An early visit Open

Dale had finally found some peace. Summer had so far been Maggie and Carson dragging him all around the damn place but he had found some peace and quiet, he pulled out one of the books from the book back he brought him he.

But before he started to read he took in his surrounding. He grew up in a resort town, so he was no stranger to pretty sights but the grounds seemed unreal. All the grass was somehow perfectly cut the trees were tall and proud, the water was as clear as glass.

It was truly the best place to read a nice long book, as he opened the book. He read for a few hours before finishing the book once more. But he still wanted to read, he put the book back into the backpack and stretched his arms and legs. He sat back down and once again pulled out a book, but this one wasn't a book, it was a textbook, a chemistry textbook. He loved chemistry more than anything, he refreshed his brain on the more advanced concepts and staring delving into possible experiments he could do at Hogwarts before a girl came up to him and said hello.

"Oh, hello there, do you need anything?" he took a second to look at the girl, she seemed to be an early arrival, perhaps she was lost "Umm, are you lost do you need directions to somewhere?"

Dale look at the first year girl, she seemed to be really worked up over what he said, that was not the reaction he was wanting. He was trying and seemingly failing at acting cool in front of his underclassmen.

"Ohh, umm sorry about that. I'm Dale, Dale Kurt" The girl seemed to be having the same issue he had, not being able to find friends. He smiled at the girl and said "Umm, I'm reading umm uhh... a chemistry textbook." He had forgotten he was reading that, he hoped it didn't come off as weird to Jessica.

But reading that textbook was very calming, he had no idea why, but it just was. It reminded him of home and spending time with his dad in the lab. He wished he was home instead of at summer camp, but it still had its upsides. He has met a lot of people so far, mainly thanks to Maggie's plans, but still, it was fun.

He wanted to take this time to just read books and take naps, but Jessica seemed like a calm person. He faced the girl and said "Well would you like to join me here, the breeze is quite nice and its a nice place to talk."

Jessica sat next to Dale. It truly was a beautiful day, with the sun shining and the wind blowing right through his messy hair causing it to even messier, he constantly ran a hand through it in an attempt to neaten it. The wind made it so it wasn't too hot, perfect weather for relaxation and reading. He looked at the girl sat next to him, she had long brown hair, and just enough freckles to be noticeable.

She seemed quite nervous to be at Hogwarts, Dale understood that he was also very nervous about going to a wizarding school, but being there for a whole year had gotten Dale more used to magic and he wasn't scared of the idea anymore.

"I j-just enjoy chemistry a lot, my dad is a chemical engineer so h-e made sure I knew my chemistry. And d-don't worry they don't teach it h-here." he assured the girl with a kind smile. His stutter was just as bad as it always was. "The closest t-thing we have h-here is potions. " Potions was something Dale enjoyed very much, it resembled chemistry very loosely. But still a loose resembles is still a resemblance. "So why did you come to Hogwarts early? "

Dale agreed with the girl, he seemed to distance himself away from his school mates after he got his letter, no one really noticed or cared truly. But it was weird to go to regular school knowing he was a wizard. Even if he wanted to tell anyone he really had no one to tell. But he never minded not having friends all through his elementary years, he spent the majority of his time learning about chemistry with his dad or astronomy with his mother. But Dale was a bit jealous of all the friend groups in the library and he wanted to try to make friends but found little success, he hoped next year would be different in that regard

He let out a chuckle at what she said about her brother. Dale was a single child and sometimes wished he had a sibling, he wondered if they would also have magical talents. Dale also wished he came early, he could have learned much more if he came during the summer last year.

"Y-yeah, I'm a muggle-born." Jessica seemed like a pureblood, but he had a tendency to think everyone was a pureblood. "My father thought me chemistry when I was young, ever since then I've loved it." he told Jessica. "What about you, are you a pureblood?"
