I shove my hands into my pockets nervously, one of them clenched around my wand, just in case.
I was new here, I didn't know anyone.
All I knew was I was a Ravenclaw.
That didn't help me any.
Hopefully, someone would talk to me, someone would help me.
Hopefully.

I was walking through the entrace hall when i saw someone i'd never seen before, he looked lost. I stopped and walked over to him.
"Are you new here?" I ask politely giving him a smile.

"Oh yes, I am." I smile, greatly relieved that someone was nice enough to come over. "Michael Watkins, but it's Mika to most people." I say, holding out a hand.

"Isabella Knox, but Izzy or Iz, or Belle or Bella to most people." I grin shaking his hand "Take you pick." I say laughing slightly.

"Ravenclaw. Are you in Ravenclaw?"

I shake my head "No, i'm in Gryffindor." I say.

"Do you happen to know any Ravenclaws?" I say hopefully. "I don't know where I'm going yet. Or anything about this place, or anything much really."

"Well there's Isabella or Wes they're my friends in Ravenclaw. But i haven't seen them in a while." I say truthfully.

"Yeah you probably will." I smile then pause "What year are you in?" I ask.

"Care of magical creatures, transfiguration, potions and charms, I think. I might have missed one." I smile. "What about you?"

Post by Isabella Knox on Apr 16, 2007 15:25:55 GMT
"Defence against the dark arts, potions, transfiguration, charms, muggle studies and history of magic." I say making a face when i said the last one.

"History of magic..." I grimace. "My sympathies."

"I know, i must have been out of my mind to take it." I laugh "Oh well, you don't have to do much in that lesson. The teacher's a ghost you see, he doesn't notice much."

"Maybe I should have taken it too." I smile. "I don't really care much for most of my subjects. Just care of magical creatures."

"So you're an animal person?" I ask. I certainly wasn't, most creatures seemed to hate me.

"You could say that." I smile. "Especially wolves. Werewolves. Something of an obsession of mine. Researching, tracking, Greyback..." I find my face darkening at the name, but swallow and smile again. "But all creatures."

I felt a lump rise in my throat as he began talking about werewolves but forced a smile. "Creatures don't seem to like me." I joke and forced a laugh to go along with my smile.

"I'm sorry, I offended you didn't I?" I notice her forced smile. "I'm really really sorry. I didn't mean-...I just-...Sorry."

"No...no it's alright." I say quickly "It's just...what's wrong with werewolves, they're just normal people with a erm...problem." I add.

"I know. I have no problem with them. I find them fascinating as a species. When they're transformed. When they're people I have no problem at all. But when they're transformed theyr'e fascinating. The only one I have a grudge against is Fenrir Greyback." I'm aware of my face darkening again, although I don't mean it to. "He is an evil, evil, evil man."

I nod in agreement, i hated Greyback for what he had done to Remus, what he had done to my dad, what he might have done to me. "Why are you so fascinated with them?" I ask

I drop my eyes to the floor as soon as she says the question, I should have known she'd ask.
"Just-...Just am I guess." I say quietly, then close my eyes very tightly as an image of Kia flashes into my mind.
Laughing Kia.
Dead Kia.
Laughing Kia.
Dead Kia.
I force myself to look up again.

"Yeah, fine." I say, shaking my head to clear it. "Sorry, I'm kind of weird sometimes. I'll understand if you want to stay away from me in future."

I shook my head and smiled "We're all a little weird sometimes." I grin.
