As the 12 year old Ravenclaw girl pulled up her hair into a neat and shiny bun behind her head she smiled, today she didlook pretty, normally she would not have cared, she would have pulled her hair up into a messy pony, pulled on her school robes and been done, yet today she was actully nice looking, the nice Bun had changed the girl's nor ally bland looks into something nicer, nothing special, she knew she was just as pretty as the other girls her age, yet knowing that she might have been a step closer to being like her eldest sister -Belle- made her heart leap.
She picked up her books and other things, things she was planning on dropping off near the Slytherin common room door, for her sister, even if her Sister refused to talk Clair was still going to try to befriend her again. Clair's hands were full, too full maybe. As she hurried down the corridors unable to see where she was heading, she only had to hope that no one else would be hurrying down the corridors in the other direction.
Stopping for a moment she rearranged her hands, so that she had a better grip on her things, the basket hanging from her arms carried sweets that her Mum and sent, along with some books Clair had found that she knew Izzy would not be able to resist, she had then left a note that said "To Izzy Fernandez, from Clair.
In her arms she held some other things, mostly books, which were blocking her view, it was not a good idea to rush through the corridors at such a fast speed, and she should have realized that, but she had not even thought of that....

Well, Simon had planned to go the Owlery to send some letters to some of his friends and mother, but he had spilt black ink all over his robes, so he grabbed the first clothes that he found and threw them on. Then he had to go get some new ink from his trunk, which made him worry that he was going to be late for his next class. Great, great, great.
Simon burst out of the classroom and entered the corridors, bag strap slung over his shoulder. His back ached from sitting for too long, and even though he had stretched, it still felt cramped. He rubbed his back and groaned a bit. Maybe he should go to a chiropractor when summer came.
Simon sped up, efficiently dodging all the other students. He had a close encounter with one of them, who groaned very loudly. He looked behind him to roll his eyes at them when-
Wham!
He smacked straight into a girl who was also holding books in front of her face, causing him to fall on his back painfully. Why did he have to be so tiny?? First the shelves incident and now this. Now his back hurt even more.
"Ow! What the f-" he yelled, but then stopped mid-sentence.
Because she was really pretty.
Now, usually this would not be a factor on why he decided to stop. Ugly or pretty, if someone was annoying, they were annoying. Looks wouldn't change that.
But he felt his cheeks heat up like it was his fault, which it obviously wasn't. He stood up and brushed himself off and said in a tiny voice. "uh, hi...sorry?"
Wow! That was his response? He probably looked like such an idiot right now. He took a deep breath and eventually regained his composure. He held out a hand and said. "Name's Simon. Do you want me to help you carry your books?"
When he offered his hand, he felt something wet underneath his armpit and found that the ink glass had broken inside his bag. He stared at it and just let out a quiet, defeated sigh.
"Guess that i'll have to owl my mum for another. Dang it." He swept his hair out of his eyes.

When the boy ran into her and was about swear at her Clair had a shape reply sitting at the tip of her tongue, ready to sharply retort at the rude boy who had just bumped into her and then been about to swear at her, but he had stopped, just as his moth had started to say F...
Clair's books had fallen over and she could see his face, and he would be able to see her's too, her mouth formed a line at bent up at each corner, in a prim frown, mixed with a small smile.
"You should most likely know; I hate it when people swear at me, so i suggest you don't try it again." Her voice was neither friendly nor cold.
When he said sorry Clair was surprised "You by-polar? I mean you were about to swear, and now your says sorry? Geez man"
She looked at him with shock, "Simon? Like Simon Kincaid?" She sputtered, if this was Simon Kincaid then he was very very sick, Kincaid would never swear at her.
"I'm Clair. Clair Fernandez, first year, Ravenclaw." She thought about giving him her hand, to shake. But it seemed that this boy might kiss her hand instead! So she kept her hand at her side,
she looked at him, her heart fluttered a bit, did he just ask to carry her books?
"well...what house are you in? I'm going to the Slytherin's to leave this at the door, for my sister, if you are a Snake, then maybe you could pass this on to her?"
Then she seen his armpit, "Well i can't fix that. But where is the bottle? I can fix that." She pulled out her wand, if the boy showed her the bottle, she would repair it with a simple spell, if he did not then she would simply place her wand back in her pocket.

#643c96Well, now this was perfect. He probably was going to be late and his back hurt more than it before. That was just
"You should most likely know; I hate it when people swear at me, so I suggest you don't try it again."
"Sorry, i was mad." he apologized again, trying to smile but just feeling embarrassed.
When the girl asked him if he was bipolar, he shook his head and said with an air of unintentional annoyance, "Well, i'm pretty sure anyone would swear if they were bumped into. Especially if they were knocked into the ground." Reminded of his back pain, he rubbed his back. "Ouch. I think i'll need a back brace for life." he joked.
When Simon introduced himself, the girl looked surprised. "Simon? Like Simon Kincaid?"
"No, no, no. Simon Corbin. First year, as you probably could tell." He had seen Simon Kincaid around before and knew that he was known for being a kind person. He never talked to him before, at least not directly. "We don't even look alike. He's way taller than me and my hair is black, not blonde." And as far as he knew, him and Simon K. didn't act alike either.
The girl introduced herself as Clair(e?) Fernandez, but didn't accept his handshake. Simon awkwardly dropped their hand back to their side. his cheeks red again. "Um, oh. Is that spelt C-L-A-I-R-E or C-L-A-I-R?"
"Well...what house are you in? I'm going to the Slytherin's to leave this at the door, for my sister. If you are a Snake, then maybe you could pass this on to her?"
"No. sorry, I'm in Gryffindor. I was going to the Owlery to send some letters."
He opened his bag to see that everything was soaked in ink. Nice, cool, great. Now he needed to buy a new bag and books."
When Clair? Claire? offered to fix his ink bottle, he handed him his bag. "Thanks! What House are you in?" Simon gathered Clair's books. "Here. take half. It seemed like you had a lot of books on you."

"could not tell" she muttered sarcastically in reply to the boy's excuse of his anger.
She thought for a moment "Not everyone, i would not, only some one who had no filter or streight to bite their tongue would." She was being hard on the poor Gryffindor, she had no idea if something was happening in his life or not to make him that way, but she did not trust that fluttery feeling in her heart, for all she knew it could be a warning that the boy was about to hurt her.
"Have you hurt your back before? Why not go to the hospital wing and get it better? They do have magic for it." She shrugged, maybe Simon was Muggle born, like her. He might not think about things such as that.
"Aaah, Mr. Corbin, do you know Simon Kincaid? He is very nice, came to my farm over the winter break, it was very nice" she looked at him, "No you don't look alike, silly of me to ask! Sorry" she smiled a bit, she straightened "Clair, spelled C L A I R, no E."
She shrugged, well he was honest at least, "Ok, well, I must be off then." She took all the books, moving them so she could see, "I'm fine, i can carry the books myself." Her voice was kinder now, "I don't want to hold you up or anything, good day"
She shifted the basket, and took a few steps "I'm in Ravenclaw" she said realizing she had not answered him yet "Sorry I did not mean to be rude by not replying." She said, smiling, her heart fluttering like crazy.

#643c96"Not everyone. I would not, only someone who had no filter or straight to bite their tongue would."
Simon held up his hands like he was surrendering. "Okay, okay! Sorry, miss, but please cut me a break."
When Claire suggested going to the hospital wing. Simon paused and then said, "Oh. Didn't think of that." He scratched his neck. "Thanks for the suggestion." It seemed pretty obvious now that she mentioned it. It was like he'd lost his ability to think around this girl.
"I've seen him around, but i never really talked to him."
When Clair mentioned that she had a farm, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Ooh! I'd love to live on a farm. He does sound nice. Maybe i should talk to him more."
When Clair smiled. he felt his face heat up, and he rubbed his cheeks nervously.
"Clair, spelled C L A I R, no E." she said, and Simon made a mental note of her name. "Okay, i'll keep that in mind."
When she denied his request, Simon smiled. "Are you sure? I could get you a bag from my trunk. I have lots." Simon was sure that she could carry the books herself, but he didn't really want to leave so early. That would be disappointing. "I have lots of time." he said, not really believing himself- he was running because he thought he was going to be late. On the other hand. delivering letters could wait. Besides, he would be wasting ink if he delivered one letter every day. His mom was probably crowded with letters daily.
"Oh, it's fine! You're not rude at all." Simon assured Clair. "No need to worry."

She smirked "Haha! I won" Simon had now met the girl's competitive side, she was not one to loose something willingly.
"No problem, you muggle born? I am." Maybe to much info, if this boy was a male version of Hildegard then Clair should not have told him, but for some reason she trusted him, for better or worse.
Clair smiled "he's really great, if you need a amazing friend, befriend him, just don't make him think your a hag" she meant it as a joke, but.... Well if Simon did not take it as a joke then Clair might scare him, which she did not want to do.
She smiled at Simon, everyone needed a smile, even if they made her heart flutter in that odd way, maybe that feeling was good?
She shook the thought away, Simon was saying something.
"Oh? Everyone says that, they grin and say they'd love to live on a farm, but i think that they mean that they'd love the cute baby sheep and fluffy ducks, I don't think they think about the 5 am mornings, chores no matter the weather, I love it, but not everyone does, you know?"
Clair's heart did a flip flop when Simon touched his cheek, that was so cute! She smiled again, if she was one to blush she might have, lucky for her; she was not one to blush.
Bags? "Umm, I think I'll be good, but.... Could you take a few books please?" She knew very well that She could carry everything, she had done it everyday, for a while now, but part of her wanted to spend more time with him, "If your not busy, I mean you might have a class or something...." She finished awkwardly, looking at the ground.
She felt sure that Simon could hear her heart pounding in her chest.

#643c96He couldn't help but smile at the girl's playful remark. "Fine, now you win. Maybe next time..." He stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"I'm a half-blood." he answered her. He didn't really know much about Muggle-Borns, or the wizarding world in general apart from some bits and pieces that his father had given him, and of course, his time at Hogwarts. All he knew was that they were kids born in Muggle families who somehow got magic without inheritance. That was pretty cool, in his opinion.
"Me? A hag? Never!" he said in a mock offended tone. "Who would even think that?" He giggled a bit. "Sounds easy enough. How long have you known him?"
"Oh? Everyone says that, they grin and say they'd love to live on a farm, but i think that they mean that they'd love the cute baby sheep and fluffy duck. I don't think they think about the 5 am mornings, chores no matter the weather, I love it, but not everyone does, you know?"
"I could probably handle it." he joked. "Sounds like a lot of hard work, so it's pretty admirable of you." he added sincerely.
Simon dropped his hands from his cheeks nervously when she saw her stare. "Sorry." he said, even though there was nothing for him to apologize for!
When Clair accepted his request to help her, he grinned. "Great!" he said brightly, feeling happier about her accepting then he should be. "No, no, no, I'm not busy. What are your classes?"

"Halfblood? Cool, Magic is very neat, it pops up in people, even if they are not from purely magic families, honestly if it were that why, I'd be a boring muggle." She thought for a moment. Magic was..... Well magical!
She laughed, "It's a long story, just ask Kit Paine if you really want to know, man i thought he would get expelled for that!" By He; she meant Simon Kincaid.
"uuum, four months? Maybe five."
She grinned "Everyone also says that, you'll think it's great. Until two days later when you can't walk because your in pain, and with your back" she pointed at him " i bet you would be in major pain day two"
This was not meant to be mean, just meant to be the truth, the truth could some times hurt.
Clair looked at him, "What? Did you fart or something? Why did you say sorry? Normally you would say excuse me when you fart, if you were using manners" well if Simon had farted Clair smelled nothing so she stayed were she stood,
"That's good, Ummmm, my classes? Let me think, Charms, which by the way is the best class in my opinion, Transfiguration, Defense against the dark arts, potions, Flying, another great class, History of Magic, Herbology, Astromany, and then i do any pop up classes that I'm allowed to take." She paused, "What classes are you in?" Her heart thumped in her chest, dancing around for some reason, that Clair had yet to figure out.

"Well' its good that you aren't. I wouldn't have talked to you otherwise." he said, ignoring the red in his cheeks as he said so, which was odd considering he'd never had an issue with complimenting others before- usually it was the receiver turning red.
"Great, now you've made me curious. Maybe i'll ask him, i don't know." He probably would just ask Simon K. if he ever met him and if it wasn't a touchy subject. I mean, they most have done something terrible to get Kincaid to think he's a hag and to almost be expelled.
"Not nice. I have bones of steel," he said and groaned a bit from the back pain. "Fine. Bones of bronze. I should probably take a stop to the hospital wing." Simon probably wouldn't be able to walk properly anymore. He'd be a hunched old man by the time he's 20, which wasn't the life he wanted to live.
When Clair asked him the weird question, he felt his face heart up, which probably made it worse. "Uh, no? Why was that the first thing you thought of?" he said with a slight screech. "It was-it was because- well, it was not that!" They would never! That's disgusting and unhygienic.
"Charms, Astronomy, Potions, Transfiguration, Herbology... We have the same classes together! Awesome!" He felt the books slipping from his hands and used their knee to kick the books back to an acceptable height. "We could study together, if you wanted!" he beamed, feeling the butterflies in his stomach increase. "I can make us some snacks. I love baking."
