Getting Back Into The Grove

[Satsuke Nakamura]

Satsuke Nakamura wished he would have stayed over at Heath's for the vacation, but he and his former best friends weren't on good terms anymore. He did not know why, but the relationship had just fallen through the cracks. Anyways, Satsuke was sure Heath was having a lot more fun hanging out with Ai. He could see the two had gotten closer. He would have never expected it, but it was happening. Satsuke had been busy babysitting his little brothers. They were good babies. They didn't cry much, they ate well, and they slept through the night. Satsuke could already tell that Seito was going to be the "leader" out of the two even though he was the younger one. Satsuke sat down on a bench. He was not used to the busy corridors anymore. He was not as social as he used to be. He was not happy-go-lucky anymore. Just like his parents had wanted, Satsuke had matured. He had to keep up with his classes. Hani had told him that if he tried he might actually enjoy going to some classes. Satsuke did not think it was likely, but anything was possible.

 

[Isabelle Valentina]

Isabelle was lost. Hopelessly loss. She just couldn't find her way around the massive castle, no matter how many times she walked the corridors. She tucked a strand of wavy dark hair behind her ear and gazed miserably around the corridor. A sea of students chatted amicably, the majority of them Hufflepuffs. Isabelle wondered if her friend Jessica was here. She would know how to get to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Isabelle shouldered her satchel and clutched at the great tomes in her hand. They weighed heavily in her hand, causing the young girl to pant with effort. She passed by students on benches, and spotted a slightly older boy sitting by himself. Distracted, Isabelle tripped over a loose stone, and with a cry she dropped her belongings. Papers flew, books toppled, and her inkwell splattered on the granite. Cursing her luck and lack of gracefulness, Isabelle bent down to retrieve her fallen objects.

Satsuke sat on the the bench quietly. He stared at students who passed by put one had caught his attention. A girl had dropped all of her things. Being the nice person he was, he got up and bent down the girl pick up her things. "Are you alright?" he asked kindly as he picked up some papers. The girl looked younger than her. Most likely a first year. He had no problem with first years. Sometimes they were very adorable. Satsuke remembered how he was his first year. He was happy. He was energetic. Now, he was everything but happy and energetic. "My name is Satsuke." he introduced himself to the girl. He pulled out his wand, and he casted a cleaning charm. The spilled ink on the granite disappeared. He picked up the inkwell. There was still a little bit of ink left in it.
