"Not yet but you can always go down to the kichen." Lavy sat down in a chair. "I'm Lavy by the way."

"The kichen... okay... I'll wait for supper," Zuri said. She smiled when Lavy said her name and nodded. Then she looked around at the room and saw an owl at the window, tapping it to be let in. She looked at it closer and realized it was her owl, Snowfall. She ran to the window and let Snowfall in. The owl extented her leg and Zuri saw that there was a message tied to it. She smiled and took it, petting Snowfall's soft feathers. Then she looked at the message and regonized the handwriting. It was her brother's. She opened it quickly and read it, a smile widening across her face.

Zuri looked up at him and blinked, once, "It's from my brother. It's talking about how he's getting married to this one girl. I'm happy for him. It is also taking about the stuff that's going on at home. I'm happy for them, and I haven't heard from them for a little while, so..." Zuri smiled and giggled. Then she read the rest of the letter. (Had to pull that reason out of my hat on the spot. )

"My brother doesn't talk to me much either. Not that he doesn't want to talk to me, though. Just that he goes to alot of places."

Zuri smiled grew wider at the very end of the letter and she looked up, "Well, he's very busy, considering that he's going to get married. He is really nice, and my oldest sister is going to have a baby. It's going to be 3/4 veela! I hope it's a girl!"
She smiled and let Snowfall perch on her shoulder. She wondered what the name of the baby would be.

"Well, I am! I like children," Zuri said, "I like them unless they get me mad, that is... Then I have to calm down, before I scare them."
Zuri beemed at Keith, and then got a trobled look on her face, "Shouldn't I be happy and excited? Wouldn't you be? I mean, I'm going to be an... umm.... Aunt!"
She went back to the window and left Snowfall out so she could go and hunt. Then she turned back to the warm Common Room.

(don't be... takes a lota time and practice... In another forum I'm on, they're a ton longer, but I feel like I would bore everybody to death. Here, I'll make this one like one I would usually post... Be happy I post this short... and practice!!!! lolz)
Zuri turned back to Keith and smiled widely. She nodded vigorously and beamed at him, her eyes wide, her hair loose, "I sure am! I like playing with children."
Zuri did in fact love playing with children. Her younger sister, her only one, had always had someone to play with because of Zuri. Zuri remembered fond memories of a Christmas Eve where she and her little sister, Kioko, were playing a board game. Kioko was doing horribly and Zuri let her cheat a bit. Finally, Kioko gave up and looked at Zuri with wide eyes, "Must I play, sis?"
Zuri put the board game away and got a book to read to her little sister in front of a fire. She started and little Kioko fell asleep. She looked so cute and angelic, though she was also a half-veela. Zuri had stroke her hair and smiled.
They had gotten up the next day and unwrapped presents. Zuri had given Kioko a little doll that Zuri made herself. Kioko rushed over and gave Zuri a big hug. Then Zuri got out an old doll of hers and played with Kioko for a while. The little girl laughed a very childish and sweet giggle.
Zuri sighed, missed Kioko. The she looked up at Keith again, a light in her eye showing excitement.
(I'm not trying to show off with that... Just look at the things I mention... setting, time, characters, and (to make a post long) many descriptive words. ;D)
