She quickly left the great hall and headed towards the dungeons. The dungeons looked a little scary. She walked quickly through the door of the classroom. The class was more normal.
Pandora looked around curiously. This was her first potions lesson at Hogwarts and her first lesson in school. She sat in one of the back rows. She looked at the other children who had come. It was obvious that they were excited.
What would her first potion be, or how would her first potion appear? She couldn't help but think about them. Would it look like in fantasy books? Should she bring out the book or bring the potion items? She just brought a book because it was her first potions class.
She quickly took out the parchment and the book from his bag and placed them on the table. Meanwhile, the other rows were a good time to look. Most people were sitting with their friend.
She wondered if someone would sit next to me, but it was only the beginning of the year and she had made some pretty good friends. She couldn't help wondering if it was obvious that I had pale skin. Drowned in her thoughts

[263 words]Jay found it ironic that, well, everything you did one the first was the first thing you did at the school. The first walk, the first yawn, the first class. But of course, he had missed the first breakfast of the semester, instead he slept in. Of course he would be the one to roll out of bed ten minutes before class and rush down before even brushing his own hair, which was sticking up at the end and a wreck. Not the best first impression for his teachers, but the Gryffindor didn't honestly care. He just hoped his friend was in the same Potions class as him.
Looking around the classroom that took way too long to get to from the dorms in Gryffindor Tower, he sighed. Most seats were taken, plus his best friend wasn't here. Trying to smooth out his hair which seemed like it had a mind of its own, he sat down next to an odd looking Ravenclaw. Again, a feeble attempt at fixing his hair, and he turned to her. She was already pulling out materials for class, which reminded him to pull out a tattered notebook and his other stuff for the class.
"So.. I'm Divus." He said nonchalantly, giving her his last name. He had heard most use last names instead of first names, and so he leaned into that norm. "Jay Divus. Who might you be, amiga?" Jay perked up a bit, offering his hand for her to shake. His grip was firm, but not tight enough to hurt someone shaking his hand.

Pandora had left with one of her thoughts sitting next to her. Judging by his robes, he was a Gryffindor. He said something but she didn't understand. But from his behavior, she knew he had given her his last name. She introduced herself with a smile.
"Nice to meet you Divus. My name is Pandora Smith. But my friends call me Dora."
Pandora hesitated a little, but squeezed the boy's hand with the one that was too cold. Jay's grip was tight, but she had to admit he liked it. She liked the warmth entering her body.
She couldn't help herself. And, out of curiosity, she asked.
"What does amiga mean? Is it a foreign word? Are you foreign? Where did you come from?"
She spoke a little too fast and out of place. Pandora understood this and stopped. Then she reminded herself that she was a foreigner too.
"What do you think about Hogwarts? Fascinating don't you think?"
Saying this, she experienced a distinct burst of energy. When she saw the professor coming into the classroom, she quickly regained consciousness and paid attention. Pandora wanted to make a good first impression. Who wouldn't want to. Maybe she wasn't too excited.

[292 words]A cold hand, extremely cold, was something that he had only experienced once before. Someone, a new kid at his old school, was always cold for some odd reason. When he had shook the kids hand, it felt like an ice block was just shaking his own warm hand. Jay was the opposite, always hot. The cold didn't bother him at all, as he was that one kid who would go out in the middle of winter in shorts. Just shorts, no t-shirt. He felt very self-conscious about his arms, them having a few scars on them from sport accidents.
"Dora? Like Dora The Explorer? Hah, that sounds funny." This was said in a lighthearted tone, not meant to hurt anyone's feelings. And he says so almost immediately after with an "Sorry, no offense." Then, of course, the questions came on. He didn't even notice he had spoken Spanish out of habit, and felt a tad embarrassed. Usually, in the middle of conversations he would forget a word, saying it in Spanish. For greetings though, he just never really bothered to change it to English. Felt counterproductive, as he would usually forget about it and end up using the other language anyways.
"Foreign? Born and raised in England, mate. Amiga is the feminine version for 'friend' in Spanish." He said quickly, not wanting to dwell on the matter anymore. "Hogwarts is still a school, so it can't be all that. You're still learning, even if it is on the subject of magic. So perhaps it's more fun than a normal school, but still." Jay, with bags under his dark eyes, turned to see the teacher. It didn't look like class was starting yet, so they still had time to talk.

"Yes, like Dora the Explorer. My friends have never said that."
It had indeed occurred to her, but her friends had never told her. First time told by a friend. This pleased him.
"I am very very sorry. How did I get it out of a word that it was foreign, seriously? My fault.
I think we can talk a bit more before the professor starts talking about the lecture, she said to herself. 'Jay has a different aura,' she said to herself.
"So tell me a truth about yourself that no one knows."
She said it in a whisper. She didn't want the teacher or anyone else to hear. She didn't want to stand out from the first day, especially as a talkative person.
Pandora quickly opened her ink as the professor started talking about the lecture. She quickly pulled out another parchment as she wrote down the important points, listening to the professor's voice while writing notes to Jay.

She quickly pushed the piece of parchment to Jay's side and continued writing. She was curious about both the lesson and Jay's answer. She was happyVery exciting. What house would you be in if you weren't a Gryffindor?

Jay sighed a breath of silent relief at the answer the odd girl gave him to his joke. Wait, was it even a joke? Thinking of it, it was probably an insult. The show was the key reason for his anger issues, due to the girl in it was just so dumb. Like, the red barn is behind you, Dora! Stop asking me! But, that was all in the past now. All kids watch now is that melon show, and they are hooked on it like a bear to honey. Or a bear to fish? He didn't know much about bears.
Breaking his thoughts that were bound to go nowhere, he looks at the piece of parchment that was passed to him. Then, he realized the professor was talking. How did he not notice? Perpahs he was just used to the background chatter of the students, the teacher didn't seem that much different. Dipping his quill into the ink in front of him, he starts writing below the original message. It did take some thought, but only mostly because he had only thought about the fact that he wouldn't fit in Ravenclaw. At the beginning of the year feast. So only once.

Pandora was trying to listen to the lecture attentively, while also wondering about Jay's answer. Just then, she saw the note arrive. She looked at the note. She looked at the note for a while and finally understood. She stopped writing lesson notes and quickly started typing again.
She quickly cleared the parchment and cleared the table. Then he took out another piece of parchment paper. Wrote to Jay.
She gave the note without attracting attention. She continued to write her lecture notes. She was so ambitious that when she dipped her quill into the ink again, she accidentally spilled the ink on the parchment. The parchment was completely submerged. Her eyes widened with fear.I don't know, I guess I'd be Hufflepuff. Or Gryffindor. If you had a choice, which animal would you like to become? I think I would like to be a fox
She quickly cleared the parchment and cleared the table. Then he took out another piece of parchment paper. Wrote to Jay.
She continued to listen to the professor, but her mind was elsewhere so she could not focus on the lecture. Right now she was just waiting for Jay's note. She began to wait impatiently during. Didn't have a chance todayDid you keep the lecture notes? if you have it can i have it too? After class.

The ink spilling stopped him in his tracks, moving his parchment and notes quickly away from the puddle of black. To be honest, it was a bit creepy being how dark it was. It was like a void on the table, engulfing his new friend's notes and smudging the corners of his. Jay hadn't even gotten a chance to read the note passed to him, trying very hard to make good notes that he can read later for homework. Like he was going to even do the homework later, but it was worth a try anyways. He needed to start this year on a good note.
No pun intended, by the way. So, when the new note was drafted and passed to him, he smoothed out his paper.. was it paper? And quickly wrote a response. She was lucky, to be honest. Most of the time during class, he just doodles without paying attention. Of course, there are doodles on it, but it’s only so he can understand better. Little dudes to help him learn, and point to things to study for later. It was a tactic he learned from his mother, after she showed him her own school books.

Pandora was overjoyed when the note arrived. She might have cared a little too much about the grades, but she wanted to be good at the lesson. She smiled at Jay and continued to listen to the lesson.
She carefully handed the note aside. Then she took the parchment out of her bag and began to write. It was more comfortable as she would get the previous grades.
She was so focused on writing that she didn't even realize the lesson was over. When they reached the end of the lesson, as everyone stood up, Pandora turned to Jay. She spoke in a cheerful voice:
"Hopefully we'll meet another time after classes. Thank you again by the way."
She carefully put the new lecture note in her bag, and when she realized that she had put all of her belongings in her bag, she stood up and stretched. Her bones were stiff from sitting too long. She waved to Jay as she left the classroom. She headed up the stairs to go to the next lesson. She was delighted. I hoped we could meet Jay elsewhere and have a chance to talk more, she thought.
