Drawing in common room (open)

Guest

Sasha had done her homework for today already and was now trying to draw there things. She wasn't really trying to draw anything. She was doing something with pencil and then erasing it. She couldn't decided on what she wanted to do.

She had no idea how long she had been drawing there now. She was sure it has been for awhile since her hand did hurt already bit. She put her pencil down and sighed. She looked up from her sketchbook towards the fireplace what gave the warmth to the room.

Sasha looked soon back at her sketchbook. She had drawn there a flower what was very odd looking. Every thorne of flower was in different shape and even leafs were different. She needed to find a way how to fix it. So she began to erase some pencil lines once again. She hopes to finish this flower soon.

Elenore let out a soft sigh to herself as she exited the library and headed back down towards her Common Room. Her studies were somewhat tedious in that moment, not allowing her the freedom she wished to experience in the castle now that she didn't have to worry for her brother's prying eyes at every turn. It was something she'd been looking forward to, in truth, being completely away form every Clement that existed.

But, being a fifth year, who had not chosen to drop any subjects, meant that Elenore was swamped with work that she had to get finished.

Her bag was laden with books -- something that the House Elves had been much too happy to aid her with, by taking it back to her room for her -- that she would need to finish essays with, but she was not going to allow this to get the better of her just yet.

Tapping on the barrels to the tune of Helga Hufflepuff, Elenore followed the earthy passageway -- honestly how had this not been made ore livable in all the years Hogwarts had been open? -- before emerging in the Hufflepuff Common Room. Emerging in to the room, Elenore took in the presence of her fellow dorm mate, Sasha and moved to sit by the witch. Taking in what she was doing, Elenore wondered what kind of flower the other witch was drawing, it didn't look like one Elenore recognised, in honesty...

"Hi Sasha, what are you doing?" Elenore asked, pretending not to have already taken in the flower, and showing a 'genuine' interest in what they witch was trying to do.

That was, after all, how Elenore worked, she could sway the masses to her side with a single, soft smile. She was a Clement, after all.

Sasha was like in her own world so she didn't notice that some people did leave the common room and others came in. She didn't really care about other people right now. All she wanted was getting this flower to be fixed and it was something she was working on there right now.

She managed to fix some of her the flower now. At least it thrones was almost in the same shape. Even if it still needed a lot of work there. At least it began to look much better. Sasha was surprised when someone suddenly sat next to her and began to talk with her. She didn't really notice that someone was there until the person spoke.

She looked up from her drawing. "Hi, Elenore. I'm drawing to draw some flower but this doesn't go so well as I was hoping," she said and sighed. She looked back at her drawing and wasn't really pleased yet with her work. She was almost out of ideas how to fix all the mistakes what was there. "I have no idea what flower it is even," she added. "I have never been good at drawing flowers, so I'm not sure even why I try to draw one now."

As Sasha explained that she'd been trying to draw a flower, Elenore took the information with a small smile on her lips. Elenore could see that much, but she decided not to point that much out, instead she took in the information that Sasha didn't know what kind of flower she was trying to draw, and that she didn't know why she'd attempted to be drawing, either.

This, in Elenore's mind, was quite... unusual. Why would you pick a subject to draw without having a clear picture in your mind of what you wanted? It seemed... unorganised to the Hufflepuff, but once again, she did not voice this opinion. This was something Elenore had become ever so good at, over the years, her opinion was always best kept to herself, her Grandmere had always taught her that much.

"Perhaps I could help you with your mistakes?" Elenore offered, moving round to see what the girl had done, and whether she might be able to salvage it for her. Elenore was, as was expected of a Clement woman, talented in many arts, and drawing was not too difficult, if you had something in mind, clearly, to work from.

Salvaging Sasha's work, though, might be another story.

Sasha just began to draw something in her mind but soon her own thoughts took over. So she didn't really consider what she was drawing exactly. She just let her pencil move on the paper. This is how she ended up drawing this odd looking flower. She just shouldn't have drawn when she had a lot in her mind but then again this used to be thing what made her be happier but not today.

She looked at her flower and then towards Elenore. She just tried to figure out if she should keep trying to fix this flower or start completely new one. Sasha was good at drawing but just today wasn't her day really. There was just so much in her mind.

"If you want you can try," she said with a small smile and gave her sketchbook and pencil to Elenor. She had no idea if the other girl can fix her mistakes or not. She herself really wasn't good at fixing it really. "I can always try to make some common flower and just erase this one," she added there after few seconds.

When Sasha turned the page towards her, Elenore took in the information already there. Most of the problem, in Elenore's opinion was to do with the lack of shading -- yes, there were some bits that simply didn't look one hundred percent, but she was quite sure that if you put in the shading, you would be able to bring the picture to life, in a manner of speaking.

"No, you don't need to start again!" Elenore assured the other witch, putting in a light point in the top right hand side of the page, and then working on the perspective of shading the plant to look like the light was coming down on it. Elenore took a number of minutes completing her efforts, and bringing the flower that had been drawn to life in some kind of form.

It was not the best work Elenore would ever admit to aiding in, but it looked more life like by the time the youngest Clement looked up from the page and to Sasha. Turning the page, Elenore raised one of her perfectly sculpted eyebrows at the girl beside her. "What do you think?" Elenore asked, placing the pencil at the top of the page, before showing Sasha to the light point she'd put on the page.

"You need to remember your shading points. Without them, you can never hope to draw something that looks lifelike, even if your muse is not on something specific." She explained, hoping this would make sense to the other girl.

Sasha just looked what Elenore did there now and didn't really say much. She just tried to focus on what she was doing there with her picture. She knew about shading but she barely used them, she just wasn't that good at it yet. This drawing was just a hobby what she did at times. So she wasn't really that good at it, she just did what she could do.

"Oh okay," was what she said when Elenore said that she didn't have to redo her drawing. She was actually glad that she managed to help her out there. She herself probably would have come to shading in few hours probably. She looked at her drawing after fellow Hufflepuff had fixed and shown it to her.

Actually, Sasha had to admit that shades of light made it so much better. She looked at it and smiled there even. She really was happy that her fellow housemate could help her. "Thank you so much, it looks great," she said with a small smile to her.

"Oh yeah, that makes sense. I have never really studied the art. It just kind of comes naturally at times. So yeah I don't know all techniques out there." she said back. "So I'll remember to do it next time," she added.

At Sasha's thanks for the work and the comment that it looked great, Elenore gave her house mate a small smile that showed a thank you, even though she did not really need the praise. "You're welcome, Sasha." Elenore replied, taking in the work once more herself and deciding it was okay now. Not great, but okay.

"It's okay, you don't need to have studied art to draw." Elenore assured the other witch. "Though, if you're looking for some other techniques, it would be beneficial to do some research. But, I think you're just doing it for fun, so you really don't need to worry too much."

Sitting back in her chair, Elenore made herself comfy, and tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear before looking across at the other Hufflepuff witch. "So, what do you have planned for the winter holidays?" The French witch asked conversationally. It wasn't the most interesting of conversation starters, she was quite aware of that, but it would be interesting to see what the less wealthy members of society did over the holidays.

Sasha really was grateful for Elenore help there even if it wasn't really much. She really liked her drawing more now. She did get it back from the Elenore and well she decided to close her sketchbook for now. She will finish this drawing later when she is alone again.

"Well true that. Yeah, I'm doing it mostly for fun. I'm never gonna make it be part of my career or anything. Just at times, it can help me reveal my stress I have," she said with a small smile. She just did draw when she was stressed or there wasn't really anything else to do at the moment. She just at times loved to draw.

Sasha wasn't really interested talking about her Winter Holiday since it did literally suck. "Well, nothing much really. I have nothing planned at all. Parents will be probably at work as always and me at home with my nanny," she said there and sighed. This wasn't really her favourite subject. "What about you?" she asked back there now. "I hope you have better holiday than me," she added.

The knowledge that Sasha did it to relieve stress made the French witch give a small smile that said she understood. Truthfully, Elenore didn't particularly understand that. Stress was something for those who couldn't manage their situation. And Elenore... Elenore liked to pretend she was capable of managing everything thrown her way.

Whether that was the reality of the situation was another matter entirely.

"You have a nanny?" Elenore asked, focusing more on the last part. Sasha, like her, was fifteen at the least. So, why then would she have a need for a nanny? It wasn't like she was anyone of importance that might require one... So, to say Elenore was more than intrigued with this matter.

"Oh, you know, the usual Christmas... I'll be spending time with my family." Elenore replied, hiding her distaste at the idea, because Elenore knew her Maman would be much too busy trying to throw the most extravagant Ball the world had seen in the hope of making the Clements look more stupendous than last year. It left the youngest Clement with the bitter taste in her mouth simply thinking about it.

"Why don't you stay at Hogwarts? If you don't want to go home? You're allowed, after all." Elenore suggested, not commenting on the other witch's hopes that she would have a better holidays. That, in Elenore's mind, was not something that was going to happen any time soon.
