trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
I'm walking around the black lake because why not
quickly catches up to Acedm, trying to match their pace "Uh, so, uh, what brings you to the lake? Are you... are you new here?
grinning widely "Well, welcome to Hogwarts then! It's a really cool place once you get used to it. I'm Harry, by the way.
extends a hand for a handshake "Nice to meet you, Acedm! So, uh, what house were you sorted into?
laughs softly "Hufflepuff, huh? That's a great house! I've always had a soft spot for them.
smiling mischievously "You know, Hufflepuffs are known for their hard work and dedication.
grinning "Well, if that's the case, maybe we could work together sometime. I could use some help with a project I'm working on."
excitedly "Great! I'll tell you more about it later. But for now, let's just enjoy the beauty of the lake, okay?
pauses, his eyes lighting up with an idea "Hey, I have a game we can play! It's called 'Guess That Creature.'
As Harry and Acedm play 'Guess That Creature,' Acedm becomes increasingly upset and angrily reveals their ability to read minds.
blinks in surprise, his mouth slightly agape "Wow, you can read minds? That's incredible! How did you manage to do that?"
I don't know it's just something I can do
stutters nervously "Uh, well, that's... that's amazing! I mean, I've never met anyone with a talent like that before. It's... it's kind of scary, but also really cool."
laughs nervously "Well, I mean, it's scary because you can read my thoughts without me even telling you.
you don't have to be scared of me
stuttering "I-I know, it's just... it's a lot to take in. But I trust you, Acedm. I mean, you seem like a good person, and I'm sure you'll only use your ability for good. Right?"
smiles warmly "That's what I like to hear, Acedm. It's important to have people like you around who can help keep the darkness away.
gently touches Acedm's arm "You know, after what happened with Tom Riddle and all the trouble he caused, it's nice to know there are still people out there who can help protect others.
