Studying? Not really…
Allegra sat in the Study Room, her eyes darting around the room searching for ANYTHING to lighten up the stuffy room. The study room contained wooden bookshelves, mahogany desks and chairsThe Study room was furnished with bookshelves containing mostly fiction books- she noticed Gildeoy Lockhart’s book was there. ‘Magical Me’ .She only noticed because she noticed someone who was reading the aforesaid book when she passed her in the corridors.The girl she spoke of seemed quite quiet. She didn’t hear her speak that often.
Allegra was supposed to be doing her homework, but alas, she did not want to. It was a beautiful day outside. She couldn’t help but notice how the light streamed though the window and the sunny sky, and the birds chirping… Ughhh I’m so bored she thought. She was supposed to be doing that assignment for professor Blumenthal. Are you kidding me? she thought when she first heard what Professor Blumenthal had said. A five paged essay about Pygmy Puffs? I mean what sort of school hands out homework on the first day… “Guess that’s Hogwarts for you.” She said aloud. She looked outside. The sky instead of baby blue, was now darker- tinged with hints of purple and pink. She inwardly swore.How long had she been here for? She must have dozed off…

Studying? Not really…
Simon was about to finish Professor Blimenthal's essay about Pygmy Puffs. He had only one page left and thought it would be a good idea to leave the library and change environment for the last page. He had heard of the Study Room on the second floor. Holding his brown leather bag firmly so that the shoulder strap would not unfasten again, he entered the room and looked around.
He found one of the mahogany desks being available beside one of the other first years. It was that Hufflepuff girl from his class with blond locks who sometimes had a dreamy look in her sea green eyes. He could not remember her name, but then he was bad at remembering names. Although, he had noticed her in the classroom sometimes looking restless. He had caught himself a couple of times wondering what those eyes were thinking about.
Indeed, the girl looked somewhat restless, as if she was about to leave. The sun lit up her hair from the window behind her and made the blond strands glow like gold around the edges. Simon sat down by the desk beside her.
"Hi", he said, but then he thought to himself: Maybe she does not even recognize me? Perhaps she does not know we are in the same class. "You're a first year in Hufflepuff, right?" he added, despite knowing that she was.

Allegra snapped out of her daze. She turned around in her chair, feeling the cold mahogany rub against her back. She saw a handsome boy with brown hair standing next to her desk. “Oh. Hello! What are you doing in the study room at such a late hour? Surely it would be time for dinner now.
She stood up and started packing away her supplies. Hmmm… don’t forget The history of Hogwarts (by Garius Tomink) I Want to read up on that later. Now I just need my eraser and pencils. She looked at the desk. No erasers in sight. None! Ugh… she smiled at the boy. “Hey could you help me find my eraser if that isn’t too much of a big deal? Thanks.” She started to check inside of her pencil case to make sure she hadn’t accidentally put it in there.
She glanced at the boy. She couldn’t help noticing his sapphire blue eyes, his slightly board shoulders and his fluffy hair. Wow. I mean, I would date him if I got to know him better. And in terms of looks, he would probably win than most of the other boys in the school .I guess…
She blinked, coming out of her reverie. She spotted her eraser on the floor. Finally!

“Oh. Hello! What are you doing in the study room at such a late hour? Surely it would be time for dinner now", said the girl as if he had woken her from a dream. Her tone seemed almost authoritarian, reminding him of one of the Prefects, and it was so effective that he actually questioned his presence in the room and considered eating supper instead. The girl was right, however. It was late and he had been studying for a long time already without having had anything to eat. That was not like him. He was usually constantly hungry since he began growing more rapidly at his height before the summer.
“Hey, could you help me find my eraser if that isn’t too much of a big deal? Thanks", said the girl as she packed her stuff.
"Of course, no problem", said Simon, somewhat baffled by her straight-forwardness and put his bag on the floor.
He crouched and looked around on the floor, under the benches, under the chairs, noticing in his periphery how they were being watched by some of the curious and dozy late studying students in the room. Apparently she did not need his help because she quickly found the eraser herself.
"Oh, you got it", he said and smiled politely before standing up and brushing of his thighs. "By the way, you are Rojas, right? Can I ask your first name? I'm Simon. We're in the same class." He held out his hand for her to shake.

Allegra picked up the eraser from the ground and checked to see if her pencils were inside her pencil case. Yup! There were all there. Highlighters, Erasers, Pencils, pens… got them all. She smiled and sat back down on the chair and felt the mahogany dig into her back as she swivelled around. She waves the eraser in the air.
“Oh yeah I got the eraser.” She added, glancing at him, gazing at his ocean blue eyes and closed her eyes momentarily listening to his melodious voice reply. “Yeah nice to meet you. I hope you we can be friends,” And noticing his confused face, she quickly added, “In return for helping me look for my eraser I mean,” She stood up and slung her heavy bag over her shoulder. She was at the door of the study hall when she “Oh, my name is Allegra by the way.” She grinned. “Do you want to get dinner with me in the great hall?” She pointed towards the Great Hall. she could still hear sounds of conversation in the Great Hall. “I’m pretty sure there is still some food there. If not, we can always go to the kitchens if you want. What do you say?”

“Yeah, nice to meet you. I hope you we can be friends."
Simon was not used to talking to someone so straight-forward; she did not seem to waste her breath at all! Which reminded him of a friend from his Muggle primary school, a girl that did not have any filters or second thoughts about what she should say or should not say during a conversation, which sometimes was quite amusing. That made this encounter and Allegra's personality even more interesting. Although he had seen her in class, he had not yet got an idea of who she was. He had overheard her talking with some other classmates about Italy. Was Allegra from Italy?
Then she added: “In return for helping me look for my eraser, I mean."
"Of course!", said Simon and smiled politely, but did not really think that his effort alone was a reason to be friends, since he barely had dropped his bag and started looking, before she found the eraser herself.
“Do you want to get dinner with me in the great hall? I’m pretty sure there is still some food there. If not, we can always go to the kitchens if you want. What do you say?”
"Sure, why not? I have not eaten since lunch, so I guess it's about time. I can always finish my parchment on Pygmy puffs in the common room later. How's the assignment going for you?" He put his school bag back on his shoulder, getting ready to leave for supper with Allegra, curious how their conversation would continue.
