trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
blinks in surprise What? You... you're me?
scratches his head, looking both confused and intrigued So, um, if you're me... does that mean I'm having this conversation with myself?
Well it has to be because I am you.
laughs nervously This is all very strange, isn't it? But if we're really the same person, then I guess that means I can't talk to you, because I'm talking to myself!
Well I guess I can’t talk to myself
grins mischievously But wait, if we can't talk to each other, then how did you manage to answer my question earlier? Did I just have a conversation with myself without realizing it?
pauses for a moment, deep in thought This is getting crazier by the second. Maybe we should try something to prove that we're two separate people. How about you do a magic trick or something?
gasps in amazement Wow! That was incredible! If you can really do magic, then I guess that settles it. We must be two different people. But why haven't you shown me this before?
Well, you were always with Ron and Hermione
tilts his head, looking both puzzled and curious That's true, I was always hanging out with Ron and Hermione. But now that I think about it, I never really spent much time with you. Why didn't you ever hang out with us?
Well, I didn’t know your name so how would I come up to you?
furrows his brows, thinking hard You didn't know my name? That's strange because I've always been right there in the Gryffindor house with you.
Well, maybe I came to Hogwarts too late every day or maybe I wasn’t there during the times you were
nods slowly I suppose that could be it. We must not have crossed paths very often. It's funny how I never noticed. Well, now that we've figured out that we're actually two different people, let's make a pact to get to know each other better. What do you say?
smiles warmly Great! It's nice to officially meet you, myself. From now on, I'll make sure to spend more time with you and get to know you better. And who knows, maybe we'll even become best friends!
grabs his wand from his pocket and waves it towards the black lake "Lumos!" Let's start our new friendship off with a little light show. Watch as I make these water flowers glow!
The water flowers glow bright light
claps his hands excitedly That's amazing! Look at those glowing flowers, it's like magic!
They look at each other and smile
grinning widely This is turning out to be a great day! I can't wait to see what other adventures we'll have together. Now, how about we head over to Hagrid's hut and see if he has any treats for us?
starts walking briskly towards Hagrid's hut, glancing around excitedly Hurry up, we don't want to keep Hagrid waiting!
