Lauren rushed down the corridor, the hem of her robes swishing around her ankles as she hurried.

I’m going to be late for Charms. I’m actually going to be late for Charms!

Her heart pounded.

Shoot! I was so caught up in reading Hogwarts: A History that I lost track of time!

She had only meant to glance at one page. Just one. But somehow she’d ended up halfway through a chapter about medieval wand legislation.

She turned the corner too fast—

—and collided straight into someone.

Her books went flying, hitting the stone floor with a heavy thud. Loose parchment slid away from her in every direction.

"Oh no! I am so sorry! Are you okay?" Lauren said quickly, already crouching to gather her things.

Her hands shook as she stacked her books back together.

She looked up for a split second—

Since when did boys look so cute?

Her eyes widened.

Pull yourself together, Lauren! This is not the time!

The bell echoed faintly through the corridor.

Her stomach dropped.

That’s it. I’m late for Charms. The professor is definitely going to notice.

She shoved a stray piece of parchment back into Hogwarts: A History and stood quickly, clutching everything tightly to her chest.

"I really am sorry. I wasn’t watching where I was going."

She shifted awkwardly, unsure what else to say, and very aware of how warm her face felt.

Why did this have to happen right now? Of all times?

She glanced down the corridor toward the direction of the Charms classroom, then back at him.

"I’m late for Charms class, so I should probably— um— go."

Her words stumbled over each other.

Stop rambling. Just leave before you embarrass yourself more.

She tightened her grip on her books.

"Sorry again."

For a brief second, she hesitated — caught between running off and standing there awkwardly.

Her heart was racing, her thoughts a mess.

Why is this so embarrassing? It was just a bump in the hallway. People bump into each other all the time. Totally normal. Completely normal.

And yet, she couldn’t seem to make her feet move.

Lauren could tell her face was bright red as when she tried to move aside to stop blocking the guy, sje kept on blocking him, preventing him form walking away. She felt a little nervous as the guy sounded really annoyed. She watched as the guy's bag tore. She watched as books, parchment, ink, quills and his wand fell out of the bag.She immediately rushed to try to help him fix his bag, but he quickly fixed it using reparo.

Lauren really did not mean to bump into the 'nameless' guy. I mean... I did bump into him pretty hard... and I would be angry too if that was me... Ugh! But he seemed so... angry! How did this even happen? One minute I was late for class then the next, I bumped into a very cute guy... Ugh! Pull yourself toghether Lauren! Since when did you get so interested in guys? And when did you start coming to class late? Last year, I would never be late. Not at Hogwarts, not anywhere. Now I’m clumsy, running late, and somehow bumping into cute guys… what is happening to me? Am I hoing crazy? Lauren could feel her face burning. Great. Now my face is red, and I mafe this boy as late for class as me! Yea he is going to hate me so much now... She glanced at the books and parchment that were now in his bag. "Um... I should... go?" Lauren said somewhat awkwardly.

Nick noticed the this as he had in his head mad and annoying girl’s head started to go very red he also noticed that she was trying to help him but was getting in his way even more.
Can you stop trying to help I’m late enough as it is and your making me later and your not helping your making worse for me I had a entirely clean slate until now
Who does this madmen think she is she’s annoying so annoying she doesn’t look were she’s going she’s just so full of her self she needs her ego deflating and why was trying and failing to help him unless no that’s not possible no one likes me although nope nope thanks impossible but she was blushing when talking to me no thanks a coincidence that idea is impossible if she like me as in like-like me that would be horrific
he shivered at the thought of it
That would be horrific terrifying
Yes you should go
Nick felt a bit bad about getting snappy with her but she was being so annoying. He quickly walked down the corridor away to Defence Against the Dark Arts so he wasn’t as late as he might of been

Sry for jumping in... @Nick Jameson@Luare n Wong

I was trying to get to D.A.D.A like trying to be on time. I saw Nick and another Ravenclaw. On the floor, books everywhere. Somehow I always walk into a ligit crime scene. What is wrong with my timing. Then I became curious. The girl was blushing and Nick? Nick was being Nick. I quickly walked over "Nick what going on?" I hissed in his ear. The girl was turing bright red. Nick was getting snappy. I looked at Nick and blinked as in ANSWER ME YOU IDIOT. I felt bad for the girl. I was sure I've seen her in the common room too. Yes you should go Nick said, picking up his books. I rolled my eyes. Nick being Nick. I also rolled my eyes at Nick's impoliness. Nick walked away quickly. I went over to the girl. "Sorry about HIM. He's just being Nick. What's your name? I said kindly. I helped her pick up her books. Then I helped the girl to her feet. Then glared in Nick's direction. "He's dead when I get to him." I said with a frown. Then I looked at her face. Still all red and flushed. "Oh you have a crush on him don't you?" I amused. "In that case I don't like him like that. We're just friends."

"A wise girl knows her limits; A smart girl knows she has none."
