Anxiety is a horrible thing...
Alice was wandering around, she was still no quite use to this big school... she could barely make on time for most of her classes. right now, she kinda felt like a mess. She sighed, sitting down on the grass, hugging her knees to her chest and resting her chin on her knees, brushing a strand of black hair that made it's way into her vision, out of her face so she could see... not that she really needed to see anything, but hair in your face is incredibly annoying.
after a while of staring out at, well nothing, she pulled out her sketch book and a pencil, and started drawing. At least drawing kept her some sort of company, her own imagination was pretty much all she needs! Though, she still feels so lonely... she sighed, shaking of such loner thoughts, and just put her imagination to work as drew on the paper. Her attention was pretty much on the paper, and she barely noticed any of the people who would walk pass every now and then. She just had horrible anxiety, talking to people was just incredibly hard since she mostly kept to herself when she was young..

Anxiety is a horrible thing...
Alina hummed happily to herself, skipping along the path that circled the grounds. She waved and smiled at people she knew as she passed them, not stopping for long. It was a beautiful day, and classes had finished early for the day. She was feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of course work, and figured some fresh air, sun and an energizing walk would cheer her spirits.
She slowed to a stop when she spotted a small, short-haired girl tucked away from the path. She had a sketchbook in her lap, her dark hair slipping into her face, but she kept brushing it off. Alina couldn't help but notice how alone the poor girl looked. 'Well, can't have that, can we!' She thought, before she skipped over.
Alina leaned over behind the girl, "Wow! What a beautiful piece. What is it going to be?" She exclaimed, leaning further over to look at the sketch paper, dark pencil marks and smudges started to take shape on the page, the beginning of something beautiful just a few more lines away. Alina smiled happily, tucking her blonde hair behind her ear. "I'm Alina, I think I've seen you around the Gryffindor dorm, right?"

Anxiety is a horrible thing...
Alice squeaked in surprise to hear someone from behind her. At first she thought she was under attack, which would be horrible since she would have no idea how to deal with a situation, but it sounded like there was a person behind her commenting on her art piece.
she didn't exactly know how to deal with that situation either...
Alice looked up at the student behind her, and after a second of hesitation, Alice answered the question that was asked, "It's just a character I made for a thing i'm sorta working on." Her voice was soft and quiet, but not too quiet that she couldn't be heard. "And I guess you would've seen me around the dorm..." She shrugged, she was usually too focused in her own little world to notice fellow students at times, "oh... and my name Alice."
Alice mentally facepalmed, she almost forgot to introduce her own self! How careless of her, socializing with people at first can just be a mess at times...

Startled blue eyes looked up at Alina, and she giggled. "Oh no, did I scare you? I'm so sorry! If I'm not scaring someone, I'm usually knocking them to the ground. I can be really oblivious sometimes, I'm not disturbing you, am I?" She blushed before sitting down beside the girl and leaning over to look at the art piece again. "You're so good at this," she complimented. "I honestly can't even draw a stick figure. You're lucky to be able to create with your own two hands." Alina's gaze wandered to the groups of students passing by them, and closed her eyes to feel the warmth of the sun on her skin.
"Alice, kind of like Alice in Wonderland, right? The muggle story? My mama used to tell me that one when I was growing up. My favorite character was the rabbit, I guess he reminds me of myself. Always late." She laughed softly. "My name is Alina, by the way." She mused, watching the girl work on her art.

"Oh, I'm... I'm just normally jumpy around people..." Alice looked back at her sketch book, smiling a bit, she liked it when people complimented her art, it made her feel... not so un noticed...
Alice smiled a little, she heard a lot of people say that many times, that they can't draw, Alice never really believed that though. She believed, that if you put your mind to it and give enough effort into it you could achieve great things. She probably believed that thanks to Walt Disney, he was always about dreams coming true when you work hard enough for it.
"Oh... yes, like Alice in wonderland. Personally, my favourite character is the mad hatter... probably because in a way he could be similar to myself..." Alice said, adding a few more lines to her picture as she spoke. "Of course... when I'm not being so anti social I guess..." she added, a bit more quieter.
as she finished those words she had already finished her drawing, 'she was just as quick with the pen as she was good' her mother would usually say. Alice held up her sketch book, to look at her piece from a distance. She smiled in satisfaction, it's always good when your drawings come out how you imagine them.
"It's nice to meet you Alina." Alice said looking at Alina.

"Oh, I'm... I'm just normally jumpy around people..." Instantly Alina felt guilt rush through her. She didn't mean to scare her, but that's what she gets for sneaking up on people! "Sorry," she murmured, before listening more to what she had to say. "Oh... yes, like Alice in wonderland. Personally, my favorite character is the mad hatter... probably because in a way he could be similar to myself..." Alina laughed, settled in beside the girl.
"He's a fun character, if you see yourself in him, that must mean you're an interesting person too. He was quite lively if I remember, and spoke in riddles and puzzles," She leaned over to the girl, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Are you going to end up doing that too?" She laughed. "let me know, because if you haven't realized I'm blonde and sometimes it takes me a while to get j-"
She halted her words mid-sentences, realizing that the girl had already finished the drawing of the blue-haired girl and Alina couldn't find words. "are-...you're done? Already?" She squeaked, taking a closer look at the drawing. "I take back what I said, you're AMAZING. Look at this!" She exclaimed, extracting the drawing from Alice's hands. "This is beautiful! Do you draw often? Can I have this? How much do I pay you?" Her questions came out rapid fire as she traced her hands over the drawing. "Honestly, you might have to teach me how to do this, you're so good." Alina sighed, wishing that she had a special talent like this. Swimming wasn't as amazing as drawing, and well, gardening didn't even make any headlines either.

Alice blinked in surprise when Alina had plucked her sketch from her hands in amazement, at first Alice sat there with a blank expression, trying to process what just happened. She looked at Alina, who was asking a seemingly endless stream of questions at first. Not unusual, Alice was used to people commenting and being amazed with her art.
"I guess you could say I've been drawing my whole life in a way." Alice said, stabbing the dirt with a pencil, which was probably slightly stupid to do.
I could try and help you with drawing..." Alice said, with slight uncertainty, her old friends she had before coming to Hogwarts had also often asked about how Alice should teach them to draw, but then Alice figured she wasn't that great at it, though it never hurt to try. "Also I can't give you this exact piece of art... though I can draw you a picture more based off what character or object you describe." She explained, now twirling a pencil in her hand.

"I could try and help you with drawing...Also I can't give you this exact piece of art... though I can draw you a picture more based off what character or object you describe." Alice said and Alina lit up. "Really?!" She exclaimed, carefully handing back the art piece to the girl. "I wouldn't be bothering you though, right? Honestly, I would hang it right above my bed. I would probably even frame it!" Alina chattered on. "Oh my gosh, I don't even know what I want to ask for! Can you draw plans? What about mermaids? Ooh, ooh! I am obsessed with cats, what about that?" Suggestions poured out of her and Alina wasn't quite sure she could stop.
"There was this one time when I was back in muggle school we did finger painting. I was completely covered in the paint cause I liked putting it more on my skin than the paper," she laughed. "Papa thought it was really funny, but my mama was very mad. She's very proper and didn't like it one bit." She crossed her legs. "How did you get into art? What made you start?"

Alice shook her head, "It's no bother really!" she said, then blinked as Alina went on. Alina was quite the talker, Alice kinda wished she could talk as much as that without having a mini mental break down. "And, I can draw any of those... or perhaps even find a way to get all of that in the one picture..." That last part was quieter, because it was more to herself, to be honest she was getting inspired...

Alice chuckled, "I guess I got into art because it's been sort of an influence on me from a young age. My mother used to draw quite a bit, but rarely. I used to steal her sketch books and god was her art brilliant... of course... later on mother would come in to find that I have drawn all over her drawings, and since I was little, it was more like scribbles and messy lines."
