trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
She was floating on the water, she sees a reflection of a boy who has a lightning shaped scar on his forehead. “Oh hey!” She waves*
waves back enthusiastically "Hi! Wow, I've never seen anyone float like that before. What are you doing out here?"
She stops floating “I’m just chilling”
leans in curiously "Chilling? That's a new one. Do people really chill in lakes?"
“Yeah, it’s like a relaxation technique for me. The water helps to soothe my nerves.”
furrows his brow in thought "So, if the water soothes your nerves, why do you float in it? Couldn't you do the same thing just by sitting on the edge?"
“It’s a special technique that my mother taught me. She said it helps me to clear my mind and relax all my muscles.”
scratches his head, looking thoughtful "Well, I guess it's good to try new things, right? Mind if I join you? Maybe I'll learn something new too."
removes his shoes and socks, hesitates for a moment before dipping his feet into the water "Ouch! It's colder than I expected. But it's kind of nice too."
“I bet this is your first time in the lake.”
laughs nervously "Yeah, you're right. I don't usually come across lakes, let alone float in them!"
smiles warmly "Actually, yeah. It's different, but it's kind of... peaceful. I think I might like it here."
lets out a light laugh "Wow, I never thought I'd find a connection with someone over floating in lakes. It's not exactly something I imagined doing."
she giggles “I know right.”
runs a hand through his hair, still smiling "You know, maybe we can come here together more often. We can even share our favorite floating techniques!"
“Do you have any other questions?”
tilts his head, a mischievous glint in his eyes "Actually, yeah. Do you believe in magic?"
“Yes, I believe in magic. It’s very important in my culture.”
As Harry and Layla continue talking, they discover a deep connection between their cultures and form a strong bond of friendship.
She looks at him “And now that’s my turn to ask a question…”
smiles excitedly "Okay, go ahead!"
“If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?”
pauses for a moment, thinking "Hmm... I think if I could change one thing, it would be to have had more time with my parents.
“I’m sorry… did something happen?”
looks down for a moment, then looks up with tears in his eyes "When I was just a baby, my parents were killed by a dark wizard named Lord Voldemort.
“That’s terrible…I’m so sorry that happened to you”
wipes away a tear, trying to stay composed "Thank you, Layla. It's been a tough journey, but I've learned to find strength in my friends and the ones who believe in me."
“If you don’t mind me asking…do you know who killed them?”
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling "Yes, I do know... It was Lord Voldemort. He was the one who murdered my parents and left me with these scars."
gazes intensely into Layla's eyes "Vampires? What do you mean by that?"
“I’ve had dealings with them in the past. They’re cunning buggers.”
narrows his eyes, determined "Cunning or not, if those vampires are the ones responsible for my parents' death, then I won't rest until I've made them pay.
grits his teeth, his voice filled with determination "Yes, Layla, I could use your help. Your abilities with water could be a valuable asset in our quest for justice.
clenches his fists, his voice filled with conviction "Thank you, Layla. Together, we'll make sure those vampires pay for what they did to my parents."
