I walk casually through Flourish and Blott's.
One hand was jammed in my pocket, tightly gripping my wand, the other was running along the leather spines of books as I browsed.
Looking for something dark.
That could re-ignite my passion for the dark arts hopefully, seeing as it seemed to be dormant right now.

Man why am I always getting lost? I think to myself, I had taken a wrong turn and now I ended up here."But where is here?" I ask myself when I run into someone,"OOF!"

"Oh bollocks..." I snort with laughter as I walk into someone. "Alright mate?"

I rub my head and look up at the guy I ran into. I nod mutely.

"Sorry about that. Wasn't looking where I was going. You think this looks interesting?" I ask him, taking a book on magical torture down from the shelf. "Whoa...that's gruesome..." I remark.

I shudder at the drawing they had,"T-T-That's sick."

"Sure is. Some twisted fuck did that alright." I nod, closing the book. "So, what's your name?"

I shake his hand. "Ian Hunt. Pleasure."
I slide the book back onto the shelf.
"So what are you doing around here? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I wouldn't have you pegged as a dark arts fanatic."

"Don't blame you. Don't want people to catch you down here." I chuckle. "So what house are you in? Let me guess-...Hufflepuff? Maybe Ravenclaw, but I'm going with Hufflepuff."

"I don't pay attention to time. Or my schooling. I got bored of the last place so I moved onto this one. Tis the way of the drifter, and a mighty fine one too."

"Well, I couldn't exactly say makes me happy. But it keeps me alive which is more than I can ask for." I shrug. "So, you stay in one place, huh? Settled down and all that. Family, maybe? Girl, even?"

I shake my head a jam my fists into my pockets,"Dont I wish," I say."Broken family; dad abanded us, sister drowned and mum's the only sane one." I say pulling my hood up,"As for a girl; yeah right,"

"Shame that." I say, trying to inject sympathy into my voice but not quite managing. "I know what it's like to come from a broken family, so you're not alone on that one. And why, yeah right, for a girl? You're the-...nice guy, right?" I laugh slightly. "Don't girls like the nice guy?"

"Being me isn't working out for me, either." I shrug. "Mind you, I'm not the friendliest as you probably guessed so I can understand why."
