Getting to Know You
Lorelai needed some fresh air, and as she didn't currently have any classes to attend, she decided the school grounds would be a good place to be. She breathed in the fresh air, feeling relaxed. Hogwarts seemed chaotic at times, but now it felt just perfect. I
t was free of pollution, unlike her home city of London. It was a beautiful day out, the sky blue and clear, a warm temperature, and a slight breeze. She had started to regularly come outside on times where she didn't have plans. It was therapeutic.
She sat cross-legged, leaning her elbows on her thighs, with her chin resting in her palms. Her eyes looked out at nothing in particular, just taking in the green scenery before her. She had been outside for at least forty five minutes and planned on going back into the castle in a few moments when she heard footsteps. She turned her head around to see Verla, a girl who Lorelai had already encountered a few other times.
"Hey, Verla. How's it going?"She asked, making room on the grass for the other girl to join her if that's what she wanted. The Hufflepuff always seemed very nice, but they never got a chance to really talk. And she didn't even think they had met alone together before. Maybe this day would prove to be a good experience.

"I'm great! How about you?" Verla said as she took in a deep breath of fresh air. She wished she could go home. She hoped that her friends rosie and howie didnt worry so much about her. She was quite alright now that she had no family to go home to. Maybe she could stay with her sister lillian. Though it looked like she went home, she hadnt seen her sister in a long while.
She missed lorlai though and was excited to see her sincr she hadn't seen her in a while. Oliver, her bowtruckle, poked his head out of the back on her robe and smiled at the girl happily. He said hi in his high pitch voice and introduced himself as Ollie. Verla smiled at his word progress. Verla was glad about being aquantances with Lorelai. She was a nice lass and wanted to get to know her. "I'm going to be learning how to speak french, Lucien Escanora is going to teach me, he gave me an apologetic rose, a white rose! That's so sweet of him isn't it?" She smiled as she took it out and smelled it one more time before putting it back in her bag.
OOC: sorry for the long reply.

Getting to Know You
“I’m doing pretty well, thanks for asking,”Lorelai responded, offering a smile to the Hufflepuff. She waved to Ollie, the cute little bowtruckle that Verla carried with her, who just greeted her. She remembered that Lake, the bowtruckle that Verla had left with her was currently asleep on her pillow in her dormitory. Lake always seemed the happiest when he was left to his own devices, even if that meant he got into trouble a lot. But in the end, he always returned unscathed, so it wasn't so big of a deal.
The girl noticeably lit up when Verla said she was being taught French (by a student she didn't recognize the name of) and showed a beautiful white rose. “Oh, that’s such a pretty rose! And it's cool you’re learning French. If you ever want help I speak French as well. It’s quite literally my first language.” Lorelai had always been thankful her mother made her learn her native language. It was good for saying stuff to peoples faces without them understanding it, something she often took advantage of. She was considering learning another language as well, although she hadn’t decided on which one. Or figure out how she was going to learn it.

Verla smiled and Lorelai, she remembered of them gossiping together as they spoke in the ballroom. She was excited to get to know the girl a bit more than she already did, which wasn't much.
"I didn't know, and actually the lessons have been delayed for whatever reason." She didn't know what else to say to that. She just smiled and looked behind her and stared in deep thought. She thought of her little sister, her parents, her friends, Rosie and Howie. Ever since her parents didn't want her, she has been expanding her own family through friends of fellow Hufflepuffs.
She was happy she had her friends, and they were there to support her and make her happy and make her feel like she wasn't the only one with issues.
She looked back at Lorelai and smiled again, brightly this time. She didn't pay attention if the girl was talking or not, but if she was, she hoped she didn't ask a question. Verla sat down on a bench near the lake and crossed her legs as she sat properly. She hoped her lessons would get back on track. She was excited to learn French, she always had wanted to go to Paris, and it was nice to know how they spoke.

Took me forever to reply and I'm sorry, my fault.

Lorelai nodded. "Well if you ever need at help, je suis à votre service!"She explained, doing a comical exaggerated bow with a smile on her face. She wasn't how long along Verla was in French, so she wasn't sure she understood but the phrase wasn't so far off from English. So she assumed the girl got the point.
Verla seemed to be deep. in thought, and Lorelai was unsure what to say, if anything. She wasn't always the best at finding new conversation topics. "So...Is there a reason you're learning French? I'm just curious. I think I want to learn a third language but I haven't decided on one yet. I'm thinking maybe Spanish? I mean it's pretty, and it's supposed to be relatively easy to learn. Or Latin? Not many practical uses to it but it'll help with school. Basically all the spells and whatnot have Latin roots."
Lorelai quieted as soon as she realized that she had been rambling on and on, to at the very least give the Hufflepuff a chance to catch up with what she was saying. Lorelai shifted in her seated position on the grass. Glancing back at Verla waiting for a reply, before gazing back into the lake.

"I could teach you Scottish Gaelic, if you want too, I'd have to remember how my mother taught me. But Spanish is cool too, and I suppose that's true. I'm not very far in French, maybe you could give me some lessons too! That would be fun I think." Verla nodded and curled herself into a ball and rested her chin on her knees, starring out into the open water. She smiled as she thought of Lucien teaching her French, though he hadn't had one session with her yet, but she though it'd still be cool to learn it.
Verla sighed as she thought of how her mother taught her. She smiled as she thought of her beautiful mother. She missed her, and wished she hadn't given her away. She felt bad, and slowly began to show that she was getting sad, though she tried to fight and hide it, she didn't succeed.
She didn't want to make Lorelai uncomfortable so she sat crisscross and looked down and the ground. She felt bad if she did make her friend uncomfortable, or maybe she didn't, she didn't know. All she knew was that she felt bad, and Oliver was there to comfort her as he always was, but maybe now she had an actual human to comfort her perhaps. She tried her hardest not to show her sadness, so she shook her head and got her parents out of her thoughts.
