A Magical Start.

he giggled a bit too when she joked about his curls, laughter IS contagious.``i don't hate the chefs hat, just a bit embarrassing. But hey, the customer is always right`` he snickered.``and my curls do in fact, poke out. `` he bowed his head a little trying to stop himself from laughing too loud, since he realized the train itself wasn't nearly that loud. He tends to lose control of his volume before anything else.

"Everyone bleeds the same blood," Adonis was almost startled when she said that, because his dad often said the same thing, when adonis told him about the bullying.his dad went on rants about it but never actually did anything, because he wanted adonis to fight back. He did feel incredibly better when she said all that. Everyone else at his old school treated him like an alien, all stuck up like. ``yeah, you're right. But if you ever come over, my room is off limits. its so messy i don't think anyone but me knows there way in!`` he laughs. ``actually though-thanks , that really made ,me feel better.`` he leaned forward a bit, hunching over. you can actually see his spine slightly through his light shirt, since hes not muscular at all.

She smiled a little, "Maybe I'll help you clean your room like I helped you clean your bag," she laughed and shook her head, "that was a joke. I know I seem organised but my room is a total mess, it's a bit embarrassing."

Lillian thought of her room back home. It was quite messy. She had a desk with an old fancy mirror on it and it was covered with all things - a hairbrush, old teacups, books and papers. All sorts of things. "You know in my room on my little desk thing there's dead flowers...I know I should really get rid of them but I actually quite like how they look, which I suppose is a bit odd...I just think that they're still beautiful even if they're dead." she said, then she shook her head, "I'm sorry, that was a weird thing to say, I doubt you care that much." She laughed again before scratching the back of her neck.

"But you know, my room is a mess too...There's books and clothes and all sorts of things all over the floor. It's like it's a mess but also organised because I know where everything is and I like it that way." She smiled, looking around the train.

He couldn't imagine her room being dirty for some reason, but his definition of clean differs from most people. Adonis perked up from his hunchback position when she spoke of the dead flowers.
``aye, my mum does that sorta. she hangs flowers up till there dead and dry all the time. i find them scattered around the house a lot and sometimes i put them in my room. Makes it smell better.`` he hesitates- ``Not that my room smells bad or anything! it smells normal!`` he was a bit flustered. ``my rooms just a mess, not even i know where things are, but hey! home is home.`` he smiled, he loved his house and wouldn't want anything different. although its a small house, they have a yard with a big tree. That tree was probably the biggest part of his childhood. next to baking, of course.

``my mom told about the uh..houses of hogwarts? i don't remember all of em,i only 'member ravenclaw and gryffindor. but my mum was a ravenclaw. what do you think you'll be?`` he scratched his head, honestly a bit curious. ``or what do you hope you get??``

"Oh, I know a lot about the houses of Hogwarts, I did a bit of research on them, Read a few books." She nodded, "I think it's a bit of a silly system, cause like, peoples' values can change and they can have mixed values and stuff so I don't really like it but I suppose it's just for ease," she said with a sigh, "I don't know...I don't think I fit any of them. What about you? I think you'd be a Hufflepuff."

Lillian said this because Adonis was so kind to her, and she had heard that Hufflepuffs were like that. Loyal and patient and all of that, in fact Adonis was probably one of the nicest boys she'd ever met in her life. She tried hard to think about what house she would be in. Maybe Hufflepuff because she had read that they valued hard-work and justice. But Slytherins were resourceful and ambitious. She had read that Ravenclaws valued intelligence, creativity, learning, and wit which fit her quite a bit, she was smart and she liked writing and playing music. Then there was Gryffindor. who valued bravery and all of that. "I don't think I'll get Gryffindor...But yeah, I definitely think you'll be a Hufflepuff."

``i actually super agree with you on the whole thing being silly. my mum said i should get into uh gryffindor cause i'm chivalrous? i dunno, i dozed out a whole bunch. i dunno what hufflepuff is but you're prolly right!`` he giggled. his mom really wants a gryffindor in the family for some reason, and really wanted adonis to be one. he wasn't brave at all though. ``if i had to guess for you, i'd say uhh....ravenclaw or gryffindor. those are the only two i actually know about anyways.`` he laughs a bit too loud at his own joke. ``wasn't there a fourth house?`` he tries to think of its name yet he just cant. Hes visibly using most of his brain power. ``i even wrote notes when my mom was talking bout' this yet i still cant seem to member'!``

``eh no matter, how do they figure this stuff out anyways? like a quiz? ew, i hope its not one of those silly personality quizzes. `` he scoffed. ``or they have some magical way to do it. like....`` he gasped dramatically. ``Magic quizzes! actually that sounds quite dumb..`` he bites his fist. ``sorry, im askin' lots of questions haha.``

Lillian giggled as Adonis spoke. "Adonis, don't get scare, but the fourth house is Slytherin and they're all about snakes." She wiggled her fingers in his face and continued to giggled.

Once she had finally stopped laughing and giggling, she was able to talk, "But no, it's not a personality quiz. They put a special magic hat on your head and it shouts out whatever house you're in. You know, I think its silly because you could probably just say to it 'oh I wanna be in Gryffindor' and it'll be like 'aye off you go then'." She laughed.

"But yeah, that's really the only magical way to do it, and then you go and sit at the right table I think." She nodded, but then a worried expression appeared on her face. She was worried that if her and Adonis were in different houses, it would be harder for them to spend time together. Lillian adored Adonis, he quickly became her friend, and it would crush her if they were no longer able to hang out. The thought of it terrified her and the worry on her face became extremely extremely clear and obvious, Adonis could probably see it.

``what. why would someone WANT to be all about snakes. no way in the world`` he backed away from her wiggling fingers, giggling.

when she said it was a talking hat adonis almost burst into laughter.`` TALKING HAT??? your joking! that's so cool! we should try to get in the same house if we just ask it. its probably a nice old hat.`` he chuckled. ``if i get in slytherin i'm leaving that school right after`` he laughs again, and lets her continue.

"you go and sit at the right table I think." The thought shot like a bullet through adonis's mind too. he looked slightly worried but covered it back up with a small polite grin and looked over to her. He could tell she was worried, and he is smart enough to guess why. He put his hand on her shoulder and looked her in the eyes- ``Hey, even if we get in different houses, we are bound to have classes together, and there's probably freetime. we'll still be able to hang out, im sure of it. `` He still had the doubt in his mind, but he decided not to fuel it anymore, and just try to help lillian.

Lillian felt a lot better when he said that to her, and she went slightly red when he looked her in the eyes. Adonis was so reassuring that it was hard for her not to feel better, so she let a small smile spread across her face. "I really hope we can spend a lot of time together...It's embarrassing to admit, but I'm really quite clingy around the right people." she let out a nervous chuckle and scratched the back of her neck like she often did when she was nervous. Then she had the overwhelming urge to hug him, but she managed to hold back.

"You're really good at making me feel better...Thank you, a lot." She nodded and held onto her own fingers. She glanced out the window at the moving landscape surrounding them, she thought it was beautiful, and then she looked at Adonis again. She liked looking at him an awful lot, his kind face and his bright, curly hair made her feel warm and safe. Then she couldn't hold back anymore, "Adonis?" she asked, "I don't want to make you uncomfortable, but is it alright if I hug you you?" she said shyly, looking at him.

``don't worry, im pretty clingy to anyone who talks to me`` he laughs a bit. he saw her look out the window and just silently observed. He thought she was very sophisticated and bright. ``you don't need to thank me for something i wanna do. if that makes sense...'' he decided to rephrase it. ``i mean, I want to make you feel better, its not burden.`` once she turned back to look at him he started admiring her hair. He hasn't really took the time in his brain to think about it. he also makes direct


"I don't want to make you uncomfortable, but is it alright if I hug you ?" he didn't even hesitate. ``Yes! of course!`` he immediately opened his arms for a hug, his hair bouncing a little. his long sleeves covered most of his hands, and only his fingers poked out. ``you don't need to ask for a hug from me like 88% of the time!`` he smiled and kept bouncing. hugs make him extremely excited and jittery. His mum said he gave the best ones around too, so it gave him some confidence. his arms wiggled a little.

Lillian had never seen anyone this excited to have a hug. She smiled at his excitement. For a moment she thought he was cute but she quickly shook the thought from her head and reached forward, hugging him tightly. She didn't Really mean to hug him so tight, but she just couldn't help it. It was a nice feeling, she thought that he smelled nice and he was warm, and she smiled to herself.

"Thank you...Sometimes hugs make me nervous and I prefer when people ask first so I just wanted to make sure.." she told him, still not letting go of the hug. She began to feel like she was hugging him a lot longer than she should have but she really really didn't want to let go, which made her cheeks go a little red out of embarrassment.

For a moment, Lillian considered pulling away, but truthfully she didn't want to and she planned on hugging him until he pulled away...Or at least until he told her to stop or something like that. Maybe she was getting too comfortable around him, but at this point she wasn't bothered by it much. She was just glad to have someone there for her.
