Trying To Be Alone

[Kristen Blade]

Kristen had been enjoying Hogwarts so far. He had heard a lot about it before he'd come to the school, and he knew that he had some family here as well. He always knew that his sister had left and gone to Durmstrang, and he had no interest in ever going out there to meet her. Kristen couldn't even stand being alone sometimes, having his mind run crazy theory after crazy theory in order to keep himself amused. He couldn't understand how he had gotten the extremely short end of the straw when it came to being able to talk to other people, and he found it terrifying sometimes.

Kristen sighed, and pulled into a nearby door in order to get away from some students he saw in the distance. A lot of them tended to be far too nice, and he wished that everyone would just keep to themselves. Kristen knew that he would have to get over his shyness eventually, but for the time being he would do everything that he could do to keep people away. At that moment, Kristen heard a sound at the door, and quickly scrambled to hide himself.

 

[Clementine Pratt]

Clementine had stayed at Hogwarts for the holidays so she felt like she knew the castle very well now. She had found a classroom on the second floor that was always empty that she liked to go to whenever she didn't feel like being surrounded by people who just ignored her anyway. Usually things like that didn't bother her at all, as Clementine was used to being overlooked and she tried to remain cheery despite the fact, but today she was not feeling like her usual self. She didn't want to sulk and mope in her room though so she headed down to the abandoned classroom. However, as she opened the door to the room she heard scrambling and the silhouette of someone trying to hide behind the unused desks. "Hello?" Clementine called out. "Is someone here?" she asked taking a step in anyway. ​

Kristen froze when he heard someone talking in the distance, he had been found. He had thought his hiding spot was perfect, and this just gave him more then enough of a reason for him to not leave the common room next time he had the idea to go out. He had hoped that the person, that sounded like a girl, wouldn't find him. She sounded nice enough, but Kristen wasn't fussed by whether or not someone was the nicest person in the world, or if they were pure evil. He attempted to quietly stand up, and ended up bumping into her on his way out due to inattentiveness. "S..s..sorry.." He spat out, hoping that she would just let him leave.

Clementine couldn't tell where the figure was in the room so the bump came as a shock to her. She turned and looked at the boy and quickly said, "It's okay!" She moved out of his way so he could get through but decided to speak up. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize this room was already occupied!" she said with a small giggle. "You shouldn't have to leave, I will," she contested with a small sigh, but still smiling at the boy to hold no hard feelings.​
