Ouch! my finger!
Elizabeth sat down at the table and pulled out her homework. too much to do... she complained to herself, before opened her Potions book, and flipping to the page they had read. going over everything again. only noticing too late, she put her bag beside her, only to crush her finger under the wait. "ow!" she said a little loudly. a few people looked up, and she tried to hide her pain as she put her other hand around her finger.
great. now people probably think i'm a wimp! she thought bitterly. she had wished she had been more careful, and stared around wildly, checking if anyone was laughing at her. a few people were smiling, and a few were looking confused, while some just rolled their eyes, and looked back at their own work.
she let go of her finger and continued her homework, acting as though nothing happened, which only made it even harder to do her work, and she found herself doodling. Concentrate, Elizabeth! she ordered herself, before lifting her quill for more ink, and then answering the next question.
when she came to a question about something she hadn't quite understood, she found herself doodling once more.

Terry walked in just in time to see someone slam their finger with a book in an ungodly manner his response was"Crap man." He obviously, didn't realize he said that aloud and swiftly took a seat opposite them"uh you alright mate? did you break it?" I mean that has got to hurt like come on! He remembered all the times he's smacked his little toe on a corner of doors all because he was, with no intention running carelessly and didn't keep his eyes on the road.
He snapped out of memory lane to see her doodling"um mate....I think I might mention that it's a bad idea to doodle on the work otherwise the good old hoggers teacher's will make you re do it an that ain't fun. I mean sure you know that an all, but I thought I'd give you a quick reminder incase you start regretting you're life decisions when you hand your death sentence in." He shrugged with a grin on his face and leant his chair back leaning in it with his hands behind his head only to lean just a tad to far and fall out his seat backwards with a nice old crash and bang as a friendly reminder from Issac Newton that Gravity still did exist and the fact that he still couldn't beat it even in a school full of magic.

Elizabeth accidentaly giggled as the boy across from her fell backwards in his chair. He at first seemed annoying, but Elizabeth seemed to forget as he took his turn in being embarassed.
Elizabeth cleared her throat, before looking over the table to see the boys face. "You okay?" She murmured, smirking. " i'm Elizabeth, by the way..." she said changing the subject. "You are?" By his outfit, Elizabeth knew now that he was Hufflepuff. Not too bad of a house, i guess... Elizabeth thought. "Must be a lot easier to make friends in Hufflepuff than it is in Slytherin, huh." She said instead. The boy nodded. "No offense, but Slytherin is right about one thing... although i have no right to taunt you about it, not that i would, anyway." Elizabeth looked up and noticed that he was still waiting to answer her question, though he said nothing.
Elizabeth shook her head. " sorry i get very talkative when in my confort zone... still working on it." She muttered, looking back at her homework. " and... i already knew about the doodling thing," she said, before pulling out a small notebook, and throwing it on the table in front of him. " that's why i brought my art book, although i keep forgetting that i have it..." she paused, then looked at the boy. " so your name is what now?

"Name? Oh as in my name? The king of Asgard." He placed a dramatic hand on his heart and looked of tragically into space then grinned from ear to ear" No I'm joking but I wish I was okay fine Um- Terry, Terry Valentine." He stood back up and placed the seat, the correct way up and sat back down.
"To be honest mate, I'm fine not the first time I mean I was ready to laugh but was unsure because i would look crazy." He shrugged"Yeah I have the same thing or I just keep rambling about useless crap nothing new." He then got a book no- wait- an art book thrown at him he shook his head tragically"why is everyone trying to kill me today?!" He then looked around fast in utter confusion"Like why?! What is this?! The hunger games?" He rose an eyebrow like almost waiting for some random person to answer his question hell he would be happy if Jesus opened up the sky and threw the answer on him as though it was a bucket of water. But no. Because that was life. One stupid game to test people to survive before they all go insane he rolled his eyes"whelp I would write that down somewhere to not forget or tattoo it on your forehead."
