Why are You so Presumptuous?

Warlow walks quickly to the owlry, having their nose in the newest novel that they found. Without looking up they quickly rush up the stairs as they get a few steps in, they slam into someone, as they get their barrings together. They glance to see some gryffindor across from them, as warlow begins to stand up they notice a book and a letter. They grab both and offered it to them and said in a monotone voice, “here-“ After warlow hands the book and letter back, they dust off their uniform, “ You should really watch where your going, gryffindor, you could hurt someone like that.” Warlow said in a snooty tone of voice. “ You gryffindors, are always so careless it’s annoying, Okay?” Warlow starting to become more harsh in their tone. -Taking a deep breath- “ You what, this is to meaningless to be caring about, just be more careful.” Warlow said in a emotionless tone “ uh, bye” Warlow heads to check to see if they got any owls from their family. As they peer into the nook assigned to their name they see nothing. Their shoulders drop as they just stand there, a sigh is let out of their mouth as they turn to walk out of the owlry.

Mina blinks at the boys rudeness and shakes her head, turning around and looking at him and she watches him, a slight scowl on her face and she walks over, “Why don’t you watch where you’re going, Slytherin.”

She crosses her arm, a glare on her face, her warm brown eyes cold. If there was anything she hated most at HOgwarts, it was the house stereotypes. She looks the boy up and down, noting the rings that bedecked his fingers and her lip lifts in a sneer, “A typical Slytherin boy. Nasty and a jerk before getting to know someone.” She crosses her arms, she clearly was filling in the role of a short tempered Gryffindor at the moment, but she didn’t care.

She smirks at the boy, and leans on her left foot, even if her back was ram rod straight, and her features cool, she wouldn’t be a jerk right back. Or do her best to not be a jerk, even if she was being a jerk.

She tucks her book behind her back and along with her mothers letter. She was itching to open the book and read it, probably at the lake on the boulder she hod found.

“Well that’s a bit of Irony if you ask me, when you the person calling the jerk is also acting like one themself.”, Warlow states in a slightly hurt but amused tone. “Also not to mention, you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Who knows what I might be going through at the moment. Besides I’m not even a dude-“ Warlow said in a now monotone tone with a slight hint of sadness, Warlow proceeds to walk out of the owlry, with their head slightly down with their hand clinching their book that they were reading. Their breath sounding slightly shaking. Warlow slightly turns to the gryffindor. “By the way, just- just please learn not to be so presumptuous next time-“,Their voice sounding more hurt than anything. When their face looks dull/emotionless. “Uhm- bye i guess”, warlow turns away from the seemingly rude gryffindor, and starts to head out. (Warlow just tries the best they possibly could to not snap at the “mean” gryffindor but Warlow just walks away trying to leave the gryffindor alone and to not make the situation worse) Warlow starts to head out of the owlry and starts to go down the stairs learning to try and possibly avoid that gryffindor, so then They wont be tiraded by the gryffindor.

Mina blinks and smiles slightly, “I know it’s ironic, but hey, you were the one who was rude first. Serve it to me and I’ll serve it right back. I don’t judge books by their cover, I read the book. And how am I supposed to know you’re not a ‘dude’, I don’t even know you.” Mina watches the Slytherin person walk away and then turn around.

Mina huffs, “I am not the only presumptuous one here. You classified me just because I’m a Gryffindor.” She crosses her arms, “That wasn’t very nice, and I didn’t like it. So I was rude back. I’m sorry.” She sighs and sticks her hand out, “I’m Mina. Mina Starr.” She smiles at the person, trying to be warm and friendly.

She bites her lower lip, her mother had warned her about lashing out and what could happen, and Mina had lashed out at this. . . Person. She waits for the person to take her hand and shake it, trying to be polite ne see if she can turn this confrontation around and make it a positive one. She was trying to make more friends, not enemies. She wanted to have good memories of Hogwarts, not bad ones and she didn’t want any regrets.

Mina pauses, biting her lip, “Oh. . . Sorry. . .” She mumbles, looking at the ground. She hand’t meant to make a bad impression, it had just happened. Ugh. . . Why can I never just shut up and not run my stupid mouth? She looks up at then, meeting their gaze for a second before looking away.

Mina pauses, and the persons words interrupt her thoughts, ‘My name is Warlow. . . Warlow Indigo. She blinks and nods slightly, showing she was listening. She waits a second, watching him look down and her hand and then after a second, drops her hand, “Ohhh kayyy. . .” She mumbles to herself.

“Uhh. . . Yeah. . .” Mina says, slightly confused and watches as the person, Warlow, walks away. She tilts her hea dna then follows him out the door, looking down at the pacage in her hand and smiles. She would go to the lake, that sounded nice. Read no the rock she had found. The sound of the water always calmed her, and boy, she really needed the calming sounds.

She smiles and flips the book open in her hands and walks out of the Owlery and starts to read, dodging around other students going to the Owlery to retrieve their own mail without looking up. She huffs softly and walks past Warlow, going down the steps of the tower and goes outside.
