As Apollo strolled through the expansive Hogwarts courtyard, he spotted a large, comfortable-looking stool nestled in a quiet corner. The setting sun cast a warm glow upon the area, and the cool breeze carried the scent of fresh grass and the faint sounds of laughter from nearby students.
He made his way to the stool and settled onto it, taking in the soothing atmosphere around him. A few students still loitered around, chatting and laughing with each other, but for the moment, he was alone.
As Apollo leaned back against the stool in the secluded corner of the courtyard, the sun began to set, bathing the surroundings in a warm, golden light. He took in the peaceful atmosphere, the fresh scent of the surrounding greenery, and the sound of the gentle breeze gently rustling the leaves of nearby trees.
Relaxing into the comfort of the stool, he closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh as his thoughts drifted away. As he waited, he couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. This was his first year at Hogwarts, and the prospect of meeting new people and making friends was both thrilling and a bit daunting.
Despite the excitement of starting at Hogwarts, he couldn't help but feel a slight sense of isolation. He wondered if he would meet anyone who shared his interests or whom he could connect with in the bustling school of students. The silence of the courtyard was both calming and slightly lonely.
He opened his eyes and looked around, noticing the other students still lingering nearby. Some were sitting in small groups, engaged in animated conversations, while others walked past, heading to their next class or activity.

Square One
Holding her sketchbook tightly to her chest, Cassandra stepped out into the Courtyard with the hopes of finding a good place to simply sit and draw. The Fall air was cool on her face as she walked, the sun getting lower in the sky helped to cast a beautiful array of shadows across the courtyard that would allow for many interesting things to draw.Word Count: 310
She looked around, slightly surprised to see that there were still a few small groups hanging around although she wasn't sure why she was surprised. Afterall, there were always people passing through the courtyard. In groups of twos, threes, or simply by themselves there were all sorts of people passing by like busy little bees. Perhaps that's why she enjoyed coming out to the Courtyard, after all see had always enjoyed being in busy areas although the Great Hall at times was a little too busy for even her so the Courtyard was perfect.
Continuing on though, she began walking towards one of the corners of the courtyard. Cassandra had found that the corners were generally quiet and often empty by the time she had gotten to them which worked when she just wanted to sit outside and sketch.
Lost in her thoughts as she looked down at her sketchbook she almost didn't notice the quickly approaching stool and boy who sat on it. Luckily, she managed to catch herself before colliding with either and quickly stopped in her tracks.
"S...sorry, I didn't realize anyone was here," she said quietly to the young boy, who she figured might have been a first year like her since he seemed on the younger side. She hadn't exactly been sure why she apologized since she hadn't done anything, force of habit perhaps. She turned to find another place to sit, hoping she hadn't disturbed the dark haired boy.
