<div class="floatleft">(http://l.yimg.com/ea/img/-/081218/cast-400x300-rebecca-breeds_14kjjnc.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Aithne Koles<br/><strong>Age/Year:</strong>18, First Year<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Blood:</strong>Half Blood<br/><strong>Clan:</strong>The Blackburn Clan<br/><strong>Wand: </strong>cedar, 10 inches, unicorn hair<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Anyone, Everyone<br/>--------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Aithne didn’t notice that Lili had seen her leave and mistook why she was leaving even though if Lili would had questioned her Aithne would have let her know it was actually none of her business.  Her usually very strong observational skills seemed to be alluding her as she didn’t even notice what seemed to be happening between her best friend and Korol either.  Maybe if she had she might have the guilt like look sent her way by Korol and been a little more suspicious of what was actually happening.  She blinked as Korol’s question toward her finally filtered into her head and she shook her head in response to him.  “No need to leave.”<br/><br/>She frown slightly as she turned to Emily more fully to see that her best friend had become flustered and stumbled back toward her.  As Emily stepped in closer to her without her usual shy but bright smile Aithne realized they were Emily’s personal signs of being embarrassed by something.  She wondered what could have happened between the two that would have her feeling that way just when Aithne had hoped Emily was coming out of her shell.  Aithne placed what she hoped was a comforting hand on Emily’s shoulder as the older boy turned his attention to Emily again asking a question about a time for something.<br/><br/>She didn’t know what he was talking about but if it helped Emily to be more confident in herself and he didn’t hurt Emily she wouldn’t say a word about it.  At Emily’s response she hid her grin, she knew her friend was embarrassed and nervous and she was glad that Emily was taking a chance.  Aithne just knew this would be good for her friend and she hoped that she was right.
