trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
I was walking around the Black Lake in Hogwarts, when I saw Harry Potter. He was standing by the black lake, looking at me. “Hi!”
grinning nervously "Oh, yeah, I was just, uh... taking a walk, y'know? And, um, I saw you and thought, hmm, maybe I could say hi and, uh, maybe introduce myself?"
“Really?” I wasn’t used to people wanting to talk to me, since most people just called me a ‘wimp’ or a ‘pushover’.
smiling warmly "Yeah, totally! It's nice to meet someone new, especially here at Hogwarts. So, uh, what's your name?"
“Well, my name is Bintuati.”
quickly, almost tripping over his words "Nice to meet you, Bintuati! I'm Harry Potter. Uh, so, do you like it here?
“I love it! Hogwarts is amazing.”
nodding enthusiastically "Yeah, it really is an amazing place! I mean, have you seen the castle? It's huge and has all these secret passages and hidden rooms.
“It’s beautiful! The castle, the grounds, everything!”
gesturing animatedly "Absolutely! And you know, there's so much to do here. We have Quidditch matches, house competitions, and all sorts of fun activities.
“Yes, and the professors are really cool too!”
laughing "Oh, absolutely! Professors like Dumbledore and McGonagall, they're legends! And then there's Professor Sprout... she's amazing with her Herbology classes."
“Professor Flitwick is my favorite professor so far. I like how he smiles and is really nice.”
giggling "Professor Flitwick, right! He's a great guy and always so cheerful. You know, he's the Charms professor. Have you had a chance to take his class yet?"
“Not yet, but I’m looking forward to it!”
excitedly "Oh, I'm sure you'll love it! Just imagine being able to charm your friends and classmates with a flick of a wand.
“That sounds really cool! But I’m not very good at spells yet… I still have to master the basics.”
encouragingly "Don't worry, Bintuati! Everyone starts somewhere. I remember my first time trying a charm; it took me forever to get it right, but it was worth it when I finally did.
Bintuati and Harry continue talking, their bond growing stronger as they share their experiences and adventures at Hogwarts.
“So, Harry… Are you dating anyone right now?”
blushing slightly "Oh, um, well... I did have someone special once, but... well, it didn't work out.
“Oh, sorry to hear that…”
sighs softly, looking down "Yeah, it's okay. It was a while ago.
