The third floor of Hogwarts Castle. Today, as usual, there are only a few students walking around on the third floor. Maybe it is because there's only one class placed on this floor: Charms Class. Sere Nade is one of the few students, walking along the third floor casually. There are thick Defense Against the Dark Arts books stacked with parchments, her notebook, and her favorite pencil in her left arms. Sere has just finished the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and is about to return to her dorm to do her homework immediately. Typical of the ambitious, serious, and studious one.
Sere frowned, slowing down her walk on the third floor while fanning her face with her hand. I am sure that the winter is coming soon, but why is it this hot today? Beads of sweats are as big as sunflower seeds, rolling down the eleven year old girl's tiny face.
I don't think the temperature was this hot yesterday. I am definitely not sick, so it must be something wrong with the weather! Sere wiped the sweats with her free right arm, still in a slightly disturbed expression caused by the heat of the day. At the times like this, Sere really missed a muggle-world technology, the one that they called as air conditioner.
Will the Great Hall served ice cream for dessert after lunch today? Sere shook her head. Because of the temperature, the obsisdian-eyed girl doesn't even think about going out after entering her dorm later, at least until the sunset arrives. I think it would be better for me to skip lunch rather than have to going five floors down in the heated temperature nearly as hot as the peak of summer like this.

Pearla was one of the other oddities walking on the third floor. The pale girl sweating was the 'beginning' of an understatement. Her usually long, curly locks were tied back in a bun. Her eyes, while blue, seemed somehow drained more so than normal. Her unnaturally pale skin looked slightly sunburned. The girl's composure just screamed she wasn't okay from a moment's glance, that she should go rest, water. Her uniform's usual perfect ties and tucked look was pulled apart in an attempt to cool off. her white color was discolored from the amount of sweat coming off the Dhampir.
Why, today of all days.... did I need to run out?... .It's hot, too hot.. If I... weren't craving- I'd skip it... I hate the sun, hate it- I hate the heat... Why can't I get night classes or something.. I'm going to Die...
Rounding the corner to the hospital wing. Pearla's vision grew blurry; her eyes settled on the hospital wing door. As if seeing the door was enough for her mind to waver. The girl stumbled to the wall, trying to catch herself. Pausing for a moment to breathe and tug on her collar for some air, for a bit less heat. Nothing was helping, and before Pearl knew it she was falling. She was on a one-way ticket to the ground, having found herself too dazed to even realize what was going on. Her extra layers of clothes under her uniform were a terrible idea in sudden heatwaves but a savior in the sun's brutal light... As the young girl's eyes drifted shut, she saw what looked like another student down the hall. The faintest of smiles formed on her face as if she was pushed by some internalized habit. "He..p..m...hstl." She'd mutter as Pearla passed out from Heat's exposure. A pencil rolled along the ground as it slipped from her bag clashing against the ground and rolling into the middle of the hall. She was not having a good day.
...If there is a will, there is a way...

Sere sees it. The girl noticed the presence of another girl in this quiet-third-floor corridor. The pale blue-eyed girl with curly hair tied back in a bun, looked a little strange because she was wearing layers of clothes in the temperature like this. The girl's eyes seems focused to the entrance of the Hospital Wing.
But that's not the only strange thing. Sere couldn't hide her shock when the girl in Slytherin robes, looked shorter than her, is suddenly at a few steps in front of her, trying to say something haltingly, before finally falling down, passed out. Whoa! What's happened with her?!
Sere shook her head to get rid of her panic. With no doubt, the girl left her books -which were originally in her arms- be on the floor. She took off the Slytherin girl's bag and positioned the girl's body on her back. Sere was surprised at her own strength when she managed to lift the girl onto her back. I wouldn't be this strong for long time enough, so I have to hurry.
Immediately, she took wide steps towards the Hospital Wing which fortunately was only a few meters in front of them. Sere entered the room without making a fuss, then brought the pale girl down onto one of the bed and straightened her position. She observed the girl who was lying on the bed while wiping her own sweats. Sere decided to take off her Gryffindor robe and drape it on the feet frame of the bed.
Heatstroke? Sere wasn't sure, but the girl's uniform definitely looked damper than hers. If this girl indeed caught a heatstroke, being in the cooler-temperature and far-from-direct-sunlight place like this hospital would clearly help her recovery.
Sere saw the nurse come to check on the Slytherin girl's condition. She decided to go out for a moment to take all the books as well as the girl's bag and belongings which was left out for a moment. In just several minutes, she returned into the Hospital Wing with arms full of things. Hopefully, the girl would quickly woken up. I just can't see anybody in that condition. Sere is stepping closer to the girl's bed, being there, waiting for her to wake up.

Pearla wasn't all that heavy for someone of her size, though she would be awkward to carry. The moment she was pulled in, some nurses would see her and move to help. The nurses even seemed to know the girl. Offering and moving to take Pearla, even going as far as to speak her name. Allowing the Gryffindor to assist in bringing Pearla to her bed and drawing the curtains to help block out whatever lingering light was coming in indirectly over her bed. The nurse helping would have brought a cold towel and placed it on Pearla's head, checked her over, Removed her outside robe and sweater, then nodded to the Gryffindor. Explaining that Pearla would be fine she got overheated a mild heatstroke, and to give her a pop and some water when she woke up. Both items were left on the bedside table. A cup full of Roughly five little loli pops, all wrapped up and looking just like Cherry candy with their deep blood-red color, And an ice-cold cup of water that Pearla had to drink entirely before leaving.
Pearla herself looked rather peaceful while resting there, half snoring with the cold towel on her head.
By the time Sere had come back, Pearla was already awake, looking around. Looking around with Dazed, half-lidded eyes. She focused on the Gryffindor, having slightly noticed that they had her bag. Yawning and sitting up, Sere might have even noticed the girl had a missing tooth or two with the large yawn Pearla gave.
Where am I? Hospital wing? "When... When Did I get here? who are you?"
Pearla would ask as she settled herself while sat up. She readjusted the cold towel on her head, unwrapping it to put it over her whole face; a little goofy looking, but Pearla absolutely found the cold factor a life savor on her hot and dry skin. Not yet giving her name, but Sere would know it from the nurses speaking it.

Sere put the things that were in her hands on the chair near the bed. The chair was supposed to use by the student's caretaker but Sere is fine with standing. From the corner of her eyes, Sere could see that the girl had woken up. Thank God! The girl is still looked pale as well as a little bit tired, but her behaviour such as widely-yawning and covering her face with the towel-compress made Sere believe that she'll be fine.
Sere moved her sight to the bedside table, there are glass of ice water and... some lollipops? Sere doesn't know why people need candies when they had heatstroke.
Sere heard the curly-haired girl asked a question which she immediately answered with, "I'm Sere Nade, Gryffindor's first year. Just call me Sere," The girl walked to the girl's side as she continued, "I brought you here earlier because... you fainted right in front of me. It is a quite hot day, right? You had heatstroke. Are you feeling better now?"
Sere took a glass of ice water and handed it over to the girl, "And you? What's your name?" Sere frowned when she looks closer to the girl, there are several reddish sunburns visible on the girl's exposed body parts. "You seemed to be in a pretty-No, you are in a really bad condition. How could the sun... directly burned you?" Sere changed her mind, the girl may not be fine.
Sere also brought a cup containing the lollies. "I don't know how this could help. Maybe the sugar in these strawberry lollies will make you feel energized. However, the nurse brought them, so you have to take some."
Sere observes the strawberry lollies. The color seems a little bit too dark comparing to all kind of strawberry lollies she had back then. But what else could it be? These are obviously the strawberry-flavored things... Right?

As Pearla rested with the wet, cold towel over her face, all she initially gave back was an "Oh." She fell silent as she heard the return questions and ramblings. Sere sure could talk, Which wasn't a bad thing. Pearla just found herself awkward in nearly all social interactions, especially unplanned ones; perhaps this one would be different sere wasn't a slytherin after all. She squeezed out the cold water on her face slightly, getting it on the pillow behind her, before starting to answer.
"Um, my name is Pearla, Pearla Vexx. Thanks for helping me! I, um.. got burned while being outside too long. So I was headed up here." Perfect excuse! It should totally stop the questions. The last thing I need is some 'hero' figuring me out..
Pearla paused and offered again with a smile. "I'm feeling better now, really.. yo-"
She'd paused like someone just hit a remote button on her, having finally taken the towel off her face; Pearla's eyes went wide seeing the loli's, smiling with 'very' nearly a fang-ish nature to them. Plucking one and flopping back while tasting her 'treat.' "Thank you! Y's! th' am' s'gar!" Pearla spoke with one of the pops in her mouth. She still seemed as burned as before and still a little out of it but a lot happier, almost like she was a spoiled kid getting a loli in a candy store. She took her time to was her treat down with a drink of the water that was brought.. She adjusted herself to be held up nicely by her pillows without needing actually to sit up. She'd take out her 'candy' to properly speak further; physically, she looked as worse for wear as when she came in, Skin Pale and corpselike, slightly burned and sweaty as a pig, but the big bright smile might suggest she was better or just recovering well. "You, um, didn't have to bring me. But thanks, Sere. I totally owe ya one. I'd have burned up out there if it wasn't for you dragging me in. I think the lay down out of the sun's helping a lot. An' well ditching my like robe and outer jacket." Then, she promptly went back to eating her 'strawberry' pop. Pearla wasn't gonna correct them, She was happy to let them assume whatever they'd want off of the color of the treat.
...If there is a will, there is a way...

Pearla Vexx. Sere would clearly remember her as the first person to receive her help at Hogwarts. That's not something bad considering that Sere has an ambition to protecting other lives. It was satisfying herself. "It's nice to meet you, although it doesn't seem like a good situation for an introduction, but still... It's good to know you, Pearla."
Sere feels that Pearla is a shy but passionate person. The curly-haired girl's behavior makes her look younger than Sere, but there's no way anyone could be younger considering Sere herself is one of the firsties. "It's also good that you're feeling well. I didn't do much, just brought -dragged- you in, no bother at all."
Sere looked at the girl who was chewing her lollies vigorously. While waiting for the girl to recover, Sere feels like she needs to maintain the conversation so that there's no awkward silence between them. She asked, "Does your skin have an excessive sensitivity to the sun? Oh... And, the lollies seems like really help you. Do you like strawberries? Well, me myself, I love fruit-flavored dishes."
Sere frowned, then scratched the back of her head, "Ah, why am I asking so much unimportant things? I obviously talk too much. I'm sorry." Sere clearly doesn't just 'talk too much' to Pearla considering that everyone who had interacted with her gave the same impression regarding this matter. "You know, there are some people who don't like the talkatives," Sere looked at Pearla, "Are you one of them?"
This girl is someone who's good at pressing the 'switch' button within herself, so Sere is able to adapt to Pearla's preferences. A clearly visible tendency of people pleasure.

Pearla couldn't help but brighten up at the talkative 'friend' who'd helped her into the hospital wing. She was definitely asking some more personal questions, but it felt like they just wanted to make friends, something Pearla sort of understood. She had been struggling to make many, or in the very least, in her own eyes, struggling to make many friends. Shifting the pop to the side of her cheek so she could enjoy her 'treat' and speak. Why sacrifice one for the other after all? Though if Sere was *really* observant, they could see she had little fangs where she hadn't had teeth before, a small oversight on the young snake in failing to hide her teeth with someone sitting so close.
"Oh, no, you're okay.. I'm still tired, so I'm a little quiet. Also, who doesn't feel better after candy? F0r my skin?"
Pearla questioned, rolling up her sleeve and looking over her arm, slightly shrugging as she slurped on her pop. Girl was absolutely a bit of a fiend for her candy; she could blame the daily supply of steady pops for her growing 'blood' tooth. Imagine if a kid was told to eat candy. That was Pearla.. She'd eventually grow to have more self-control, maybe. "I have sensitive skin, yeah, and a muggle condition. Like red hair? But more serious. I know it was something that ran in my family." Pearla fed that like it was the truth, but it was obviously a lie. Pearla knew what she was and even gingers had more color than she did, who looked to have half a foot in the ground already. "You're a Gryffindor, yea? Tell me, what kind of fruit is your favorite? Personally, Cherry is mine."|ཐི❀ཋྀ ♱°·.·°༒︎☾༒︎°·.·°♱ཐི❀ཋྀ | ཐི❀ཋྀ♱°·.·°༒︎☾༒︎°·.·°♱ཐི❀ཋྀ |

Sere wiped her remaining sweats. Half an hour ago it was still sized like sunflower seeds, but now it is almost completely dry, leaving her with limp hair that she has to wash afterwards.
"I see, so it is kind of genetics in your family," Sere nodded, believing Pearla's words. "That means... you're also a muggle-born just like me?" Sere seemed to think, "Ah, speaking of hair, I always like seeing people with curly hair. I literally said this to almost every girl I met because I mean it," Sere pointed at Pearla's hair, "But I heard that certain days could be so stressful for people with curly hair. Is that true?"
Sere answered Pearla's question, "Yeah, as you can see..." Sere looked at the black robe with red accents draped on the feet frame of the bed, "...and as I mentioned before, I'm a Gryffindor."
Sere watched Pearla chew the strawberry lolli, it looked like the candy is so delicious. Sere cleared her throat, "I love sour-flavored fruits like lemon and berries. For the berries, I actually love raspberries more... but strawberries..." The obsidian eyes flashed a glint before quickly picking up a lolli from the cup on Pearla's hand, "...could also be very tempting on hot days."
Sere immediately inserted and sucked the strawberry lolli, only for a second before she holds her shout, "OH MY!"
Ignoring Pearla's existence in a snap, Sere went out to find a sink, spat out all the thing she had sucked, and rinsed her mouth. Tasted like an iron! This candy was definitely made from blood!
Sere returned to Pearla a while later with her wet mouth and soaked uniform collar, still with the remains of the lolli -which she is now sure that it isn't strawberry flavored- in her hand, plus a clearly annoyed face. "It feels like sucking half of my ancestors' existence." She is quiet losing herself today, maybe all the control she had on herself melt down along with this heated fall day.

Pearla nodded to the question about muggle born, looking around the wing a little. She knew better than to just admit that sometimes. The Gryffindor seemed like a safe bet, though, especially with how nice they'd been. "oh, my hair takes *forever* to keep happy. It is always knotting and finding little places that get really bad.." Pearla let out a small giggle, seeing the girl's reaction to the absolutely obvious question. Pearla had only asked it because she's awkward and had no idea how to ask a question without being awkward. The young snake stared out and was watching some nurses while Sere was talking to her. Entirely missing Sere snagging a pop out of the cup in her hand, had pearl seen it. Sere would have totally stopped the other, as she both knew it wasn't good to let out her little secret.
"Sour's okay, but I personally don't really like the bitt-" Pearla jumped hearing the sudden 'Oh my', her red Blue eyes shooting wide when she'd realized what happened. "TH- those ar' hmm." The girl's face went 'pale' if that was even possible to be more pale. Sinking back under her blanket and looking terrified of Sere as she realized what the pop tasted like. "I- uh- hmm- I'rmm.. Can explain..?" Pearla grimaced, closing one of her closer eyes to Sere and shifting deeper into the pillow behind her. The Damphir still had her loli in her mouth. "jus' shhh.. Please,.. I'll tell you.. okay?. . . Their- they are, blood pops." Pearla nearly begged as the slight yell brought more attention than she would have ever liked.|ཐི❀ཋྀ ♱°·.·°༒︎☾༒︎°·.·°♱ཐི❀ཋྀ | ཐི❀ཋྀ♱°·.·°༒︎☾༒︎°·.·°♱ཐི❀ཋྀ |
