trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
he looks over at her who are you?
blushes and stutters H-Harry Potter... I'm s-sorry if I-I... well, you know...
nervously runs a hand through his hair Yeah, I guess I am. But it's not all it's cracked up to be, you know? Being known everywhere...
grinning nervously Well, you see, I've been keeping an eye on you. I mean, not in a stalkerish way or anything!
what do you want to tell me?
takes a deep breath Look, I've seen you around the lake for a while now, and I thought maybe we could be friends.
why would you want to be friends with me?
smiles warmly Because, well, I don't really have many friends, and you seem like a nice person. Plus, it would be nice to have someone to talk to who isn't always trying to get into my business.
relieved Great! So, um, maybe we could hang out sometime? We could go for a walk or grab some butterbeers together. What do you say?
smiling from ear to ear Butterbeers sound amazing! I'll bring some extra for you. So, when can we do this? How about later today after classes?
internally celebrating Yes! Butterbeers and hanging out with the cute girl from the lake - it's gonna be perfect! out loud Great!
I’ll meet you by the black lake after classes
excitedly Perfect! I'll meet you by the black lake after classes. Butterbeers on me! starts practicing how to properly say "butterbeer" Butter... beer... butter... beer...
giggles that’s so adorable!
blushing furiously Oh, um, thanks! I just want to make a good impression, you know? stutters B-Butterbeer!
After their awkward meeting, Harry and the Stranger become official friends and have many exciting adventures together
smiling brightly Yeah, we're officially friends now! And I have to say, I'm really glad we met. You're kind of different than the people at Hogwarts, you know?
takes a deep breath Well, for one thing, you're not part of the popular crowd that looks down on people like me.
oh yeah, i wouldn’t wanna be a part of them! they all snobs and gossips!
nods vigorously Absolutely! They're horrible people. But you, on the other hand, seem genuine and nice.
No problem! I mean, don't get me wrong, there are some nice people at Hogwarts, but they're few and far between.
yea, i went to school there too
raises an eyebrow Really? Well, that's a surprise. I've never seen you before. What house were you in?
pauses for a moment, thinking Ravenclaw, huh? That's impressive. I've always had a soft spot for Ravenclaws. They're always so wise and thoughtful.
draco was in ravenclaw too
narrows his eyes Draco Malfoy? Really? Well, he's probably the exception to the rule. I mean, sure, he's got brains, but he's also got a nasty attitude.
grins mischievously Anyway, enough about Draco. Let's talk about something more interesting.
ok what do you wanna talk about?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones How about we talk about a secret place I know? It's hidden within the castle, and hardly anyone knows about it.
