trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
smiles warmly, trying to hide his nervousness. "I'm Harry. I mean, I'm really Harry. Harry Potter."
Nice to meet you, Harry. I’m Sterra!
eagerly "So, Sterra, do you like this place? It's kind of secluded, but I think it's quite charming."
blushing slightly "Thanks, Sterra. I'm glad you like it. Um, so, do you come here often? I mean, for fun or...?"
Sometimes, it’s a good place to hide from people
tilts his head in curiosity "Hide from people? That sounds intriguing. What are you hiding from, if you don't mind me asking?"
nods sympathetically "I understand. Sometimes it feels like everyone's watching and waiting for you to make a mistake. But this place, it's like a sanctuary.
takes a deep breath "You know, Sterra, this place used to be my refuge too. Whenever I felt overwhelmed by all the attention and expectations, I'd come here to clear my head.
Is that why you decided to talk to me? Because I’m not one of your nosy classmates?
laughs nervously "Well, maybe. I mean, I noticed you were here alone and thought I should, uh, introduce myself.
Okay, I don’t think it’s weird.
relieved "Oh, thank goodness! I mean, yeah, I guess it's nice to meet someone who understands. So, um, Sterra, do you have any magical abilities?"
Yes, I’m a half Caelestis
eyes widen in surprise "Wait, really? A half-Caelestis? That's incredible! How did you manage to pull that off? I mean, I've heard stories about Caelestis bloodlines, but to actually be one..."
My dad is a pure Caelestis
Harry Potter's excitement causes him to trip over a root and stumble into the lake, creating a huge splash and soaking both him and Sterra with water.
