————————————————————It was a class-packed weekday in Hogwarts, and students were zooming to their next class everywhere. Jam was carrying a towering stack of papers that threatened to fall every turn she made. She had stupidly volunteered to bring her classmates’ essays to her teacher, unknowing that her classmates like to write a lot.
It shouldn’t be a surprise to the Ravenclaw girl, since she always knew there were quite a few talented writers in her class, yet it didn’t occur to her that the stack of papers she would carry was going to be blocking her frontal vision completely. Pairing this situation with bustling schoolmates all around her was just pure misfortune. Just two more turns, and I’ll be free, Jam thought with furrowed brows.
The girl expertly manoeuvred past the recurring waves of exhausted students that she fought to move against. Jam stared intently at the wall of white in front of her eyes, which she had so meticulously organised by name and house, with a high level of concentration. It took a great deal of focus to prevent the tower of paper from toppling. It would’ve been a huge waste of effort if it did and Jam wasn’t going to let that happen.
The brunette was down the final left turn until she reached her professor. She relaxed her arms which were starting to ache from carrying the stack of papers, erasing the light tint of pink that painted her cheeks. It was when she turned the corner the girl felt a force suddenly knock her over, causing her to release the stack of papers and fall to her feet.

Alex had started the day so-so, he was late to breakfast. It was during that time were he got a very nice, neat and well needed package from his parents. They had sent it using the owl that he had used to send them a letter a few days prior. The package contained a 'new' comic book. It was not new in the sense in the fact that it just came out, but rather that he had not yet had or read it. It was also superman, so how could he not start immediately reading it? Even in class, yes he did get his work done, and yes he got halfway through, and into a really good part that made him not want to put it down.
So now he was waling through the halls, his nose shoved in the book, not paying any attention to the students that walked around him. He may have gotten a few 'watch were your going' and 'put the book down'. Alex just ignored them all, enjoying the book and the man in the red tights. It really did not take long at all for him to run into someone, or did they run into him? Alex could not tell with the chaos of paper falling everywhere and him trying to grab something to stop his decent. He did not notice until he saw his leg on it, creasing the cover, page lost. Of his new comic.
How much did that matter though? Not much, he looked around and at the girl that he ran into. "Are you ok?" He asked looking at her on the ground, she must have fell when he ran into her. Alex quickly went to stand up and help the girl by offering his hand. "Im so sorry, I wasn't looking were I was going, let me help you with this mess." He apologized to her, ready to help her with what she needed. If she was holding all those papers in her hands, then she just might need help carrying and picking them all up.

————————————————————At the initial shock, Jam rubbed her back, exclaiming instinctively, “Geez! What’s your damage, Heather?” It wasn’t a shock that the girl quoted muggle movies she had seen with her parents countless times. She just kept forgetting a super low percentage of Hogwarts students could get her references, which became an obvious sign for her to probably shut up when it comes to anything she was used to when she lived as a muggle.
Upon hearing the voice of a presumed older boy apologising to her, the girl scrambled up to her knees, picking up the blanket of papers on the floor. No, I’m really sorry! I wasn’t looking where I was going either! I mean it wasn’t like I had a choice, but still!” The girl said quickly, not wanting the first senior she had truly met have a bad impression of her.
As she started collecting her papers from the floor together with the dark-haired boy, she mentally groaned. It was like her troubles came true all at once; knocking into a totally innocent person, creating a huge mess of her classmates’ essays, AND probably embarrassing herself in front of literally everyone swarming through the corridors. The girl could practically feel the judgement as she crouched over, trying to reduce the area of the sheets of white scattered over the floor. If anything, they should be asking her what her damage was.
Jam took a quick moment to study the victim of her messy situation, finding that he indeed did look older, halfway confirming her assumptions. She pulled her hair that was falling over shoulders back, getting them out of the way before speaking again. “Um, I’ve not seen you around, so I assume you’re a senior? And I love your screws, they look cool.”
Jam thought a compliment could probably aid the situation, and it was true, the earrings were awesome in her opinion. “Anyway I’m Jam and I’m a first-year, from Ravenclaw,” She introduced herself, extending out one hand. She hoped that the boy would shake her hand, since it would be awkward if he didn’t.

Did she quote a muggle movie? Alex Really was not sure if he had heard her correctly. She then said something that Alex truly understood, Saying it was her fault. He shook his head. "I guess we were both not paying attention" He said with a small laugh. Sill picking up some of the papers that looked to be essays. From what Alex had seen and with the context clues he had, it seemed like she was taking the some of her classmates homework to turn them in, but it was to much and then they ran into each other. Then they both dropped everything they were carrying.
That is what Alex was thinking until his hand landed on his comic, just now noticing it. And the creased page. He could not help but cringe. It was bad. The top right corner was folded down. Roughly in the middle of the cover, leaving a really bad crease line. He moved back the cover, really sad. As he only gotten it that day. Sighing he put it at the bottom of his stack of papers, to try and give it some weight to get it back in place. He would stick it under some of his school books when he got back to his dorm.
Getting fully back on his two feet looking at the girl, who was also now standing up, he noticed her pale skin, and her glasses. He did not meet a whole lot of people that wore glasses. Alex did not really know what to say, but lucky for him it seemed like she did. "Senior?" He said in surprise. "As in older?" He shook his head. "Im a first year, so yeah. Not a senior. But thank you, my parents got them for me a while back." He nooted touching his earrings, balancing the papers with one hand. He thought they made him look a bit cooler, so he wore them.
"Its nice to meet you Jam" He said with a smile. "Alexander, but everyone calls me Alex." He gave his own introduction. Slightly fibbing, as not everyone called him Alex, but most people did. So it still was good for him. He held the paper's in a sandwich-esq way, one hand on the bottom and the other on the top, keeping them secure. "Sooo... Were are we taking these?" He asked, choosing to use we to say that hes going to help carry without really saying it.

————————————————————“It’s nice to meet you too, Alex!” Jam replied, returning his smile. The Ravenclaw girl scooped up the remaining stack of papers and stood up, eyeing the new acquaintance as she tried to mimic the way he held his own stack. “It’s just around the corner, the office right there.” Jam said simply, “I only had to turn the corner before i reached the room.”
The brunette bit her lip guiltily. She had caught sight of the book Alex carried and how it creased. She knew it probably wasn’t fully her fault, but she did play a part in it. Jam decided to play around the subject, just to see if it seriously affected the Gryffindor.
“You were reading that superman book, right? Those are really good,” The girl wasn’t lying, because she truly did like the hero, yet she barely even read the comics about him anymore. Her parents were huge superhero geeks, which naturally led to her following their footsteps.
Pushing a wooden door open, Jam stepped inside and dropped the stack of papers on a desk, then motioning for Alex to follow. “Just put it right here. I think that should be fine? I didn’t exactly get the clearest instructions on where to put them.”
