Being new and alone sure wasn’t easy, but Krystal has been through tougher things than that so she decided to try to find her way around this place on her own. It sure wasn't an easy thing to do tough.
The study room, a place she has decided to choose because she wasn’t assigned to a dorm room yet, so she needed to study somewhere. The girl didnt’t exactly know why she was assigned to Ravenclaw...well she does have a passion for drawing and likes originality, she has also been a good student, but never a huge fan of studying. She only studied when she needed to but luckily her brain remembered things fast.
Holding her books to her chest, she looked around where to sit and decided to sit at the table closest by. As she sat on the chair, placing her books on the table, she noticed a korean boy next to her. Being lost in thoughts too long can make a person unaware of their surroundings. She shot a quick smile at him out of kindness and opened one of her study books. She also took out her trusty black sketchpad just in case an inspiration flies by...

A blonde boy would walk into the study room, with a book bay leaning on his shoulder, with the weight of it pressing down on him. He soon sat at one of the tables and pulled his books out, sending a nod of reognition to Adohiro. He then took out the dark forces going to the bookmarked page of it. He would then intently read it and make a few notes in a small notebook of his.
Alexander would then practie a downwards wand movement about 5 times, not too muh sine it was rather easy but it was some more practice in getting more control over his wands. He then began to pronounce the word a few dozen times, trying to find just the right way to pronounce. "STEW-pleh-flye, no no, STEW-pluh-fy, still not good but better, STEW-puh-fly" He then breated out frustrated for a second before taking a small rest and calmly saying "STew-puh-fye." He would then smile in succes as he finnaly got the pronounciation right. Then he would combine the wand movement, with the correct pronounciation as well as a little bit of magic and a large amount of determination
He aimed his wands at the wall whilst doing so and with lots of satisfaction watched a red light leave his wand and harmlessly dissipate against the wall. He then studied some more in his book, not sitting like he does not want company.

Memory is all we are. Moments and feelings, captured in amber, strung on filaments of reason. Take a man’s memories and you take all of him. Chip away a memory at a time and you destroy him as surely as if you hammered nail after nail through his skull

Adohiro was sitting quietly, reading over the materials he had picked from the library. However, he noticed a pretty light-haired girl walk into the study room. From her uniform, her name was Krystal which seemed like an odd spelling to him. He then saw a small smile which he smiled back. However, he was still confused with the spelling of her name. "Crystal' spelled with a 'c', not a 'k'." The Korean boy had asked out a bit too loud. Noticing his abrubt mistake, Adohiro blushed darkly in embarrassment and did a quick bow to her. "I greatly apologize for my rudeness!" He spoke, bowing thrice. However, he knew his random bowing did cause some awkwardness to others. Living in South Korea for his whole life, he wasn't up to date with the England customs and it would take him awhile to adjust. Especially the food since it tasted nothing like the homecooked meals his family cook had made. However, he did try some homemade cookies a student had made and they were sure tasty. "I-I am sorry." He apologized once again to the light-haired girl.

While reading, the girl noticed that the boy next to her seemed to be focused on her attire. He soon made a quiet comment about her name, which Krystal quickly understood as something he didn’t mean to say outloud and as the boy apologized, she knew she was correct. She made a short eye contact with the boy, letting him know she heard him. She then looked away for a second, like she was trying to compose a simple explaination. With a smile, she nicely answered.
“Yes, my name origins from the word crystal, but like most names it has many variations.”
She then focused on the boy’s name:
“A-do-hi-ro...Adohiro.”
She tought to herself, already knowing some of the Asian culture and from his name and apperiance knew the boy was Korean.
“Nice to meet you Adohiro, does your name mean anything?”
She then curiously asked, looking at the boy’s nametag.
With a gentle flip she fixed her silky white locks that were falling on her face. The boy seemed kind and striking a short conversation with him made Krystal feel better about this place. She didn’t hate solitude, but knowing that a person can talk to people easily here, sure gives someone some positive energy.

愛土浩
Adohiro heard her explanation of how there were different name variations and he nodded his head. There were Korean names that were the same but were spelled with different consonants. "Alright, thank you very much for your answer. That clears up the misunderstanding." He kindly spoke in a polite tone of voice. He glanced at the girl's white silky hair which seemed like an odd color. Was it dyed or could she possibly be albino? However, he knew better not to ask. When he heard Krystal sound out his name, he nodded his head to show her that she said his name perfectly. "It is a pleasure to meet you too. My name Adohiro means peace within chaos. The name is Japanese despite being of Korean descent. I was named in honor of my wet nurse by my eldest brother." He had explained his name meaning which he knew he heard this question at least a hundred days. Although, it never annoyed him and he was more than happy to explain it to those who didn't understand. He glanced at his books he had gotten from the library to study the materials in more depth so he could be ahead. He opened up the History of Magic book and skimmed over the pages. He grabbed a piece of blank paper and wrote 愛土浩. He handed it to Krystal, smiling. "This is how my name is spelled."

The girl noticed that Adohiro was looking at her hair and it made her smile a bit. She fixed her hair again and tucked some of her locks behind her ear.
As she heard the boy’s explaination about his name, it fascinated her. Adohiro spoke in a very polite tone, which increased a person’s focus even more when listening to him.
“That’s really beutiful.”
She commented and smiled again. When he handed her a piece of paper with his name written on it, she opened her sketchbook and put the paper in beetween the pages.
“It will be safe in here.”
She really liked learning new languages, so she decided that she will learn how to write his name. She let out a relax sigh:
“Eldest brother? How many brother do you have?”
She asked curiously. As an only child, she never knew how it is to have a sibiling or to have a big family. It was always just her and her dad. And even though she liked her family, curiosity struck every now and then.
Since Adohiro was very polite, maybe he was from a noble family ormaybe he was just from a well-mannered one. There was also a possibility that he was just polite by personality, so Krystal decided to abandon this thinking and just wait for what Adohiro will tell her.

"Thank you very much," Adohiro replied when she had mentioned his name was beautiful. He had gotten thousands of compliments, but none had said it was beautiful. So it stood out a lot. He handed her the piece of paper of his name which he smiled when she had said it was in a safe place. When she had asked about his siblings, he opened his mouth to speak. "I have four older brothers and an older sister. I am not very close with the three other brothers since they left the house to marry and have children when I was about six years old. I was raised by my eldest brother, Jonghyun, and his wife. My sister often visited so I am more close with her. I do try to write letters to my family, but they are busy with their business company." Adohiro spoke. He didn't really talk much about his family since they were distant and a bit cold. He never did have any close relationships with them and always felt sad whenever he thought of them. It wasn't the typical close family at all, but one that only cared about not ruining the family's name.

She listened carefully as the boy counted his many relatives one by one and there sure were a lot of them. She noticed that he seemed rather uncomfortable talking about it, so she decided not to ask him stuff any further.
“I see, well I’m an only child.”
She stated with a calm tone. Looking around the room, she noticed there were less people in here now.
“Adohiro, what house are you in?”
She asked, remembering she didn’t know where the boy was sorted to. She didn’t even know where she will be sorted to, so when she got into Ravenclaw she was neither surprised neither disappointed. She understood Ravenclaws were people with creativity, originality and smarts. Well she loved drawing and she was always able to study fast, even though she wasn’t really a person who adored studying. She studied when she needed and if it interested her. But she would fit elsewhere than Ravenclaw as well. But she didn’t mind. Ravenclaw was a nice place for her and her dorm was pleasing. People she met in Ravenclaw were all pretty nice for her, but Krystal knew she can’t trust people that fast or judge them by their first impressions. As she slipped out of her thoughts, she focused her eyes back on the boy, waiting for him to answer.
