Robbie walked out of the castle, glancing around nervously as he did. He had seen some bad things happening around the castle, and he had heard whispers about them. He didn't like them, at all, and they were only reinforcing his shy attitude. He hated it when people resorted to violence, and he would probably cry if somebody so much as raised a wand at him in a negative way. Robbie didn't like being the person he was, sometimes, because it meant that people picked on him, and he absolutely hated it when people picked on him. He sighed, and started across towards the lake.
Robbie had heard stories about the giant squid, and had wanted to stay away from here since he had come to Hogwarts, but he knew better now. People picked on him because he was gullible, and easily susceptible. He sighed, and glanced around. He didn't know if everyone out here would want to talk to him, and quite frankly, he was far too scared to talk to anybody out here who wasn't a Hufflepuff, and even then, he didn't talk to many people who were in a higher year then him. It scared him quite a lot, the concept of meeting a new friend, and he loved having friends.
Robbie sighed, and wandered over to the lake itself. Now that he knew there was no giant squid in there, that was threatening to eat his brains, and grind his bones, he was able to not be.. as scared as he approached it. Robbie had nearly drowned when he was younger then he was now, and he couldn't stand being too close to large bodies of water anymore, and he dreaded the thought of it. He just couldn't bring himself to get any closer. He turned, and saw an older Hufflepuff, and nearly dived into the lake to get away from him. "Uh.. uhm.. erm.. H.. Hello." Robbie stuttered.
