————————————————————Jam trudged along the slippery grounds of the courtyard, pushing her glasses up her nose. Her other hand held a book with a violet cover and silver accents. The book did not fail to capture the girl’s attention the moment she started reading it, as it was full of wonderful descriptions and vivid details.
The Ravenclaw was on the way to her favourite reading spot, but was too engrossed in the novel to resist the urge to read it on the way there. So, off she went, paying less and less attention to her surroundings as she walked.
Just as she passed the fountain, a large figure suddenly appeared towering over her. The shadow of the figure darkened the pages of her book, forcing her to peel her eyes away from the text and look up. A sick feeling swirled in her stomach as a natural instinct, because this was a scene she had imagined a million times before she arrived at Hogwarts.
She felt lucky that it had not happened sooner, but was a little upset that she couldn’t avoid it altogether. Before she could think any more of the situation, Jam felt the novel snatched out of her hands, and everything after that became a blur as she fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

————————————————————Jam’s head was still spinning from everything that had just happened. One moment she was on the ground and the next she was watching a blurry but familiar figure defend her. The voice was recognisable, but the girl fixed her crooked glasses to get a better view. Her suspicions were immediately confirmed, as it was her friend Kaito who came to her rescue.
Jam reached out her hand to grab the book, cringing slightly at the mud smeared across the cover. Despite this, the Ravenclaw girl returned her friend’s smile with a small but thankful smile of her own. As she got up from the ground, Jam felt bad about the whole situation. If Kaito was reported, he could get into a lot of trouble, and she didn’t want to be the reason for a friend’s demise.
It was definitely a surprise to Jam. Is this really the same quiet boy she had met in her charms class? She thought, but smiled at the thought of her friend being super protective. “Thank you for rescuing me,” Jam said gratefully, playfully sending a punch to the Gryffindor’s arm. “I didn’t have you pegged as the protective type, but I think it’s really awesome!”
Jam fixed her bangs consciously and wiped her coat with hidden urgency. She didn’t have a mirror on her, and she was sure she looked a mess after the troubling encounter. The girl was quite a perfectionist when it came to her looks, so being in front of a friend looking this way made her feel quite embarrassed.
“So…” The girl started, not wanting the silence to make it awkward, “How did you find me? I didn’t expect many people to be out here during this time, let alone you.” Jam shoved her hands into her pockets by habit, widening her eyes as she waited a response from her friend.

————————————————————“Oh, no, I don’t think I got hurt.” Jam assured Kaito. Even if she did, she wouldn’t want to worry him. It was the least she could do, knowing the consequences that he would face if a staff member was alerted about his violence. The school was pretty strict about student violence, and were especially hard on their punishments to ensure that such events don’t happen again. It was insane, really, for the boy to step in. Jam was glad he did though, because if it wasn’t for him she’d still be on the ground covered in mud.
The girl suddenly felt a sharp sensation on her forehead, cutting off her thoughts. She rubbed it as the Gryffindor laughed, smiling widely in response. It was only a couple seconds later that the girl processed what he said just before. “You’re an exception” He said, colouring the Ravenclaw girl’s cheeks a little. It was painfully obvious on her face, but she adjusted her glasses, hoping to cover the reddish tint on her cheeks. For all she knew, the boy was just trying to prevent his friend from getting hurt. But he was willing to face the music of his actions by doing so.
For her.
The girl had to shake the thought away when she felt herself getting too riled up, pulling away at her clothes to distract herself. “Don’t worry, you look great”. Another compliment. It was a small one, said only to reassure her. However, her heart skipped a beat. She wasn’t usually like this, analysing too closely into others’ words. She convinced herself she was just grateful, thus feeling too many emotions at once.
Clearing her throat, Jam began to reply to the boy. “I have no idea! I don’t think I’ve seen him around, let alone done anything to offend him!” The girl huffed in annoyance. “It’s so super strange…” Chewing on her bottom lip, the Ravenclaw asked, “We still have quite some time left before lunch ends, do you want to get a bite?” She smiled, hoping to spend a little more time with her friend before heading off to her next class.
