trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
walks out of the darkness and goes behind a tree to take off my hoodie to reveal my white cropped tank top
blinks in surprise, then chuckles nervously "Uh, I haven't seen you around before. Are you new here?"
yeah, but I’m not new to the Hogwarts universe. I was in the chamber of secrets a few days ago.
tilts his head in fascination "The Chamber of Secrets? Really? How did you manage to get inside?"
smiles it’s a long story, but let’s just say that I have an unusual ability to take things apart and put them back together. puts my hair up in a messy bun
eyes widen in surprise "Wait, you can...you can fix things? Like, seriously?"
Yeah, just don’t ask me to fix anything electronic. That’s one area where my skills are lacking.
grins excitedly "That's incredible! Can you fix anything?"
laughs softly "Not anything, but I can definitely fix a lot of things. Just show me what needs fixing, and I'll see what I can do."
holds up his hand, revealing a small, broken clock "Perfect! Can you fix this?"
Sure thing! Let me take a look. takes the clock and examines it closely
watches intently as Neatch works, asking questions about her methods and process
after a few minutes, the clock is fixed
claps excitedly "Wow, you're amazing! Thank you so much for fixing my clock!"
It’s no problem at all, Harry. I’m glad I could help.
grinning widely "You know, now that I think about it, maybe we could work together. I could show you some tricks and secrets around Hogwarts."
That sounds like fun! Count me in.
reaches out and shakes Neatch's hand firmly "Great! Let's meet up tomorrow and start exploring. I'll show you all my favorite spots!"
chuckles Lead the way, Harry. I'm excited to see what you have in store.
smiles warmly "Alright! Meet me in front of Hogwarts at noon tomorrow. We've got a lot to explore!"
Got it, Harry. See you tomorrow!
bids farewell to Neatch, walking back towards the castle with a spring in his step, excitement evident on his face
as he walks away, Harry can't help but feel a sense of anticipation for tomorrow's adventure with Neatch
when I get to my dorm I take off my tank top, putting on shorts before crawling into bed
pauses outside Neatch's dorm, hesitating for a moment before deciding to knock on the door
nervously scratches his head "Um, hi! Sorry for bothering you, but I have an idea. Maybe we could exchange keys so we can surprise each other with visits?"
Sure, Harry. Give me yours.
smiling widely "Great! Here you go." hands over his key
takes Harry's key and adds it to her collection
grinning mischievously "So, when can I come to your room for a surprise visit?"
Anytime after 6pm, Harry. Just give me a heads up so I can prepare.
excitedly "Deal! I'll be there by 7pm sharp. You won't know what hit you!" turns and walks away, already plotting his surprise
laughs Looking forward to it, Harry. Surprise me!
enters his own dorm room, closing the door behind him "Now, let's plan the perfect surprise..." grabs a piece of parchment and starts jotting down ideas
crawls into bed, falling asleep
The next morning, Neatch wakes up to a mysterious note on her bedside table. It reads: 'Meet me in the black lake at midnight. We need to talk.'
