The usual sensations of wanting to exit her tight, dark dorm room filled Lie's whole body. She only merely hated the fact staying in this dorm room, and including the fact that she has to stay with a couple other girls. The Headmaster probably thought it was better for the young vampire to remain in a room with the least amount of occupants (especially after Lie insisted strongly on that matter), and so came about this room which contained only two other Slytherin girls. What she hated was the Headmaster knowing, for Lie never trusted those of high superiority, even if her parents seem as such, but her parents were a different stories, and so were schools. The Headmasters could break a secret in a matter of moments, but her father had had an honor of keeping secrets and would never do anything along the lines of exposing them, and so was Lie. She hated Headmasters, but liked Professors. It seemed as such a weird combination, but wasn't it already known that Lie was weird... and different. Not that she hated it, but it felt as if she was the only one there, as if there was a huge bubble separating her form other people, a huge bubble in which contained a dark cloud above her. She didn't hate that fact - quite the contrary. It seemed like she did like being different, whether it was in her blood type, or in personality, since everyone seemed very distant. Everyone hated suppressing their emotions, but it was their only choice, even Lie hated that, but she would never have liked people knowing her every move - her every single emotion. It felt very... frightening. Thoughts of her boggart filled her head: she could remember the boggart turning into herself... a crying Lie. She flinched at that mere thought, because Lie only hated crying, all vampires hated showing any emotions. They are already known as cold creatures, but it was the complete opposite, but since people already contained corrupted thoughts about them, they seemed to have kept that reputation. Sure, they have no "heart," but it doesn't mean that they would like to kill humans in order to get what they needed, well, excluding some very few Vampires.
Lie absently started slipping the cover above herself, whilst sitting straight up on her bed. She hadn't been intending on sleeping, since she rarely ever did that act, but she could very much state that she wanted to think. Being alone in this cold, dark room seemed to be one of the very few options, seeing as many other people visited so many places past curfew. Rarely anyone is inside; they all wanted to break the rules, attempt to be cool in their own definition. Lie tried her best not to roll her eyes at that thought, as she stood up, brushing her clothes off. As usual, she had a cloak covering her dress - and yes, Lie was wearing a dress in school for no occasion. It was merely a habit to wear such corseted dresses, since she had done that ever since birth, taught by her parents to be formal. Lie saw no use in changing her habit whilst in Hogwarts, and so, remained in a position in which to wear formal dresses all the time (not necessarily evening gowns or such, merely casual), except, of course, when the morning arrives and she should wear uniforms, of which she hated completely. The uniform seemed too... school-ish, to be described fully. Lie loved studying, but she hated zoning off in class because of the many boring voices around, since then, she might day dream and find herself abruptly awaken by a Professor. It wasn't fun, but it surely did interrupt class, even if it was accidentally. Detention was something very rare for Lie, and when she does have detention, it never was as fun as everyone stated, especially when she sits alone in class and stares into space. If she was doing something more interesting during detention, like cleaning the trophies (she always wanted to do some action rather than sit still for hours), or being taken to the Forbidden Forest. She never minded that place, mainly because it seemed to imitate the area around her house, which also consisted of many, thick trees that formed forests along the edges. It was almost impossible for anyone to enter her house, as her parents made sure of that fully, placing spells, but they never were afraid, they were, after all, vampires. Besides, her father would remove all spells when they were having formal occasions, balls or anything along those lines.
She allowed the hood of the cloak to cover her head, forcing her to appear more like Little Red Riding Hood, except with a dark, black cloak. This time, she rolled her eyes seriously at that thought. She was somewhat a fan of nursery rhymes, but folktales like Little Red Riding Hood was merely too childish for her now. Her hair fell gracefully against her pale features, and even if her cloak was covering her head, it failed to cover the strands of dark hair falling. Walking towards the wooden door of the empty room, she opened it slowly, the familiar creaking sound of wood being opened hit her ears, as it seemed to get less shriekier by the day. As she exited the room, she barely made any noise. She wasn't tip-toeing around or anything, but it merely was a habit she was used to, walking unnoticed and quietly. It was clearly past curfew, seeing as the common room was empty. Some were sleeping, and others were sneaking around in the middle of the night. It was only too typical that it became too boring for her, but there was one place that most definitely would never be too boring, well, Lie could think of three places, but she decided to visit only one place. Her feet clicked softly against the cold stoned floor, as the only sound heard now was her deep intakes of breaths and the unnerving silence. Her piercing green eyes searched the dungeons as she climbed out of the Slytherin Common Room and into those dark hallways, but only to be greeted by silence. Lie started to make her way towards the exit of Hogwarts, but many stairs had lingered upon the place that many people, especially first years, would naturally get lost, but Lie would never have thought that would happen to her seeing as Vampire instincts are rather too strong. People stated Vampires were bats - animals - but they never did deny that fact now, did they. As the night folded its dark wings upon Lie, she finally reached the exit, her feet walking away from the stoned hallways of Hogwarts. Lie was instantly greeted by the refreshing breath in which she loved to take in every single time. She always almost smiles as greeted by such, but she shrugged that thought off. Her instincts dragged her once again towards the darkness of the forest, in which was forbidden yet not forbidden for Lie. How could such a thing be forbidden, yet everything in it is not forbidden? That's how life probably works. Deeper and deeper her legs carried her, but it wasn't because she was lost, it was only because of the fact that there was a certain tree she wanted to go towards. Finally, the young Half-Vampire reached the tree she planned on visiting. It was one of the very few places that allowed her to think, probably because she felt a deep connection to it since it was the same wood as her wand. Seating herself under it, she rested her head upon the hard wood of the Yew Tree... it was such a beautiful tree, yet it was dark in many ways, seeing as Yew trees are symbolic of death and resurrection, but Lie really did like this tree. She could feel another wind blowing against her pale cheeks, and the sound of silence also filled the place, making her body relax abruptly; her emerald green eyes remained fixed upon the crescent shining along the sky.
