Trapped in the Study Room PV Min-seo Finished

Min-seo’s little Mary Jane shoes clicked against the wood as she entered the Study room. It was quite a gloomy day, the rain pouring in bunches and the sky was a dark grey. She didn’t mind the rain, but she didn’t have much to do. She had her tote bag over her shoulder. She had in it some quills, a small thing of ink, parchment, and a book. She thought she may as well get some of the summer homework done while she could. She wondered where she could sit. It seemed like everywhere was full. She sat down next to a fifth year girl who had her nose stuck in a book. She gave Min a glare. Min looked down in shame and stood back up. ”I’m sorry,” she whispered. She saw other students glaring at the fifth year as she went to find another place. She decided to sit next to a boy on one of the couches. He seemed nice enough, and familiar for some reason. She sat down and pulled out the book for homework. She began to read it. It wasn’t that interesting to be honest, she was more interested in transfiguration rather than herbology, but she had to get it over with.

Min-seo kept turning the pages in boredom. “Min?” she tensed up as she heard the familiar voice she had heard all those years ago. She turned slowly to face the boy beside her. She dropped her book in shock, making a thud on the ground. ”Isaiah?” she said softly. She turned red and picked up the book she dropped. No way. Hold on one minute. Isaiah Lewis? What was he doing here? The Isaiah Lewis she knew? It had to be. Her childhood friend, going to Hogwarts? How come she didn’t know sooner? How could she forget the boy that she used to play with a long time ago? They had so many memories, and she just forgot them when she was going to move to a different part of England. It never happened though. She stayed right where she was, but that was right before she came to Hogwarts, and she forgot to tell him she wasn’t moving. She just stared at him in shock. She never knew he was a wizard. That might’ve been her naivety, but it sure was unexpected. She smiled at him. ”How are you? I haven’t talked to you in ages.” she said, still in shock.

She smiled. This was a really weird encounter, but it probably would’ve happened at one point. ”That’s good. You do seem like a Gryffindor, so I’m not surprised,” she said softly. She could totally see Isaiah in Gryffindor. In her mind, he seemed like the type. He was brave and such. She paused for a second as he asked what house she was in. It was an innocent question, but Min-seo looked down in a bit of shame. ”Slytherin. I don’t know why though, even though it’s been a year.” she said. Min-seo still didn’t know why that sorting hat placed her in Slytherin. She wasn’t like the stereotypical one, she wasn’t ambitious (at least that’s what she thought), and none of her family were sorted into it. Most of them were Ravenclaws. She feels like she dishonored her family. The only one who’d been in Slytherin was her Godfather. She nodded, braking out of her thoughts. ”I know! That’s crazy. Maybe we saw each other in passing? And I don’t know how I didn’t see you at the Sorting,” she said with a smile. She noticed some students staring. Right. They were in a study room. She didn’t know if it would be the best idea to talk here since it was so damn quiet.

Isaiah frowned slightly when Min-seo mentioned that she was in Slytherin. He wasn't angry or disappointed, just very confused. When Min said that she didn't know why, he couldn't blame her. As hard as he tried, he couldn't manage to imagine Min as ambitious or cunning. Although, to be fair to the Sorting Hat, she was rather smart. Isaiah hadn't seen her in such a long time, though, so maybe she had changed in those two years.
"Slytherin doesn't have the best reputation, and I can't really see you in that house either" he admitted. "But I reckon you should still be proud of it. My sister, she's a Slytherin, and no-one can outsmart her."

Isaiah moved closer to Min, so that he was facing her, and smiled widely at her. As much as he tried to get over it, he couldn't. He had many fond memories of himself and Min back when they were younger, and seeing her again was like seeing a dead friend return from the dead. Well, that was a slight exaggeration, but he had still missed her loads. There was so much stuff he didn't know, but wanted to. Where should he start?
"So," Isaiah started. "Do you like Hogwarts? It's pretty crazy, right? Do you like the classes, do you have a favourite one? Some of them are really interesting, but others make me fall asleep."

Min-seo fiddled with her hands as she saw Isaiah frown. Was he upset? She nodded. ”I know. I don’t really know what the sorting hat was thinking when he put me in Slytherin. I’m slightly proud but at the same time ashamed of its reputation. I’m surprised I have yet to see your sister,” she said. She didn’t know his sister very well, but she had seen her a few times a long time ago. It was crazy that all of these memories came rushing back to her in the most abrupt way. She remembered how nice his family had been and how patient they were with a kid who barely spoke English and was trying to learn. She was now fluent of course (well, almost) so that was good. She smiled at Isaiah and turned to face him. ”I love it. Most of the people here are nothing but kind to me, but there are some that are horrible so that’s the only downfall. As for classes, I like all of them, but herbology isn’t my favorite, along with History of magic. What about you? How are you enjoying things? she said. She didn’t realize how much she’d missed talking to Isaiah.

"My favourite subject is Potions," Isaiah told Min. "I like it because it's practical, and you're always moving. I enjoy that. My worst is Transfiguration, though. The whole class is basically theory, and I get really bored."
Isaiah was about to continue, to say that while he enjoyed Herbology, especially when there were huge, dangerous-looking plants, he agreed that History of Magic definitely wasn't the best subject.

It was the Year Five, who had given both of them a rude look when they had begun to talk. She had brown hair, tightly tied up in a high, elaborate bun, slightly freckled skin, a button-like nose and wore the Ravenclaw scarf around her neck. She walked over purposely, with her hands on her hips, and eyebrows furrowed. The girl definitely wasn't happy, and stopped when she reached the couch where Isaiah and Min were sitting.
"If you don't mind," she said, in a high voice, clearly annoyed by the two of them. "Some of us are actually working in this room; so could you be quiet? Or just go away?" She then waited for a reply, eyebrows raised.

Isaiah glared at the girl, irritated by her. Min and himself where having a perfectly normal conversation, and no-one else in the study room seemed bothered by their presence.
"You could at least say please," he retorted back.

Min-seo smiled. "I like Potions as well. And Transfiguration isn't bad, I actually enjoy it! If you focus you can totally understand it," she said. She was one of those people who were pretty brilliant, but if they didn't like the class, then she wouldn't do amazing, but she'd still pass. She noticed the girl who glared at her for sitting next to her had come up to them with a snooty expression like she was better than everyone here. She seemed horrible, and she was in her brother's house, and in his year. She didn't recognize her though, she had never seen her in her time at Hogwarts.

"If you don't mind," she said, in a high voice, clearly annoyed by the two of them. "Some of us are actually working in this room; so could you be quiet? Or just go away?" She then waited for a reply, eyebrows raised.

Min-seo cowered slightly, being the shy person she was. This wasn't fair. You shouldn't talk to people like that. She was irritated, but she was too scared and frozen in place to do anything. Why must she be so shy that she couldn't say a word. Isaiah said something though, so it was okay.
