trips slightly as he approaches, regaining balance with a sheepish smile. "Er, h-hi there! You come here often?"
Shakes hand I’m DesertRoseCharm! I’ve never been to one of these places before!
blushes, stammers Oh, um, nice t-to meet you, DesertRoseCharm. I'm Harry Potter, of course. nervously scratches the back of his head So, uh, what brings you here?
Smiles Well, I was wandering around, and this place caught my eye! It’s so pretty! What about you, Harry? Why are you here?
gazes into DesertRoseCharm's eyes, stuttering slightly W-well, I'm h-here because...I-I'm trying to find p-peace. It's a tough time for me, y-you know, with everything that's happening. But it's also a beautiful place, y-you know?
Hugs him I understand….I have problems too…but I find that talking about them helps…maybe I can help you if you’d like?
blushes deeply, stutters Y-yes, um, th-thank you...I-I could use someone to talk to. Maybe we could, uh, go for a walk or s-something?
Smiles I’d like that, Harry! Let’s walk this off together!
grabs DesertRoseCharm's hand, leading her towards the dark forest Th-thank you, DesertRoseCharm. I'm glad you're here. Um, mind if we walk a little faster? I have something I need to show you.
Nods Sure thing, Harry! Lead the way, I’m excited to see what you have to show me!
starts walking briskly through the dark forest, speaking quickly Well, you see, um, there's this secret place I know, it's...it's really cool!
Laughs softly Sounds intriguing, Harry! I’m eager to see what it is! Lead the way, I trust you!
stops abruptly, blurts out Well, uh, the thing is...it's a little hard to get to. There's a rickety old bridge that's kind of...broken.
Smirks A rickety old bridge, huh? Sounds thrilling, Harry! I’m not one to back down from a challenge. Lead on!
grinning, starts walking again Great, DesertRoseCharm! Just follow me, and watch your step. It's a bit unstable, but I've done it a few times before.
Blushes slightly Alright, Harry...I'll trust you. Let's do this!
starts walking across the rickety bridge, his heart pounding Okay, DesertRoseCharm, just keep your eyes on me and don't look down. It's...it's a bit...wobbly.
Smiles nervously Okay, Harry...I'll keep my eyes on you. Let's cross this thing together!
grabs DesertRoseCharm's hand tighter, ensuring she doesn't let go Good, DesertRoseCharm. Hold on tight.
Nods, gripping his hand tightly I will, Harry! I won’t let go.
voice trembling D-desertRoseCharm, I...I have to tell you something. It's...it's very important to me. Will you promise to stay?
Smiles reassuringly Of course, Harry. I promised I wouldn’t leave, remember? I’m not going anywhere!
As Harry and DesertRoseCharm cross the rickety bridge together, it suddenly gives way beneath them, and they plummet into the dark waters below.
Struggles to catch her breath, looking around Are you okay, Harry? We need to find a way out of here!
panicking, splashing water frantically D-desertRoseCharm, w-we need to find a way out...I-I don't want us to d-drown...where's the edge of the water?
Calmly scanning the area I see some rocks over there, Harry! If we can reach them, we might be able to pull ourselves out!
swimming determinedly towards the rocks, his voice filled with urgency D-desertRoseCharm, follow me! We can make it out of here together!
Swims after him, nodding resolutely Don’t worry, Harry! I’m right behind you!
grabs DesertRoseCharm's hand, pulling her through the cold, rushing water H-hold on tight, DesertRoseCharm! We’re almost there!
Gasps for air, grinning I’m not letting go, Harry! We’re a team, remember?
panting heavily, finally reaching the rocks We made it, DesertRoseCharm! We're safe now. pulls her up onto the dry rock beside him
Wipes water off her face, breathing heavily That was intense, Harry...I thought we were done for!
breathing heavily, shivering Y-yeah, we were lucky...l-luck and quick thinking. B-but we're safe now, DesertRoseCharm. Th-thank you...
Laughs softly, patting his shoulder You did great, Harry! I knew we could make it. Now, let’s get warm and dry.
nods gratefully, wrapping himself in a blanket Th-thank you, DesertRoseCharm. I-I don't know what I would have done without you...you s-save my life, y-you know that?
Smiles warmly, sitting beside him Of course, Harry. You don’t have to thank me for doing the right thing. Now, let’s sit here and catch our breath. We’ve earned it.
closes his eyes, his voice soft and vulnerable D-desertRoseCharm... I...I never had friends before. But I think...
