It's only a adventure
The eerie darkness kept Henry awake in his bed as he tried to sleep.
Hugging his pillow in his arms while Loki slept at his feet, the young teen tossed and turned for a while finding it difficult to close his eyes and rest for a moment. Thoughts continued to spiral around his mind, keeping him up through the night as he placed the pillow behind him and rested his head on it.
Staring up through the darkness at the bunk above him, his bunk mate was probably asleep with his own feline. Most of his dorm mates were probably asleep actually. They were all lucky as the young teen laid there unable to quiet his mind long enough to get some rest.
Henry rubbed his eyes before laying his arms over them as thoughts spiraled around his mind and the teen let out a barley audible groan.
He had a feeling that he wouldn't getting any sleep that night either so his best option was to probably read in the common room if he still had time before curfew. It was better than risk waking one of his dorm mates up and facing their possible wrath.
The thirteen year old would carefully crawl from his bed, careful not to disturb his sleeping feline before tip toeing from his dormitory as to make sure not to wake anyone as he entered the common room.
It was rather eerie at night but Henry found it intriguing as well as a bit cold, luckily the young teen decided to leave his blue pajamas on instead of changing into more casual clothes.
Henry would find a spot on the couch and close his eyes for a moment hoping to finally get some rest with the change of scenery, unfortunately his thought followed along with the strange voice in his head from his anxiety.
Henry felt himself rubbing his eyes and feeling tried but also rather restless as his eyes drifted toward the entrance of the common room. It was past curfew and he could get into trouble if he was caught but on the other hand he couldn't sleep and had a sudden feeling or actually a longing to go out to explore the corridors at night.
Henry took a breath and looked around the darkness of the the common room for a moment while his thoughts and that voice played in his mind almost convincing... telling him to go.
After some minutes Henry Knight would get you from the couch and move toward the entrance of the slytherin common room.
The young teen found himself walking through the corridors of Hogwarts at night and alone after being unable to fall asleep. He knew of the dangers that could happen but was still rather curious as he walked, crossing his arms on his chest as he felt rather chilly that night.
The young teen didn't know what could happen that night or who he would meet, only thing was he wasn't expecting to find another student sneaking around like himself.

It's only a adventure
Winnie couldn't seem to fall asleep. It was not like she wasn't tired, it was just... Her mind would not stop wandering. So much had happened around the castle in the passed few days and every time she closed her eyes, it was all she could think about.
On the other hand, there was Jack. She had the image of his face engraved into her brain at this point, how could she not? His soft red hair, those twinkling hazel eyes, his smile... How he had smelled just like an old book, and oh how that was Winnie's favourite scent. There was nothing quite like burying your nose into a book and inhaling. It was almost like absorbing memories, and Jack was the first person to ever smell like books... He was...
Ugh. No, she couldn't sleep at all, not when she had Jack on her mind. If she could only see him once more... But it was night time, how would she accomplish that? She had to clear her head. She sighed and carefully slid out of her fourposter bed, ignoring the soft 'mew' of protest that her orange tabby, Pumpkin, made when he lost the warmth of her body. She tucked her feet inside of her pink fox slippers and pulled her long white nightgown closer. The night air was often chilly up in the Ravenclaw tower, so she often wore long nightgowns to ward off the cold.
She tiptoed carefully out of the first year dormitory and down to the common area. Upon seeing no one was around she walked over to the bookshelf, her eyes darting across the titles of various books. She still found her mind drifting... She sighed and stepped away, gazing over at the door. She had never been out past curfew before... Perhaps it wasn't such a big deal? She gnawed nervously on her bottom lip, glancing around to see if any of the paintings or perhaps a prefect was watching her. Then, she teetered over to the door to the Ravenclaw dorm and slid outside.
This was it. She was breaking the rules. Her mother had raised a rulebreaker! She felt powerful, she felt confident, she felt.... Like she was still thinking about Jack Burnett. Merlin, what was a girl to do? Perhaps if she could manage to sneak down to the Slytherin dorms... To just be nearby where he was resting his beautiful head of hair, dreaming of... Hopefully her, but likely something scholarly such as his favourite Shakespearean quotes. "Oh Romeo, your Juliet is on her way..." She whispered to herself. Surely their story wouldn't end in tragedy? Would the fates allow her to cross through the treacherous dark school and into his arms? Perhaps he was also awake, thinking about her...
She sighed dreamily to herself and crept amongst the shadows to go find her star-crossed lover. She carefully slid along the walls, pausing when she thought she heard a sound. So far so good... She was tiptoeing her way through a corridor when she suddenly saw the figure of a boy. Could it be... Jack? Was he really here to see her? Was fate truly that kind?
She rushed towards the figure, excitedly bouncing along her way. It was him! It was Jack, he was here, they would embrace and he would tell her secrets all night. "Jack!" She called out happily before stopping in her tracks and staring over at a brunet boy who very obviously wasn't Jack Burnett, the love of her life. "Oh. You're not Jack..." She stated as if it were a crime. "Why are you out of bed? You could get into trouble." She placed her hands on her hips and stared over at him disapprovingly.

It's only a adventure
Henry continued to walk through the corridors alone, it was dark and the shadows on the walls from the outside could be imagined to be monsters if one believed them to be.
It was rather quiet and lonely there but the young teen didn't mind, he preferred spending time alone from others. Even if it was nice to talk to someone and make friends or laugh with his own friends, finding some time to be alone was good to. He was a mixture of a introvert and extrovert after all.
The young teen continued down not sure where he would be going, perhaps outside to sit or rest in nature but that also seemed like the most dangerous of places at night. Then there was always the library, Henry figured he could try sneaking into the restricted section again or read through the books he hadn't read yet.
Or perhaps he could try sneaking into the gryffindor or hufflepuff dormitories to see his friends. Their original reaction could be shock or disbelief or perhaps disapproval but after he was certain they would have fun all throughout the night.
As he walked, a voice broke from the shadows and for a moment Henry thought and actually hoped it was a prefect or professor arriving to catch him. He would he in trouble and probably earn detention but at least he won't be alone and he would know that another cared about him or noticed that he was missing from his dormitory to come search for him.
However when Henry came to a halt and watched the figure come from the shadows he noticed it was a girl calling someone by the name of Jack and clearly was disappointment when he wasn't Henry.
The blue eyes of the teen looked over the girl when he heard her voice and couldn't help a small smile as he spoke"aren't you breaking the same rules that I am tonight to," Henry knew that she wasn't a prefect after all he seen them all before in either good times or bad not to mention the girl looked younger than him so perhaps a first year.
"Your secret is safe with me no less," Henry spoke with a smile as he took a few steps closer to the girl and slipped his hands into his pockets before be would introduce himself, " I'm Henry Knight."
The young teen couldn't help but wonder who they were calling, their name was Jack and the only one thay Henry knew was his dorm mate. He wouldn't be surprised if the girl was looking for him after all it seemed like Jack Burnett was the nicest lad around the the corridors of Hogwarts.
Well nice and rather a flirt, Jack had the personality that one could call a flirty. It seemed almost every girl or boy close enough to him had strange feelings for the lad. After all just look at his bunk mate; Flash who seemed to be love with Jack. Henry was certain that they were dating and since they weren't, he was willing it bet galleons that Flash Holmwood and Jack Burnett would start dating before their fifth year.
"Were you looking for Jack Burnett," Henry asked the girl and went wait a moment or two before continuing, " he's my dorm mate and a second year like myself," Henry thought how they were both second years and dorm mates and had some things in common but in the end Jack always seemed like the coolest in the snape dormitory.
"I don't think he's out tonight, he's probably sleep in his bunk room with Flash or talking with him," Henry spoke not completely sure what the two were doing at this time of night. He was only concern with not disturbing anyone and nothing else when he left his dormitory.

It's only a adventure
Winnie blinked over at the teen boy. He seemed a bit older than her. Why was he out in the hallways lurking around amongst the shadows? She tensed her shoulders when he took a few steps closer. Her mother had warned her about this. About stranger danger. If he tried to attack her, she had a pretty mean right hook. She crossed her arms over her chest, her blue eyes flickering up and down the boy's form. He was in his pajamas, he was definitely a student. She suddenly registered that he was talking to her. "It's not a secret. I'm out for a walk, just like you are. As for getting caught... It depends on how careful you are." She didn't know why she had said that, it wasn't as though she were some kind of master of stealth, but she also didn't want the boy to underestimate her, just in case he did end up being dangerous. "I'm Winnie Harper. Do you usually not offer your hand to a girl when you meet her, or am I just the odd one out?" She quirked a brow at him. Why was he out walking around anyways? ... What if he was a student but not a living student?
"Are you a ghost?" She suddenly blurted out. "Because if so, I can't help you move on to the afterlife. I have way too much on my mind right now." Like JACK. And his face... His eyes... UGH, her mere existence was agony without her new friends. She wanted to see Ruka too. Would he be interested in helping a ghost? It would be an awfully fun adventure.
"Huh?" She snapped out of her fantasy when the boy named Henry spoke the name of the person who was causing her inner turmoil. Her heart skipped a beat at the mere sound of his name, her face burning crimson red. She had said Jack's name out loud? In her state of delusion she hadn't realized it. Then again, she had also said that Henry wasn't Jack. Oh Merlin... "U-Uh..." She balked, blinking over at him. She wanted to disappear into thin air, and then, to her extreme horror, Henry mentioned that he was Jack's room mate.
She had to say something. She couldn't just stand there with her mouth agape. She swallowed, her throat suddenly dry. "I... I had a dream about Burnett." She wasn't sure why lying was her first response, considering how much she disliked lying, but she couldn't let Jack's dorm mate know how much of a crush she had on him. "He was in the hallway and he was in trouble. When I woke up I was a bit startled, so I... I um, left the dorm room so I could ensure it was only a dream." She shrugged her shoulders, her face still red. "He and Ruka are my friends, so I naturally worry about them." She concluded, her hands reaching up to start twisting pieces of her waist length red hair around her index finger.

It's only a adventure
Henry took a step closer to the girl. Her dress hair almost lit up the dark corridor and her light pink nightgown however what the blue eye boy spotted and liked about her appearance was her pink fox slippers that look sorry of cute.
Her voice came again and he was able to look her up and down. Get a better picture of her as he saw she had blue eyes as well and was a hesr young at best so probably a first year and her voice sounded soft or smooth to the ears.
Henry would nod toward her words, he guessed that they both were out first a walk doing their best not to get caught. It was a good thing that he came across her rather than a professor or prefect not that another detention would be the worst thing to happen to to young teen. It was rather the fact that he didn't want to go to his common room yet.
"I find nightly walks to be rather peaceful and intriguing," Henry replied hiding all his emotion behind a barrier giving him a emotionless appearance. However he did have a single soft smile on his face and his blue eyes shimmied with kindness as he spoke" avoiding getting caught isn't difficult to do if you know where to go and where to avoid." The young teen was good with sneaking around, he was used to getting into mischief or bending the rules then avoiding trouble it was just another gift that his intelligence allow him to do.
Henry smiled at the girl a bit and usually didn't offer others hands when he met them. It made him feel awkward or more like his father, both looked like nightmares to the teen. Henry perfer casual introductions and friendly interactions, he already tended to struggle at toward because of his anxiety but if the girl insisted then he would comply.
Henry would take a few short steps to her and hold out his hand to her with a smile as he spoke" pleasure to meet you Winnie," the young teen did gave a grin along with a playfully tone as he spoke" and I usually don't offer it hand when sneaking around, I tend to keep my identity a secret but now you know who I am so I need to kill you," Henry would laugh a bit since the last statement was meant as a joke before he would slip his hands into his pajama pockets after Winnie choose to or didn't choose to shake his hand.
"Only joking, so do you have any intended destination in mind?" Henry asked curious about where she was headed to after all she was the one who shouted Jack's name from down the corridor a few minutes ago.
"I'm either going to the library or the gryffindor common room or the hufflepuff common room," Henry spoke not yet sure where he wanted to go but knew it would probably be one of the three places after all there wasn't much for one to do at night esepcailly when you were alone.
However when he heard her question, the teen just looked at her with a smile as he spoke" no I'm not a ghost but are you one? You do look graceful and lovely enough to be one," Henry then let out a small laugh as he would dramatic say with a playful tone, " do you require assist to move to the afterlife? What does my lady ghost need to move one that I could assist with." Henry would let a small laugh slip out but hide the rest of his emotions as he left his hands tucked away inside his pajama pants pockets.
Henry caught her single words and felt like he did something wrong. He probably said something stupid or irrational or perhaps childish, instantly the young term wished to go back in time so he didn't just embarrass himself or make her feel awkward. The teen blamed himself for her ability not to speak at the moment and rather quickly spoke" I'm sorry if I said or did anything to make you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, uh I could leave if you want Winnie?"
The young teen waited for her answer but it was unexpected. Henry would leave his hands in his pockets and eye the girl, his blue eyes scanning her physical features whole his mind development a logistical explanation for her answer.
She has a dream about Jack? Alright that's weird... do people do that? Have dreams about others?
Well I had a dream about Anna and Arthur and mother and father and my friends occasionally.. but those aren't dreams, more like nightmares.. still is it possible that she did?
And if she did wouldn't that mean she either cares about him like I care about my friends or have a crush on him? It certainly explains why she would call his name out for no reason at the end of the corridor and how is talking about a dream that she had of him... seriously that guy has to be one of the mod popular ones in the snape dormitory well it isn't like theirs much competition when it comes to popularity in the snape dormitory....
Henry listened to her describe her dream and naturally didn't believe it would come true after all the teen didn't believe in the magic of seers so he wasn't about to believe that his dreams and now hers can come true.
Apparently both Ruka and Jack were her friends, the young teen nodded toward her words before letting his blue eyes scan around the corridor before landing back to Winnie where he would say" well Jack isn't here and probably back in the dorm with the others," Henry would smile toward her and knew how it felt to worry and care if friends so he would softly speak to her, "I worry and care about my friends as well and occasionally have toward dreams about them but their just dreams, always will be and nothing bad will ever come from them," the young teen would give her a small smile before started to walk pass her when he would chuckle a bit as he came a halt next to her and spoke" and your crush on Jack is safe with me."

It's only a adventure
When Henry took a step closer to her, she automatically took a step back. She couldn't help it; they were out in the dark corridor and he was a stranger. Also she wasn't entirely convinced that he wasn't a murderer or a ghost, he had refused to offer her his hand at first. That definitely seemed like something a ghost would do. He was looking her up and down, as if assessing if her soul was worth stealing! Would she not live to see her 13th birthday? "... Intriguing because you plan on finding souls to steal?" Winnie suddenly questioned, her body still tense. She wasn't going to fall for this little game of his! "Do you not get caught because you can walk through walls?"
Her eyes flickered down to his hand, and then up again to his face, then back down to his hand. She carefully reached forward before quickly shaking his hand. Hmm, it didn't fall through his form... Perhaps he was telling the truth? Perhaps he was just a normal boy who was lonely and wandering around the halls aimlessly, perhaps she had misjudged him... DID HE JUST SAY HE WAS GOING TO KILL HER? She paled a bit and backed away, "I didn't forget my wand, you know." She warned him, pointing to her ear to show she had tucked it behind it. She blinked over at him when he laughed, realizing it had been a joke. Was he trying to make fun of her tense demeanor? It was working.
Location? Her mother had always told her not to go to a secondary location with someone, especially strangers. "Oh, nope, I was just enjoying the dark." It was half true, although she had been trying to sneak down to the Slytherin dorm to be close to Jack. Wait a minute, Jack... He would let her get murdered, right? "What, how can you get into Hufflepuff or Gryffindor? I thought we weren't allowed in other dorms? ... Can you get me into Slytherin?" Unless he was able to get into the dorms because he could walk through walls, GASP!
"Me?" She asked in surprise. He was trying to pull the old switch-a-roo on her or something. "I'm not a ghost, I'm a 12 year old girl who likes nightgowns." Wait, did he just say he would assist her? Hmm... "Oh, actually, you caught me, oops!" She grinned, "Now you have to help me, I need to get into the Slytherin dorm room or I'm afraid I won't be able to move on to the afterlife."
She shook her head at the uncomfortable comment, how could he tell? She was very uncomfortable, but it wasn't particularly Henry's fault. It was just an odd scenario to meet in, and Winnie's theory that he was a ghost certainly didn't help him. "You can't leave me alone until we've gotten to the Slytherin dorm!" No way was she going anywhere with him expect there. If he was a ghost, Jack could help her. If he wasn't... She could still see Jack.
It seemed like he was understanding of her concern, and Winnie had thought she might have gotten away with her lie and was ready to start following him when he suddenly stopped in his tracks and made a comment about her crush on Jack. She flushed a dark red and half glared at the boy. "... What crush? Who has a crush? Burnett? No." He was just teasing her, right? How could he possibly have known... Unless... Could he read minds too?!

It's only a adventure
Henry found the girl to be rather odd well a good way. She was unexpected but rather fun to be around and someone who probably has loads of friends.
Actually Henry was certain that she had lots of friends. She was fun and kindhearted, someone who is brave enough to sneak around at night and have fun in the situation. That is probably how they never met since Henry preferred to stay away from the chaos with a fee close friends while he thought she would be in the center of it with a large group of friends.
This was the first time he was up past curfew and walking along the corridors, it also was the first time that someone thought he was a ghost or intimidating. Most would pass him by for a tall, skinny nerdy looking boy who wasn't strong enough to do much. Which part of it was true since he was more mentally strong then he was physically strong.
"Why would someone steal a soul when they could trick it instead?" Henry replied in a playful tone before he would continue in a more chill and relax one, " I actually find it intriguing because I'm curious what animals or creatures I would find at night outside. I want to see if I could find a bowtruckle or the giant squid or a moonclaf but they only come out during the full moon," Henry then quickly stopped talking as he noticed that he started rambling about creatures which was half expected for the boy who loved them and loved reading.
"Sorry," Henry muttered in a low voice and diverted his eyes for a moment hiding all another emotion behind his barrier until he heard Winnie's words again and offered her a smile as he spoke" I was joking before and I'm not a ghost, just a weird thirteen year old teen," Henry laughed a bit before stopping and rubbing a hand on the back of his neck as he spoke softly" I'm sorry if I made things awkward or made you uncomfortable, I never meant to and I'm sorry."
Henry would slip his hands into his pockets and offer Winnie a small smile, the rest of his emotions remained hidden behind the barrier. He originally thought they were just joking around until he heard her statement and felt bad that he might have freaked her out or scared her so he would softly say" I was only joking but I'm sorry if I freaked you out or made you uncomfortable," Henry smiled and would remembered his own wand in his pajama pants pocket that he only took just in case he was attacked or something happened since one child never truly know what Hogwarts.
Henry would approach the girl and hold out his left hand to her as he spoke with a smile, " here what if we start over?" It was a ridiculous idea but it wasn't the worst and Henry didn't want to make things awkward or make Winnie uncomfortable, " I'm Henry Knight, second year slytherin duelist and not a blood purist and I don't care a bout houses or blood statues and I'm not a bully or ghost either. I'm actually a bookworm who loves animals and magical creatures and my friends I guess," Henry would offer her his left hand with a smile and wondered if she would shake it or not.
"Alright," Henry would look at her when she said that she was enjoying the dark it wasn't a normal statement that you usually heard from others on a day to day basis. However he would listen to her next statement and forget how hard it was to get into other common rooms so now he thought he would probably head out to the astronomy tower, the view was always nice and rather peaceful.
"I guess I just hoped I could get in and see my friends but I don't think I'll be able to so I'll probably head to the astronomy tower now, the view is pretty spectacular from up there especially from the roof at least that's what I heard. I never technically been up on the roof," Henry spoke and wondered if he would get caught if he went over to the astronomy tower and climbed onto the roof to look at the stars. It would be dangerous and risky but the view might be worth it... no it wouldn't! He runs decided the view from the tower was good enough.
"Alright twelve year old girl who likes nightgowns my apologies that I mistaken you for a ghost," Henry replied with a smile and slight playfulness before hearing her next comment and taking a moment to think on it. The girl clearly wanted to get into the slytherin common room but Henry couldn't see why, there wasn't anything special about it and actually could be rather chilly or creepy at times if the teen could admit.
"The slytherin common room is behind the way I went and down the stairs on the right all the way down to the dungeons and pass the kitchens but before the potions room. The entrance is a blank wall that you say a password to," Henry spoke gesturing behind him and he would even tell the girl the password to the common room as well since he was pretty sure she wouldn't be able to find it after all it was rather hard to find alone and the teen wasn't about to go back and risk getting caught for sneaking out past curfew and sneaking in someone of another house into the common room.
"I would go with you and help but I rather avoid the place that I just came up where my head of house and prefects could be waiting to catch me," Henry spoke with a smile and shivered a bit at the thought of his head of house catching him out of bed and imagined the possible detentions he may receive from her. All were ones that he would have rather not imagined.
Henry would smiled toward the girl, slipping his hands into his pockets as he spoke" it was a pleasure to meet and you hope to do it again but if you want it get to the slytherin common room then you should go and I'm going to head to the astronomy tower," Henry offered her a smile and was ready to leave when he heard her words and voice in his ear.
"I would help you but I also don't want to get caught," Henry explained which it was true he didn't and luckily the subjects changed and he noticed Winnie glare at him as he took a step backwards before shaking quite rapidly, " I won't tell Jack I promise and I'm sorry if I upset you! I didn't mean to, just too were sort of being obvious about it and I'm sorry if I upset you Winnie!"

It's only a adventure
Winnie definitely was not popular amongst her fellow students. She had a few friendly acquaintances, and then there were Ruka and Jack. It was quite the reverse of that, with many of her classmates teasing her and calling her names such as 'Ninny Winnie' and claiming she did not belong in Ravenclaw. She had also been compared to a stray dog quite a few times. She would not be caught dead in the spotlight. She was far too shy for such things, but would happily watch a friend perform.
“Trick a soul?” Winnie asked the Slytherin boy, slowly blinking over at him. “How would you trick a soul? Trick them into signing over their soul to you?” Like some sort of ghost version of Ursula? How would he manage to do it? By perhaps claiming to be a Hogwarts student while secretly being a ghost?! GASP!
She listened as the boy stated his desire to find a magical creature during the night. So he was a fan of animals and creatures too? She could definitely relate to that. She wasn't certain how all wizards and witches didn't find them fascinating. She suddenly remembered a detail about one of the creatures that she had read inside a book. “Bowtruckles are especially difficult to find due to their appearance, you would like have to scan over every centimeter of every tree on the grounds to find one unless you're planning to get to the island in the center of the lake. They can be hostile if they feel their tree homes are being threatened, so I would be careful approaching one. As for the others, my friend Ruka knows the squid pretty well. Maybe he can introduce you to it? You’re a fan of animals and creatures too huh?”
A weird thirteen year old boy, eh? Wouldn’t a ghost say that it was joking about being a ghost? That would be a great excuse for it. She still wasn’t entirely sure why the boy was out during the night, but if she could get him to help her... She would be cautious, but adventure did sound fun. "You didn't make me uncomfortable. You just can never be too careful when you're out alone at night. Who knows what's lurking around the corner?" A prefect? A monster? Or, perhaps even scarier, a Winnie?
When he offered his hand again, Winnie reached out to slowly shake it. She wasn't certain why he announced those things, perhaps to make himself less threatening to her. It was a stereotype that Slytherins cared about blood purity, but she knew it was untrue. Her beautiful Jack was a muggleborn, after all, so why would he care about blood purity? It was foolish anyways. "I mean... Same to all of those things, actually. Minus the name and house. I'm in Ravenclaw." She added.
"Wait..." She said when the boy started to step away after leaving her vague instructions on how to get into the snake dorm. "I don't know the password... You're going to leave me alone here in the dark castle?" She shook her head, her arms hugging herself. "Isn't that tower off limits too? Wouldn't you still get into trouble either way? Why not have a bit of an adventure with me instead?" And get her into the dorm room. She wasn't letting him get away from her that easily!
She was still flushed from his comment on Jack. "I... I didn't think I was being that obvious..." She frowned and sighed softly. "I just don't know what to do with these feelings, I've never felt this way before about someone."

It's only a adventure
"Trick like play a prank, some of my friends are into pranks and mischief so," Henry explained as he occasionally was mischievous and ready to pull a prank but not all the times. He preferred books or animals at times instead of pranks which is where he differed from a few of his friends.
When Henry heard her words on bowtruckles and the giant squid then her question a small smile could be seen on his face as he nodded while replying" yes, I love them or love studying them. You like to as well? That's wicked," Henry smiled a bit toward her and now wanted to remain in that corridor discussing different magical creatures and animals with her since he always loved conversations that did and always up to making new friends that shared his love for them.
"Bowtruckles live in wand quality wood and they have almost a social ranking and show emotions similar to humans," Henry spoke with a smile before realizing what he did and crossing his arms as he quickly spoke" I'm sorry about that, I know I can be a bit of a nerd and as for the giant squid I see him plenty of times from the slytherin common room but thanks for the offer." One of the only reasons Henry likes the slytherin common room is the windows that look out into the great lake where it could give students a perfect view of the giant squid.
"Especially at Hogwarts," Henry replied with a nod to the girl. He was glad that he didn't make her uncomfortable hurt agreed with anything could be lurking around the corridors at night after all odd events did seem to happen that night. The hufflepuff's were attacked in their common room that year and the Slytherin's were searching a part of the dungeon that smell like blood a few months ago. Then there was Halloween night and the lockdown that Henry heard about from his friends. Hogwarts wasn't a place to be taken lightly was it?
Henry shook Winnie's hand and nodded to the words with a smile before crossing his arms over his chest again as he replied" a ravenclaw? That's brilliant, I always thought Ravenclaw's are wicked," the blue eyed teen has admired the house so knowledge even before arriving at Hogwarts and and before his first year wanted to be sorted into the same house that is mum was in. However how that it has been around two years, he was starting to like and see the benefits that came with being the house of cunning.
Henry stopped and turned on his heels to the face the red head with a small grin as he slipped his hands into his pajama pockets as he spoke" first you wanted to get away from me and now you want me to stay," it was a joke as his tone had a hint of playfulness before his blue eyes scanned both ends of the corridor just in case anyone else was approaching them which the teen didn't see or smell anyone at least not yet.
His blue eyes would turn back toward Winnie as he spoke" technically we have the same chance of getting caught anywhere but, " a smile faded over his features as he thought about going on a little adventure thru the girl who like animals and magical creatures like him sounded fun as he continued" going on a adventure with you sounds fun, so where to Win?" A nickname that was a shorten version of the girl's name.
Henry would listen to her words about her crush and fall into step beside the red head as he nodded toward them before replying" love is new to me as well but from what I experienced, if you truly love him then don't wait till it's too late. Approach him, be brave and tell him. It may be scary at first but trust me telling him now instead of waiting till it's too late will leave you feeling better in the end."
