The murmured statement of his current company took him be surprise, he thought that he would have been the only one to think that way, the fact that somebody else also found it interesting, he felt accepted. “They are.” Minhyun whispered softly to the other lad indirectly. Just as those two words escaped his mouth, he looked back into his book, paying attention word after word though it was strange how another person is sitting in his company. It felt all too strange, he wasn’t used to this.

“Pity that we’re in the minority,” he sighed, pursing his lips as he thought of the narrow minded wizards he had met before. His eyes were still reading the printed words but his attention was diverted elsewhere. Daehyun found it odd — usually he could concentrate on reading no matter the distractions but perhaps having encountered a fellow housemate who seemed to share his interests in muggle books proved to be far more interesting than the book he was reading. “Jung Daehyun,” the blonde muttered, finding it awkward that he was the one who introduced first. Usually others had to approach him and introduce themselves to get him talking but at the current situation, he was the one trying to start a conversation.

(/ suddenly chuckles to herself) I remember I was so excited that I climbed onto the roof of my house and started drawing immediately- I was too stubborn and didn’t get down until I had finished…(/ grins at you before turning her attention to your notebook) What do you write in here?

{` hums in response, admiring the drawing } wow, you were already this good when you were that age . . i’m sure this sketchbook will show how much you’ve grown as an artist. {` remarks wistfully, flipping the pages } how long did it take you to finish it? {` chuckles at your memory, a pang of envy hits him when you talk about your mother but he brushes it off } i write stuff i encounter. people, things, feelings. sometimes stories.

{` nods again } mhm. {` carefully accepts the sketchbook offered to him with a small smile on his face } in return, you can read the stuff i’ve written so far . . {` offers shyly as he flips open the cover page of the sketchbook slowly, his eyes taking in the sight of a beautifully sketched scenery } where is this? {` his fingertips grazes the lead printed on the rough paper }

Minhyun jumped slightly at the voice coming next to him, it startled him a lot. Not a lot of people would be seen talking to him actually, he prefers it that way but for this random student to pop in and say something, it shocked the life out of him. “Yes, you’ve got a problem with it?” his eyes looked away from the book, making contact with his current company. Silently he studied the lad. His looks are pretty much average, as average as it gets in Hogwarts that is, and he too is a fellow Ravenclaw, it seems.

Shaking his head silently at the other’s retort, he was slightly amused by the accusatory tone evident in the male’s voice. He had a right to be offended, Daehyun mused. “Muggle books are fascinating,” he murmured, opening the book he had chosen to read this time around. Ignoring the fact that his tablemate was staring at him, he began reading, eager to delve himself into the world of fiction and muggle hypothesis. He made mental notes along the way, trying to remember the ideas and quotes that striked him as brilliant for future writing purposes.

ravenhyun:

The classes has ended, the students are frolicking around whether they run around the school building, having some tea with their peers, simply chatting or making mischief, everyone is doing something and with some one.

All except one. All with the exception of one Hwang Minhyun.

He is spending his time in the library, burying his nose in a book. A fairy tale book written by muggles. It was complete nonsense but he doesn’t show any sign of putting the book down.

Muggles are just an interesting subject, not that he would actually work in the study of muggles. No, there’s more than that for the lad. Yet there he is, sitting all by himself in the huge library with a book exactly like the loner he is.

Brushing the tips of his fingers along the spines of the old dusty books that filled the bookshelves, his eyes scanned for an interesting read. Ticking off the boring titles mentally in his head one by one, he halted to a stop at a familiar title. “What’s a muggle book like you doing in the potions section?” he murmured to no one in particular. He reached out for the book and quickly retrieved it from the shelf. Now his next hurdle was to find a spot to sit. Daehyun took a moment to contemplate the very serious manner before deciding to sit down at a table that only had one occupant. As he settled himself down onto his new reading spot, he spotted the other reading a muggle fairytale. “Fairy tales?” the Ravenclaw piqued curiously, it wasn’t every day you encounter a wizard in Hogwarts reading a muggle fairy tale.

(/ shuffling slightly over to give the boy more space while silently observing him and his actions before she decided she could use a nice conversation which was also, the first since she arrived) Yes, I draw whenever I have time- (/ she smiles to herself as she glances back at her nearly full sketchbook) Do you? (/ she inquires before questions started to form in her head- she barely knew anything about where she was since she was new)

{` purses his lips as he looks at your sketchbook curiously, nodding slowly at your question } i do. i prefer writing but sketching is quite a nice hobby. {` a rare soft smile appears on his normally blank face; biting his lips as he stares at the nearly filled to the brim book } can i . . ? {` blinks as he motioned towards the book }

(/Jia suddenly feels a presence making its way towards her and sitting himself down on the bench next to her.) Ah, so it’s not completely deserted here…(/she thinks to herself, slightly annoyed of the interruption but nevertheless finishes off the detail she is currently working on before she lifts her head to greet the stranger with a smile) Ah…hello there

{` nods back in response, before deciding to at least be friendly with the girl whose privacy he had invaded for the sake of his own selfish reasons } hello. you draw? {` asks politely, noting that she was in the same house as he was; shuffling the items he had been carrying in his arms about the bench, eager to start writing }

A young day blessed Zelo with his freshly washed hair as he stepped out from the building and into the outside world. His big footsteps walking aimlessly to the far end of nowhere, it was time to take some things off of his mind from the stress of school and home sickness. The Sun alone seemed to be doing a good job in calming his thoughts as his legs brought him into a garden-like area. Students that seemed like first years were scattered about and seeing that suddenly made him turn away. They always annoyed him.

As if he was walking back to where he came from, his surrounds became different to how it was before and he eventually came across another part of that garden-like place. Zelo groaned as a Frisbee whipped straight past in front of his face and he ducked in annoyance as another went straight past him. His height did come of annoyance at times but that was just one thing to add to his many problems he could never solve. Turning directions with a hand as his shade he spotted a boy that didn’t seem too young sitting back to the tree and being the cheeky boy he was, he strolled over to see what seemed like a scrapbook and ink, his head cocking in appreciation. “You okay here?” He joked as a soft smile brushed upon his lips, his teeth showing a few seconds after.

Blinking as he heard a voice pop out of nowhere, he wondered whether it was directed towards him or to another passerby. Raising his head, a tall lanky male with a nice shade of blue hair was staring right at him. Pointing a finger at himself, trying to see whether the other was talking to him, he blinked again before realising that the male had posed a question. Nodding silently as a response, he let his eyes take in the sight of the other boy, noting that he was a Gryffindor. “Blue hair but a lion?” he piped out curiously, finding it ironic that the younger male was sporting his house’s colour. “I figured you would go for red instead,” Daehyun murmured, scooting over slightly so the other could sit down besides him if he wished to do so. Having accustomed himself to how it was normal for strangers to sit down at a spot and spend some quality time together, he wasn’t keen on being cold at all times anymore. Not to mention that the blue-haired boy fascinated him. His fingers twitched for his muggle pen, eager to jot down poetic similes about the other.

(/still wondering why the hallways were so empty, Jia guided herself through the empty corridors and stepped outside; meeting the gentle breeze. She spotted a lone bench not far from where she stood and strolled towards it, sitting down and finally opening her sketchbook for the first time since she arrived. Jia took out her pencil and stared blankly at the scenery Hogwarts had to offer her before she placed lead to paper)

{` looks around the school grounds, scanning a place for him to sit down and write his thoughts but frowns as he realises that nearly all of his ideal places to spend some alone time was taken } blast the shining sun. {` sighs as he spots at least a seat besides what seemed like a quiet girl } she’s an artist? {` mumbles to himself, words flowing through his mind about how he could depict the female as in his journal later on — walks towards the bench and sits down carefully next to the busy female }

Oh. I’m not the best at potions, but I can try to help? I vaguely remember completing such a task last year. (/he’s still quiet, glancing to each of the parchments he’s graced with) Yeah, it’s not bad at all. Better than mine. (/he mumbled, eyes flickering back to the essay) You should plan your essay; pick different sections and different points. It’ll make your work more efficient, and you can use a lot of your work here to help you. Just jumble a few bits up and it’ll be fine.

{` nods slowly in response, appreciating the help that you offered } i’m sure you’ll remember the details once you reread the task . . {` blinks, not sure how to respond to what seemed like a positive comment on his writing skills — leaning in forwards slightly to listen attentively to your advice } i see . . {` a pout appears on his face, a rare occurrence as he bashfully admits to the other } i’ve always been bad at organising and planning stuff . . i prefer to write whatever pops into my mind.

Even if the response was something that she had never imagined it would be, she somehow felt fine of it. Though she had to admit that it did arouse awkwardness in the air but she wanted a company after all. It was fine for her if the company of hers wasn’t much of a talker himself, but surely he’ll talk sooner or later right? As if nothing happened, she just took a seat next to the Ravenclaw, opting a bit of distance as she didn’t want people to misunderstood her intentions. “Well.” She started to speak up and inhaled a large sum of air. “I’m sorry if I interrupt your lovely time eating, but its just I needed some company and you sorta looked like you needed one.” Jiyeon mused whilst flashing her smile. It dawned to her that it was quite the while since she had croissants, the last time was around a few months back and she was feeling like having those at the moment. “Um, if you don’t mind, can I have some of that? I haven’t had those in ages!” She stated and let out a short giggle afterwards but deep down, she was sort of nervous of his reaction. Asking for food even when you don’t know well about each other.

Blinking at how close she was, he turned his head curiously before reaverting his attention back onto his food. Perhaps it was something normal people did — getting close with strangers. Logically, it would be hard to make friends if people didn’t bother to trudge over the lines that marked people’s personal space. He mused over this theory, as he was still a beginner when it came to socialising with people his age. Raising his head from his croissant as the female began to speak, his ears perked up to listen attentively to whatever she had to say. Even if he wanted to block out her mindless chattering, he wouldn’t be able to do so as one of his bad traits was to listen to conversations that did not involve him. It was one of his ways to get information without having to approach or ask anyone and he preferred it that way. The sound of her giggles snapped him out of his train of thoughts, as he stared at th— ah, she’s a Gryffindor.That explained everything. He broke his croissant in his hands into two before handing the unbitten part of the bread towards the other. Sharing food reminded him of his orphanage days, in where he had to share food with the other orphans.

(/giggles unable to help herself). Wow… So many people round here are so conscious of their space… (/laughs again) I’m sorry. I do it all the time. Just shoo me away if I get too close. (/sighs) I’m bad at explaining, but pizza is amazing, pizza balls are amazeballs. That’s the analogy. (/smiles widely) I gotta teach you more slang, dude. Like… Um… Blick. Block. Bluck. But that’s for another time… (/waves her hands around her head, realizing she’s getting carried away). Mm, well, what are you into? Like hobby-wise?

{` blinks, slightly confused as you start to giggle } oh. {` hums as he shrugs casually } maybe we all have different views on how close is too close. {` purses his lips before nodding silently to affirm that he’ll remind you when you get too close again } pizza? {` licks his lip, realising that he had yet to eat lunch } pizza. amazeballs. {` repeats to himself } blick? block? bluck? {` sputters out the odd slang words } what’s all that? {` tilts his head before replying quietly } i like to read and write.

(/his voice is still just as quiet and soft; partly because of the requirements in the library, but mainly because he’s shy and suddenly regrets approaching you. he glances over the words and nods in understanding) What exactly are you having trouble with; there was no need to cross it out. A lot of it was good, it just needed some rearranging.

{` licks his dry lips before replying } potions. it’s about the timing of ingredient plucking and seasons changes. like how they’re connected and stuff. {` shrugs as he fumbles around to explain the topic of his essay, sliding the parchments across to you, watching your face with curiosity } … really? {` furrows his eyes, masking his surprised reaction with confusion instead } i just found so many mistakes, though . . {` frowns }

Feeling rather bored since she had no company with her, everyone was rather busy themselves. Not that she didn’t have work to do, she had done finishing her tasks and was currently in the state of both boredom and albeit lonely—which resulted her to take up her brown hard cover notebook to walk towards the Great Hall. Finding a few of Hogwarts population being present, but they were already busy with each other so Jiyeon didn’t bother to disturb them. As she made her way to the Gryffindor’s table, she spotted a fellow student who was actually sitting alone on the Ravenclaw table. Though she knew well it wasn’t Sungmin or Youngjae, she decided to approach the unknown figure anyway. “Um, excuse me, do you mind if I sit next to you?” She asked, awaiting patiently for the reply of the boy who was only beside her.

He was just about indulge himself with some lovely croissants when a shadow loomed over him, causing him to raise his head to face the source of the voice. Staring at the other female blankly, he shrugged in response. Daehyun didn’t exactly wanted company but at the same time, he’d have to get used to interacting with people so in the end, he opted for shrugging rather than nodding or shaking his head. Ambiguous answers were sometimes the best answer. The Ravenclaw shifted his attention back onto his meal, biting on the soft bread quietly as possible, his eyes scanning the hall. The dining hall back in the orphanage was small, while the one in his mansion was large but the Great Hall was infinitely larger. The thought of having to sit in such a place when it was at its peak made him shudder slightly.
