One Million Ways To Say Hello

[Alexis Bennett]

Alexis was walking down Durmstrang, the main corridor. It was late. We're talking midnight late and Alexis was completely lost...and craving chocolate. Her long brown curls were tied up into a rough bun and she was wearing sweatpants and a really big t-shirt.

As she turned the corner, she saw this corridor was filled with dust and a dead end. At this moment she was starving. She lent against the wall and slid down the wall, croutching on her tiptoes and she rested her head back against the wall and took breaths. She withdrew her inhaler and took a deep breath before slipping it back in her pocket.

 

[Alois Eisler]

Alois was awaken by a sudden noise outside his dorm, he didn't know what it was, but it had also given him an excuse to just go out, he was starving anyways. Slipping out of his blanket as he wore a white loose shirt that might have been too big for him, he started to move out, not even bothering to check his reflection in the mirror. It was midnight, and surely, no one was awake, right?

However, all those suspicions were proven to be wrong when as he turned around the corner to head to the kitchen, he saw a girl probably younger than him or just about his age, leaning down against the wall. She seemed lost, well, at least, that was in his opinion, for if she wasn't lost, then she shouldn't have been staying in the said place which had seemed to be a dead end if one doesn't know the secrets of the castle. "Hey, are you alright there?" He asked, calling out unto her though he made no move to approach the said girl.

 

[Alexis Bennett]

Alexis jumped at this persons comment. "Huh? What what?" she said, er thick American accent settling in. She saw it was a boy. About her age.

"Yeah-Yeah, I'm fine. You don't know where I can get come chocolat do you?" he asked the stranger.

"I'm Alexis Bennett, call me Lex." she stuck out her hand to the boy.

 

[Alois Eisler]

A small laugh escaped Alois lips as he saw the girl's reaction, especially those words that had been asked after such reaction from her. "Chocolate? Was that the reason why you're her?" He asked, amusement evident in his tone as he finally decided to approach her. "If that is, then you're at the wrong place, why not head to the kitchen and ask for some?" He added, running a hand through his hair as he did so, offering the other to help the girl stand up if she needed any help.

 

[Alexis Bennett]

"Can you help me?" she pouted. "Your name?" she asked. She took his hand and stood herself up. She fluffed up her bun and took it out, her curls exploded over her shoulders and rested on them.

 

[Alois Eisler]

"Help? Sure, I'm heading there as well anyways." Alois said as he released the girl's hand when she was properly standing up already. A small smirk graced his features when he realized that he had not introduced himself yet, "Alois, Alois Eisler." He said, nodding his head as he walked towards the kitchen, waiting for the said girl to follow him then.

 

[Alexis Bennett]

Alexis smiled her crooked smile, her eyes shining. "Nice to meet'cha Alois." she followed Alois. As she walked, she looked at all the old pictures of past students. They all looked scary. "Scary." she murmured.

 

[Alois Eisler]

Alois nodded in acknowledgement, "Yeah, nice to meet you as well Alexis... er.. Lex I mean." He said, smiling at her, he knew that it might have shaken the tower of some other girls' being, but he wasn't sure if it would have the same effect on the said girl. He chuckled a little when he heard her comment about the portraits plastered up on the wall, of course, they do look quite scary especially under this dim light in the corridor that they were currently threading.
