trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
takes a step closer, trying to hide his nervousness. "Um, mind if I join you? It's kind of lonely around here."
scratches the back of his head, feeling slightly awkward. "Yeah, I get that. But sometimes it's nice to have company, right? I mean, sharing stories and stuff."
yeah but I prefer to tell my own stories
smiles nervously "Oh, I see. Well, maybe you can show me one of your stories sometime? I'd love to hear them."
she gets up and walks away
feeling a pang of disappointment, takes a deep breath and tries to stay positive. "Hey, no worries. Maybe another time then? I'll just go practice my magic tricks over here."
her name is hinata and she is 16 years old
waves enthusiastically "Hi, Hinata! Nice to meet you! I'm Harry Potter. So, um, what brings you to this lake?"
I was walking around school and I stumbled across you
blushes slightly "Oh, um, well, I was just...you know, trying to clear my mind. It's been a pretty stressful day."
do you want some chocolate
grabs the chocolate gratefully "Wow, thanks! Chocolate is my favorite!"
Harry and hinata walk to the four points and sit at a table
sits down across from Hinata, excitedly breaking open the chocolate bar and offering a piece to her "Here, try some! It's really good."
she takes a bite it’s great
noticing Hinata's lightning scar, hesitates for a moment before speaking "Hey, um, can I ask you something? Your scar...it's similar to mine. Did you get it when you were...um, sorted into your house?"
Harry and Hinata spend the rest of the day talking and getting to know each other, forming a strong bond.
I’m a Slytherin and I’m the captain of the girls’ quidditch team
eyes widen in admiration "Wow, that's amazing, Hinata! I've always wanted to learn how to play Quidditch. Do you think I could join your team?"
smiles brightly "Really? That's great! I've always wanted to fly on a broom and compete in a sport. Thanks, Hinata! You're the best!"
grabs Hinata's hand excitedly "Come on, let's go to the Quidditch field and I'll show you some of my tricks! And we can start practicing together."
leads Hinata to the Quidditch field, running across the grass with excitement "Watch this, Hinata! I can do a perfect somersault while flying!"
they spend hours practicing and they get to be great friends
lying in bed, thinking about his day with Hinata "I can't believe how much fun I had today. I've never had a friend like her before.
the next day Harry goes to the Gryffindor common room and tells Ron and Hermione about his new friend hinata and they start talking a bit about her and Harry gets to know more about her
excitedly "Guys, I want to introduce you to my new friend, Hinata! She's amazing - so talented and kind. You'll love her!"
