Blake stepped outside of the castle and gladly took in a deep breath of fresh air. He loved the outside air, it was so...fresh. It made him feel great, it was very refreshing to him. He very much enjoyed being outside altogether. Everything about the outside was wonderful.

Blake decided to go for a walk through the lawns, since he hadn't been through the lawns of Hogwarts New Zealand yet. So he started off through the grounds of the castle, while looking around at everything.
 
"Ah, that cloud looks like a bunny.. that one looks like a carrot.."
Kagyou had finally some free time to walk about, idle, and daydream. And sky..watching. Like birdwatching, but only skywatching. Dressed in her Hufflepuff uniform and carrying her bag only showed that she was just released from class. Or she was just going for class. But more accurately, the former.

Her snow hair gleamed under the sunlight while opal orbs gave full attention to the skies. And just as she took another step, she bumped into Blake- someone whom she doesn't recognize, and fell back from the impact landing on her rear.

Immediately, she spoke quite in alarm. "Ow, oh!" she looked up to the Gryffindor male. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking!"
 
Blake was enjoying his walk, and enjoying the scenery since he had never seen before. Well, he had seen it, but never really looked at it that much. And there were some things that he hadn't seen yet. He was looking all around, and didn't notice the girl that was walking his way. She bumped into him and fell down. He looked with suprise down at the girl. He hadn't even seen her. She apologized, and he smiled. "That's ok. You don't have to be sorry, it was as much my fault as yours. Here," He said as he extended a hand to help her up.
 
Holding onto her belongings tightly, Kagyou gave a smile to return his and placed a pale petite hand onto the extended one. "More mine than yours." she commented, then thanked him for the helping hand before apologizing once again.
"My name is Kagyou." she introduced, giving a smile as she did, opal eyes waiting for the male's reaction. "I'm a Hufflepuff first year."
 
Promptly sliding out of the shadow of the battlements like some kind of huge bird, Henric's cloak flapped in the wind as he advanced through the lawn, treading past the grass as if stalking his prey. He raised his head skywards shortly after, allowing strands of black hair to cascade away from his face. "Ojou-sama." He greeted, casting his hand under his waist and going down into a haughty bow. Raising his head, he tilted his head and smiled at Blake absentmindedly.
 
A chill ran down her back even before Kagyou realized that Henric had arrived. She felt this strange piercing feeling behind her, but thought nothing of it until a voice caught her attention.
"Ah. Henric." Kagyou turned to face him, a smile casted onto her face. A genuine smile. "How are classes so far, Henric?"
Then she paused, and blinked. "Ah, what are you doing here? I was just walking about when..." Turning to Blake, she gave an unsure smile.
"I accidentally bumped into him..." There was a heavy blush on her pale face, as she faced the ground. "How embarrasing."
 
Blake was about to introduce himself to the girl after she introduced herself, when another boy walked up to them. He looked as if he was either the same age or a year younger than Blake. The boy greeted him with 'Ojou-sama.' Blake looked at him and returned the smile. "I'm sorry, but what does that mean? And oh, by the way, I'm Blake. Second Year Gryffindor."
 
"'Oujo' is the Japanese term for 'princess' " Kagyou answered rather casually. And after she thought about it, she scratched her head, then added quickly. "It's some.. family matters." Which was true. Kagyou did not lie. When Blake introduced himself, Kagyou laughed softly and nodded, giving an outstretched hand towards him. "It's nice to meet you, I'm sorry for walking straight into you.."
 
"Ah, I see." Blake said when Kagyou got done talking. He gave her a smile and replied, "Don't be sorry. Like I said, it was as much my fault as it was yours. In fact, it was probably more of my fault. I should have been paying attention instead of looking around at everything."
 
After the man spoke, Kagyou laughed. Then she began to shake her head. "I was staring at the skies rather than paying attention."
Kagyou thought for a while, and decided it's better to change topic. Else, they'll be on the topic of whose fault it is for quite some time. "So.. uhm.. Second year.. that means two years here, huh?" she began, rather awkwardly.

She wanted to slap herself for stating the obvious.

"So. Which teacher should I be avoiding?"
 
Blake noticed that the subject was changed. He was glad though, because they probably could have spent hours debating whose fault it was that they had bumped into each other. "Well, actually I haven't been here two years. I haven't even been here half a year yet. I transfered her from Hogwarts Scotland because my family moved." He finished explaining and waited for a response.
 
"Hogwarts Scotland..?" Kagyou asked- rather clueless, now canting her head to the side. Admittedly, she didn't know much. She didn't know of this place until a letter came to her. Damn did it surprised her.
Kagyou leaned forward slightly. "Is it as big as this school? Was there a lot of people too? How was it like?"
 
Henric kept back as the conversation went on, not really including himself in it. His right hand was inconpiciously hidden within his robes, where his fingers curled casually around the sturdy wand. His left hand was still under his waist where he had risen from his respectful greeting. Blank, black eyes flickered over to Blake almost threateningly; those who stared into his eyes found themselves into into a deep, dark, dungeon, that seemed to drag one into the abyss and take all they held precious. After a moment, he closed his eyes and took a step back so he was directly behind Kagyou. He still made no move, merely standing immobile like some kind of eerie guardian.
 
((Sorry it took me so long to post, I keep forgetting about this topic...))

Blake was about to answer the many questions that Kagyou had put forth, but looked at Henric first. 'What's he doing?' he thougt to himself as he watched the male first year take a step back to where he was behind the girl. He thought for a second more before turning his attention back to the questions. "Yeah, about the same size and same number of people. I liked it a lot, but I like it here too."
 
.+ Haha, no problem. +.
Kagyou gave off a nervous laugh, noticing Blake looking over at Henric and his eccentric behavior. "Really?" she asked, quite interested now. "The systems and stuff were the same too? Were the professors friendly there too?" she blinked, unsure herself if she was asking too much. "Shall we.. walk about?" She inquired again, canting her head to the side.
 
Blake gave a smile as he thought about how many questions he was being asked. It didn't bother him, though, not one bit. "Everything didn't operate the same way as here, but a lot of things are similiar between the two. And yeah, the professors were awesome." Then he paused for a moment as she asked about walking. He nodded and started off walking at a slow pace, waiting for the others.
 
Kagyou followed the man and his pace, listening to his answers. "Were you in Gryffindor back then too?" she asked excitedly. "Was the common room there bigger than this place here? I've never been into the Gryffindor common room, tho, so I wouldn't know.. but was it bigger?" she didn't stop before asking another. "I just learnt who Harry Potter is! Is he really from your old school? Was he famous there still? Do you know him?" she gave a hint of excitement. "He's a Seeker, right?"
 
Another smile spread across his face at all of the questions being asked. So many of them. He waited for a moment until the latest set of questions was completed. Then he answered as he picked up his walking pace just a bit. "Yeah, I was in the same house and the common room was a bit bigger than here. Yeah, he is really from Hogwarts Scotland, he was still famous, I don't know him, and yeah he was a Seeker."
