Take Me to the Lake
@Taking his pet Rascal out to the Lake for some fresh air and soon to meet @Işık Seya
On his Wizard Radio, the Wizarding Wireless Network declared that in the Highland Council area (the area of the Scottish Highlands where Hogwarts was located) that the temperature for that particular Monday would be a high of 66°F and would rain later that evening. Right now, it was probably about ten degrees lower than the high and Simon had been finishing up some of his coursework that would be due the next day, often being distracted by the gray rat that flipped around in its little hammock, agitated as if he was the one trying to complete this assignment for Transfigurations.
"Alright, alright, I get it man. You haven't been out of these castle walls for a few days and I'm sorry. We'll go out and we'll go right now, alright?" he said to the rat as he stood up from his desk-space and left his open book and assignment there to be abandoned.
Simon gathered up some things into his satchel and then picked up Rascal, placing him in the homemade pocket on the outside and off they went. As he got outside, despite the upcoming rain bringing in heavy clouds, he pulled up the hood of his sweatshirt as he made his way down the path to where the Great Lake was. That seemed to be one of Rascal's favorite places to be.
Once there, he pulled out a series of books from his bag and placed them around, creating a sort of open fencing for the rat to stay in the middle of. Rascal always enjoyed this, as he could breathe in the fresh air and the smells of the outdoors but still be safe and secure from any potential harm.

Işık had finally finished her homework. It had been a week or two since he'd been here, but he hadn't thought there would be this much homework. She looked at the air. It looked like it was going to rain soon.@Simon Kincaid
She put on her hoodie. But the archery tournament wrote this. So he thought I should practice.
She threw his bow and arrow on her back. She grabbed his bag and left the common room. She considered going to the Black Lake. Because the best weather was there, according to him.
When she came to Black Lake, she found a tree stump somewhere nearby. She opened his bag and put inside a beverage can, apples and pears. It's not like an arrow board, but it'll do, Işık thought.
She pulled away a little, tidied up her hair, and aimed it at the box Işık. She flexed his bow and fired his arrow. She hit the target at exactly twelve. Thinking that I am not rusty, Işık rejoiced.
At that moment, Işık was distracted when he heard a mouse squeak. She took his bag. She flexed her arrow on the way to the direction the voice came from. In case anything happens. Looking where the sound came from, there was a mouse, and around it was a fence of books. Işık looked at the mouse with pity. She bent down to pick up the books that formed the fence. She put her arrow down.

Introductions with @Işık Seya
Simon was involved with one of his songs, his one notebook opened where his quill glided along the parchment as he had some clarity in one part. He was eager to get back to the Rehearsal Room where he could play it along the piano keys when he heard one of the books nearby drop and glanced up to see the girl there next to his rat.
"No, no, please don't move that," he said as he lowered the notebook and set it on the ground before joining them. "The books create a fence so he doesn't scurry off. I'm afraid one of the school owls or something worse will get him. That keeps him close but he can still enjoy the fresh air."
Taking notice now of his surroundings now that he wasn't in a musical fog, he noticed the arrows and the quiver and so forth. Archery always seemed rather fascinating to him and he knew that Hogwarts even had an Archery Club but since it met outdoors, he decided it best not to partake in it. Not all days within the Scottish Highlands were cloudy days and it just might not be worth the risk to the dhampir boy.
"I'm Simon. Simon Kincaid. That's my rat Rascal."

Işık was startled when he heard the sound. She pointed the arrow beside him in the direction of the sound. She looked a little closer and saw that it was a boy, and slowly lowered it.@Simon Kincaid
"Then I'm sorry. But if a bird of prey comes this thing might not work. Let me tell you."
When the Işık looked up, she saw that the clouds were getting darker. It was going to be torrential as she knew it from Ireland. As the boy began to speak, she turned his attention back to her.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Işık. Işık Seya. You have a very sweet mouse. Which building are you in?"
The Işık was too excited. She was disgusted with himself, thinking that she was making it seem too much.
"Do you have pumpkin juice with you? I knew I forgot something."
The Işık was hungry. And she wanted to eat the guinness cake. The one that went best was the pumpkin juice. Realizing that something is wrong, Işık turns to Simon.
"Would you like to eat a Guinness cake? It goes best with pumpkin juice."
She waited for Simon's answer as she took out the cake. Okay, she might have been too hungry, but she knew the taste of your mouth.

Passing on the sweets with @Işık Seya
"I wouldn't let a bird of prey get hold of Rascal," he said of his rat. Now granted, those birds could be pretty quick and he never had to test it but he was pretty sure his dhampir quick reflexes could save his pet if needed. Besides, if something like a car accident wasn't going to be the end of Rascal Mackenzie Kincaid, surely a bird-of-prey attack wouldn't be his end.
"I'm in Hufflepuff," he said with a smile. Simon was proud of that. The hat had not one bit of hesitation when placing him into his house and he viewed it as one of great honor. Hufflepuff was the best, no matter what the other houses thought. They were sometimes in denial.
She asked about whether or not he had pumpkin juice with him but Simon tilted his head. While it was a pretty famous drink there at Hogwarts and probably within the wizarding world, he had never tried it. "Uh, I've got some water," he said, "and you're welcome to it if you'd like." She apparently wasn't just hungry but thirsty as well and ready to have some cake she had with her. He could pass on that just like the pumpkin juice as it wasn't his thing.
"What about you? What house are you in and do you feel it was the right choice?"

Işık felt very good when she saw Simom protecting the animal. Once she got her pet, she promised herself that she would protect it like this.
The lack of Işık pumpkin juice upset her a little, but she barely managed to show it.
Işık opened the bag and took the cake out of the storage container. She handed one to Simon.
"I'm Slytherin and I think I'm in the right building. Hufflepuff."
The Işık was taken aback, but tried not to show it. She loved all the buildings, but Hufflepuff seemed different to him.
"So what are your hobbies?"
The Işık took the arrow in her hand and fixed it and threw the arrow. She came to the tree opposite.
She walked towards the opposite tree and pulled the arrow out of the tree. When she came back, she turned to Simon and asked:
"Do you know how to use an arrow? Would you like to learn even if you didn't know?"
Işık had wondered if she had known how to use an arrow since she was little, she thought.
When the Işık took a closer look at the boy, she sensed something strange for some reason, but as the air began to close, she thought she had seen it wrong.
