I Need You!

[Jakobe Vittori]

Jakobe Hitachiin was super excited. He was currently rushing around in the Ravenclaw dorms trying to get dressed. Late last year, whilst exploring, Jake and Giuls had come across a really cool hidden room on the sixth floor. It had come as a complete accident, though, so they almost hadn't noticed. Jake had heard rumours about this "come and go" room. It appeared for those that needed something specific. He and Giuls had needed a place to hide one night. A Professor had been about to catch them and then suddenly a door showed up and they jumped through the door. It had been a cupboard. Once they were assured that the coast was clear, they had snuck back to their dorms. The next day, whilst exploring again, the cupboard had been gone. That was when they had realised that the room was a secret and that it was hidden. Today he had decided that he wanted to show it to Scarlet. He had been meaning to do so for a while, but he'd never gotten around to it. She always had trouble finding somewhere to get away from everything when she was feeling overwhelmed. Jake figured that maybe this would be the perfect place. That way only Jake and Giuls would know where she was and if she didn't want them to be able to find her, then the room would make sure that they couldn't, which he thought was pretty cool. It could think for itself!

Rushing out of the Ravenclaw common room and through the corridors to the Hufflepuff Commonroom, Jake waited mostly patiently for Giuliano to arrive with Scarlet. Finally he saw his friends and his smile grew. He pulled Scarlet into a tight hug, and then Giuls. "I missed you guys! I was so bored at home without you!" He told them, as they began heading to the sixth floor again, Jake holding Scarlet's hand tightly. "Giuls and I have something to show you! We are really excited about it!" He would have spoken in french, but Giuls didn't yet know how to speak it properly. He was still getting taught. "I think you are going to like it. Right Giuls?" Jake looked over to his best friend and winked. He and Giuls spent all of their time together when they could. It just made total sense really. What would be the point of being friends and not hanging out. Of course he hung out with Scarlet and Esme too, when he could. "Oh! Guess what?! I was made the President of the Conglomerated Arts Club!" he told his friends excitedly. "Isn't that great?! You guys are going to sign up, right?" They would be his partners in crime. He couldn't wait to get started with meetings!

[Scarlett Vittori]

Scarlet Joussane was having a peaceful day. Or as peaceful as it could most possibly get with two very energetic friends. It was early afternoon and the Hufflepuff had literally just seated herself for less than a minute before Guils had rushed into the library and wanting her to come with him. Honestly, the redhead currently did not want to move from her place right now. She was just dead tired after practicing with her broom earlier, and yesterday and the day before that, and the day before that, and every single day after the results of the try-outs have been given. She had honestly not expected to make it to the team and now that she was, she actually needed to practice a lot! And she did. And it did not help her petite frame at all. She did not know how many times she fell off her broom this week or got herself hit by quaffles as she chased the snitch during team practice and she only thanked Merlin that she had not gotten hit by the bludger yet as she made sure to steer clear from the beaters. And she was just sore all over and dead tired. But now, instead of trying to focus her academics, her Hufflepuff friend just had to literally throw her book away before grabbing her hand and dragging her out of the library, but not before hitting her knee on the table when she stood up, which caused her to whimper a little. What's with the rush anyway?

It was not long after Guils had dragged her out of there did the reached the corridors leading to the common room and there they had found Jake which caused a sudden flare of redness to scatter on the young girl's face. Seriously, she was not that prepared to see him yet but it made her happy to see him. She was a bit upset at his lack of letters though, and even through her efforts of making him notice her by joining the Quidditch team, it seemed as if it was all for nothing. She was taken by surprise though when he had engulfed her into a rather tight hug which pressed into the bruises in her arms hidden by the jacket she currently wore. Well, at least the bruise at her left cheek and right side of her forehead was still covered by her hair. It would have been embarrassing to be seen. Scarlet's face lit up into a smile though at the boy's announcement of him missing them. "W-Where are we going?" she asked meekly as she was once again being pulled this time by Jake tightly holding her hand. He did not answer though and instead gave them another announcement that made the Hufflepuff proud. "Congratulations," she whispered and gave a subtle nod about signing-up. She was a member last year and she had fun. She might as well join again. And as she was pulled to Merlin knows where, she started to wonder where they were bringing her. And though Jake had not answered her question, she didn't mind. She trusted him after all.
