Hello Again!
Scarlet smiled when she saw that Henry had also managed to grab the papers around him, and if she was right, between them, they had been able to save them all. "Thank-you so much," she said as she accepted the papers from Henry, "Hahaha, yeah guess this is getting us prepared for the winter," she said, laughing.
Getting out of the water only made it feel worse. Walking out of the water, Scarlet looked down, noting where the water had gotten up to, her socks darkened up to her shins from the where the water had reached. The chill as the cool autumn breeze hit the damp material caused Scarlet to give a little shiver, "Wow! It feels so much colder getting out," she said as she made her way towards where her bag was.
In her rush to grab the papers, Scarlet's bag had fallen off the large rock and was laying on the ground, the bottles of juice that she was planning on getting peaking out from the bag's opening. She flattened out the sheets of paper and placed them in the middle of a textbook she grabbed from the bag. Replacing the book in her bag and pulling out the bottles, she extended one to Henry, "want one?" she asked, "I'd say you've more than earned it," she said smiling at him.
"Can't believe we actually managed to get them all before any went into the water, animal instincts I guess," she said with a grin, she thought being a werewolf must surely help with more than just their sense of smell when in human form.
She took a seat back on the rock, curious to know more about her friend. "I've realised I don't know all that much about you," she said to Henry, "we don't exactly get around to that sort of thing in the shack." Other than the basic stuff, which she guessed most other Slytherins that knew Henry would know, she didn't really know much about her friend other than the condition they shared.
"Where about are you from?" she asked, "are you used to colder temperatures like up here, or more suited to the climate down south?" Being from somewhere pretty far south herself, she knew the differences in temperature, especially during the summer months, where it felt as though it got no where near as warm, was something to get used to, particularly in terms of choosing clothes to wear.

Hello Again!
Interacting: @Scarlet Salvatore | Loki
Mentioning: Rose Moon
Henry softly smile at Scarlet, his blue eyes glisten with happiness a she handed her the papers and listened to her words.
A light laugh slipped out to her response of the water getting them ready for Christmas, although no other emotions can be seen as the teen followed Scarlet out of the water but then came to a halt when he heard her comment about feeling cold.
"Let me help with that," Henry spoke as he walk back over to thie spot and kneel down besides his bag as he pulled out his mayhaw wand. The third year stood back up to his feet and took the remaining steps back over toward Scarlet as he pointed the tip of his wand at her shins and below as he softly whispered, "ventus," a steady stream of wind blew toward Scarlet legs drying her off. The teen nodded toward his handy work as he looked up at Scarlet and asked" is that better?" The third year would wait for her reply as he cast the wind charm at his own legs to dry them off before taking a few steps over to his bag and slipping the wand back inside.
Loki watched as the teen got back to his feet again and turned to hear Scarlet's question, his blue eyes examining the juice in her hand as he nodded with a soft smile and spoke" sure, thank you," Henry gently took the juice bottle from her and screwed the top off as he took rather a long slip, draining half the bottle.
The teen screwed the top back on when he heard Scarlet's words and aimed his blue gaze for her own brown one as he softly smiled in agreement and spoke" I guess the same but good thing we got them all," the third year couldn't exactly be sure if their condition was the reason that they managed to grab all the papers before they reached the water. The teen never was able to fully explore his abilities as a werewolf in wolf form or human form, he still wasn't so he still tended to fear the wolf side of him.
The third year retook his seat, placing the half full juice next to his bag as Loki rubbed against his legs before going over to rub against Scarlet's legs then retake his own seat.
The teen listened to Scarlet's words, agreeing with them as he spoke" I don't really know anything about you either but now seems like a good time for us to change that," the teen's blue graze looking at Scarlet as he softly smiled at her and listened to her words.
Henry smiled softly at Scarlet, thinking about his answer to her question for a moment before answering" I was born in godric hollow but lived in Liverpool for the past few years. However last summer I moved back to godric hollow with my father and step family, " the teen took a breath and then look over at Scarlet as he asked" what about you? Where are you from?" The tern would wait for a moment then realize that Scarlet might have not know about his family before he mentioned them before, the third year no longer minded his step family especially after meeting his birth mum's brother over the summer and rather enjoyed his step family, especially having Rose as a sister now.
"uh what about families? Tell me about yours and I'll tell you about mine, perhaps?"

Hello Again!
Scarlet didn't quite know what to expect when Henry offered to help out, at first she thought he might pull out a towel from his bag, she would have been pretty impressed if he had been that prepared, but instead he withdrew his wand. From it's tip, a strong gust of wind was directed towards her legs, it did go a good way to drying her off a bit. She felt where her socks had previously been soaking wet, and smiled as she realised the spell had almost completely dried her socks, "that's pretty good, thanks," she said, looking up to Henry, "going to need to learn that one."
As Henry took a drink from the bottle she had given him, Scarlet opened her own and drank about half of it's fruity contents, replacing the bottle cap after she had done so. Her own bottle was apple juice, one of her favourite flavours, and she was happy that it had kept slightly cool.
Scarlet was glad that Henry was happy to open up a bit more about himself, as she would to him, she figured that with them both running the club, they would be seeing more of each other anyway this year.
Scarlet was familiar with both of the places Henry mentioned, one more than the other, "that's far south isn't it? Godric's Hollow?" Scarlet asked, she was pretty sure it was somewhere west of where she lived. "Where about is Liverpool, I've heard the name a few times in stations, not sure where it is though," she added. Scarlet was curious as to why he and his family had moved back, or why they had moved away in the first place, but she kept those questions too herself for now.
"I was born in London, in this area called Greenwich, it was pretty cool, me and my mum used to visit loads of different parks, like one every weekend almost," she said, thinking back to the numerous trips the two had made. "We moved out of the city when I was six I think, now we live within New Forest, it's this district of basically forest," she said, though decided to go into a bit more detail. "It's still down south, I think there's small villages dotted about, but our house is pretty far from them," she explained, though living where he did, Henry might have known where she was talking about.
As she felt was the case with Henry, her own story about where she had lived, and specifically the move, was a result of family, and so she was kind of expecting his follow up question. "Well," she began, thinking of where best to start, "I'm a pureblood, not sure if you knew that, my mum's family are pretty serious into the whole pureblood thing, my parent's aren't though," she started, "when we moved, we did it to be nearer by uncle, on my dad's side, he's a werewolf," she said before pausing, he was the first person she had told about her uncle, but given that Henry was also a werewolf, it didn't feel like as big of a deal to tell him.
"I've got a cousin that lives in France with his parents, he goes to Beauxbatons, where my mum went actually, he's the same age as me, which is pretty cool," she continued, "so, that's the basics of my family, anything pique your interest?" she asked, realising she had only skimmed the surface of information about them.
"What about you?" Scarlet asked, "anything you want to share," she asked with a smile, hoping she could here about his own family now.

"It comes in handy, I can teach you it sometime if you like, " Henry replied to Scarlet as he slipped his mayhaw wand back inside his bag and retook his seat on the ground.
Loki sat up between the to students, meaner eyes watching them drink juice bottles then talk about the places they lived and their family.
"A bit, yeah but it gets it fair share of snow during the winter months so," Henry explained softly smiling as flashes memories of godric hollow flowed through his mind. The third year haven't known what to thunk about moving back to the place over the summer holiday but now is glad that he did.
Henry listened to Scarlet's questions on Liverpool, the teen offered her a soft smile as he spoke"a city a rather north in london, we lived in a townhouse there for around 2 or so years," the teen wasn't quite sure about the years but it was close to that amount of time or perhaps longer. Henry listened to Scarlet talk about where she was born and lived, recognizing the city Greenwich since he seen it at the station and occasionally traveled there when he lived in Liverpool. However the teen was vaguely familiar with New Forest and was curious about the place, wondering if there were any books about it.
"New Forest? I don't think I heard if it but is it nice there," Henry question Scarlet as offered a soft smile and the conversation continued on this time about families. The third year listened to her, he nodded to her words on her pureblood family and moving to be closer to her werewolf uncle.
Wait? She has a uncle whose a werewolf? Could that mean... no he couldn't be the one unless?
Henry remained silent, listening to Scarlet talk about her beauxbatons cousin in France then asked if he had any question in which the boy spoke" Do you have any siblings and did you go through the transformations with your uncle?" Henry smiled toward her then moved his blue gaze to Loki who sat between them before looking beyond at the rippling waters of the great lake.
Smiling softly as he turned back to Scarlet and spoke" well I'm a pureblood to not that blood matters, my father's family are strict purebloods and we nearly never see them. I never met my mum's family, only her younger brother over the summer holiday," the teen took a break reflecting on his words before continuing" I have a twin sister whose missing and a elder brother whose an auror. My father works in the department and regulations of family creatures and I live with him, my five step siblings, and stepmother. Uh any questions?" Henry laughed at the end a bit before he stopped and offered the girl a soft smile, it was a summary of his life but he couldn't include the reasons for the multiple moves since the included a painful memory and the story behind how he became a werewolf.

Hello Again!
"Yeah, it's really nice, was quite the change when we moved there from the city, but I love it now," from what she knew about Henry already, she was pretty sure it would be the kind of place he would like, "and I mean, before my parents told me that's where we were going to be moving to, I hadn't heard of it before, it's definitely not a busy populated city like London or Liverpool."
Scarlet remembered asking her parents, many times, when she was younger, if she was ever going to get a brother or sister, she never got back a straight yes or no answer, it was always a ‘who knows what the future holds,’ or ‘only time will tell,’ - that sort of stuff. She soon came to understand these sorts of answers often meant no, or at least probably not.
“Nope. No siblings.” she replied, this being a stark contrast to what she would learn about Henry’s family, “so your family’s pretty big then, are you close?” she asked. She figured, compared to the average, the size of her family would be considered pretty average, there were lots of relatives from her mother’s side that was a part of her life, but that compensated for the lack of them on her father’s side.
“Yeah, my uncle’s been with me through all my transformations,” she replied, “I guess that’s the positive side of having another werewolf in the family, someone to help you out, especially in the beginning.” Scarlet realised when she got to Hogwarts and spoke with a couple of the other werewolf’s during the long nights of a full moon, that this wasn’t a common thing to have experienced, “aside from the one that changed you,” she began to ask, skirting around asking for the details of how he was bitten, “did you ever come across any other werewolves before coming to Hogwarts?” she asked.
“Disagreements over blood status? Or at least the importance of them?” she questioned, following on from what Henry had said, “I get it,” she said, referring back to what she had previously said about some members of her family. From what he had said she supposed it must be more common than she thought for there to be disagreements throughout families over beliefs on blood status, so much so that there are some members of his family that he rarely sees.
“Can’t think of any more,” she answered, unable to think of questions other than those she had already asked, she felt she do had done enough digging for their first proper conversation, “I think you’ve converted pretty much everything. What about you, any questions for me?” she asked in a similar manner, like him, she too had not digressed the details of how she was bitten, and he hadn’t really asked too much opacity her uncle - she was happy that for now, he had saved that topic for another day.

Mentioning:
Henry listened to Scarlet talk about moving, the lad knew the challenges and struggles that came with moving places but couldn't understand moving from a city to the forest but tried to imagine. Henry tried to imagine New Forest, if it was forest filled with animals and away from people it must be nice.
"New Forest sounds nice, the quiet and isolation sounds peaceful and brilliant," Henry replied as the conversation continued onto families and siblings. The teen had a small family for years, it was his life and knowing little about his parents family but now it's strange that he has a large family. A step family.
Henry nodded toward Scarlet commenr about having no siblings, the thought sounded strange to him. What would his life be if he was a only child? If he didn't have a brother or twin? Would his mum still be alive or would he still be a werewolf?
Turning toward Scarlet, Henry smiled and softly spoke" I'm close with my elder brother, he's a auror but not much with my father or step family," Henry had his special bond with his brother, their seecert conversations and constant owls. The two told each other everything and were always there for each other. However, he wasn't that close with his father or step mother or step siblings... besides one or two of his step siblings.
Henry listened to Scarlet talk about her uncle, questions brewing inside his mind but choosing not to ask them then as he softly spoke" that sounds nice, your lucky to have each other," smiling toward Scarlet, the thought of spending the night with another wolf sounded nice but the lad never experienced it himself and couldn't understand. He wondered if they remained locked up together... spending the solitude of the night together.
"Besides from hogwarts, no."
Henry replied the teen never met another werewolf besides from the duo on that faithful night. The teen doesn't know if he met another during the day, but for the night of the full moon he never met or experienced the transformation with another wolf. Besides from at Hogwarts.
Henry nodded toward Scarlet questions, they both seem to understand when it came to blood status and families. They may not have any prejudices or care about blood status but their families did, the lad thought less experienced those problems before Hogwarts not realizing that it was so common.
The conversation started to end, Henry nodded toward Scarlet's words taking a moment before speaking" no questions either, would you like to head back toward the common room together?" The teen was glad that Scarlet agreed, smiling a little as he got up and started to walk back to the castle with the fellow wolf. Engaging in light conversation as they walked, Henry smiled over at Scarlet. At his friend. His fellow wolf. His packmate.
