You're Not Dead? That Sucks!

[Satsuke Nakamura]

Satsuke Nakamura was not feeling well. He felt nervous and sick about the possibility of being an older brother. A huge part of him wanted his mother to have a miscarriage, and smaller part of him wanted to be able to hold his new baby brothers when they were born. Satsuke did not know what he truly wanted. He could not decide. He did not want his brothers to end up witnessing his parents abuse like he did. If they were also magical like he was then he would also be happy for them. Satsuke would be much older when Hikaru and Seito started school, if they ever will. He walked calmly through the third corridor. It was not as busy as it usual. It was quiet and calm. This pleased Satsuke. He did not want to be around noise. As he was walking past the Charms classroom he tripped over something, causing him to drop his armful of books. He almost fell flat on his face, but he had quick reflexes and caught his balance. Satsuke turned to look at the 'something' he tripped over. It was a boy. This made Satsuke worry. He knelt down and shook the boy lying on the ground. "Are you okay?" he asked. Why was he out on the floor. He surely hoped that the boy was not sleeping there because it could cause him major back problems. Satsuke would not wish that on anyone.

 

[Rafael Todd]

Rafael Todd had been looking for a place too sleep. He always found it hard to sleep n his dorm because he thought it was too cool in there. It was like being in some sort of metal freezer. He had been roaming all the corridors looking for a quiet place to lay down and sleep. Sleeping was Rafael's life. He had not found anything he was interested in yet, so he decided sleeping would help him figure it out. He came into Hogwarts with the need to prove to his family that he was worthy to be called a Todd, but now he did not care. His pursuit for approval had been useless because he was still ignored in his family even if he did get good grades. Trying was not worth his time. He decided that unfailing in life and getting his families attention was much better than succeeding in life and his family still ignored him like they did today. That was just how Raf felt about it. He found family to be seriously important. Without family he felt that he was nothing.

Rafael finally reached the third corridor. It was strange that a floor that usually had the most foot traffic was very quiet. He smiled to himself. It was the perfect place for him to sleep. He laid on the floor a little bit away from the charms classroom. He simply closed his eyes and started to breathe evenly. No one could understand why Rafael slept so much. His sister thought he had some kind of disease, but Rafael knew he didn't. He just liked to sleep. He liked to close his eyes and be in darkness. That's what he liked, and sleeping gave him that. After five minutes, Rafael was knocked out. Sleep had punched him in the face. He was so peaceful and relaxed when he slept. Missy snored and looked like a werewolf when she was sleeping. His parents actually preferred that he slept his holiday days because they liked seeing him be peaceful and relaxed. Rafael was a light sleeper though. About thirty minutes had past when someone kicked him. He slowly started to open his eyes. The person was asking if he was okay. Rafael simply nodded and stared at the ceiling. Why did the boy sound so worried? He was only sleeping.

 

[Satsuke Nakamura]

Satsuke sighed a sigh of relief. Apparently, the boy had been sleeping there. "You really shouldn't sleep on the floor, you know." he told the student. He go on his hands and knees and started to gather the books he had dropped. He needed to study for some of his classes because he was not doing well in them. He did not really have a problem with that though. He most likely was not going to be pursuing a career in the wizarding world, but he always liked to keep his options open. After gathering all his books. He stood up with some difficultly. His pants were all dirty because of his crawling on the floor. "I hope you get up soon. I don't think your head of house would like to see you on the floor like that."Satsuke suggested. He saw the Slytherin crest on the boy's robes. Professor Styx was scary, and he was certain that he did not like Satsuke. Satsuke turned to leave.

 

[Rafael Todd]

Rafael sat up. "What is it to you if I sleep on the floor?" he snapped at the boy. Rafael watched as the boy went started to collect some books from the floor. He hadn't kicked him? He must of tripped. He watched as the boy stood up wit an armful of books. From his robes Rafael was able to see that he was a Hufflepuff. Raf rolled his eyes. "No one knows how Professor Styx will react to anything." he told the Hufflepuff. Rafael stood up and wiped all of the dust that had been on the floor. He hoped he did not get sick from it later on. Compared the Rafael the Hufflepuff was nothing, physically anyways. Rafael was tall for his age. He was five feet and nine inches. "Let me help you with those." he offered and took some books from the Hufflepuff's pile. Rafael did not know why he was being so nice to a Hufflepuff, but it did not feel so bad to be kind to someone. "Where are you heading?" he asked standing next to the short Hufflepuff.

 

[Satsuke Nakamura]

Satsuke did not want to hear a response from the Slytherin. He had just wanted to be on his way. He found himself become slightly annoyed, but he hid it behind a smile. "You shouldn't ask people why they care about you." he said. Satsuke truly did not want to see the boy be sick in one of their classes together. That would not be fun, and Satsuke would blame himself because he could have done something to prevent the Slytherin from getting sick. Satsuke nodded. Professor Styx was strict and unpredictable. That made Satsuke nervous. When the Slytherin took some of his books he automatically prepared to pick them up from the floor again, He was surprised that the boy was willing to help him out. It was weird, and it caught Satsuke off guard. "I- i am going to my house." he stuttered. He did not know why he was so nervous. He had a feeling the Slytherin had something else in mind. Some sort of prank. If he did then Satsuke would be able to react accordingly.

 

[Rafael Todd]

Rafael shrugged. He did not know why the Hufflepuff was concerned about his habits, but he guessed it was okay. He was completely ignored at home. It was nice to actually get some attention. How would it not be? Rafael nodded. "Lead the way, Hufflepuff." he told the boy. Raf did not understand why the boy was so freaked out at him helping him. He surely was not going to throw his books on the ground. That would be unnecessarily rude. Rafael was not all about respect, but he had a feeling that this Hufflepuff had a temper. He did not want to push the boy's buttons. It was for his own safety. Why would he put something so important like his safety in jeopardy? That's right. He wouldn't.
