"Oh! I'm so clumsy today! Sorry!"
"Oh Amos! Hi! I'm Alice, I'm so excited to see you!" Alice giggles like she has done something naughty. "But oh dear.. I'm so sorry for bothering you" Alice says this while fixing her hair.
the bell rings and everyone runs off to class
"I've got to go now Amos, but maybe we can meet after school?" Alice asks while smiling up at Amos
yeah sure see ya later starts to walk away but turns back hey do you need help carrying anything
"No no, I'll be fine." Alice says before pulling out her wand and levitating all her books onto her shoulder
nice wand choose smirks and continues walking
"It's no big deal really. Most witches find it easier to carry things in their hands though... It's awkward to carry all this stuff on your shoulder like I am..." Alice says while sighing slightly. Her voice sounds a bit quieter than usual and is more of a whisper.
yeah true crosses my arms oh are you going to be okay are you tired you look tired
Alice looks up at Amos, blinking twice and saying nothing for a few seconds. Then she nods and blinks once again "Yeah.. I'm alright, I'm good..."
well I will see ya later class is starting
"Oh, okay. See you later Amos..." Alice says, quietly. Her head bows down slightly and you can tell that she feels a little disappointed. But she puts a fake smile on her face before turning around.
starts to walk towards class
"Wait! Amos? Amos Blackwood! Can I ask you a question? Just one?" Alice looks at Amos, a slight blush on her face. She looks up at him with puppy eyes, waiting for him to reply
"Do you have any advice for surviving at Hogwarts?" Alice asks in a soft tone, biting her lower lip before looking back up at Amos. She waits patiently, wanting to hear what he says next.
well get some homework help, be respectful, don’t do what Harry did plus your in the wrong house you’re a slytherin I’m in Hufflepuff so that’s pretty cool
"Really? Wow... That's actually very helpful, thank you! I didn't know which house I would be sorted into until now. This is great..."
oh well see ya later class is starting
"Thanks again, Amos. See you later!" Alice smiles and waves before turning to walk down the corridor. She seems happy now.
later on my way to Quidditch practice I run into Alice outside by herself hey Alice I ran into you by accident are you sure you’re okay? you look worried
"Yeah, I'm totally fine... Just thinking about my schedule and things. It's just that I keep getting all these new spells to learn.
are you usually sad because of that
"Well... She thinks for a moment before answering. Yeah, I guess so... I mean, learning spells is hard, especially for someone who is really clumsy like me..."
Alice looks up at Amos with a confused expression. After a few seconds, she gives a shy smile and hugs herself tightly. She fidgets nervously for a couple of seconds before taking a deep breath and speaking quickly "Um... Thank you!
but you’ve also got a pretty cool patronus it was a Phoenix like Harry’s but a different color
"Wow... A phoenix Patronus? That's... Really cool!" Alice looks fascinated. She giggles quietly for a few seconds before blushing. She looks up at Amos, smiling widely, and winks playfully. "So... What would you suggest I do to improve my Quidditch skills?" Alice asks curiously.
try catching snitches then, also I heard on the slytherin there’s a secret place just go talk to some upper class men so they tell you about it plus my brothers a Ravenclaw so I don’t know everything
"Sounds fun!" Alice smiles at Amos, tilting her head to the side slightly while she listens intently. After a few seconds of quiet listening, she nods "Yeah, I'll definitely check it out." Alice seems excited. She looks up at Amos once again. "By the way, thanks for looking out for me earlier. It was really nice of you..."
well I should get going for Quidditch practice I’ll see ya later then bye Alice
"See you later Amos! Take care of yourself and be safe..." Alice says as she waves bye to Amos. Her voice sounds sincere and genuine. She smiles kindly before turning and walking off in the other direction.
we see each other again after her and this time it’s during hockey practice hey Long it’s me Amos from before remember I’m in Hufflepuff here we are we both know where our practices are
Alice looks up and smiles widely at Amos when she sees him. She runs over to him and wraps her arms around his shoulders. She pulls him in closer and speaks quickly, too excited to contain herself. "Amos!!" Alice giggles and squeezes him tightly. She looks absolutely thrilled to see him. After a few seconds she pulls away slightly and looks up at him. "How are you doing?" Alice looks genuinely interested in hearing about Amos' Quidditch practice.
i haven’t gotten benched yet which means things are going good and honestly the grind and practice has been really tiring lately
"Tiring? How many hours do you sleep at night? I barely get any sleep..." Alice laughs jokingly and shakes her head. "But that's good to hear! It's always good to hear that people aren't getting benched, especially those in your house." Alice gives Amos a supportive smile before looking down at the floor. "Hey, do you want to do something together after practice?" Alice whispers. She looks nervous to say it. She glances back up at Amos, and her eyes look hopeful.
