A Morning friend (Lyrica)

Margot woke up early. She couldn't help it. She was always an early raiser. Since none of her house mates were up, Margot decided to take a run around the lake. It would be peaceful. Plus no one would be around. The sun just came up after all. She got ready and pulled her hair into a ponytail. She didn't need it in her face as she ran.

She was glad that her common room was in the dungeons. Less chance of her getting caught by a teacher. Opening the front door, she smiled. Margot was always a nature-lover. She finished a lap and took a break for a bit. Margot was lost in thought until she heard footsteps behind her. For a minute she froze, thinking it was a teacher. She was sure she wasn't breaking rules though. Turning around, she saw it was only a student. "I'm surprised to see another student up. I thought I would be the only one up this early" she said softly.

Lyra for some reason couldn't sleep, she decided to walk to the lake, despite it being early and could get sick, she loved the lake, it was the only thing to make her calm. She decided to sit near a tree but saw a girl from her house there.

"Wow, i thought only i came here early in the morning, let me guess, early riser?."

Margot smiled. "Yeah. I was always like that. It drives my family nuts. They sleep until like eight. I'm up at like five-thirty" she said. Margot couldn't help it that she loved the quite. "Are you an early raiser or is it just this one time" she asked. Most people only wake up this early once in a while, totally unlike her.

"Oh definitely an early riser," Lyra smiled "Dad said i was an early riser ever since i was little, but i think he's just exaggerating."

Margot nodded. "Glad I'm not the only one. My name's Margot" she said. Ever since she was a little girl she felt the odd one out. Getting up at five-thirty wasn't normal to her parents. To know someone else gets up early made her feel good. "Your in Hufflepuff right? I think I seen you around the common room. I don't know about you but I'm glad we're in the dungeons so we don't have to walk far to get outside" she added.

Lyra smiled at Margot, she held her hand out and said "Nice to meet you Margot, my name is Lyrica, but everyone calls me Lyra."She decided to lean on the tree,"Yep, First one in my family to be sorted into Hufflepuff. Yeah totally lucky."

Margot smiled. "I'm the first in Hufflepuff too. My mom was a Ravenclaw and my dad is a muggle. My siblings are too young to come here yet. What house's were your parents in or your siblings if you have older ones" she asked, curious.

Lyra sat kinda awestruck, they had so much in common, "Well Margot, i don't know if you'll believe me but, my mother was a muggle born, and my dad was in Ravenclaw, my sister is also in Ravenclaw too!!."

"That's neat. I guess we have things in common when it comes to family" said Margot, laughing. She finally stopped. "What do you do for fun? I like reading and hanging out with friends. I like morning runs too" she added, wondering if they had any interested in common.

Lyra smiled at Margot "Yeah!!, I love reading, but running, that's probably where we differ."

Margot smiled. "My family is like you. They don't enjoy running very often. They'll jog in the afternoon sometimes but never they never run. I don't mind through. If everyone was the same and enjoyed everything then it would be a very boring world don't you think" she said. All of her friends enjoyed different things and Margot had no problem with no one running with her. Running in the morning gave her a sense of peace before she started her day.
