History in the Making
Taisia arrived to class quite early. History of Magic was her favourite class, and she liked her professor too. She didn't normally sit at a double desk, usually by herself, but today she felt like sitting next to someone. Next she got out a sheet of parchment for her notes and finally, her quill and a pot of dark blue ink. Other students had started to file in and she looked around, wondering if anyone would sit next to her. So far no one had, although she had seen a hufflepuff glance her way and two gryffindors glare at her for sitting at a double desk. However, the classroom wasn't full yet, and the professor hadn't arrived either. Taisia continued to look around the classroom and see if anyone didn't have a desk yet. More students filed in and took their seats, but still the one next to Taisia remained empty. The Professor walked in, just after another student entered. She was wearing blue and bronze robes- same as Taisia. She had blue eyes and short blonde hair. Taisia's fellow Ravenclaw seemed to glance around the room, before her eyes settled on the desk beside Taisia. The girl kept her head down as she walked over, and seated herself without saying anything. After the professor had greeted them and was sorting something out on his desk, Taisia turned to her.
"Hi, I'm Taisia!

Rani hurried to the classroom. She had History of Magic, a subject that really interested her. She was quite late, the other first years were already inside. Rani quickly made her way through the doorway, just before the professor behind her entered, and looked around the room. It was quite full: Most students were sitting in pairs, some alone. Her eyes fell on a desk where another student was sitting, also dressed in Ravenclaw robes just like her. The girl, who had wavy, blonde hair was sitting alone. But the thing that caught Rani's attention was her dark purple lipstick. She'd never seen anyone wear that colour. Rani hesitated for a moment, but then proceeded to walk over to the table, quietly sitting down on the chair next to the girl. She reached into her bag and took out her textbook, parchment, her favourite quill, and lastly ink. Once the professor had greeted the students and turned around to do something, the girl next to Rani turned towards her.
"Hi, I'm Taisia!"
Rani smiled, she had been planning to improve her social skills, and this was the perfect opportunity for her to practise. Maybe she would even make a new friend. "Hey, I'm Rani!" She said, quickly finishing up arranging her stuff on the desk. "Nice to meet you, Taisia." She held out her hand, waiting for the girl to shake it.

History in the Making
The girl smiled at Taisia- that was good.
"Hey, I'm Rani," she said in reply, sticking her hand out to shake. Taisia took it politely and they shook. As she started to speak again the Professor asked them all to take out their textbooks and read page 44 - 60. Taisia went to grab her History of Magic textbook, before realising she'd left it somewhere. Maybe, hopefully, her dorm room. There was no way she was going to ask for one though, she didn't want the teacher to think she was disorganised. He tapped the board and some notes he wanted them to write down appeared. Then he sat back at his desk and started grading something. Taisia turned to the girl, Rani, beside her.
"Is it okay if we could share your textbook? I think I left mine in my dorm."
She cringed at the fact she had to ask an almost-stranger to borrow their textbook.
"So what do you think of Hogwarts so far?"
Taisia looked at Rani as she asked her about hogwarts. She wondered what the girl's blood was- muggle-born, so she hadn't known anything about hogwarts? Or maybe she was a pureblood, and was judging Taisia right now.

The girls shook hands. Rani had a good feeling about this. She opened her textbook and went to page 44, as the professor told them to. She was about to start reading when Taisia started to speak to her.
"Is it okay if we could share your textbook? I think I left mine in my dorm." The girl seemed a little ashamed to ask her.
"Sure," Rani replied, smiling, as she shoved her textbook a little closer to the girl. "Here, you can read it, just let me know when I can turn the page." She looked at Taisia who opened her mouth again.
"So what do you think of Hogwarts so far?"
"I love it here! It's so much more exciting than at home. You see, no one in my family is a witch or wizard, as far as I know, so my parents are very proud of me. It feels so unreal." Rani quickly shut her mouth, realizing she might be oversharing a bit. The girl next to her had asked her what she thought of Hogwarts, not what her entire life story was. Rani looked at Taisia, wondering if her parents were also muggles. She'd heard of some pure-blood wizards hating muggle-borns.
"Um, what about you? Are you also the only witch in your family?" She asked as casual as possible.

Taisia let out a breath when Rani said yes. They were pretty much strangers so she wouldn't have judged the girl but still, she had been nervous. She was kind of leaving a bad impression.
Rani answered her question about hogwarts. So she was a muggle born.
"Um, what about you? Are you also the only witch in your family?" Rani asked.
Taisia thought the girl had changed her tone since talking about her family, but couldn't tell what it was now.
"No, I come from a long line of witches. Both of my parents are magic, my younger sister is magic, my grandparents are, and I think most of my great grandparents are. My sister is a squib and is the first one in years. I wish she was a witch. She's so smart and would have so many friends here! Plus, she's great with advice."
She fell into a lapse of silence, wondering if Rani would think she was trying to brag or prove some sort of point- of course she wasn't. She kept reading the page they were supposed to be on.
"What did your parents think about you being a witch? I've always wondered what happens."
She glanced at Rani.
