The study of stars pv Jessie Finished

Talking to @Jessie Coyle

It was rather a strange feeling for Henry to be comforted around someone he just met and especially someone from his own house. Henry never been at popular in slytherin and during his first year chose to avoid his own house as much as possible but yet here he was in his second year and feeling comfortable around a fellow slytherin one that he wished to be friends with also.

" If you like the lake then I know this spot around the edge where this tree sits and a few of it's branches hang out over it. I can show you sometime if you like," Henry spoke as he smiled toward Jessie and felt like they were similar but yet didn't know what made then similar until she spoke.

Turns out she also was a twin and had a twin brother that went there although she didn't have a older brother not that Henry cared since he always loved meeting people who were twins and understating even just a little bit of what he went through as he spoke " you have a twin to! Wicked, are you guy's in the same house? Doesn't matter really and sure I'll like to meet him. I'll even like to be friends with you if you don't mind and no I don't mind your rambling mate," Henry smiled toward her before saying " what his name? Are you guys close and all? My twins name is Annabeth or Anna for short."

Henry looked out toward the sky touching the water's edge again before looking back at Jessie and saying " do you have any hobbies Jessie? And would you mind if I called you Jess?"

Jessie listened to what Henry was saying about the lake "I would love to see the lake, that would be nice" she said with a smile. Jessie felt relaxed because she had finally met someone she could talk to besides her brother. Although she loved her brother very much and they were best friends, she was glad she met Henry that day. She was also glad that he didn't seemed annoyed by her like many others did.

"That's great! My brother will be very happy to meet you im sure of it! His name is Roman and he is a Hufflepuff. When we first got sorted into our houses, Roman and I were disappointed we weren't in the same house because we have been together all our lives. But now I think we have gotten used to it, at least I have. And Annabeth is a pretty name" Jessie added at the end with a smile. Jessie and Roman spent most of their time together because they were homeschooled back home. They never thought there would be a time when they would have to be separated and not by choice, but now Jessie saw it as an opportunity to open up a little more and meet new people.

Jessie thought about Henry's next question. "Well I liked to surf and skateboard back home but I can't really do much of that anymore. Those were the things I did most and loved to do the most." Jessie's smile faded as she said this. "And yes, you can call me Jess if you'd like...What about you? What are your hobbies?" Jessie felt a bit of sadness as she recalled how she and her brother would spend the day on the beach, then by sundown they would skate to the ice cream and record shop for a treat. She tried not to think about it that much because she knew how it would make her feel. But she also knew that that was in the past and that she would be able to do those things once again soon.

Talking with @Jessie Coyle

Henry smiled with a nod when he heard her response about the lake before he spoke " alright then what if we meet after class sometime this week by the great hall?" Running a hand through his hair after as he looked into her two different color eyes as he listened to her speak about her brother.

From the way she talked, Henry figured out that the two must be like most twins and were really close considering each other their best friend. That was something Henry really couldn't connect with her on because his twin and him never been that close or best friends or anything even before Hogwarts but he just ignored those thoughts as he replied " you and your brother sound close,
it must be hard to be a part and all now but it's still nice how you guys are close and all."

Henry was closer with his older brother so being separated from a sibling your close with was something the boy could understand as he listened to her talk about hobbies and approved him calling her Jess. Henry would smile toward her before speaking " surfing is cool, I always wanted to learn and stake boarding is cool also," thinking for a second before speaking " I like to read I guess and I love animals. I'm sort of a nerd you can say because I like learning and all," he said while giving a goofy type smile.

"I would like that very much" Jessie replied to Henry's comment about the lake. "What about tomorrow? I can bring Roman too so you will have a chance to meet him then." She asked as she locked eyes with Henry for a moment before looking away. There was something about Henry that Jessie found quite comforting, but she couldn't seem to figure out what. It had been so hard for Jessie to talk to others her age in the past, but with Henry, it just seemed easier.

Jessie looked at Henry as he talked about her and her brother. "Yes...we are. It is a little hard because I miss being with him all the time but it's for the best...I think" She said with a little laugh at the end. She hoped that being away from Roman would result in good and not end poorly, but she didn't know yet.

As the boy spoke Jessie gave a big smile when she heard what he had said. "Well if there ever is a chance in some way, I would be happy to teach you" She said laughing quietly. "Unfortunately, I have never been much of a reader, but I do love animals as well. They have a sort of innocence that us people lose so easily." She continued. Jessie looked at the sky and smiled before turning her head back to Henry.

"Tomorrow after classes sounds good and I'll love to meet your brother tomorrow to. So meet in front of the great hall then?" Henry spoke as he looked at Jessie and still found being around her comfortable and nice not wanting to leave anytime soon.

Hearing her speak about being separate from her twin caused Henry to smile a little before speaking " sometimes being apart is good if you ever need someone to talk to about it in slytherin then I'll be on the couch," smiling a bit at Jessie before listening and nodding to her.

"I would like that if you teach me, maybe someday then and if you like you could borrow some of the books I have on magic creatures?" Henry spoke as he looked around the quiet classroom before speaking " What other classes do you like besides from uh astronomy?" Henry looked around the empty classroom before back at Jessie as a thought popped into his mind something that he didn't want ask but also wanted to ask as he looked toward Jessie still with the feeling of familiarity as he waited for her to answer but his own question floated around his mind almost engaging him to ask.

"Yes, in front of the Great Hall" Jessie replied to Henry. She smiled as she thought about how kind the boy was and how quickly they had become friends.

Jessie thought for a moment about what the boy said before speaking. "I guess you're right" She said laughing "Good to know". She gave a goofy smile back at Henry in hopes that he would laugh.

Jessie admired how Henry was open to her teaching him to surf. Oddly enough, she had never come across a person who took interest in wanting to learn because she had lived in a small town in the past. Jessie smiled at the boy before saying "I would love to take a look at your books! A book on Magic Creatures sounds pretty interesting to me...and that's saying a lot for someone who doesn't read much."

Jessie thought about Henry's next question. "I think the class that I enjoy the most would have to be flying. I just find it very fun and I am pretty good at it if I do say so myself." She was about to ask what his favourite class was until she saw Henry's eyes look around the room. Her eyebrows scrunched for a moment up as she thought about what he could be thinking about. Jessie began to grow curious about what was going on in the boys mind. Did he want to leave? Was he meeting someone else here? Was there somewhere he had to be? These questions floated round her mind and yet, she stayed quiet and looked at the ground once again.

Henry smiled a bit and slightly nodded as he agreed " tomorrow after classes then in front of the great hall," repeating things back usually helped his anxiety. However the boy couldn't help but feel happy that the two easily became friends or how comfortable he was around her.

Laughing a bit at her smile before finding enough control to reply " there's not many twins at Hogwarts so we have to stick together right Jess," before giving her a playful wink and returning the goofy smile.

" Or maybe if you want, I can show you a few? There's certain places on the grounds where you spot a creature or two," Henry spoke and the thought got Henry so excited especially since he loved creatures and animals that looking around for them especially with a friend sounded like a blast to Henry.

"Flying is cool maybe we could go flying toegyjer sometime? We could race each other not to mention flying over the great lake is just amazing," Henry spoke before quickly adding " my favorite classes are charms, potions, astronomy, and next year it will be care of magical creatures to. I should have warn you I'm a dork," before giving another goofy smile.

Then before he could stop himself and before he had time to think, Henry would then rather blunt out " are we friends? Uh- I mean were friends right? Or... uh-"

Jessie smiled while Henry spoke. After a moment she realized how many times she had smiled at the boy since they met. Henry was just such a nice boy and Jessie couldn't contain herself. She looked back up at Henry a caught a glimpse of his bright eyes sparkling in the sun before she laughed at his comment about twins. "Yes that is very true" She said still giggling a little.

Jessie's eyes widened with a smile as she listened to Henry. "Oh that sounds like a lot of fun!" She replied to him. "I have never actually met a Magic Creature before but they sound so fascinating" Jessie was silent for a moment before she spoke again "Thank you by the way...for being so kind. Being new in the world of magic is hard enough but it's harder when you don't have anyone to talk to all the time."

"Yeah we could race each other sometime...but be prepared to lose" She said laughing "I am a natural after all" She added with a goofy wink. "Well if you are a dork, then being a dork is a pretty cool thing" She replied to the boy. Jessie never really cared if a person had different interests than her, she never cared if someone found an activity fun that she didn't, she was just happy that she had found a friend.

"Well yeah...we are friends...absolutely!" Jessie said gaining confidence at the end. She smiled at Henry, happy that she had made a confirmed friendship. A moment after saying that, her knee had started to feel a burn because of the fall she took on the way up. She grasped her knee subtly not wanting to make a big deal out of it. She had fallen of her skateboard many times before, but for some reason the wound hurt more than usual this time.

@Jessie Coyle sorry for the wait

Henry smiled at the girl before pushing some stands of hair back and replying "maybe over the summer I can show some or we could have a magical creature study session here?" Both options sounded amazing to Henry as he thought of spending more time with the girl but then hearing her remark, he smiled and gave a small nod before speaking " no problem Jess and I mean it, whenever you need to talk I'll always be there for you."

As their conversation changed, Henry laughed a bit before saying " a natural runner or winner?" He then smiled a bit and nodded in agreement when she made her comment about being a dork which for some reason the boy felt a blanket if warmth surround him when she did which made him smile some more.

"Good because I love being friends with you then Jess," Henry spoke before looking back out and imagining the times that the two will share together before looking back at Jessie and speaking " so meet you tomorrow in front of the great hall after classes? I can't wait to meet your brother," he then remembered dinner and figured he should ask " dinner is approaching, uh would you like to walk together Jess and perhaps eat together?"

"I would love to do both of those things!" Jessie replied enthusiastically. Jessie listened to Henry with a smile on her face. She felt a sort of happiness while she heard what the boy had said. "Thank you Henry, it means a lot. And you can always talk to me whenever you want to as well, I never do anything special anymore anyways so..."

Jessie laughed at Henry's comment and replied "hmm, both!" She looked at Henry's eyes, as blue as the sea. At that moment she figured out why the boys eyes were so captivating to her. It was because they reminded her of the ocean at the beach back home. Jessie gave a warm smile to Henry before continuing.

"I love being friends with you too" she replied. Jessie looked outside for a moment as many thoughts filled her head. She was caught in her own world until Henry spoke again. "I am sure my brother would love to meet you. I have a feeling the two of you will get along just fine." Hearing the boys next question, Jessie's face lit up with happiness. "I would love to!" She said. After a moment, she turned around and headed towards the exit of the tower.
