trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
He was sitting on a tree branch looking at the water
takes a step closer, trying to hide his nervousness. "Mind if I join you? I'm Harry, by the way. What's your name?"
smiles warmly "Nice to meet you, Noah. So, what brings you to this beautiful place? Are you a student at Hogwarts?"
“yeah I’m in my first year”
nods, taking a deep breath "First year, huh? That means we're in the same year! Which house are you in? Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff?"
grinning "Wow, a Gryffindor! That's awesome. You know, my dad was also a Gryffindor. He always believed in courage and determination.
starts to open up, his voice softening "Yeah, he was the bravest man I've ever known. Always standing up for what was right, even when it was dangerous.
noticing Noah's distraction "Noah, are you okay? Is everything alright?"
pauses, gathering his thoughts "You know, Noah, if you ever need someone to talk to or someone to lean on, I'm here for you.
extends his hand for a handshake "I look forward to getting to know you better, Noah. Let's be friends?"
smiling brightly "That's great, Noah! Friends it is. Maybe we can study together sometime, or practice spells.
pulls out a map from his bag "Hey, Noah, do you want to explore the Hogwarts grounds together? There are so many hidden corners and secrets to discover!"
excitedly starts pointing at various locations on the map "Alright, first, we'll head to the forbidden forest.
“oh but I thought that was off limits”
grinning mischievously "Well, Noah, that's the fun part! We'll sneak past the guards and explore the unknown.
whispering conspiratorially "But remember, we have to be careful. If any of the teachers catch us, we could get into serious trouble. We don't want to end up in detention, do we?"
starts walking towards the edge of the castle grounds "Come on, Noah, let's go before anyone notices. We'll climb over the fence and make our way into the forbidden forest. It's not far from here."
he climbed the tree and then went to the edge
looks at Noah with a mix of excitement and nervousness "Are you ready, Noah? This is going to be an adventure like no other!"
grabs Noah's hand and squeezes it "Alright, let's go! On the count of three, we jump!"
“3” they both jumped over the fence
pulls out a flashlight from his bag "Now, let's find a nice spot to set up camp. We'll spend the night in the forest, just like true adventurers!"
skips ahead, leading the way through the dense trees "Follow me, Noah! I know all the secret spots in this forest.
starts setting up a tent "Alright, Noah, let's get this tent up quickly. We'll need somewhere safe and dry to rest for the night.
“ok but maybe we should eat first”
pauses, considering Noah's suggestion "You know what, Noah? I think you're right.
