trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
walks up to you Yo can I ask you somethings?
smiles nervously, scratching his head "Of course, I mean, why not? What's your name?"
Terry but my friends call me Terryli
nods, trying to remember "Terryli... Okay, that's nice. Um, how did you end up here?"
well it all started when I was a kid
leans in, genuinely interested "Wow, really? Do tell! I love hearing stories."
I had been bullying when I was a kid and one day a strange person came to my school and gave me a choice to come with him or I would die
narrows his eyes, his protective instincts kicking in "Who was this person? Did they hurt you?"
he said he was a muggle and he brought me to this lake
gently touches Interryli's arm "You don't have to continue if you're not comfortable. I'm here for you."
takes a deep breath, determined "Alright, Terryli. I want to help you. We need to find out who this man was and make sure he can't hurt anyone else.
but before I say what he looked like I want to know something
raises an eyebrow, intrigued "What do you want to know, Terryli?"
blushes slightly, stutters "Uhm, my name's Harry Potter. But everyone calls me 'Harry'. I'm sorry, did that embarrass you?"
smiles brightly "Great! So, now that we know each other's names, let's figure out how to deal with this guy from your past.
okay so he is very tall and has a long red beard and he lives in the forest near the forest closest to the school
pauses, thinking deeply "Tall, red beard, lives in the forest... Sounds like a pretty dangerous guy. We'll have to be careful.
oh and he has a giant snake named lord voldemort
gasps, his eyes widening in shock "Lord Voldemort?! You're not kidding! This is serious trouble we're dealing with, Terryli!"
stands up straight, determination shining in his eyes "Yes, I've had some... encounters with Lord Voldemort. He's incredibly powerful and dangerous.
grabs Interryli's shoulders, looking them in the eye "I was attacked by his followers, the Death Eaters, and then he tried to kill me himself.
you are the one that made those things disappear?
grinning confidently "Yeah, that's me! I discovered I had this magical ability to make things disappear. It's called 'Accio'.
extends his hand towards Interryli "But enough about me, Terryli. I want to learn more about you.
starts pacing back and forth, excitement evident in his voice "Tell me about your life before you came here. Where did you live? Who were the important people in your life?"
well I lived with my parents till I was 3 then they divorced and I went with my mom and she remarried and I got two step siblings and then she died and I was adopted by my step father but he adopted me so I couldn’t afford Hogwarts so I used to sneak into the school and go to classes and one day I met a teacher
leans forward, hanging onto every word "Wow, what a complicated history you've had, Terryli. I'm impressed that you managed to sneak into Hogwarts.
