school lessons because everyone was watching, and she didn't want the whole of the class to witness one of her shaky freak outs. She was very repulsed by heights, and they did really get her all creeped out and she just hated them in general. She tended to try and get out of lessons as best she could, with notes from the hospital wing, pretending to feel sick, using nosebleed nuggets or even fainting fancies to get out of it, or about anything else she could come up with. "That's odd. Well you should go read Quidditch through the ages some time, it gives pointers, if you've not read it already. I would try and help, but other than that book I tend to avoid flying themed things."
[/color] She said with a shrug, remembering when she first read that book. it was because she wanted some sort of help in her lessons and to try and get over her fear. It didn't help, but she did pick up some facts about the game she loved to watch. Ali laughed as he explained his madness. She also on occasion decided to answer her own questions, and then tell herself that she should have known that straight away. At least she didn't speak in third person about herself because that would have been creepy. She wasn't that mad. Yet. Ali smiled through his explanation. She understood, after all, most people thought that muggle born were wrong. She'd seen that idea in a statue that was said to have been erected in the main lobby of the ministry years ago. It was of a witch and wizard, sitting on chairs or something made of muggle borns and house elves. Yes, it was disgusting and she felt physically sick after seeing that. "I know. It's like some families main belief. Tojours Pur. And I do walk into stuff a lot."[/color] She replied easily, smiling. She did walk into stuff a lot, it was just her. Alia climbed over a few bigger branches that were strewn on the floor, lifting her feet properly and everything so she didn't fall over again. that would be bad.[/font][/size][/justify][/blockquote] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [/font][/Right][/size]

My sound travels through walls [/font]  Beats drop like waterfalls[/font][/center] Arthur nodded "Tried it, i have like two copies at home.." he said with a shrug then added "I even tried reading it as i flew but i just ended up in a bush" he wasnt exactly sure where he was going wrong with it and to be honest he didnt care it was the trying that was fun and he would just keep trying untill he mastered it and then he would move onto some other trick and so on untill he was just plain awesome at nearly every single trick of the trade there was.
Arthur noticed that the tree's seemed to be getting father apart and even though there were roots above the ground they were getting smaller. Yep were going the correct way he thought to himself then looked at Alia. "Well just dont think of it as an insult, think of yourself as a mudblood then maybe it'll be just like there saying your name, and unless you take offence by your own name you'll be fine" he said with a shrug, he wasnt sure how she should deal with it, it wasnt like he had any experience with being a muggle born.

Alia smiled when he said he had two copies. of course he did, as she'd not heard of someone who played Quidditch and hadn't read that book. She'd witnessed many teams pouring over the books in the library, trying to come up with some new play and such. Alia listened in discreetly sometimes, seeing if she could understand what they were on about. Just because she didn't fly, doesn't mean she wasn't interested in the game, as she loved to watch it, as it was always so exciting! Who would win? Who would get the house points? Would it affect the lead? It was always interesting, and she loved watching the action, it was just the heights that she hated. "Ahh not so skilful"
[/color] She said with a laugh, getting a mental image of him flying and reading, then heading straight into a garden bush. Alia could see more and more light reaching them, and the trees seemed more sparse and spread out now. It looked as though they were getting out of the forest at last. She'd be glad to be able to go and get something to eat, because she was literally starving now! She wished she'd gone to breakfast and took some food with her, just in case she got hungry. it would have been the sensible thing to do. She'd make sure to carry food with her from now on, just in case something happened and she was lost and hungry again. "I see what you mean. I'm kind of used to it now, but I know that they mean it as something degrading and I can't help but get mad at them. I hit one of them with a book repeatedly once, he didn't know it was me, because I'd managed to do a non verbal spell. He couldn't even do that"[/color] She said with a smug smile, proud that she'd managed that magic. Alia had practiced for ages to be able to do it mind, and it didn’t work all the time. She’d kept her wand hidden in the sleeve of her robe, so he didn’t notice her slight movements when she made the books move into his face. Ahh that had been funny, and she was glad that they were deep in the library otherwise she could have been thrown out, and she’d taken to spending quite some time in there occasionally, especially when she had homework to write and needed the use of books that she didn’t own. She’d also go in there and read sometimes, about other magical things, finding out all she could about the world that she lived in. She would buy a house in a magical dwelling place, she’d decided earlier in the year, and so when she left she’d have a magical home.[/size][/justify][/blockquote][/font] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [/font][/Right][/size]

My sound travels through walls [/font] Beats drop like waterfalls[/font][/center] Arthur laughed "Well you try reading a book whilst flying, you cant even do the flying bit" he said sticking his tongue out at her childishly. He liked her and he was sure they would be good friends but he had quidditch skills and he would own her if she mentioned them. Obviously he was just messing with her though, he wasnt the type to actually be mean to someone, it wasnt his style.
"Well you have nothing to be ashamed of, you cant help who you are and your amazing so dont let anyone make you feel bad about being you because you are you and you rock." he said, it made perfect sense to him but his overuse of the word you could possibly have made that sentence more confusing then it realy should have been. "Meh im not that good at non verbal spells.. but i can whispers spells realy quietly so people can only realy see what i said if they read my lips" he told her with a shrug, it was good to be able to use spells without saying them but it wasn't a skill he necessarily needed.

Alia could anticipate that he was going to mention her flying skills which really did fail. basically because she had none. As long as she stayed like, practically on the ground she was fine, she could hover above the grass and stuff, but any higher and she got freaked out. She liked to be able to have her feet touching the ground if they needed to be because it always felt so solid and safe. Yes, she liked the safe feeling, it made her feel much better. Her brothers hugs always managed to make her feel safe, and she loved how they did it, it was like some sort of magic. Maybe he was using non verbal spells! "Okay, well I can speed read which means that I could probably finish the book in half the time that you could anyway"
[/color] She said, poking her tongue back out at him. She couldn't really speed read, she could almost do it though! Sometimes she'd have to go back and re-read a sentence because the first time she read it, it didn't make sense. the trick was to just pick out the important words and you could assume the rest of the sentence because it was the important words that mattered, the rest of the words just joined them together. Alia was kind of lost in that sentence, as many uses of 'you' had confused her, but she recited it back to herself in her head and it made sense after hearing it three times. She blushed as he'd called her amazing. There were only a few people who had called her that, one of them being her brother, another being her mom, and another was some fifth year boy who had apparently had a crush on her. She'd practically ran away because he was a weird kid. And not weird as in good weird, but weird as in, really bad and freaky weird. Yeah, there were a few definitions of weird, although Alia was sure that Arthur was definitely good weird. "thank you! And you've only known me a few hours, I'm sure I'll start to get on your nerves eventually!"[/color] She joked as he'd mentioned her rocking. "It took a while to get, and it still doesn't work all the time, but sometimes, I just need to concentrate."[/color] Alia said, noting that now it was light enough to extinquish her wand. She watched the tip of it and concentrated on the result of the magic she wanted to do. nox[/color] She thought to herself, and sure enough, the light from the wand tip went out, and Alia smiled, taking a few more steps forward. she assmued that it wouldn't be long before they had emerged on the grounds, and she was glad that she'd met Arthur in the forest, she could tell that they would be good friends.

My sound travels through walls [/font] Beats drop like waterfalls[/font][/center] "I can kind of.. i mean i can like quickly skim the lines and understand it but if someone told me to skim a page then tell them what it said i wouldnt be able to because i'd just have a vague idea and not the actual words" he said with a shrug, Arthur was just weird like that, he'd get the point it was trying to make but he wouldnt remember what words it used. Arthur had a feeling that going into the forest was a good idea, it turns out it was, he had made a new friend.. maybe he should trust his gut instinct more often.
"Ive put up with Beth all my life, im sure i can put up with you" he said with a laugh, Beth was one major pain in the butt sometimes. "well its cool that you can do it, maybe if i get the time i'll learn how to do it and we'll have like a silent duel or something" he said with a shrug, he didnt think he would learn it though, but you never know.

"That's all it is, you pick up on the main words and practically guess the rest of the sentence, and your done. It's handy when you forget about homework and want to get it done fast"
[/color] Alia explained with a smile, remembering all those times that speed reading had come in handy. She'd used it a few times when writing an essay and trying to find out certain information that was in a huge book, and she'd just look for one word and find it fast and then read the information she needed and then she'd be done. Yes, it was a rare thing, her forgetting about her homework, she usually just put it off a lot, but there were times when she genuinely did forget. Like when she'd forgotten to pay attention to where she was going earlier, which, incidentally, had been a good thing because she'd made a new friend. "Point. well then, we'll see if you can handle me"[/color] She joked, smiling over at him. "I'll teach you, as payment for the singing lessons"[/color] She joked, not knowing if he was serious, or if she could even teach someone to do that, as she wasn't patient enough to teach sometimes. Alia grinned as she stepped out of the trees at last, and feeling the sun warm her skin. It felt so refreshing to have the lazy breeze skim over her skin, and she'd missed that feeling because the trees had stopped it from reaching her. "well I guess, we're out, huh? It's been nice meeting you Arthur, and I'll see you again later."[/color] Ali said with a grin, pulling him into a quick hug, before wandering off in the direction of the castle, and then on toward the kitchens so she could go and get some food and drink. well today hadn't been that bad at all!

My sound travels through walls [/font] Beats drop like waterfalls[/font][/center] "Oh, well i can do it then" Arthur said with a shrug, he'd do it like all the time, sure he'd make a few mistakes but still as long as he got the basic information needed that's all that mattered to him. Arthur never forgot his homework, he'd do it like the night after it was set so he would have all this free time to do whatever he wanted to do. Unless it got piled on then he'd do one, take a break, do another then take another break and so on untill it was all done.
"Easy" Arthur said simply, he was sure he could put up with anything Alia said or did. "Sure" he said with a smirk then smiled as they got out of the forest Thank god for that he thought to himself glad to be out of the death trap that was the forest. "Cya Alia" he said watching her walk off as he wondered towards the lake unsure what to do now. Stand tall, never fall [/font][/size][/center] Wearing: Outfit
