We're All Equal, Right? PV Henry Knight

The library, the one place Henry could go to be alone and either forget or think about his troubles. That year, the second year was almost always in the library because of everything on his mind and what not but he also almost never alone and instead someone always seemed to find him or he found them but never less that always meant less time to dwell on his problems even through in the end he would most likely find a new friend out of it.

That day Henry had four books stacked up in his hands, he left his messager type bag in his dormitory and instead if his normal attire he wore long, worn out black jeans and a slytherin sweater which was unusual for the second year to wear something of his house because most times he would try and hide the fact that he was even a slytherin probably how he got the nickname slytherin traitor among so many of his housemates. Anyway the blue eyed and dark brown haired boy was looking for a place to seat which bugged him since so many seemed to be full.

After a while however Henry finally found out where only one girl sat so Henry approached the chair opposite of her and spoke " would you mind if I joined you, mate," Henry then gave her a small smile " everywhere else is full."

After hearing her say that he can join her, Henry placed his small stacked on the table and sat down soon after he heard the girl introduced herself as Callista Lovis in which Henry smiled up at her and spoke " nice to meet you Callista, I'm Henry, uh just Henry," he again kept his surname hidden at the moment and almost always Henry rarely introduced himself with his surname anymore mostly because he didn't want to be part of his father's or mother's family at the moment but everything can change.

Henry took one of the books off his stack and opened it to the first page but instead of reading, Henry looked up at the girl and decided to speak " do you come here offtened? I usually come to the library a lot myself," Henry thought he might recognized the girl but couldn't be sure before he remembered that he was wearing a slytherin sweater and decided to speak up again " I'm not like most Slytherin's by the way, actually I'm nothing like Slytherin's and a few of them like to call me slytherin traitor for all the time I hang out with hufflepuff's and Ravenclaw's," Henry smiled then looked back at the book as he thought he said to much.

Henry listened to Callista and smiled when he heard that she said that she did come there offended, it was a weird question but Henry didn't know what to ask or how to start a conversation with someone in the library who was moments ago reading so Henry just nodded as he was about to start reading but instead he saw her looking at the titles so Henry showed her the title which was a black spine book with simple lettering in the cover as Henry himself spoke " it's a book on advanced astronomy, I always liked the class well actually I always liked every class. I'm a bit of a geek if you couldn't tell before," Henry laughed a but at his answer before going back to his book but longing to talk to her more.

Henry heard her reply or speak it struck him as odd, so he closed his book and smiled as her before speaking " I have nothing wrong with Ravenclaw's or Hufflepuff's, my best friend is a hufflepuff and lots of my close friends are Ravenclaw's," Henry would then add in his head, also my girlfriend is ravenclaw to, but Henry wouldn't dare to say this as he thought of Logan and Miranda his best friend and girlfriend before speaking again " they call me a traitor because I spend all my time with others and don't really have too many friends in Slytherin's, actually I have more enemies in my own house than friends but I do have two uh close friends in Slytherin's," Henry wouldn't call them close but he definitely would call Cash and Nick his friends.

Henry couldn't help but laugh a little when the girl say she was a geek to before asking what his favorite class way, Henry however said " we could be geek friends then," Henry smiled a bit at her clearly enjoying talking to her before adding " my favorite classes are astronomy, charms, potions, transfiguration, and next year when I can take them it will also he ancient runes and care of magical creatures," Henry took a breath before then adding " what classes are you looking forward to then?" Henry shut his book as he looked up at Callista and smiled, he clearly enjoyed talking to her and getting to know her.

However Henry couldn't help but wonder why she keep bringing up being friends with different houses and why it matter, Henry was about to speak before she then ask if he knew what house she was in. Henry then spoke " no and I never cared for houses really, I'm friends with anyone really," Henry smiled as her before continuing " some people care about houses and believe others to be enemies if their not in their house that's why. I don't and lucky for me none if my friends do either," Henry gave her another smile.

Henry couldn't help but smile when Callista spoke about looking forward to those classes as well and being a bit nervous for flying, did I just find someone else who enjoys classes and knowledge like me? A fellow geek and occasionally it all... maybe she comes to the library a lot to and I could meet up with her to read and chat. As Henry pulled himself out of his thoughts he then begun to speak " most of the classes are bloody interesting and purely amazing, I could even help you with a few if you want or if you don't understand something in them?" Henry offered his tutoring with a smile before continuing " and flying isn't scary don't worry, its actually quite peaceful and calming to be up there. Maybe we could practice sometime? Quidditch on the other hand can be a bit scary which is why I stick to watching instead of playing."

Henry wanted to chat more but didn't know what, he hated that when he didn't feel anxious or awkward and wanted to talk but couldn't think of anything to say. As he thought he heard her speak again and couldn't help but add in " don't worry mate, I don't judge. I'm probably way more awkward then you anyway," Henry gave her a smile before continuing " house rivalries just been a thing for years, centuries even and no one question it. Some don't care while some do, I don't really pay attention to it and why should we, like you said your house destiny define you or your friends."
