Finally We Meet
After the class he had before lunch, Jimin collected all of his books and quills and parchment, and headed down to the Black Lake. Recently he had become writing buddies with this girl in Gryffindor, whose name was Paige, through her writing him an owl one day. For some reason Jimin was more confident throw the letters than he is in real life, and he was worried Paige wouldn't like him for being so different than over the owl post. Today was the day they had arranged to finally meet up; Jimin had said he needed help with learning how to pronounce spells (I mean he does, but the wasn't the reason he wanted to see Paige). In reality Jimin was itching to find out the face who went with the name.
Jimin had reminded Paige with an owl he hoped had arrived earlier that morning, that he would be set up with all his stationary under the dark ash tree closest to the patch of fuzzy dandelions. As Jimin waited, a cloud of anxiety and worry began to grow heavy in the pit of his stomach, making his body cringe and fidget about until the storm had cleared. He hadn't asked what subject in which classroom Paige had right now, so he had no way of predicting her arrival; whether she was just approaching the tree, or she had to go down two or more floors to actually reach where he was.
Opening up his textbooks and a copy of Standard Book Of Spells he had bought in Diagon Alley, Jimin tapped his knee with his wand, feeling the uncomfortable sensation of another storm of anxiety filling his stomach. He stared out absently at the ripples of the dark water in the lake that lay before him, mumbling a Korean lullaby under his breath, that his mother used to gracefully sing to him when he was much younger to get him to sleep.

Finally We Meet
Paige cursed loudly. She piled all her things in her bag, rushing to leave the classroom. Running down the stairs, she was holding her bag tightly. Books, quills, and her wand were on the verge of spilling out, and all over the stone floor. She rushed outside to the warmish weather, and glanced around. She took the crumpled note out of her pocket, and looked at it.
"The Lake.." she muttered. She suddenly stopped dead in her tracks. Paranoia took over her body.
'What if its a trap? What if he's mean? What if..' A list of possible bad outcomes flooded into her mind. She shook her head.
'Nothing's going to happen, you're just being stupid' She still couldn't move her body. She was frozen with worry.
'Go you idiot' She moved, walking slowly. Anxiety had always been a big part of her life, ever since the age of 4. That, and mild depression. She glanced around once more.
'Just go, you're already late enough' She walked over to the lake, where she saw a boy, she guessed it was Jimin, sitting under a dark ash tree. He had his supplies out around him.
Paige approached him, shyly waving.
"Um.. hi" She smiled, giggling a little. "It's me, Paige. Paige Woods"

Finally We Meet
A soft hi in a female voice brought Jimin out of his absent-mindedness. He turned around, expecting to see a girl with shoulder-length curly blonde hair and dashing blue eyes -- how he imagined almost every caucasian female before travelling to Europe. But, instead, he came face to face with an average-height girl with long, flowing brown hair and bright eyes of a colour he couldn't distinguish.
"Paige..." Jimin mumbled. He wasn't always the fondest of girls, after hearing petty urban legends surrounding mangled or evil versions of them, but seeing Paige filled him with a bright, warm feeling of euphoria that he had never felt before. Wanting to make a good first face-to-face impression, he scrambled up and held his hand out to shake Paige's. "It's great to... it's great to finally meet you in person," Jimin said, bowing slightly. He stepped back, almost tripping over his bag as he went to sit back down. Not wanting Paige to fall over, Jimin moved his bag to the other side and patted the space of warm grass next to him.
This is so weird... Jimin thought; he hadn't expected Paige to look this way, or sound this way when she spoke the few words she did. When he heard the name 'Paige' he immediately imagined blonde hair and blue eyes and a sassy voice, but he tried to not expect that when he thought back to when Paige said she was quite awkward and similarly-natured to him. Jimin smiled down at his shoes, chewing on the tip of his tongue as he tried to contain his excitement.
