What a Pretty Flower
Tommy was finally getting used to Hogwarts having transferred in so late he was worried he would have difficulties meeting people and learning how to navigate the school. It was all easier than he had expected, not to say it was easy, just easier than expected.
Given the beautiful spring weather, Tommy decided to take a stroll through the school grounds. He was never a fan of winter. The spring weather was refreshing to him, but he longed for the heat of summer.
Speaking of summer, Tommy began to wonder what he should do during the summer break. He could go home and be miserable. Finally, having to tell the rest of his Ravenclaw and Gryffindor family that he was sorted into Slytherin, and deal with the bullies in his neighbourhood. Or he could stay for summer school. The choice seemed obvious when Tommy thought of it that way.
Tommy looked around, there weren't many students around that he could tell. Tommy thought this area was secluded enough. He took out the plant his friend had acquired for him, rather beautiful he thought. He crouched above the plant doing his best to try to hide it while still being able to look at it. The plant had a green stem with green and red leaves. He went over to the plant and waved his hand above the plant, wafting the air to his nose. It didn't have a distinct smell. He plucked a leaf from the steam. It seemed rather harmless. Tommy knew better, since he had excelled in the herbology classes he had taken, but curiosity was getting the better of him. The leaf looked so delicious, perhaps one nibble would not hurt. He began to bring the leaf towards his mouth, salivating at what he expected to be delicious.

T he suns rays seemed to light up the school grounds. The fresh spring air was cool but warm as if summer was trying very hard to burst through the doors to loudly present itself.
The school year went by rather quickly for Aleksandra though she has had very few encounters with other students her age or even in general the ashen blonde haired girl felt rather relieved. All she had to do was tolerate the rather interesting characters in her classes, finish them quickly and head back towards the dungeons to tend to her babies well plants.
Anyone who has met or knows Aleksandra knows the young girl loathes many things and interactions have always been those tending or even talking to people seemed to be rather drab and dull.
Even though the girl had to admit she had found at least an ally at the school, a certain ravenette haired girl that the young girl would much rather spend most of her days around even in plain silence, it was rather comforting to the ashen blonde girl.
This day was like any other bland and dreary even with the glorious weather that seemed to grace the grounds of Hogwarts like a soft sheet of snow.
Aleksandra wore a raven black half sleeve turtleneck shirt adorned with a pleated black skirt and knee length black socks with her usual sleek obsidian black loafers.
The young girl had her platinum blonde hair pulled up in a half updo style. While the majority of her bright platinum hair cascaded down her shoulders in ringlets of waves, part of it was up in a mid length ponytail swaying with every confident stride the young girl took.
All seemed pretty peaceful to the young girl as she continued walking in small strides through the grounds of Hogwarts; the young girl's steely gray eyes scanned the area with every stride she took.
Out of the corner of her eye the platinum haired girl noticed something rather strange: a young dark brunette haired boy was close to an interesting plant.
The plant itself caught Aleksandra’s attention. Though she was not a genius and knew every type of plant she did pride herself on what knowledge she had especially sense Herbology was one of her favorite classes and if you ask her the only important class in all honesty.
The steely gray eyed girl stopped for a second in her tracks eyeing the plant that the young boy seemed to be near. The plant to a plain eye would look merely harmless but noticing the red spots and green leaves along with the stem. Aleksandra seemed to grow a stern expression of course the young girl thought quietly to herself recalling what the plant is. Of course it’s only an issue if someone were to eat the leaves after all.
As Aleksandra thought to herself that was when the young girl noticed the young boy bring the leaf of the plant towards his mouth.
As if an alarm went off in her head the young girl seemed to storm over if one would look at the ashen blonde one would think the young girl was furious. Though that was slightly true but not entirely.
“DO NOT EAT THAT LEAF YOU BLOODY IDIOT!”
Aleksandra bellowed loudly a stern tone to her airy scottish tone. The normal soft spoken girl seemed to have found a sudden loud voice why? She had no idea. Maybe the fact that the young boy in front of her ended up pulling a leaf off of a harmless plant, well not entirely harmless or the fact that the bloody idiot was trying to eat said leaf!
Aleksandra had no idea how any could be so naive or dense. How could anyone just eat a random item from mother nature!
Aleksandra grew closer towards the young boy, her small frame stood tall as her face was slightly red from annoyance rage? Whatever the issue was Aleksandra was unhappy to say the least.
There goes a peaceful day the platinum haired girl thought quietly to herself.

Interacting with @Aleksandra FairBairn
Tommy staying crouching over the beautiful plant. Confused, perplexed, and shocked, he looked up at the girl standing over him. He then turned his attention to himself. He checked his shirt for blood, tapped his face to check for a nosebleed. As far as Tommy could tell, he was not bleeding. He wondered why the girl thought he was an idiot and why she told him he was bleeding when he wasn't.
Maybe she was threatening to make him bleed? Tommy was not a huge fan of violence. Also, Tommy wasn't the best at reading people or understanding their intentions. He knew he could be misunderstanding the situation. Tommy stood up. The girl was shorter than he thought. He looked down at the girl as he stood over her and noticed her face was slightly red, as she... blushing?
Tommy did not have much experience with women, or really with people at all, but he thought he should at the very least be kind to the girl. "Oh, I'm sorry. Did you want a bite? There are plenty of leaves we can share!"
The perfect thing to say, Tommy was sure this would calm his peer down and prevent any conflict between them. He, after all, did not want to bleed. He thought more about the girl's comment. How did she know he was an idiot? Sure, he was behind in his studied. Tommy, however, did have an O as an academic average, by his professors accounts he was a genius (or at least that's what Tommy told himself as he had never been told this or given any indication as to his professors actually believing this).
Tommy realized the girl appeared to be his year, otherwise, she was short for an upperclassman, eeerrrr well, upper classwoman. He realized this was a chance to introduce himself since he had already offered to share this plant snack. "My name is Tommy Patterson. Pleased to make your acquaintance. I am a first year in Slytherin and a renown Seer". Tommy knew it was better to lie about being a Seer when first meeting students as he had already been claiming to have visions while at Hogwarts, and had even faked one in the Great Hall recently. The more people he could convince, the more believable the lie would become.
Tommy took a bit more time to look at the student, waiting for her reply. She had really nice hair, half up, half down. The exact style Tommy couldn't name. He was never one for ascetics. He couldn't exactly tell what house the girl was a part of, but given her fiery personality he thought perhaps she was a Gryffindor enforcing rules. Tommy didn't really think to look at the girl's attire beyond her face, as her hair had captured his attention and he was still trying to determine if she was angry or blushing.

Aleksandra had arrived at her destination. Staring at the boy in front of her. Seeing the idiotic boy checking himself? What was he doing?
The platinum haired girl was rather perplexed on what this young boy was doing.
Aleksandra raised her eyebrow slightly in annoyance her face slightly red from the bubbling frustration and annoyance.
How on earth can anyone be this naive or just plain daring to eat a random leaf?! Maybe this kids parents or guardians never taught him to not eat plants without knowing their origin or properties.
To make matters worse the young boy offered a leaf to Aleksandra.
Aleksandra moved back slightly scrunching her face in disgust and annoyance. The plant itself was known for having unlikely people to eat it but she was not planning on a hospital wing trip this time around.
Sighing the young girl grabbed her temples between her thumb and index finger. Looking towards the boy with her steely gray eyes her lips were in a straight line pursed together.
“I rather not eat that Alihotsy. Clearly you don’t realize what that plants capable of but if you rather be in a fit of laughter be my guest.”
Aleksandra spoke sternly, her feathery Scottish accent held a stern annoyed tone to it as the young girl focused on the brunette haired boy in front of her.
Hearing the boy Tommy introduced himself and looking at the boy with a look of disbelief when he said something about Renown seer.
Aleksandra had heard rumors around Hogwarts after all children like to gossip but she has heard nothing really about a seer in first year. Though the boy seemed to be full of himself she figured that much.
Of course who would go on about being a seer anyways as a first year.
Giving the boy a look of annoyance as if she could not believe that nonsense he sprout. The young girl waved her left hand carelessly.
“My name is really none of your concern but formality reasons I will tell you anyway. I am Aleks FairBairn. I also am in Slytherin though that really does not matter.”
Aleksandra spoke quietly in her calm feathery scottish accent gazing slightly at the taller boy with squinted eyes.
“I do suggest you do not eat that plant but whatever you decide to do is on you I have no part in this. I am confident the nurse would not wish to deal with idiocy today or any day really.”
Aleksandra spoke calmly still slightly annoyed as she crossed her arms across her chest staring the boy down.
The platinum haired girl was curious on what the boy would do and unfortunately if he did end up eating the plant the young girl would have no choice but to drag the poor lad to the hospital wing. Which did not bode well with her at all. Unfortunately life does funny things after all.

Tommy thought he had finally figured it out. This girl was, in fact, blushing! Maybe he was more of a handsome devil than he had previously thought. He determined she must be embarrassed to talk to him and that she was shy since her face was so red. Why else would she be talking to him if she were angry? He thought. Realistically, Tommy was VERY wrong.
Taking pity on the girl, he thought maybe she did not have any friends. Tommy knew he had to think quickly of something to do. He rummaged through his pockets. His wand, how would that help, a melted chocolate. He doubted the girl would want that, and a few Knuts. Not a large enough sum to do anything with.
The melted chocolate gave Tommy an idea. Perhaps he could suggest getting food with the girl. Then he could rip the leaf in half, share it with her in secret (he was a very kind person and sharing was caring after all). Then when she consumed it Tommy could pop the other half in his mouth and let her know that they had both in face eaten the leaf. What could go wrong?
"Oh, okay, I won't eat the leaf. Thank you so much, but I am rather hungry and was looking for ingredients for a salad. I suppose I could go to the Great Hall for a salad. Have you tried one yet? They are simply AMAZING please accompany me I'll even help you pick out the best salad they have."
Tommy knew he had to use all his wits and tricks in order to pull off this act of kindness. Perhaps this event would be the blossoming of a lifelong friendship. The girl was in his house, so they would be spending at least a number of years in proximity, given that she looked close to his age.
"Maybe over a succulent refreshing salad meal, we can get to know one another. Perhaps if we are lucky, I will even get a vision of your future." Tommy was trying to sweeten the offer he knew that if @Aleksandra FairBairn said yes, then his chances of sneaking half the leaf into her food would dramatically increase. A salad was just a pile of leafs.

A leksandra was not convinced in the slightest. This young boy acted charming, maybe a tad over the top as if he was some big shot? Not only that he mentioned being a well known seer?
Aleksandra doubted that wholeheartedly the young boy was just that young. Whatever world he lived in was a lot different than Aleksandra’s for sure.
Aleksandra sighed softly, rubbing her temples. This boy seemed to talk fast and move quickly in conversation.
Something about going to the great hall for salads? Salads, what was she a rabbit?! Aleksandra narrowed her eyes, the platinum haired girl maybe a blonde but she sure as heck did not act like one in the slightest.
Aleksandra pierced her lips together in a tight scowl, her eyes narrowed in a slight glare. The young girl did not care for these games of his. Though Aleksandra figured she could humor herself slightly.
A soft smirk appeared on Aleksandra’s fair skinned face as she waved her right hand dismissively.
“We could go to the great hall and mingle I suppose, but I am not really fond of salads after all I am not a rabbit like yourself.”
Aleksandra spoke softly in her airy Scottish voice.
Aleksandra stepped back softly, eyes glistening with a hint of mischievousness if it were games that this boy would like to play. Then let the games begin.
May the smartest and more cunning of the two Slytherin first years prosper.•───⋅⋆⁺‧₊☽⛦☾₊‧⁺⋆⋅───••───⋅⋆⁺‧₊☽⛦☾₊‧⁺⋆⋅───•

Tommy could see the doubt written on the girl's face, but she had agreed to go to the Great Hall for a meal, so that was a win in his books.
"You're so silly Aleks, I'm not a rabbit, I'm a human."
The boy had a feeling she was on to him, but he had another trick up her sleeve. One that he hadn't used yet, he tried to use it only in the most desperate of situations and this classified as one of those. He wanted to show how caring he was by sharing the leaf with the girl. Surely she wanted a bite.
His stomach rumbled. He was hungry anyway. He lost track of time between admiring the plant and talking with his housemate. Today seemed like a good day for Tommy. He was meeting someone in his house, and he was hoping to have an unforgettable experience with them! Hogwarts was truly a school of magic, he reminded himself of what a privilege this was for him. He looked forward to sharing the leaf, hopefully in secret, with Aleks. "Alright enough dilly dallying let's get going we have food to eat and I don't know about you but I am rather famished"
