I stand in the highstreet of the little village I'd ended up at.
Seemed to be an alright place.
I'd enrolled at the school already.
To continue my inconsistent education.
Downside of being a drifter, I suppose.
I take a muggle cigarette out of my pocket, then fumble looking for my lighter, which I couldn't find.
I stopped someone walking past, "Hey, you got a light?"

I stopped and looked at the guy, then at the papery stick in his hand.
I'd seen muggles with them before, the smoke that came out of them always made me cough.
"Erm...no sorry." I say apologeticly.

"Never mind." I shrug. "Got your wand on you?"

"Yes i do, why?" I ask, surveying him suspiciously.

"So I can light this." I say, gesturning to the cigarette. "My wand snapped ages ago. Need to get it replaced."

"Oh okay." I say hesitating slightly before handing him my wand. "Don't muggles smoke those?" I ask.

I nod, igniting her wand tip and setting fire to the end. "Thanks."
I hand it back to her, breathing smoke in the opposite direction.
"What's your name?"

"No problem." I reply putting my wand back in my robe pocket.
"I'm Isabella Knox, nice you meet you." I say smiling, holding out my hand for him to shake.

I look at her hand, pausing, then eventually shaking it. "Ian Hunt."

"Are you new round here? I haven't seen you before." I ask.

"Yeah, I'm new." I nod guardedly. "Just enrolled in that school up there. You a student?"

"At Hogwarts, yeah i am. What year are you in?" I ask.

"Seventh. You?"

"Seventh." I reply smiling.

"I'm in Slytherin. What about you?"

"I'm in Gryffindor." I reply.

"Guess that makes us mortal enemies, or something. Well, so I'm told." I snort.

"Yeah." I agree "We should be hexing each other right now." I laugh "But you don't have a wand, and i'm far too nice." I smile.

"I guess we're both lucky then." I smile slightly.

"I guess we are." I say. "Were you at a school before Hogwarts?" I ask.

"Quite a few. Not for the last couple of months though."

"Oh right, why not?" I ask "If you don't mind me asking." I say, not wanting to sound nosy.

"Sometimes I just don't. I'm a drifter. I drift. It's what I do." I shrug. "I go to the odd school, then move on. Took a break though. Death eaters killed my Erin, so I took a break from everything for a while."

"Oh i'm sorry." I say "Who was she?"

Post by Ian Hunt on May 20, 2007 14:26:44 GMT
"She was a muggle. Stupid really." I say bluntly. "Should have known better than to grow attatched to a muggle."

"Nothing's wrong with muggles." I say sternly.

A small smile tugs at one corner of my mouth. "Depends on your perspective. And background. And where your loyalties lie."

"Does it?" I smirk "Because they're still the same people no matter which way you look at them."

I arch an eyebrow but don't say anything.

"You obviously disagree." I say "But it's a matter of opinion i suppose, and you are in Slytherin." I smirk.
