Henry couldn't take it anymore as he walked from the great hall to the grounds, his mind felt like it was going to explode as the twelve year old almost raced down through the grounds and past other students who were enjoying their days, as he finally was at the great lake near a tree that he wasn't paying attention if anyone was there. Henry took the letter out from his pocket having left his messager type bag in his dormitory, Henry read it over with every line his heart pounded and his head throbbed now more then ever be wanted to run. He wanted to run and never turn back, he just wanted out, wanted out of his life and everything else that was going wrong for him.
The letter was from his father, you see the boy wrote to his brother telling him that he got detention but for something that he didn't do and his brother wrote back telling him that he understood and didn't mind but his father must have got that letter as he to wrote Henry which made the boy angry, beyond angry he couldn't take this feeling anymore as again he read the letter.
Henry crumpled the letter up before throwing it into the lake, what did his father know. Did he even listen to Henry, could he listen as far as Henry thought he couldn't or wouldn't not that the boy cared because he just wanted to run, to run and never come back.Dear Henry,
I found the letter that you wrote to your brother, first off I want to say that I'm disappointed in you that you got detention and suspected better of you and second off I am more disappointed that you didn't decided to tell me this instead I had to learn I from a owl addressed to your brother. I also recieved a owl from your school mentioning that you been skipping classes and earn multiplied detentions, I suspect better from you Henry and if I find out by the end of your term that none of this is fixed then you will receive extra lessons over the summer plus other consequences.

Hello there
Nearby a boy with messy ginger hair rested his head on a tree, silently pretending that he was alone, although, he knew he wasn't, after all, pieces of papper do not simply jump in the water on their own, he would take a deep breath as he held his hands togheter, it was unclear whether he was waiting for the stranger to go, or if did not even care.
He would try to move away, slowly standing up from his original position, as soon as he tried to walk way without being noticed, a branch that was laying on the ground splitted in half as soon as Aldor stood on it, this was surely a joke, how could he have such a horrible luck? In silence, he kept trying to walk, wishing to stay unnoticed, but again, as if the universe was trying to destroy him, it happened again, and again, and if it wasn't enough, again.
He felt his legs go numb out of sheer terror, what could he do? Should he run? Should he try to talk to the stranger? After all, there isn't really anywhere else to run to, and if he ran back to the courtyard, he would only get even more attention, and the last thing Aldor wanted to happen, is finding another student, at this point, he is quite known through Hufflepuff and Griffyndor, and sadly, it is not for good reasons, most people describe him as: 'The Bookworm' that is always at the lake, dreaming to be a true wizard, although he is a Muggle-Born child.

Hello there
Henry gritted his teeth, his head still filled with angry and thoughts as he stood there on the edge of the lake. He watched the letter float away and start to sink, his heart with it as his head was pounding and his blood boiled, no one really understood him especially his father because if he did then he would have wrote something else or not that all. Henry gritted his teeth as the twelve year old had enough, he couldn't take it anymore and usually he wasn't one to show his emotions but that day had been especially hard for him which explains why he dropped to the ground on his knees as he felt hot tears run down his face, for the first time in the young boy's life he felt worthless, defenseless, like he didn't have a voice, if he disappeared would others care?
Henry was having a mental break down, something that he wouldn't dream of having since his whole life he hid his emotions but here he was on his knees at the black lake with tears running down his cheeks. His mind was filled with awful and dangerous thoughts, as he was ready to run, to escape and never turn back. Snap a snape of a branch from behind him that made Henry wonder did someone see him, did they know he was crying or having a break down. Snap.... Snap... Snap.. Now he knew someone was there as Henry wiped his tears away before he got up with a blank face and hid his emotions like usual with only a small and friendly smile upon his face.
Henry took a few steps to find a short ginger haired kid who seemed to be a year younger than Henry. He looked at the kid and hoped that he hadn't disturbed or frighten him as he spoke in a friendly voice " Hello, I heard the branches snapping and thought. Are you okay there, mate?" Mate, a word that he always used and never thought twice about funny how those things can happen as Henry continued " I'm Henry, I wasn't disturbing you, was I? Because I could leave if you like?"

Hello there
Aldor would take a deep breath, as he played with his hair, slowly turning around, this was probably the worst thing that has happened today. The boy would clear his throat, trying to keep his calm.
''Greetings I uh- Thought I was the one disturbing you so I am err- I can leave if you want to be on your own,''
The kid was clearly nervous, although, he seemed kind. He kept playing with his hair as he thought of an answer, ''I mean, you do not have to leave but if you want to be on your own I can surely leave so you can enjoy your privacy.''
This is not going anywhere, the only thing that Aldor has done at this point, is stuttering and feeling terrible about himself because of being unable to give the stranger a propper answer. And so, he broke the silence introducing himself.
''I-I am Aldor Humbleglow, and- You are?-'' You are? He just told him his name was Henry, how could you miss that? He clearly is too nervous to even keep track of what they are talking about.
The Hufflepuff student seems to be doing his best to make this better, but so far, he only feels worse, maybe he should try to walk away without saying anything, or maybe he could keep talking with him, he did not know what to do, but something inside Aldor told him to keep doing his best to conversate with him.

Hello there
Henry heard the boy talk and actually he thought he saw a little bit of himself in this boy, especially during his own first year so Henry said calmly with his smiled " don't worry you weren't, but you were here first so I can leave if you want," Henry then heard the boy speak again but this time he noticed that he was playing with his hair, a trick that Henry use to do whenever he was anxious or nervous so Henry replied again " if you like I can leave it doesn't matter to me, really."
Henry heard him stutter out his name so Henry spoke " hello Aldor, I'm Henry," Henry then took a breath before saying " and don't worry about being nervous or embarrassed around me because I know how you feel, I was way much worse than you during my first year. Shuttering and playing with my hair as well but don't worry it will get better," Henry assumed he was a first year since he was so nervous so Henry spoke again " do you come here offended? It very is beautiful here isn't it?" Henry then took a step closer to Aldor before continuing " so how has Hogwarts been for you? You are a first year right?"
@Aldor Humbleglow sorry for the wait

Hello there
Aldor was about to break apart out of pure fear, yet, he was a little confused, the way Henry talked about this type of sensation was so understanding, even calming, this words made Aldor feel a little more confident to keep the conversation going.
And so, he began answering Henry's question on what his thoughts on Hogwarts were, he usually does not talk about this topic, but he does not mind that much, after all, this boy seems to understand what he is going through.
''Hogwarts has been alright- classes are not as bad as I first thought, and the bullying is also not as bad as I thought, I felt like I was going to get my nose broken as soon as I stepped into Hogwarts- After all they- do not seem to have a very great opinion on- Muggle-Born wizards-''
Aldor would keep playing with his hair unconciously, trying to calm his nerves, this is a weird thing to talk about, usually when he brings up the topic of being a Muggle-Born, he gets verbally attacked by the students in Hogwarts.
Well- At least I have not gotten- beated up by older students yet- hopefully it never happens either-''

Hello there
Henry heard the boy talk and now felt a bit bad for him but also wanted to help him so he spoke " well if you ever need help in your classes you can always find me and I will always help you, I'm sort of a geek and kind of advanced in all my classes plus I always love to help a friend," Henry then smiled at the boy as he spoke again " I'm sorry to hear about the bullying Aldor, no one should be treated differently just because of their status of their blood," Henry then moved a bit closer to Aldor before speaking again " I'm a second year slytherin that happens to be pureblood but I'm not like other Slytherin's or pureblood's for that matter. I never cared about blood status and in fact others like to call me slytherin traitor in my house for how many hufflepuff and Ravenclaw friends I have."
Henry then continued to smile as he spoke again " I actually have lots of muggle born friends to and their all amazing," Henry's eyes then almost sparkled with mischief as he spoke again " you seem amazing Aldor, how about then? Would you like to be friends?" Henry couldn't explain it but he wanted to help this boy, he felt something from Aldor like a connection or similarity or something that the twelve year old couldn't explain.

Hello there
Henry's words would make Aldor feel a little more confident, until, Henry asked to be friends with him, he felt like his whole body stopped working for a few seconds, he simply froze in place, with a surprised look on his face, Henry was very different from any other student he stumbled upon, he was. . . so kind and gentle, this made Aldor feel safer. Although, he is quite confused as well, he had a few bad experiences with Pure-Blood wizards before, but Henry said he has many friends who are not Pure-Blooded, maybe, just maybe, this could be a good experience for Aldor.
And so, he couldn't do more but smilling, and accepting this offer.
''That- would be wonderful, I- think it would be nice to have someone to talk to- of course I will try not to get in your way often, I do not want you to feel bothered because of me being by you all the time-''
Aldor would give him a gentle smile, he was clearly still nervous, a little less than before, but still, he felt like he was freezing, everything was confusing at this point, why would this second year slytherin be so kind to everyone? Is he hiding something?

Hello there
Henry heard him speak and smiled at him, he recognized that he was still a bit nervous but Henry still wanted to help the kid, with nerves and all he was in his place last year maybe even worse so in some part of Henry he wanted to help the kid and almost take him under in his wing in a sense so he spoke " that's brilliant and if you ever need a friend or someone to help you, never worry about bothering me or what not because I will always be here to help you Aldor," Henry then looked around and as he pushed his thoughts from his head,
Henry spoke again " we could stay here together and get to know each other a bit more if you like?"
Henry suggested as he smiled, this was how he normally was helpful and kind, he rarely was anything else but certain people could change that as he was also really loyal to his friends. Henry picked up a rock and spoke to Aldor " have you ever skipped a rock before?" Henry did skipped the rock and watch it jump against the waves before landing and slinking to the bottom in which Henry turn to the boy and spoke " so what do you like to do? Do you have any hobbies, Aldor?"

Hello there
The boy would watch the rock that Henry threw sink into the lake, instantly his eyes darted back to Henry, and as soon as Aldor got the confidence to speak, Henry asked if he had any hobbies, Aldor has many, too many even. And so, Aldor thought of his answer in silence, until he chose a few of the several hobbies he had.
''I like baking every once in a while it is- really nothing special but uh- it's something I guess- I was also going to say reading was a hobby but- considering how much I do it I believe it is more like a routine of sorts-''
He kept playing with his hair, he seems calm, at least compared to the moment when they started talking, yet, Aldor is still struggling to say something about himself. This is not new for him, but he wishes he could get over it, he thinks it is horrible to leave an awkward silence every time he finishes a frase, but he can not really help it.
''I kind of- spend my time just doing that actually- reading, baking- but uh, I do listen to music every so often- any type really but, I do listen to metal or- alternative rock- I am not the type of person who likes- calm music over the loud and violent style-''
Aldor stayed silent again, trying to stay cool, although, this is not how he thought an interaction with a second year would be.
