Horace wiped the sweat from his forehead, thankful for the fall breeze that swept over the hills. One of the newer horses was giving him a bit of a problem, nipping and biting the students, and working with it that day was the best thing he could do. He didn’t want to interfere with the droves of magical folk who swarmed the building, and the headmistress knew how to get him if she needed him. A shadow blew over him and he looked up, nodding at the gargoyle soaring across the sky. As he turned back to his work he spotted Izzie standing all alone on the other hill in a blue and silver dress that was flapping in the breeze. He waved her over and she smiled, picking up the edge of her skirt to not trip, revealing her silver sandals.

Izzie jogged over, glad that Horace didn’t mind her being there. He was all alone on top of the hill with the horse and a couple of dogs, who were running through the grass nipping at crickets. Horace looked strange, wearing an ill-fitted suit with horse hair stuck to the front of his pants, and his shoes shined perfectly. He also looked incredibly uncomfortable, pulling on his vest, the flower in the small breast pocket wilted. Izzie held back a chuckle, since she felt just as out of sorts as he obviously did.

“Nice tie.” Izzie smiled, raising her eyebrows.

“Yeah, thanks.” Horace grimaced, pulling on the tie to loosen it. “The headmistress requests I dress nicely when the parents come around. Makes it hard to work.”

“Probably would help if your jacket wasn’t too small on your shoulders.”

“Had to borrow one from the instructors and he’s a bit smaller than me.”

Izzie walked up to the horse, petting it down the front of its nose. The horse settled, letting out a breath. Horace nodded, seeing that she too had a way with animals. She looked sad though, and almost as if she were running away from something.

Horace didn’t want to ask her what was wrong so instead he started a story. “Years ago, there was this kid—a student here. He had a lot of talent, a lot of magical power, but he wasn’t the same as everyone else. His breed, I guess you could call it—it was a dying one and it made him different from everyone else here.”

Izzie looked at the woods in the distance, anger still bubbling inside of her. She hated that she couldn’t be like the others, that she was all alone. She turned her head back, knowing Horace was trying to help by telling a story.

“This kid was shy around new people, but outgoing and great around people that he got comfortable with. The only problem was when he would get comfortable many of them would turn on him, teasing him about who he was and where he came from. He was in a sea of different magical creatures, but he still felt all alone.”

“I can understand how that feels,” she mumbled.
