Slightly overwhelmed, Hannah needed a place to lock herself into, only with her thoughts. The lavatory is a good spot isn't it? she thought. Suddenly, as she entered the lavatory, she heard crying, Oh goodness... What must've happened? she questioned. No questioning, it's something personal. it felt tempting not to ask, but she could not. "Excuse me...?" she said softly. "Are you okay?" "I heard crying, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to" The other girl had locked herself inside a cabinet, doing so, Hannah could not see her face. She knew how it was to just cry, but had it been for something? The girl kept quiet, the cold feeling of being inside the lavatory, freaked her out. The wind blew... making her arms cold and her hands, still warm. She looked at the sink, looking at the mirror. Hannah still wore her light blue sweater, walking closer to the sink, the girl turned the water on and put it on her face, washing it, talking to herself "The day's been hard for you too huh?" she knew she probably would not get a response, but still she talked, it was something she did it without even thinking about what to say. "Tomorow will be a good day I hope..."

"Excuse me...?" she said softly. "Are you okay?" "I heard crying, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to" The other girl had locked herself inside a cabinet, doing so, Hannah could not see her face. She knew how it was to just cry, but had it been for something? "I-I'm fine," she sniffled. Finally, the girl spoke. "Ok...maybe I'm not," The girl kept quiet, the cold feeling of being inside the lavatory, freaked her out. The wind blew... making her arms cold and her hands, still warm. She looked at the sink, looking at the mirror. Hannah still wore her light blue sweater, walking closer to the sink, the girl turned the water on and put it on her face, washing it, talking to herself "The day's been hard for you too huh?" she knew she probably would not get a response, but still she talked, it was something she did it without even thinking about what to say. "Yeah..." She said quietly. The girl unlocked the stall, and after that, she peeked to see who it was. Tomorow will be a good day I hope... "I'm sorry, I must look like a mess," The other girl said, slumping down to the floor and pulling her knees to her chest. "I just...I'm having a bad day, everything's so overwhelming, I just needed a break...are you having a bad day too?" "I mean yes, if you want to say it was. I just needed a place to think... I guess a lot of people, you know are putting a lot of pressure, and it's overwhelming, and stressful." she felt good admitting that. "What's your name? I'm Hannah, Hannah Blossom. I'm a first year, I figured your one too, but if you're a second year or a third... Anyways, I'm a Gryffindor, what house are you in? she smiled.

I sniffled and looked at the girl, wiping my eyes on my nose and sweater. It was honestly very nice to have someone to talk to, though right now, my thoughts were all over the place. I didn't usually coop myself up in(supposedly)empty lavatories and cry my heart out just because I was having a bad day, but I guess that a lot of things had changed when I first came to Hogwarts. It seemed that this girl hadn't been having a great day either, and again, I realized just how nice it was to be able to share my thoughts with somebody. And what the girl I was talking to had talked about needing a place to think and that people putting a lot of pressure on you was stressful, I agreed wholeheartedly. And this was one of the rare times I had actually appreciated the silence. When the girl introduced herself as Hannah Blossom a 1st year Gryffindor, I felt my spirits lighten a little, and I noticed that I wasn't really crying anymore. "Oh, um...I'm Aurora Griffith, a 1st year Hufflepuff, but a lot of people call me Ro..." I responded. I slowly got to my feet and held out my hand to Hannah. "It's nice to meet you Hannah. I'm sorry you had to see me like that...maybe we can be...friends?" It might have been a stupid question. Or not. I couldn't tell. But I really did want to make it up to Hannah, since she wasn't having a great day either...

╔═══━━━──────────────────────── • ────────────────────────━━━═══╗

The girl wiped her eyes. Hannah leaned against the sink, trying to smile, but today wasn't too good for that.

The silence dominated the room, until the girl introduced herself. Her name was Aurora Griffith, a Hufflepuff and a first year like Hannah. She said people called her Ro. She held her hand out. Hannah thought this was an invitation to shake it, so she did. Then, she started talking."Has anyone ever called you Rory, I mean your nickname is pretty and everything but Rory is always pretty if you'd like a change of nicknames." Hannah paused as Aurora spoke. Friends?

"I'd love to be friends!" Hannah smiled. This had just make her day.

Anyway, Hannah was happy to meet this girl, and even though they both had bad days behind them, they both had a new friend in the end.

"What do you like to do on your free time here at Hogwarts?" the girl asked trying to cheer the other girl up, and changing the conversation.

They had just met, but they were friends, well at least they had just become friends. Hannah wanted to know more about Rory- Ro. She seemed nice and everything, but Hannah didn't know much about her, since they had just met after all.


╚═══━━━──────────────────────── • ────────────────────────━━━═══╝

So maybe my question, the one that no one ever asks, "Do you want to be friends", had actually made someone's day. Or it didn't. But to recap, this girl, Hannah, had found me in the bathroom crying because I was having a bad day. Turns out, her day wasn't so great either. I guess that we both managed to spill our guts and how exactly we were feeling, stuff that I honestly wouldn't talk about on a regular basis. I had asked Hannah if she wanted to be my friend, and I think that it made both of our days. "I'd love to be friends!" Hannah had said, smiling. I smiled too for the first time that day, and I contemplated what Hannah had said just a moment earlier. "Oh, and usually, the only one who calls me Rory is my Nanny, or, you know, my grandmother. But I don't mind if you call me Rory too!" Whether this was a mistake or not, I wasn't sure, since nobody else called me that, but I decided never to tell Nanny about this. "What do you like to do on your free time here at Hogwarts?" Hannah asked. "Oh, well, I like to be outside...when I'm not sick, or it's too cold or rainy. Or, I like to be in the library and read. I love to read, especially mysteries and fantasies. And exploring the castle, that's fun too. What about you?" I asked.

╔═══━━━──────────────────────── • ────────────────────────━━━═══╗

Ro had just asked what Hannah liked to do in her free time. ”Well, a lot of stuff. I like to read in the library and see the Great Lake. I think it’s a very nice place. And umm.. what else? Oh! Yes I love exploring the castle. I enjoy most of the classes like flying and charms. What classes do you like?”

Snap! Maybe she had said too much. Well, maybe that had distracted Ro from her bad day. Maybe. Just maybe.

Anyway, it was nice to be here, since her day wasn’t going very well. It was like, washing your face after crying, you know?

But that didn’t mean the day was over, it was nice to talk to someone who also had a bad day.

There was some silence between the two girls, and Hannah enjoyed this. It wasn’t awkward, just that silence when you’re friends with someone and you too just sit there until someone breaks the silence.

That was that type of silence, it was very nice. Even though Hannah was talkative, she enjoyed silence sometimes, like this time. Except it felt like she knew Rory for a long time. Like they knew each other since birth and even were best friends, but they had just met.

Hannah waited for Ro to break the silence. She wasn’t going to be the one to break it.
