Are you a beast or human? Pv Dakota Olson

Henry nodded a bit with a smile toward the first year talk about things that she could look forward to during her summer holiday. A part of Henry thought perhaps he should do the same, he did went to appear less like a pessimist and more like a optimist.

Uh let's see... I'm looking forward to seeing my brother and spending time with him, also visiting my friends over the summer and seeing Rose... well actually becoming step siblings with her and her other siblings then there's moving and not knowing where were going or what the summer holiday will hold....stop! Don't panic yourself or try not to at least, just breath...

Henry took a breath as he listened to Dakota with a smile, it depends on what happens with the other around him which means things couldn't be that bad right? Henry continued to hide his emotions with the barrier as he replied to Dakota, " thank you and I'm sure you'll be fine as well Dakota."

Henry smiled toward the first year as he listened to her talk about her brother. The young teen was unsure with what to say or how to react, he didn't want to appear selfish or rude and just pass over it but he didn't want to pull at something that Dakota may not want to talk about either. After a moment Henry found his words and let silence build between them before speaking" that's good that he knows how to handle it and that he has someone like you to help him," Henry smiled softly to the first year for a moment and everything felt rather still around them.

"I wouldn't say overwhelm but definitely crowded, I'm going from living with two or occasionally three others to around ten or so," Henry replied with a playful and sarcastic tone in his voice as he eyed the first year and let his smile grow, becoming more relaxed as time went on.

And the conversation continued back to animals and creatures to the excitement of one Henry Knight as he listened to Dakota before nodding with a smile as he replied" wicked, howler monkeys are rather interesting with how they use their tail as a third hand and mating or family values," the young twenty then took a moment deciding on what to say as numerous different animals.and creatures spiraled around his head as he spoke" for non-magical, it has to be the fox specifically the red fox. The way that they burrow themselves and hide from predators has always interest me and their also rather cunning creatures."

The fox was definitely near the top for non-magical creatures but it wasn't first, he didn't think he had a favorite favorite one mainly because their all interesting. Henry then smiled as he took a moment to take a breath before continuing, " for magical then it would be the Bowtruckle. Did you know that they only live in wand quality trees and each group has sort of a ranking or family rank, when I lived in Godric Hollow there use to be a group of them that lived in a tree near that forest. I gained there trust but after moving o hadn't seen them in over two years or so."

Henry then decided to stop talking since he noticed that he already said a lot, he couldn't believe that he just rambled like that especially since it wasn't in his nature to do so. The young teen felt embarrassed but didn't show it as he looked over at Dakota with a small smile.

"Maybe we can meet up later then? So you could meet Loki?" Henry asked definitely wanting to meet with Dakota again and talk with her about animals and creatures.

Henry found himself smiling toward the girl, as their conversation was on siblings he found that they understood each other at a sense. Or perhaps she understood it better than most he heard which he was thankful for, the young teen watch her reposition her stance so he decided to reposition his as well.

Keeping a straight back mainly by accidental as he sipped his bag off and set it by his feet before loosely crossing his arms over his chest as he met Dakota gaze with a smile as he spoke" I agree with that, siblings can be either blessings or curses or in between. My older brother; Arthur is 19 and he's definitely a blessing while my twin sister can be rather a mix at times," the young teen then remembered she ran away and hadn't been found which made him feel guilty saying that as he aimed his eyes elsewhere for a moment to hide his embarrassment even if his emotions were already hidden.

Henry however would forced himself to move his eyes back to the first year and smiled a bit toward her with a nod before their conversation continued on.

Henry would feel his smile grow a bit and a small laugh emitted from him when he heard her words, ten was alot but unfortunately while it should be ten it wasn't as the boy spoke softly" the family would be ten counting children and parents but in the house it will be less, my brother is living with a few of his auror friends and my sister is uh.... anyway it will be around 8 maybe 9 at times," Henry felt weird saying that and felt his lips drain of fluid as his stomach did a flip. The young teen felt odd and he pursued a strand of hair back before crossing his arms in a rather relaxed stance.

However their conversation went back to animals and creatures and the young teen smile up at Dakota as he listened to her comment about foxes, particularly artic foxes as he nodded a bit only replying" they are rather beautiful," before listening to the girl talk about Nifflers and Hippogriffs as well, it felt nice to discuss animals or creatures again with someone.

"Nifflers are wicked as well, they have a love for anything shining and are pretty crafty to but if done by a professional can he trained to help do good," Henry spoke quietly as facts about the niffler came spiraling around his mind before moving toward the hippogriff as he took a moment before speaking" and the hippogriff is wicked as well, their a proud creature that takes pride in their appearance and attitude. They only show respect to toward who show it to them, they also are meant eaters and particularly favor small rodents like ferrets."

Henry could have gone on but stopped as he felt like he was rambling again, instead the but quietly spoke" sorry about that," and aimed his eyes down, still hiding his emotions behind the barrier. The young teen would meet Dakota's eyes again when she spoke about meeting up later and Henry smiled as he spoke" brilliant and Loki should love you then if you give him tuna treats," smiling a bit not wanting to leave yet as he looked at the girl and decided to go with it as he asked" by chance do you want to be friends Dakota?"

Henry would looked up at the first year with a smile, she certainly was optimistic the young teen thought as he replied" thank you, I do hope we do," Henry did hope that his twin was found soon but couldn't be sure if it was possible since he hadn't had any information about it and all of his findings weren't going well either.

"You brother will be okay to or he will be esepcailly since he has someone as kind and positive as you," Henry spoke never actually likening when the attention was on him or when someone was helping him through his own problems. He much preferred to help others and give them advice as he spoke warmly toward the girl, " in times of darkness there's always light at the end of the tunnel, Dakota."

Henry smiled toward the girl and hoped he could help her, if not at that moment then later on through the summer or years even.

Soon their conversation drifted back toward animals and creatures and naturally Henry smiled as he listened to the girls own comments on hippogriffs nodding along to her with a smile before agreeing, " they really are, their intelligence is something almost equivalent to a centaur or person."

However when the young teen heard the young girl mutter something of a apology, Henry only smiled warmly toward her and took half a step closer as he spoke" don't be, I'm quite enjoying the conversation," Henry smiled to her before hearing her response to his apology which gave him a idea.

"What if we have magical and non-magical animal or creature studying sessions together then," Henry asked smiling at the girl it would give her the chance to learn more about magical creatures and Henry would have his chance to nerd out about animals and creatures with another.

"Then once you do, we'll meet up and I can show a few tricks Loki learned, " Henry replied thinking about his beloved but mischievous and intelligent orange feline who had trust issues with others at times hoping that he got along with Dakota.

"Brilliant," Henry spoke when the girl mentioned they could both be friends but now that he thought of it, while yes they knew about each other's years and family's. They didn't know the basics like age, houses, hobbies or other hobbies, and other silly questions as Henry smiled before asking" since were friends than could I ask what house your in or what's your age or what about your hobbies? Those seem like friend questions, right?"

"You are too, Dakota," Henry replied back to the girl when he heard her compliment. It felt odd to talk to her, the young teen was relaxed even with his anxiety in the back of his mind. Dakota also seemed to understand him and it felt like they knew each other for longer, Henry only felt that way with a few people one of them being his best friend; Logan Baird.

The young teen would smile softly to her sti hiding his emotions as he listened to her words. Their conversation went back to animals and creatures, the young teen smiled a bit wider again as he saw Dakota facial expressions change as well to what he guesses was happiness but wasn't sure.

"Your correct about centaurs, their known for stargazing and astronomy and divination actually. Their suppose to be genius when it comes to those things but they only don't like people because the ministry classifies them as beasts and also because of past wars," Henry replied before training his eyes down a bit. The young teen never enjoyed it when he rambled or talk in long bursts, in his mind he thought it was selfish or arrogant almost.

When Dakota agreed to the studying sessions, the young teen felt himself smile as he held his arms in front of his chest and looked down a bit before back at the girl as he spoke" brilliant," before listening to her words again and nodding a bit as he spoke" Loki is definitely to smart for his own good but I'm sure Kaelum is to. You are right about all cats being smarter than we think."

Henry smiled at the girl, glad to have made a friend in her as he listened to her silently repeating and memorizing the information to himself.

"When is your birthday?" Henry asked before taking a slight pause as he tool a breath then begun to speak" I'm thirteen and will be fourteen next April, I'm in slytherin and some of my hobbies are; reading, photography, dueling, being or hanging out with my brother and friends I guess. I like to play violin and guitar as wel," Henry would look up and smile a little to the girl.

Henry listened to Dakota words as their conversation drifted to Centaurs which was one of the topics he was passionate about, the young teen believed that Creatures should he classified as humans for their intelligence.

Just like how students or people who were werewolves, Dhampir's, Parseltounges, Part Giants, and Parr Goblins should be classified as human to instead of beast or monsters or others. Unfortunately Henry kept this part a secret, while he did like Dakota the teen wasn't sure about telling her that he was a werewolf just yet. Perhaps later.

"Exactly Centaurs shouldn't be classified a beast because their not full human, their more advanced then we are in most ways and so should be classified as a person and so for the wars. A few books mentioned their involvement but it was rather messy and uh difficult so," Henry replied to the first year with a small smile as he remembered the books he read on past wars and centaurs. It wasn't exactly a nice read but the young teen certainly found those books interesting that he might of read them a few more times.

The conversation started to end as Henry listened to the girl talk about Kaelum, it almost reminded him of Loki and how the mischievous feline learned tricks to get away with certain things or obtain different items. The young teen would brush a few strands of hair from his eyes with a smile as he would reply" Kaelum sounds intelligent and brilliant, I hope I can meet him some day."

The blue eyes would listen to the girl and silently remember her birthday, telling himself that he would do something nice for the girl or get her something on November the 21st.

"April 13th and I'll show you my photos and let you listen to me play if you can show me your drawings and let me listen to you play the ukulele," Henry spoke with a smile. He was glad that he went there that day and he was glad that he met Dakota. He was expecting to come across anyone but he did and he made a friend, someone who shared his passion with animals to.

The young teen took note of the breeze in the and position of the sun, it was nearly dinner and he suspected the first hear wouldn't want to skip it like Henry would so he spoke" it's nearly dinner, would you like to meet up tomorrow after classes by the great lake?"

Henry would wait for the girl's answer and nod a bit with a smile before speaking" it was a pleasure meeting you Dakota and I'm glad were friends," the young teen would wave to her a bit before lifting up his bag and pulling it back on. He would then turn and make his way out of the class as he headed back toward the slytherin common room and soon his dormitory, he was glad that he met Dakota and could call her a friend.
