trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
No one really knew what they saw that day, but one thing is for certain. It was something so unexpected that no one was prepared for it It all started on a seemingly normal day when Harry was walking around the black lake, when he noticed a strange person sitting on a log in front of him, where he decided to go up to the strange person and say hello
waves enthusiastically "Hey there! What brings you out here? Are you... new in town?"
The strange person looked at him, making eye contact and not breaking it, this whole time not saying anything. He just bit his lip a couple of times
stutters nervously "Uh, so... do you... uh, speak? Or are you... like, mentally challenged or something?" laughs awkwardly
He laughed a little himself "Mentally challenged? No, I wasn't mentally challenged, although I think I was mentally challenged, and mentally exhausted, tired, and drained, but not permanently. I just needed someone to talk to, and I couldn't find anyone..."
blinks in surprise, then smiles warmly "Well, you've found someone to talk to now! I'm Harry, by the way.
He smiled back, seeming very gentle and soft-spoken "I'm sorry if I seem a little... odd. I guess I just needed someone to talk to, and I couldn't find anyone else..."
waves hand dismissively "Oh, don't worry about it! You're fine, really. So, um, what's your name? And how about I get us some tea?
He seemed so sweet, and gentle, and calm, and patient "My... my name is... is Evan... I'm sorry if that's not the right name..."
smiles reassuringly "Evan? That's a perfectly fine name. It suits you well, actually. And don't worry about not being... well, you know. We all have our quirks and oddities.
He nodded "It's just... sometimes I forget how to speak... or what to say... or how to act... it happens sometimes..."
nods understandingly "Oh, I see. Well, don't worry about it. I mean, sure, it can be a bit weird sometimes, but hey, we all have our moments, right?
He nodded again "I guess you're right... and I'm sorry if I make you uncomfortable..."
shakes head quickly "No, no, don't apologize! I promise you, it's completely fine. Besides, I'm glad I could help. So, um, tell me more about yourself, Evan. What are your hobbies or interests?"
He thought for a moment "Hobbies or interests... well, I like to draw... and watch the stars... and read..."
raises an eyebrow "Drawing, watching the stars, and reading? You seem like quite the intellectual!
He chuckled a little "I try to be... but I know I could be better..."
laughs "Well, that's a humble answer! But hey, who says you can't be better? Maybe I could help you explore your interests more.
He looked surprised "Really? You'd... do that for me?"
grins widely "Of course, I'd be happy to help! After all, I'm all about helping people discover their passions.
He seemed surprised at first, and then he smiled "That's really nice of you... thank you..."
smirks playfully "Well, don't mention it! Besides, I think it'll be fun for me too.
He smiled back "Thanks, Harry... I think it will be fun too..."
playfully nudges Evan "Great! Then let's get started right away! How about we head to the library?
He stood up, looking back at Harry "The library... okay... let's go..."
leads the way towards the library, walking briskly "Alright, follow me!
He followed behind Harry, looking around curiously After a few moments of walking, they arrived at the library, a large, wooden building filled with rows of bookshelves and the soft hum of conversation.
gestures grandly "Welcome to Hogwarts' grand library! It's filled with thousands of books on every subject imaginable.
He looked around, wide-eyed "Wow... this is amazing... I've never seen anything like it..."
smirks confidently "Well, hold on tight, Evan! I'm about to show you the magic of this place!"
He smiled, intrigued "Magic? What do you mean?"
winks mischievously "Watch closely, Evan! This library holds more than just books.
He tilted his head, clearly fascinated "More than just books?"
snaps his fingers, causing a bookshelf to move aside, revealing a hidden room "Ta-da!
He gasped, clearly amazed "How... how did you do that?"
grins mischievously "That, my friend, is a trade secret! But trust me, in this school, magic happens every day.
He looked around, mesmerized by what he saw "This place... it's incredible... there's so much to learn here..."
excitedly "Exactly! And I'm going to help you learn it all!
