trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
extends a hand for a handshake "I'm Harry. I mean, you know who I am, but it's nice to meet you. What's your name?"
"Carbaob." she took his hand briefly before letting go
grinning "Nice to meet you, Carbaob. So, what brings you to the lake? Are you a student at Hogwarts?"
"Just visiting my friend."
tilts his head in curiosity "Your friend? Here? That's quite unexpected. Is it Professor McGonagall?
"No, she's just a mere friend."
laughs nervously "Well, I suppose anyone can make friends with the Headmistress. But tell me, Carbaob, what's your connection to Hogwarts?
"nothing." she began to walk away
quickly catches up to her "Wait, what do you mean by nothing? Don't you have any ties to the school? Are you sure you're not hiding something from me?"
"no." she stopped and turned around "I was homeschooled, so I never had the opportunity to attend Hogwarts."
nods understandingly "That's quite unfortunate. But I suppose that means you're starting from scratch.
smiles warmly "Well, Carbaob, if you ever need any help or guidance, I'm here for you. We all have our own paths, and I believe you can find yours too."
Over time, Harry Potter and Carbaob develop a deep and meaningful friendship, sharing their hopes, dreams, and secrets with each other.
she smiled "so, do you think I should apply to Hogwarts?"
pauses thoughtfully "It's a big decision, Carbaob. But I think it could be a great opportunity for you.
she nodded "Ok, I will apply."
grabs Carbaob's shoulders excitedly "That's the spirit! I'll help you with everything you need. We'll fill out the application together, practice questions, the works!"
"you really don't have to bother."
waves his hands dismissively "Nonsense! I want to help. Besides, I've got plenty of experience with these sorts of things. Trust me, I'll make sure you ace that application!"
grins mischievously "Alright, Carbaob! First things first, we need to gather all the necessary documents.
she nods "where do we start?"
pulls out a notebook and pen "We start by listing down all the requirements for the Hogwarts application. Transcripts, letters of recommendation, test scores...
notices Carbaob's gasp and chuckles "Don't worry, Carbaob. We'll figure it out together. I remember when I applied to Hogwarts; it was a daunting task, but I managed to get through it. And look at me now, one of the most famous students in the school!"
"again, Harry, you really don't have to help me with this. I don't want to be a burden."
places a hand on Carbaob's arm reassuringly "Carbaob, you're not a burden to me at all.
starts flipping through the Hogwarts application booklet "Alright, let's go through the requirements together.
she looks at the book "there's a lot of stuff I need to do."
puts on a determined expression "Don't worry, Carbaob! We'll tackle it one step at a time. First, we need your transcripts from your homeschooling.
"this is going to take forever."
grabs Carbaob's hand "Don't lose hope, Carbaob! We'll send those transcripts in no time. And don't worry about doing everything alone; I'll be right here with you every step of the way."
Despite their efforts, Carbaob struggles with the application process and feels overwhelmed by the requirements
"this isn't going to work. I am not smart enough to get into Hogwarts."
gently places a hand on Carbaob's shoulder "Hey, Carbaob, don't say that. You're more than smart enough to get into Hogwarts.
