Maybe I can make a friend? (open)
I step into the quiet library and take a quick glance around, there are so few people in here it's a little shocking I would have thought that since the magical world doesn't have internet or video games. I consider using dads journal to find some secret passages but realize that if I do I risk people seeing me go into one. that probably would not be good. I step through the library's thresh hold and, keeping my eyes trained on the ground I walk over to the nearest empty table and sit down, the chair has an uncomfortable quality and the table is cold. I pull my satchel off of my shoulder and put it on the table. As I reach inside I poke myself about five times on different pencils and quills. Eventually I grab a quill and pen then reach back into the satchel and grab a bottle of black ink and my sketch book.
As I start to draw I look around the room again seeing all the students with friends makes me a little sad. I probably couldn't call the boy I mat in the library the first night here a friend since he seems to think I'm a complete nutjob. I doubt it but maybe I can make a friend... I decide to start making a letter to the boy so I pull out a piece of parchment and start to write leaving my sketch book open.

I look up in suprise... I had no clue someone had sat at my table. for a second I was confused I hadn't quite heard what the girl said then realized that she had compemented her art skills
"oh um...Thanks?" I wasn't quite sure how to go about talking to this girl it had been so long and the last encounter she had with another student didn't quite work out even though I still want to be his friend...kinda.
"so...um what brings you to this underpopulated part of Hogwarts" I say in a hushed tone not wanting to disturb the students studying about us
I studied the girl, she had blonde curly hair and blue eyes...she is wearing Ravenclaw colors...I haven't talked to any Ravenclaws yet but I have watched them they tend to stick to their own small groups of smarty-pants, so why is this girl talking to me I came here hopeing to maybe read or finish this art piece or even though I don't want to admit it maybe run into the kid I met last night and say sorry for being such a clumsy doosh but oh well I'll talk to this girl she looks about the same age as me so that's a plus
"so whats your...um name?"

I think about the girls name it was a name mom had thaught for me at the quetion of if I knew what the book was saying I almost jumped out of my skin...Thats muggle cursive alot like how my dads cursive looked but the M's and T's were all wrong to be dads writeing. I laughed when I read the first sentence it read 'can you read this'
"um... this is a muggle studies book... for learning how to read and write muggle cursive"
I looked at the girl what more could it be? it certainly isn't a cypher that's for sure.
" if you wanna read it I suggest you take the muggle studies class when you have the chance" I gave the girl a small cheery smile.
I start go back to my drawing. I have the basic shape of the girl now I just have to draw the stitched mouth and then draw the eye's. I consider offering the girl a piece of parchment and a pencil so she can draw too but decide not to incase she would prefer to read, I start to wonder about her though, she doesn't look like she all to thrilled to be here and I also notice how outward she is even the way she holds herself she acts more like a Gryffindor than a Ravenclaw to me.

I perked up at the quetion of what my name is
"um..my name? my name is Alex, Alex Tyler"
I looked at the girl again taking in her posture and body language she was slightly hunched and seemed a bit nervous like she felt out of place so I stick my hand out towards her in an offer to shake it
"nice to meet you... do you um.... wanna hang out sometime?"
A small part of me grimaced the last time I attempted to make a friend it went south in fact it went so far south that it would be considered north. Lets just hope that doesn't happen again maybe this time it will go okay. This girl seems reasonable I just hope she isn't a narcissistic doosh.
Looking at her I started to wonder weather or not she would like to maybe help me get around I get so lost in this castle and I'm sure she has a class with me, history of magic maybe. Maybe Iv'e just seen her around if she comes to the library often then that's probably it seeing as I spend most of my time hauled up in here drawing or getting lost in a book.

I momenterally cursed myself for asking but when I saw how happy the girl was I didn't have it in me to try and take it back. I look back down at my drawing and suddenly realize I'm drawing my little sister, Huh interesting I should probably send them a letter soon or else they will kick my back side when I get home.
I look back up at the girl she looked like she was contemplating something as she looked at me which was a little scary, was she thinking of the best possible way to get rid of me? Nah she doesn't seem like the kind of person to directly attack some one, that doesn't mean she wouldn't get someone else to do the dirty work.
I think about the best place I could hang out with this girl, maybe the corridors that way if anyone attacks me I wont have to be afraid to attack back of anything.
"so wanna hang out in the corridors latter then" I try to put on the best cheery smile I can but I can tell its strained, I'm so not used to people trying to talk to me or make friends.

I looked up at the inquirery of weather or not lunch was a good time, in actual fact it was perfect. It would occupy me long enough to keep sane until after diner, it would also be nice to talk to someone rather than aimlessly wander the halls with a book, It'll be good to talk to someone ( something I don't do all to often ) and maybe even discuss something of interest, yes that would be nice
"sure lunch sounds good"
I grin wildly maybe it is possible to make friends at this school, maybe I'm not utterly alone.
" so um what do you wanna do when we meet up?"
I hope she suggests something good I don't want to play wizards chess that's for sure, maybe she will choose something fun like hangin out or even singing, I miss singing.
Me and dad would sing Imagine Dragons songs together, mom always said I got his amazing singing voice. Come to think of it my best friend at muggle school told me that too, not that I have dads voice but that I'm an amazing singer, man would it be nice to sing again even just for a while.

I almost jump out of my skin when the girl says for me to choose an activity, thats something I haven't done in a long time. Between haveing two younger siblings and overly controlling 'friends' I've never really had the chance to pick what to do in free time
" Do you know what muggle karaoke is?"
I hope she does and if she doesn't then I will teach her, maybe she will even find a muggle song that she likes and we can have karaoke competions with each other
"what kind of music do you like?"
I think if she doesn't know who they are I will introduce her to the band Imagine Dragons they're a really good band and I feel like she would really enjoy their music."
"I know of a classroom we could go to instead of the corridors, no one has used it since the late 1970's"
well that's a small lie my dad would have meetings with his Huffelpuff buddies in that classroom, it feels almost weird to think of using it myself for meetings, I just hope I can make friends ferther than this girl. I will at least make one other friend today if everything goes as planed tonight, hopefully.

" I don't know an artist named AJR, sorry but I do like the band Imagine Dragons and the artists Halzy and Billie Eilesh" I say I hope she knows at least one of the people I named
" do you know any of them?"
I remember the nights when dad and I would sing together, he got me into Imagine Dragons, now today I dedicated the song Birds to him. I remember when we would sing with my little sister and brother me and dad would be the only ones in tune and on time with the tempo. For some reason I've always had a talent for singing, when I sing I can feel the music course through me like it became one with me and then I would become one with it.
At the girls inquirey of the classroom being deserted I almost wanted to just wave her off but I should give her an answer
" quite a few years ago a band of Slytherins made a club in that room that no one knew about, they had plans to kill every Muggle-born wizard and witch they got their hands on. when they graduated the school found out all the murders were the Slytherin group of kids, as a tribute to the kids they left the classroom deserted in hopes it would be able to give a physical visual on the gaps they left emotionally"
When I was done speaking I was filled with remorse.
"now its the meeting place for kids to have fun so that the kids may witness joy and let their souls be filled with joy aswell, my dad used it as a meeting place for a club he started, The Muggle-born Support Society or TMSS for short"
